Bonney Elliott is a dual-licensed registered psychotherapist and nurse practitioner based in Ottawa, Canada. Working in private practice and group retreat settings, she has a decades-long career supporting people grieving loss and chronic illness, people recovering from trauma and those navigating significant life transitions. As we will hear in this episode, Bonney is also a person learning to caretake herself and find her own joy. After a childhood peppered with references to psychedelics in the 70’s and 80s, and a difficult first encounter with mushrooms in her early 20s, Bonney’s interest in psychedelics lay dormant but was eventually reignited by a CBC radio piece a few years ago about the connection between end of life distress and psilocybin mushrooms. From there she made her way to her first supported experience with psychedelics, and was able to experience some of the care and joy that she had been providing others throughout her life.
