Coach Info
About Me:I'm Kris Russell, a PCC-certified psychedelic preparation and integration coach with Full Heart Project. I hold my Professional Certified Coach credential through the International Coaching Federation and am a certified Psychedelic Integration and Transformation Coach through Being True to You. I carry professional liability insurance through CM&F Group.
My own path through burnout, a traumatic brain injury, and plant medicine brought me to this work. What began as survival became a complete reorientation toward Source, healing my marriage, shadow work, somatic healing, and a building a life that's aligned with my core values. I coach from that lived experience.
I work with adults nationwide via virtual sessions. My approach draws from Integral Coaching, somatic experiencing, mindfulness, parts work, and reflective dialogue. I'm a peer, not guru. The client is the expert in their own life. My role is to create radical safety and walk alongside them as insights become embodied via sustainable life shifts.
Description of Services:Full Heart Project offers two core services:
Psychedelic Preparation and Integration Coaching supports adults preparing for or returning from ceremonies involving ayahuasca, psilocybin, San Pedro/huachuma, ketamine, 5-MeO-DMT/Bufo, MDMA, and other psychedelics. Preparation is treated as equally important as post-ceremony integration; the container begins long before the medicine. Work is structured in a six-session arc covering both preparation and integration. Sessions are virtual, nationwide.
Beyond Integration is longer-term coaching for existing clients who are ready to move from insight to embodied change: shifting patterns, rebuilding identity, and living the life the medicine revealed was possible. This work is offered in 12-session blocks, providing the sustained support that real behavioral change requires.
All work is harm-reduction oriented, scope-of-practice disciplined, and designed to complement any existing therapeutic support.

Credentials & Certifications: Profesionally Certified Coach (International Coaching Federation), Psychedelic and Transformational Coach (Being True to You)Remote Practitioner: YesPrice Range: $750-1500 / seriesMy Process
Intake Process:New clients begin with a free 20-minute discovery call. I start by learning a bit about what brought them to their sacrament work: the reasons, the intention, and where they are in the process. From there, I walk them through what prep and integration coaching actually looks like: six hour-long sessions over six to eight weeks, with many clients choosing to continue beyond that initial arc.
I'm transparent from the outset that I'm a coach, not a clinician. I don't diagnose or treat medical or mental health conditions, and our work is designed to complement rather than replace any clinical care they have. Everything discussed is confidential.
Fees are offered on a sliding scale of $750 to $1,500 for the six-session arc, with no judgment about where a client lands within that range...every client receives the same level of service regardless of fee.
If it's a good fit, clients receive an invoice, a client services agreement, and a detailed intake form.
Overview of Protocol:Whether you're preparing for an upcoming ceremony or returning from one and seeking support to integrate it, work is structured across six sessions covering both preparation and integration. Many clients begin before their ceremony and continue through integration afterward, though clients are also welcome to begin the work post-ceremony if that's where they are when we connect.
Preparation sessions focus on setting intention, nervous system readiness, harm reduction, and building the inner resources needed to meet whatever arises. Integration sessions focus on making meaning, embodying insight, and translating what the experience revealed into concrete, lasting change in daily life.
Tools drawn on throughout include somatic experiencing, mindfulness, breathwork, parts work, reflective dialogue, and gentle accountability. All work is client-led...I'm a peer, not a guru.

I hired Kris after a powerful psychedelic healing session because I didn’t want the breakthrough to fade — I wanted help integrating it in a way that would actually stick in real life. I’ve worked with him for almost three months, and it’s been a profoundly healing and grounding journey.
Kris has a rare mix of gifts: he’s fully present, deeply safe to be with, and genuinely caring — and he’s also grounded, paced really well, gentle but direct, and never makes you feel rushed. Sessions just flow naturally. What sets him apart, in my experience, is his intuition — he seems to know when to go deeper, when to slow down, and exactly what tool to use to help things land in the body, not just in the mind.
I’ve done inner-child work for over 30 years, and with Kris, I didn’t just “get it” intellectually — I actually integrated not only my inner child, but other parts of me too. For the first time, those parts feel like they have new jobs: helping me connect with life instead of protecting me from it.
The outcomes have been real and practical: steadier moods, more self-care, more energy, and effective self-regulating practices I can actually use at home. I feel more alive, more relaxed, more confident, and lighter — even grateful to be here. Kris creates the kind of safety and momentum that makes real change possible — he is an incredible person to work with.
When I first started working with Kris, I was in a place of deep inner chaos. Years of masking anxiety with substances had left me disconnected from myself, my body, my relationships, especially with my wife and daughter, and my sense of purpose. I came to Kris not just for preparation and integration around a psychedelic journey, but because I needed to rebuild the foundation of my life.
From our very first conversation, Kris brought a presence that was steady, nonjudgmental, and deeply human. He created a space where I could start telling the truth, to myself first and then to others. That shift, towards self-honesty and accountability, became the center of my healing.
Kris helped me prepare intentionally for the psychedelic journey: physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Where he truly made the biggest impact was in the integration. He walked with me in the weeks that followed as I navigated huge internal shifts: learning to trust my body again, feeling peace for the first time in years, showing up in my relationships with presence instead of guilt, and staying grounded in sobriety.
With his support, I am becoming a man who responds instead of reacts. A father who teaches by example. A partner who doesn’t perform, but tells the truth. I’ve reconnected to something greater than myself: nature, spirit, love, and I’ve found that what I was searching for was never “out there.” It was always within me.
If you’re considering coaching with Kris, especially around psychedelics, recovery, or life transformation, know this: he won’t give you easy answers. He’ll give you the tools, the space, the accountability, and the deep listening you need to find your own. And that’s what makes the change stick.
Thank you, Kris, for being part of my path.
I first hired Kris for six weeks to help me integrate a recent psychedelic experience. We ended up working together for over six months.
I could share all the normal accolades that people share during a recommendation and they would all be true. Things like how present Kris is and how I feel deeply heard and seen. How I am able to travel to places in my story that I haven’t been able to access before.
But what really sets Kris apart is how he’s gently guided me to put my hands on the wheel of mind/ body connection. It has allowed me to really let the thoughts take a backseat and allow the body wisdom to sit at the helm. During one of our sessions, I had a significant opening and my breath started to flow into my upper chest, where it has not been accessible for many, many years.
A couple weeks later I was on the phone with the medical support who monitors my sleep data and they asked what happened Tuesday a couple weeks ago. That was my last session with Kris. It wasn’t a slight shift. It was a radical shift in sleep disturbance that has held since. I told her about the somatic coaching that I was doing. Not knowing about somatic coaching she took notes and wanted to look into it.
That affirmed the level of work that I’ve been doing with Kris. This is no miracle cure, there is still work ahead, but solid milestones of progress that have shifted my being.
