Coach Info
About Me:Hello and Welcome! I'm Dr. Amanda Bienkowski -- a licensed naturopathic physician, herbal medicine maker, and founder of Sun Garden Natural Medicine. My work explores the intersection of vitalist health approaches, altered states of consciousness, and our human relationship with the living world.
Whether you are preparing for an upcoming psychedelic experience or integrating a past event, I'm here to help.
My practice with psychedelics is informed by both up-to-date clinical evidence and a rich personal experience... allowing me to deeply empathize with and understand my patients and their goals. My approach is centered around compassionate and sustainable methods of cultivating strong health foundations and transformation -- with the support of the psychedelic experience. I believe in the value of altered states of consciousness as a determinant of health, and support individuals with preparation and integration of both psychedelic and near death experiences.
My values are rooted in the highest regard for safety, ecology, and fair access; while upholding and advocating for right relationship with psychedelic plants, fungi, animals, and the indigenous communities who tend to them.
Description of Services:My services include 1-hour talk-based counseling sessions which can be offered both in-person or virtually.

Intake Process:Our comprehensive intake session is designed to identify and support your evolving needs. Together we will review your health history and goals, your psychedelic experiences, current medications and potential interactions, somatic patterns, sleep, stress, mood, as well as spiritual, relational, and psychosocial context. My goal is to understand YOU as an individual and how I can best support your unique needs.
Overview of Protocol:Whether you're actively processing an unresolved event or preparing for an upcoming plant medicine experience, Naturopathic psychedelic counseling honors the depth and complexity of non-ordinary states of consciousness and their multilayered impact on the experiencer.
During this 60-minute visit, we will take the time to explore your mental health history, identify your unique needs, and build a personalized care plan that may include somatic exercises, journal prompts, nutritional, and lifestyle recommendations.
This visit is collaborative and paced intentionally to allow space for questions, honest conversation, and shared decision-making -- offered in a harm-reduction context and free of judgement about the nature or legal status of your experience.
This visit may be a good fit if you are processing an experience with: psilocybin, ketamine, ayahuasca, mescaline, LSD, MDMA, DMT, bufotenine, holotropic breathwork, etc. or preparing for an upcoming experience, currently in a ketamine therapy program, exploring microdosing practices, or seeking harm reduction strategies.
All visits are designed to be clinically thorough, non-judgmental, and human-centered. Virtual options are available.
Please note: services are talk-based counseling and naturopathic consultative by nature. Dr. Amanda does not facilitate, provide, or advise on the sourcing of any substances.
