About Me

I’m Brian, a.k.a Twocats. I grew up in Vermont and spent the better part of my adult life as an actor, director, writer and composer in the New York City theater world. I come to this work as a natural continuation of my own healing path, beginning with my first plant medicine ceremony in 2015, where I was shown, for the first time in years, a clear vision for what my life could be. Medicine work has been a central focus of my world ever since and my life has been transformed as a result. These days, it’s my greatest privilege to safely share with and witness others in their own transformations. I have participated in scores of traditional plant medicine ceremonies in South America, have undertaken several traditional plant “dietas” learned from many teachers, facilitators and mentors from the Shipibo, Quechua and Santo Daime traditions and completed a three year intensive guide training program in 2020, rooted in the Mazatec tradition of Mexico, while also incorporating contemporary therapeutic modalities into my work such as NARM (Neuro-Affective Relational Model) and Hakomi. I’ve met the rigorous vetting standards of the Psychedelic Passage Network and am one of their few professional facilitators in the northeastern United States.
