You’ve hit a point where something needs to change.


You’ve outgrown old patterns, roles, or ways of being, but you’re not sure what’s next. You feel stuck, and you also know there’s something more true, more free, and more aligned waiting for you.


Are you navigating self-doubt, burnout, imposter syndrome, anxiety, depression, addiction or a deeper inner call you can’t ignore anymore?


If you're like many purpose-driven leaders, you may feel like you're stuck in a season of survival mode. Successful on the outside but drifting away on the inside.


Survival mode comes at a cost.


The cost:

  • Constant self-doubt, no matter how much you achieve
  • Saying “yes” when you mean “no” and resenting it later
  • Losing your voice in rooms where you should be leading
  • Burnout that leaves you questioning everything
  • Drifting away from your values, your vision, and your self
  • Letting fear, not clarity, drive decision making
  • Performative confidence that feels like a mask
  • Feeling distant in your relationships, especially the ones that matter most
  • Being so focused on everyone else, you forget what you want


Survival mode might keep you high-functioning, but it comes at a cost. Over time, it dilutes your focus, erodes your leadership presence, and distances you from what matters most.


Our work together gives you space to think clearly, make aligned decisions, strengthen your relationships, and lead with renewed confidence, especially in the face of uncertainty.


You’re not broken. You’re at the edge of transformation, and you don’t have to do it alone.

Garet Free practicing Psychedelic Medicine Work and Holistic Coaching in Chicago, IL

About me

Hi, I’m Garet, a trauma-informed coach, psychedelic guide, and former paramedic who’s spent over 20 years walking with people through crisis, transformation, and everything in between. I offer psychedelic medicine work, holistic coaching, nervous system regulation, amino acid therapy, and psychedelic integration coaching to help you release what’s been holding you back and reconnect with who you truly are with clarity, confidence, and care. I specialize in holding space for big shifts - in coaching sessions or before, during, and after psychedelic experiences for harm reduction.


My passion for this work stems from my own transformation. After more than a decade as a paramedic, I found myself navigating the business world and my personal life in a bit of a daze from a lot of unresolved trauma. Psychedelic medicine work came into my world and saved my life. As I've returned to my roots as a healer and helper, I'm here to help you navigate your own transformation with ease and care - leveraging my vast personal and professional experience.


I work especially well with purpose-driven professionals, the LGBTQ+ community, and people who are used to taking care of everyone else but are ready to care for themselves. 


Whether you’re preparing for or integrating a psychedelic experience, navigating a major life transition, or just ready to stop feeling stuck, I’m here to walk with you toward what’s next.
