Compassion refers to the arising in the heart the desire to relieve the suffering of all beings.
~ Ram Dass
Payam is a Psychedelic Facilitator, Medicine Carrier and Lecturer who interfaces with various traditional and non-traditional psychedelic compounds in the treatment of trauma and to help individuals actuate their highest potential through their own inner-healing process.
He collaborates internationally with world-renowned Surgeons, Integrative Physicians, Psychiatrists and Therapists and supports clients and their team with his unique integrative-holistic approach. Additionally, he has presented his work internationally, reporting on the nature of pain and trauma through the unitary Mind-Body paradigm while also demonstrating how to alleviate pain at the intersection of traditional shamanic psychedelic medicines and Western evidence-based practices such as Somatic Internal Family Systems Therapy.
His work factors in the biopsychosocial (BSP), spiritual and energetic elements of healing. By acknowledging and addressing the totality of the human experience, he has seen firsthand how it can have a dramatic effect on mitigating the patient’s affective experience of trauma and pain.
