katy laubscher
Katy is a ceremonial psilocybin facilitator. Her facilitation work is done through a shamanic or earth-based spiritual lens. Katy enjoys working with anyone who would like to take a ceremonial or spiritual approach to their psilocybin journey. As one of the first one hundred psilocybin facilitators to be licensed in Oregon, she has had the opportunity to work with a variety of clients from young to old, as well as clients with medical issues, and mental health diagnosis. With a real passion for working with groups, she is often holding group ceremonies as well as individual sessions.
As a young woman, Katy traveled to Mexico to study Anthropology and Spanish, during her travels there she was connected with a family of indigenous curanderos in the Vera Cruz region of Mexico. They performed a profound healing on her, that changed the course of her of life. When she returned to the US after this immersion, she decided to study the healing arts, and moved to Santa Fe, NM. It was here she was immersed again in a new culture of alternative healing. She received a diploma in massage and bodywork, and began what is now her 23 year career in the healing arts.
Katy has studied with the Shipibo-Conibo in the Amazon of Peru, and the Wixárika in Mexico. She has completed a one year training, as well as basic and advanced shamanic healing with the Power Path School of Shamanism. She served on the board of directors for the Society of Shamanic Practice as a community facilitator for their Shamanism without Borders program through the years of the pandemic. Katy also holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Nutrition from Bastyr University, is a registered minister and maintains a private practice for massage and shamanic energy healing in the Kerns neighborhood of Portland, OR. Katy first began experimenting with psychedelics as a teenager, took many years off of these experiences, and has been on a personal deep dive journey with psilocybin and other plant entheogens for the past 8 years. She has deep reverence for these plants (especially psilocybin mushrooms) and very much looks forward to sharing how these plants can enrich, heal, and expand our lives.

Katy is a phenomenal leader and guide. She is also a very talented masseuse who gave me the best massage of my life. She is kind and gentle, loving and understanding. I recommend having Katy by your side in any experience or on any journey.

Katy is a wise, compassionate and gentle guide. There is no one I would trust more to guide me through my inner journeys. She creates a physical and psychic space for deep soul healing.
Tara C.| Portland, OR
I’m so grateful to Katy. I treated with my chiropractor for several months for a slip and fall injury but wasn’t recovering completely. My chiropractor sent to me Katy and after just one treatment, my pain was greatly reduced. After a few months, I recovered from this painful injury. I highly recommend her!
K. Silva | Portland, OR
Katy combines a deep understanding of physiology with powerful intuition and energy work. Her massage therapy has kept me healed, healthy and grounded through some difficult times. I can’t recommend her services highly enough.
H. Hayes-Klein | Portland, OR
Katy is fabulous. She has helped me over the last couple months after a bad car crash, and she went far beyond just making sure that my physical obstacles were worked out. She was lovely to talk to and helped me heal in more ways than one. Can’t recommend her highly enough!!!
