Psilocybin for Wellness — Safe, Licensed Journeys in Oregon
Licensed psilocybin journey with Cate Ritter at Prism Bend in Bend, Oregon
Psychedelics like psilocybin mushrooms can amplify and deepen your holistic wellness practice. In this article, you’ll learn about psilocybin, how it works in the brain and body, and why it might be the missing piece when you feel stuck despite your best efforts.
Cate Ritter Wellness & Prism Bend
At Cate Ritter Wellness, I help clients rewrite subconscious beliefs through PSYCH-K® energy psychology and restore energetic flow with Biofield Tuning® sound therapy.
Through my sister brand Prism Bend, I also facilitate fully legal psilocybin journeys. Preparation and integration happen over Zoom, while the journey takes place in person at a licensed service center in beautiful Bend, Oregon.
This blended approach—subconscious work, sound therapy, and psilocybin—creates an efficient and effective solution for people who feel stuck and seek deep, lasting change.
Psilocybin: A Legal Path to Transformational Healing
New to psilocybin—or even psychedelics in general? You’re not alone. I’m Cate Ritter, founder of Cate Ritter Wellness and Prism Bend in Bend, Oregon. For nearly 20 years, I’ve helped clients transform subconscious blocks and restore energetic flow. Since 2024, I’ve also been a Licensed Psilocybin Facilitator, guiding people through safe, legal psilocybin mushroom journeys.
Legal psilocybin in Oregon is now available through Measure 109’s Oregon Psilocybin Services program, which licenses facilitators and service centers. You must be at least age 21 and meet all eligibility requirements.
What Is Psilocybin—And Why Is It a Breakthrough for Wellness?
Psilocybin is the naturally occurring compound in certain “magic” mushrooms. Inside the body, it converts to psilocin, which briefly:
Opens neuroplasticity – the brain’s capacity to form new pathways
Quiets default-mode network – the mental autopilot behind rumination and harsh self-talk
Creates a reset window where insight can be woven into daily life with the right support
When paired with skilled facilitation, this “reset window” has the potential to help you:
Break unhelpful loops of anxiety, depression, criticism, or stuck emotions
Expand perspective so new possibilities appear
Reconnect body, heart, and mind for renewed self-compassion
Feel spiritually grounded and connected to something greater than yourself
If you’ve “tried everything” but something still feels blocked. That “something” often lives within the subconscious and inside the body’s energy field. Research shows psilocybin can reach those underlying issues. Psilocybin may have the potential to improve anxiety, treatment-resistant depression, addiction, chronic pain, grief, trauma, and existential distress. The effects of psilocybin can lead to enhanced creativity, greater emotional well-being, profound insights, and an improved quality of life.
In a Johns Hopkins study, two supported sessions cut depression scores by more than half, and the relief was still present one year later [1].
The U.S. FDA has granted psilocybin Breakthrough Therapy status because early results outperform standard antidepressants [2].
Follow-ups show lasting boosts in spiritual well-being and life satisfaction [3].
Transformative Tools: Psilocybin, PSYCH-K®, & Biofield Tuning®
These three transformative wellness tools—psilocybin, subconscious reprogramming, and sound therapy—help people who feel stuck move from looping thoughts and stagnant energy into clarity, connection, and flow. You can enjoy this trio of modalities and more during our wellness-focused Psilocybin Retreats.
Psilocybin & PSYCH-K — Rewire the Subconscious
During a psilocybin journey, the brain enters a brief state of heightened neuroplasticity—old neural pathways loosen while new ones form more easily. PSYCH-K® capitalizes on that window. By shifting subconscious beliefs, especially within a few days of your journey, we lock insights at a deeper level, helping to integrate insights into daily life.
Clients often report that pairing PSYCH-K® with psilocybin accelerates breakthroughs, reduces the likelihood of slipping back into old patterns, and gives them practical tools to navigate challenges after the journey.
Psilocybin & Biofield Tuning — Calm the Nervous System
A psilocybin journey often surfaces deep emotions and energetic shifts. Biofield Tuning®—which uses tuning forks—helps harmonize the nervous system, clear residual energetic “noise,” and anchor the insights gained during your journey.
Many clients describe Biofield Tuning® as the missing piece that settles the body after a powerful psychedelic experience, allowing them to integrate new awareness without overwhelm. When scheduled within a few days of a journey, the two modalities work in tandem: psilocybin opens the field for change, and Biofield Tuning® refines and stabilizes that change at the energetic level.
