Lori Losch is a certified addiction recovery and psychedelic integration coach, and a member of Beond’s therapeutic coaching team. She’s also a best-selling author, wellness advocate, adventure enthusiast, and self-proclaimed lifelong truth seeker who happens to have been my coach during my 2022 ibogaine journey at Beond. Lori has worked with several medicines including ayahuasca, ketamine, psilocybin, and 5-MeO-DMT, but says ibogaine holds a special place in her heart as it launched her into her own personal healing. As a coach, she helps clients with anxiety, depression, eating disorders, alcoholism, and consumerism. As Lori likes to say, coaching clients “from survival to soul-thrival” is her honor and privilege.
