About Me:Hi, I’m Janice.
I’m delighted you’re here and exploring options to support your psychedelic experience! Being well prepared before your journey and having support to integrate it afterwards is truly where the magic happens. I can’t imagine signing up for a retreat without it!
I’ve been intentionally working with plant medicines and supporting others as a Psychedelic Integration Coach since earning my certification in 2020.
My path on this journey of being of service to others through ‘alternative’ healing began in the late '90s when I chose a career as an Herbalist, after searching for a profession that aligned with my core beliefs. At the time, I was homeschooling my kids and raising them on my own, so finding a path that worked for us was essential.
Through my herbal training, I was introduced to Traditional Indigenous Practices, Ayurveda, and Shamanism. I also delved into non-ordinary states of consciousness through drum journeying, dreamwork, plant and animal spirit attunement, and the sacred passages of death and dying.
A few years into my herbal practice, I joined the team at my local health food store to expand my knowledge of nutritional supplements, and work alongside others who shared my commitment to holistic health. For over 20 years, I have served my community through private practice and as a supplement manager.
It makes sense to me now, knowing what I know about psychedelics that my path was leading me to this work but, I resisted it at first. I experimented with psychedelics as a teen but didn’t know anything about the therapeutic uses until I came across Dr. Gabor Maté's work and read ‘How To Change Your Mind’ by Michael Pollan.
I come from a family with deep roots in addiction, where I learned to master "codependency" and become an expert "enabler". Dr. Maté's perspective on addiction and his compassionate approach really resonated with me but, when I learned that he was offering Ayahuasca retreats, it triggered a conflict in my mind. The ‘Don’t Do Drugs’ campaigns of the ‘80s had programmed me well.
After a friend gave me a copy of Michael Pollan’s book my passion for learning was sparked and led me to a program that integrated addiction recovery with the healing properties of psychedelics. Six months later, I was on a healing path like no other!
My own journey of growth and transformation with psychedelics parallels my coaching practice. I am deeply grateful for the healing and wisdom these plant medicines continue to offer and feel honored to be of service to those on their own path of transformation.
Description of Services:Psychedelic Preparation and Integration
I offer personalized, one-on-one coaching sessions via Zoom or phone to guide you through the preparation and integration phases of your psychedelic experience.
I embrace the harm reduction model and work with you as you prepare for your journey to ensure you are supported and well resourced for a safe and transformative experience.
Together, we’ll unpack your experience to anchor the insights and healing you received, embrace the wisdom from your journey to guide you in your everyday life, and identify the action steps for you to take for long-lasting and meaningful change.
We’ll adapt our sessions to match your needs. I have plenty of worksheets, templates, and plans, but the curriculum comes from you. “You are the medicine”. Your inner wisdom leads the way!

I would highly recommend Janice McInnes.
I have been seeing her over a year now. She has truly help guide me thru some tough times…She has helped me to find focus n clarity, when I really needed some guidance.
I have worked with a number of facilitators when doing plant-based medicine work. Janice is absolutely one of the best I’ve encountered, and she has a real gift for help you find your truths. She is also such a great human being that I now count her as a friend, not just a coach.
I worked with Janice to integrate a deep psychedelic experience and she was so helpful! Her insights were profound and her gentle and loving demeanor drew out what needed to be drawn out. She definitely holds a very safe and skilled container. Thank you so much, Janice! Your work is profound and you are a gift to this community. 🙂
I’m not exactly sure how to fully express the gratitude I have for Janice. She’s both brilliant and kind. I can’t think of anybody I would’ve rather had to help me with my integration after the most profound psychedelic journey I have ever experienced. I was sifting through a lot of trauma and related health issues when she showed me some guidance that was invaluable. To say that journey, combined with Janice’s exceptional integration of that experience, changed my life forever would be a gross understatement.
