I am delighted to share the second episode of the Love, Sex and Intimacy podcast, a conversation with Sarah Tilley, founder and CEO of Beautiful Space Wellness, a legal and safe psilocybin-assisted therapy program for couples and individuals with a focus on modern relationships and sexual wellness.

Sarah is a long term student of Esther Perel and has been working with plant consciousness and altered states for 20 years with individuals and groups. 

Sarah talks about why there is a huge growth of working with psychedelics for healing and well being, how she works with psychedelics and the depth of preparation and integration that her programme offers and why people might work with her.

She also shares the phenomenal successes that her clients experience, the difference between conventional couples therapy and psychedelic couples therapy, core skills for erotic and relational wellness and so much more.
