I am a clinical psychologist practicing within an integrative healing model that addresses the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual aspects of the self.
With a breadth of knowledge encompassing psychedelic healing, mineral balancing, nutrition, mindfulness practices, biohacking, heart-based communication, various spiritual traditions, and altered states of consciousness, I support clients in achieving well-being across all dimensions of the self.
Living my purpose:
Co-founder of a Bosnia and Herzegovina-based NGO offering body-based trauma release exercises (TRE), sound baths, breathwork, and other integrative wellness modalities in the Balkans and beyond.
VETS, The Mission Within, Heroic Hearts, and The Hope Project
Guiding veterans and their families through psychedelic therapy paired with supportive healing modalities to address traumatic brain injury, PTSD, chronic pain, substance use issues, and various mental health challenges.
Faculty at the Global Sustainability Fellows program, incorporating ecopsychology, altered states of consciousness, personal development, and heart-based communication into international sustainable development initiatives.
Supported Native American clients in healing trauma and substance abuse issues via traditional ceremony, reclaiming culture, the 12-step model, and counseling.
How can psychedelics help?
Psychedelics are powerful, catalyzing medicines that stir up the unresolved trauma, emotional wounds, and disconnection from ourselves, others, and the web of life that underpin many mental health issues and even physical ailments. They take us past our conditioned sense of self to show us our essence, and who we have the capacity to become.
Psychedelic healing is not a magic bullet, and things sometimes get harder before they get better. When we are willing to do the work of meeting difficult emotions and opening to all parts of ourselves, as well as making lifestyle changes to give up unhelpful habits and actively tend to our well-being, these medicines can lead us to exquisite freedom.

Tension/Trauma Release Exercises
TRE is an incredibly effective yet simple body-based healing modality. The practice consists of seven light exercises and stretches (with adjustments provided for those with injuries or amputations), which activate a tremoring reflex in the lower body as pent-up energy is released from the muscles and nervous system.
TRE allows participants to release significant amounts of tension and trauma from the body, without having to get into painful memories or stories. It is very compatible with psychedelic healing, both before and after a journey.
Testimonials:
"I connected with Mia during the darkest time of my life when I felt completely lost, hopeless and frightened. Through her deep wisdom and her innate ability to understand me in a way I never thought possible, she helped guide me through this time and helped me get back to a place where I felt grounded and calm. Mia is a special soul and I feel profoundly lucky to have been connected with her."
