Connecting you with the resources needed to get the most out of your 5-MeO-DMT experience..
Integration Specialists
Integration is the most important phase of any medicine experience. It can be understood as the master key that catalyzes maximum transformation within an individual’s human experience. To get the most out of a 5-MeO-DMT experience, integration is non-negotiable. The process itself is hard work. It can bring to the surface challenges, disintegration, and even spiritual deaths.
Enlisting the help of a 5-MeO-DMT Integration Specialist here can be invaluable. They are specifically trained to help individuals unpack their experience and create lasting change within their lives through a variety of tools. When choosing which integration specialist to work with, it is important to consider if they have an intimate understanding of the medicine you are actively working on integrating.
As it is important to seek out integration specialists who have direct experience with this molecule, all of F.I.V.E.’s listed integration specialists have first-hand experience and/or training with 5-MeO-DMT.

As a way to help us support the community via our Give Back Initiative, individuals booking integration sessions should be sure to let their integration specialist know they were found via the F.I.V.E website.
Victoria Wueschner
F.I.V.E. Founder & President
5-MeO-DMT Facilitator & Educator
Kambo Practitioner
5-MeO-DMT Integration Specialist
Victoria’s first introduction into the world of healing was through plant medicine. Knowing she had found her path, Victoria explored the world, working with different psychedelic plant medicines over the span of a decade, with both indigenous and modern teachers. In 2016 she set out to complete her Yoga teacher training in Bali, which allowed her to gain further insight into the different lenses used in spirituality. After returning to her home on Vancouver Island to share these gifts, she continued to persue her fascination with plant medicines.
After taking time to honor her own process and growth, Victoria stepped into the role of a medical practitioner. In early 2019 she completed her Kambo training and certification through IAKP in Thailand. Later that year, Victoria then completed her first training with the powerful medicine 5-MeO-DMT, said to be the most powerful psychoactive experience known to man. Longing to deepen her understanding of medicine, she continued two more consecutive training over the span of a year. Deeply moved by the force of this medicine, she immersed herself in the toad community, learning all she could in order to best serve this powerful medicine to the world.
Deeply intrigued by Joseph Campbell’s work, she studied the Hero’s Journey at length and later applied it as a geographical lens in her work to assist participants to effortlessly move into their own innermost workings. Choosing to continue her education to best support others, she enrolled in a year-long psychedelic integration training, where she chose to specialize in the 5-MeO-DMT integration process. Her dedication to her craft earned her a position with the international psychedelic wellness company Kaivalya Kollectiv, where she works as both the head of education and a retreat leader, applying all she has learned over her years.
Victoria is the founder and president of Kaivalya’s education platform F.I.V.E (5-MeO-DMT Information and Vital Education). Her mission at F.I.V.E is to provide the world with a centralized hub for all resources and education on 5-MeO-DMT in hopes of bringing awareness to the ethics, integrity, and safety of 5-MeO-DMT.

5-MeO-DMT Facilitator
Psychedelic Integration Specialist
Teacher of Vedanta/Yoga
Joël Brierre is a Yogi, psychedelic integration specialist, and spiritual coach. He began his relationship with psychedelics as a teenager in an exploratory manner. Marveling at the chance to explore the unexplored, Joël began training with Curanderos in Peru in 2001, where he further pursued these heightened states of awareness. Eventually shifting his focus into a deep and devoted yoga practice, he began teaching yoga and meditation and soon moved on to India to study in an ashram setting in Rishikesh. From there, he traveled all around the world, soaking up knowledge and sharing what he’d learned. He was reintroduced to plant medicine in 2009 while living in the Caribbean and began to incorporate this into his yoga practice. From there, he went on to study with various guides and facilitators of differing lineages and practices. With this combination of knowledge, Joël now leads retreats and workshops around the world on the plant medicine and yoga connection.
With over ten years of teaching and multiple teacher training, Joël is certified at 500 ERYT. Joël mainly works with the compound 5-MeO-DMT in it’s pure form as well as in the venom of the Bufo Alvarius toad. This compound is said to be the most powerful entheogen on the planet, allowing participants to experience a non-dual state of awareness in which they cease to view reality as an individual and are completely absorbed into the infinite. Joël believes the toad medicine’s effect on a non-dual experience is congruent with the Samadhi states that can be attained through yoga. He assists individuals through pre and post-integration using a program he derived from the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali.

At age 15, Colette healed complete quadriplegia with a 2% chance of recovery using techniques she intuitively learned and shares them with her clients as part of her self-directed neuroplasticity framework for self-healing. This injury opened Colette to begin walking a shamanic path of study with nature and consciousness.

Colette trains virtually all her coaching clients in self-directed neuroplasticity techniques that help redirect unhealthy or unwanted patterns of belief or cognition for better ones and arms her clients with their own ability to support positive change in their daily lives. She seamlessly integrates the scientific and the shamanic aspects of walking a path of healing.

K'hIEl Anker
Psychospiritual Transformational Coach
MDMA and Psilocybin Guide
Men’s Work and Retreat Facilitator
Spiritual Emergency & Shadow Work
I am a Psychospiritual Transformation Coach that specializes in preparation, skill development, and integration of psychedelic and plant medicine ceremonies. I navigate this work with a focus on shadow work, goal setting, and skill development, all with the ultimate goal of defining, contacting, and embodying your personal Avatar (aka, True Self). Of all aspects of spiritual and personal growth, I am most skilled at navigating ‘The Dark Night of The Soul’ (aka ‘Spiritual Emergency’), especially when it manifests as depression, anxiety, addiction, and suicidal ideations. My mission in this work is Medicine Culture Reform: a synergistic integration of ancient indigenous medicine traditions with the unique healing requirements of Western trauma by developing open-source codes of conduct with a global council of thought leaders and practitioners. I have been working intentionally with entheogens for the past 8 years, the last 4 of which I have served as an assistant producer and facilitator to San Pedro / Huachuma circles in Santa Barbara. The most pivotal arc of my own spiritual journey occurred when I attended an immersive healing festival in the Amazon with the Huni Kuin tribe for 2 weeks, which included assistance in preparing Ayahuasca and hape – the latter of which I was given the blessing to carry and serve. During this festival, I sat with Ayahuasca many times, and was profoundly transformed. However, upon return, there was no integration assistance, and I entered my first Dark Night of The Soul, ushering me into nearly 3 years of anxiety, depression, and suicidal contemplations after losing my job, home, and partner. As I began to emerge from the darkness, I found my psychospiritual coaching training with Being True to You – which offered the support I lacked after my Amazon Journey, and led me to my life’s purpose in this work. I am deeply experienced with the use of psilocybin mushrooms, hape, MDMA, ketamine, NN-DMT, 5-MEO DMT, 2-CB, and GHB as healing tools. I am a level 2 Reiki Practitioner, student of CranioSacral Therapy, and Gene Keys enthusiast. Before committing myself to psychospiritual healing, I worked at General Electric as an IT Project Manager, at various consulting agencies as a Software Product Manager, and as an entrepreneur in the cannabis and personal care industries. I was raised in Rhode Island, went to college at Worcester Polytechnic Institute in Worcester, and now reside in Chimirol, Mt. Chirripo, Costa Rica. I live to serve those who seek to grow through intentional entheogenic use, and am devoted to offering the care and wisdom to help them navigate their awakenings safely and powerfully with the proper support and tools.

Alberto Yarleke (Spanish)
Psychedelic Integration Guide
Transpersonal Psychology
Bufo Alvarius, Peyote & Ayahuasca Facilitator
Holotropic Breathwork & Meditation Guide
Born in the late 60s in a Native Q`echua Community on the eastern slope of the Andes, Vilcabamba, Ayacucho – Peru.
The fact of coming directly from a Native Biological root has had a very important impact in his life, defining and linking him directly with one of the most ancestral and recognized practices within the Cultural platform of his community.
Alberto had many extrasensory experiences when he was still a minor; later, in adolescence, he became aware of these natural aptitudes and began to develop them gradually, and so it was that from his early adulthood he became an active promoter of Health.
In the previous period (as an apprentice), during his years of research and practice, he had the opportunity to connect with some Native traditions in the south and north of the continent; those trips besides nurturing, amplifying and refining his extrasensory aptitude, also gave him the opportunity to gather the material and empirical support required to create an anthology of work with the essential fundamentals and coming directly from the knowledge and experience of various native masters in the management, the use of the benefits of the “power plants,” the extrasensory aspect of shamanism, and the knowledge associated with neuroscience and transpersonal psychology for application in therapeutic treatments.
To date, Alberto has a solid experience in this medical aspect of shamanism-25 years.
Therefore, and based on all that experience, he has elaborated a characteristic system of work where he links the influential impact of the energetic effect with the benefits of the deep understanding of transpersonal psychology and the basic elements associated with science.

Chris serves from a place of integrity, caring curiosity, understanding, and empathetic intuition. He creates a container of safety, confidentiality, and empowerment; present and welcoming to all wherever you are.
Observing reality as it is, within the framework of the body, moment to moment, is the essence of vipassana, a meditation practice that one learns in a 10-day silent course. Since 2008, Chris has sat a dozen of these courses, which have developed in him a deep awareness and equanimity about suffering and its causes.
As an initiated Sufi and leader in the Dances of Universal Peace, Chris is able to relate with the wisdom of all the great traditions.
In 2010, Chris experienced his first plant medicine ceremony; this set in motion a motorcycle journey across South America and an ongoing relationship, healing, and education with the wisdom of the Plant Teachers.

It is with great respect, humility, and gratitude that Chris continues his work with entheogens.

Melanie Kay
Psychedelic Integration Specialist
Certified Hakomi Practitioner
Somatic Trauma Therapist
Breathwork Facilitator
Weaving Hakomi with breathwork, embodied meditation, fluid movement practices and Expressive arts modalities, I guide my clients into deep attunement with their own inner wisdom to unravel habitual holding patterns of the body/ mind creating more aliveness, fluidity and freedom. I specialize in psycho-somatic /spiritual counseling and whole being integration.
For more than two decades, I have been on the path of spiritual, emotional and physical transformation.
I graduated from the University of North Carolina, with a degree in International Studies where I studied ancient healing systems and how different cultures cared for their bodies and souls. I infused my education with direct experiences traveling and living abroad, fascinated by the worlds’ shamanic traditions for transforming and elevating consciousness and health.
My deep interest in somatics, dance and the body/mind/spirit connection led me into the healing arts of somatic psychotherapy, yoga, breath, and sound therapies. I am honored to be weaving together these profound systems of healing.
My passion lies in helping others find balance in their body/mind/spirit through natural methods, and co-discovering the tools that will assist each person in becoming their own healer. At the center of my own embodied awakening journey are the experiences of breast cancer, religious trauma and narcissistic abuse. Through these experiences, I have learned that healing is a multidimensional process which requires self exploration into one’s physical, emotional, spiritual, and mental territories, and that these facets are interconnected and inseparable. I know that we are designed to heal when given loving attention and a safe environment.

Luis rodriguez
Integrative Nutritional Health Coach
Mind Body Practitioner
Operations Manager- Kaivalya Kollectiv
*Integrative health integration only. Not psychedelic integration.
Luis is a certified integrative nutritional health coach, mind body practitioner, and the
operations manager for Kaivalya Kollectiv and Tandava Retreats. With an additional fifteen plus years in the culinary arts and hospitality industry. Spanning from his core experiences in Michelin star restaurants throughout Chicago and abroad, to pivoting into the private sector for bio-individual based diets and chef services in Los Angeles. Where his professional and personal spiritual path to healing collided.
A first generation Mexican American whose path into being of service to others began early on in his adolescent years. Learning from his father who was also a chef and mother who is a medical professional. Having learned the cultural significance and importance of sharing and gathering people from all walks of life and sharing nourishment, to having the curiosity and insight of health sciences and how interconnected the two are. Through early childhood adversities and traumas, and the sudden passing of his father in his teenage years. He quickly became driven to connect with others to explore the path of healing. Through the years he began to study and research the connection between the mind-body relationship in various cultural foods, such as ayurveda to understanding how environments have a direct effect to genes. He dove deep by working his way alongside some of the best and respected chefs in the US and abroad to gather perspective on their connection to their cultural and spiritual connection to food.After being hit hard with his first true deep dark night of the soul following many years of the demands of the hospitality industry, he had fallen into the many toxic coping mechanisms that run prevalent in the industry. He walked away and reconnect with himself and the world and start his healing journey once more. Having found where he wanted to set his intentions, he then studied various subjects such as holistic nourishment, gut microbiome health, elimination and detoxification diets, biology of food addictions, emotional eating and how stress sparks the bodies response with inflammation and digestive distress etc. As he began to work in more intimate settings in home and remote with high profile clients, so did integrating his culinary expertise with the nutritional knowledge and coaching skills he had gathered.
Simultaneously during this time he began to work with the entheogenic medicines, particularly with the 5-meo-dmt molecule. Breaking down many of the once limiting beliefs and barriers the ego had created in how he supported the self and others. As the years passed, he begin to assist and facilitate in ceremonies and retreats under two practitioners who’ve mentored him along the way of self healing and discovery.
Luis’s approach to coaching is interwoven with all his experiences and tools to provide the type of support for healing the body, mind, and spirit. His perspective is one cannot be treated without the others in unison. By deconstructing various types of diets, blood types, body compositions, gut health. Yet also allowing the subtleties of his understandings of mental health, the myers-briggs model, attachment theory, and creating integration modalities that create a coaching container that engages treating the root cause and not just the physical symptoms we experience. Thus leading and leaning into promoting long lasting self-healing for all.
