Birgitta is a psychiatrist in Vancouver, BC with a special interest in psychedelic medicine as a powerful tool for accelerated healing from deeply rooted psychological trauma.  She realized early on that standard psychiatric treatments are inadequate for many individuals and participated in the MAPS (Multidisciplinary Association of Psychedelic Studies) psychedelic psychotherapy training program in 2017 at the beginning of her journey to seek novel treatments in her field.   She was a participant in cohort 3 of the Roots to Thrive Program to learn about the program and embraced its teachings and experiences in her own healing journey with great benefit in both her personal and professional life.  She is now part of the Sea To Sky team to provide greater access to this professionally supported and carefully developed program.
