Client Testimonials

"The most amazing, transformational week of my life. I am grateful for the flexibility, knowledge and mindfulness brought into such a sacred container. Erica trusted me in my healing, and that was refreshing and allowed my ability to deep dive and step into my life and purpose more fully. Ineffable is the word that continues to come to mind, but it was a truly beautiful week of being witnessed, held, trusted and heard. Growth in community and sacred container is powerful along with this incredible plant medicine that has evolved with us to guide healing. "

Dr. Kelly Prill, Functional Neurologist

"Such a beautiful experience. I couldn't believe how full every day was with learning and bonding and growing. I'm so thankful I got to witness and be a part of everything that happened during those magical few days. Erica did an extraordinary job connecting to each person, keeping the tone serious, calm and fun all at the same time while managing to all of the details of the retreat. I'm so glad I went, it was wonderful and life changing."

Ryan S.

"As both a mental health therapist and as someone with complex trauma, the two Right to Heal [RUJ] retreats I've been on have been some of the most joyful, meaningful, and healing experiences of my life. I've learned things about myself through the journeys and group containers built that have profoundly changed the way I see myself and the way I operate in the world."

Jessi

"We were supported by an extremely competent and qualified team that made for a safe and healing experience beyond words. I definitely will be returning! I am forever grateful to these incredible facilitators and staff. "

Marilyn O’Brien

"Being believed-in is a very special kind of life-affirming medicine itself & [RTH/RUJ] has mastered it 🔥 I trust Dr. Erica & her team more than almost any other practitioners in the world (& I’m a practitioner myself!). The sense of safety & trust created is unparalleled & has repeatedly proven itself to be reliable & real. "

Eve

"If given the opportunity to work with Erica and her team on a healing journey, please do not hesitate. Any sacrifices you make to give yourself the time and space to heal will be worth it. This is life-changing work and YOU are worth it. The safe and supportive environment provided by Dr. Zelfand and her team allowed for the healing of wounds and trauma I had been carrying for over 30 years and I have already seen positive change and results integrated into my daily life. "

Kara, Naturopathic Doctor

"I can't express in words the immensely transformative power of exploring, learning, and healing that can take place within such a loving, supportive community as this one. Erica skillfully led the co-creation of a safe, nurturing container, weaving a net of trust, vulnerability, and connection, inviting and empowering each of us to contribute beyond our perceived limits, encouraging and challenging us lovingly to show up wholly and to be witnessed deeply. A magical alchemy took place within our group."

Val, Facilitator, Mentor

"One of the many things that makes this organization unique is the way participants are deeply respected and trusted with our own healing while being given numerous tools, support, and avenues to approach that process. Also for me, there’s a substantial feeling of safety knowing that there is medical expertise, as well as a tremendous amount of experience and integrity in the leadership. It adds to the multidimensional feeling of being held in a truly safe & loving container."

Practicum Retreat Participant

"Wow, thank you! I never expected to have such a deep healing. Your expertise of psilocybin, along with your ability to create safety and comfort created the perfect trifecta for me to allow the medicine to do its thing."

Hilary Andrews, Naturopathic Physician

"I have never had a retreat where I was given full permission to express my true self. I was able to do the biggest healing work I have ever done due to feeling safe and held by Erica & the sacred container she created. "

Christine Marie, Plant Medicine Guide, Shamanic Healer

"I had never done a psychedelic in my life before this retreat and I was nervous. But from the moment I arrived I felt very cared for. My experience with the mushrooms was more than I could have even imagined. I felt a change that has carried through to my life after the retreat."

Yoly, Hospice and Palliative Care Physician

"My experience at RTH was so much more than I could’ve imagined. Erica put together a great team, and we were held with care, understanding, and love. The balance of structure and flow within the retreat allowed a beautiful and safe container to be created by all of us, with room for all of us. I felt accepted and loved, and experienced and witnessed immense healing. I left with gratitude, hope, and so many lessons."
