meet dr. Trina
“I believe in effective medicine. That’s why I’m using two decades of formal pharmacy education and experience to facilitate new therapies that work. After bearing witness to countless loved ones transform, my life has taken on a different path. I know now there’s a more fulfilling, connected way to live.
I’d like to show the world what can be done in a lifetime. We are here because of the seven generations before us, and we must act in consideration of the seven generations to come. Always remember, you are the medicine.”
Dr. Trina Nguyen | BSc Pharmacy, PharmD
testimonials
"It was PURE BLISS! I knew this was what I was hoping to attain through Meditation, and I wanted this visual and feeling to never end! Then I began to feel my hand held and I knew I was coming home. I was so happy I would see my friend again and honestly I had (oh my ;-) a delicious orgasm!!! I was and am so grateful for this experience. Thank you Trina for your gift."

"You provided such a safe space for me, and I think that really contributed to me being able to surrender to the experience fully. Our journey was my first time with this particular medicine, though I've had many other ceremonial experiences with medicines such as ayahuasca, peyote, and psilocybin. You told me that to start you give people lighter doses as an introduction to the medicine, and that also made me feel very comfortable."

Have you met the Goddess molecule?
Would you like to share her blessings?
Bufo or 5-MeO-DMT is like no other molecule, many have dubbed it the God/dess molecule - and for good reason. The experience in that single breath will take you to infinity, and safely back, with the eternal light of gnosis, as the parting gift.
It was such a successful offering the last time that I, the Dharmacist Trina and Lucy are honoured to host once again, a workshop where we can learn how to serve the 5 in a container of reverence, safety and consent.
Please join us and feel free to invite a soul you believe will be a good fit.
