"The foundation for any profound experience with medicine is surrender. And in order to surrender fully requires a deep sense of trust - in your facilitator and your surroundings. My recent experience with Jill Ryan was incredible. She is an expert space holder and , in my journey with Jill, I felt completely safe to let go, to venture deeper and to access and release deep layers of emotion and pain that I was holding on to. She expertly guided me through, at times, a difficult and painful experience with gentle support and encouragement which allowed me to uncover the wisdom and insight locked in my past. What I gained was profound perspective, deep healing and a beautiful release of old stories which were no longer serving me. Through each step of the journey I felt fully supported and free to express the full breadth of my experience without reservation or judgement - a testament to the deep trust I felt with Jill. Her intuitive and nurturing touch also allowed stuck energy in my physical body to move which allowed for additional cathartic release. I cannot recommend Jill highly enough. She is beautiful human being with the purest of intention. She is real, truthful and keenly attuned to the needs of each individual in each moment. I have the utmost respect for her and the incredible work she is doing in the world. If the opportunity arises, do not miss the chance to work with this brave and loving soul."

"I recently returned from a psilocybin medicine retreat in Costa Rica facilitated by Jill Ryan and it was one of the most meaningful experiences of my life. Jill is truly exceptional. She brings a rare combination of deep knowledge, patience, humor, and genuine compassion to her work. From the moment the retreat began, I felt safe, supported, and deeply respected in my own personal journey. Her ability to hold space with both professionalism and warmth allowed everyone to relax, open up, and trust the process. The experience itself was powerful and transformative. I came away feeling lighter and more relaxed than I ever have before. My mind feels clearer, my pace of life has slowed in the most beautiful way, and I’m finding myself moving closer to living my truth and embracing a fuller, more authentic life. Beyond the medicine work, the retreat environment in Costa Rica was incredible. Surrounded by nature, meaningful conversations, and moments of laughter and connection, the entire experience felt intentional and healing. One of the most unexpected gifts was the men and women I met along the way. I made lifelong friends at this retreat who I now truly consider family. If you are considering this kind of work and want to do it in a safe, thoughtful, and expertly guided environment, I cannot recommend Jill highly enough. She is a bright light and a gifted facilitator who truly cares about the people she works with. I am deeply grateful for the experience and the growth it has sparked in my life."

"My experience with Jill and Receive Within was life-changing in a way that’s difficult to put into words. I arrived not fully knowing what to expect, but from the very beginning I felt safe—like I could let my guard down. That alone was powerful. There was such a deep sense of care and intention in everything, and for the first time in a long time, maybe ever, I felt genuinely held and supported. The setting was perfect, and being surrounded by nature made it easy to slow down and really feel everything I had been pushing down and holding onto. It created space for something real to happen. One thing I had not expected were the connections we made. I met some of the most open, kind, and genuine people, and there was this unspoken (and spoken) understanding between all of us. It felt authentic, and that’s something I’ll carry with me. Jill is truly special. Her guidance is gentle and intuitive yet powerful, and you can feel how much she genuinely cares. I never once felt uncomfortable or unsure—only supported. And even after the retreat, that care didn’t stop. Her continued presence is so meaningful. I left feeling different—lighter, more connected to myself, and honestly just grateful. This experience opened something in me that I didn’t even realize needed to be opened. I can’t recommend Jill and Receive Within enough for anyone who’s ready to go deeper and experience something truly transformative and healing."

"There literally aren’t adequate words to describe the experience that Jill creates in her retreats. It’s a partnership that requires a willingness and openness from the journey taker, but I am convinced it would not be nearly as potent without the careful curation that Jill pours into the container that will hold us for five days. A safer space I have never known. Jill’s personal guidance began weeks before the actual retreat and continues to this day as the integration is ongoing. Jill absolutely knows what she is doing and her expertise in plant medicines is evident in how she prepares you for what might happen during the journey as well as once we are back in our daily lives. I am forever changed because of Jill and have never been more confident in my soul’s life journey. What a gift."

"Words cannot express how incredibly grateful I am to be on this journey of a lifetime with the help of Jill. The power and magic of the mushrooms and the private space Jill was able to open gave me the opportunity to really answer every question in my life. I was able to recognize myself, the origin of myself and everything that surrounds me. The energy and the information fields that make everything come into being and pass away again and again. To show the stored emotions that have settled in my life and to look at them and let them go. It was overwhelming to experience which emotional fields are linked to my dear wife, my children and the people who have accompanied me up to this point. To realize what is really important, to understand what I am, what this world is and how connected I can be to the people who will always be a part of me is beautiful. There is nothing more beautiful than seeing the world, nature and being with yourself like a newborn child. I wish everyone a similar experience to bring humanity to another level. Thank you dear Jill!"

"I came to Jill with extensive psychedelic experience, so I assumed that working with her would be very similar to past journeys. I could not have been more wrong, as Jill exceeded my expectations in all aspects of the psychedelic process, from pre-journey intake to post-journey integration. Jill uniquely combines professionalism and expertise with deep love and compassion, creating the perfect container for doing this type of work . She also seamlessly integrates breathwork, bodywork, and other modalities, which serve to amplify the healing effect of the medicines and ensure maximum impact. Because of Jill’s unique capabilities and huge heart, I was able to embark on one of the most profound journeys of my life, a truly life-altering experience that remains with me today. I can vociferously recommend Jill without the slightest reservation–she is a treasure of a human and a true midwife of deep personal transformation. Thank you, Jill!"

"I took my first therapeutic mushroom journey with Jill, and with her guidance it was one of the most informative (and intense) experiences I’ve ever had. I learned so much about myself that I now have a deep understanding of where many of my “issues” come from (I have ADHD which has caused problematic thinking and behaviors my whole life - I’m in my 60’s so I guess it’s never too late). Of course being able to put my learning to good use is up to me. Jill is insightful, kind, patient, generous, funny, and very knowledgable. I will definitely be journeying with her again. Side note: I tend toward skepticism and am not a huge believer in many “wellness” sector practices as cure-alls but I’m absolutely convinced that mushrooms are a godsend if one is prepared to learn from them."

"After a deep and challenging psilocybin journey in January, I decided I sought a one-to-one journey with a trusted guide to explore the trauma that surfaced. I met Jill through her breathwork class and I was immediately drawn to her. Her attentiveness and exquisite guiding with words that seemed to speak directly to me gave me reassurance that she would be a safe and compassionate space holder for the journey I was seeking to take. Jill's guidance was exceptional, from initial discussion to decide if we would work together, all pre-ceremony preparation including what to expect for the day and making sure that I have good nourishing food for afterwards, the deep discussions about the heart of my enquiry and intention for the ceremony, and crucially the continuing support she has provided post ceremony. I could not have wished for more care and more resonance than what I experienced with Jill. She has such a depth of experience and knowledge that her support has been invaluable to my personal process and healing. The lead up to the day felt so held that I had barely any apprehension about it - I felt ready and safe. I was able to journey deeply, and face into both light and dark aspects of my being while knowing I was fully held and supported. The journey one takes with psychedelics is one thing, the right level of work and intention setting to prepare you for it. But the care immediately afterwards and for the weeks following are so crucial to the effectiveness of the work and the integration of that experience in one’s life to be able to heal and create a more fulfilling happy life for oneself! I will forever remain in deep gratitude to Jill for her service to me and my journey and remain connected to her and continue to share as the ripples of our work continue to benefit my life."

"There are very few people I can imagine feeling vulnerable enough with to do a journey with psilocybin, and Jill is one of them. Most importantly, I felt a deep sense of non-judgment by her. Jill's calm presense energetically carried me through 8 hours of intense healing, and I know I would not have been able to go that deep in a group setting. With Jill's unobtrustive and wise presense, I felt safe enough to dig in. From fresh coconut water to leaving me pencils and mandalas to color with after she left, Jill anticipated my every need before, during and after. Jill has done the work herself and is a living embodiment of what the "other side" can look like - a life of gratidude and loving kindness."

"As a person who has not had experiences with psychedelic therapy, I was a bit nervous to move to a plant based treatment. However, Jill took the time to review my needs, desired outcome and my individual background to ensure alignment and therapeutic recommendation. Jill has an unbelievable ability to hold space offer compassion, and bring a sense of realism and accessibility to the experience. I felt well prepared leading into the journey during the journey and ongoing post journey. The profound sense of being back in my body and having a regulated nervous system after our time shared was well worth this experience. If you are looking to take your healing to a deeper level with a practitioner that is certified, knowledgeable and walks the talk with her authenticity I highly recommend Jill."

"When I first met Jill, I met her through receiving body work. At the time I had alot of flare ups. I thought it was my MS symptoms coming to attack me. I expressed this and I received the best body care with Jill. She is very intuitive with her hands. After about a year or so of trying to kick bad habits and losing my best friend, my sweet dog, I was a mess emotionally, spiritually, and physically. In search of healing, a friend brought me to breath work. Jill was there, ready to receive me with open arms after a lot of crying and a lot of joy. I think what most resonated with me is her ability to make me feel grounded to connect with my soul, to feel safe, understood and cared for. She’s down to earth, truthful, funny and can make any concept relatable and practical. I'm well on my breath work journey. I've done about 6 sessions, some with medicine, with Jill. I have been able to connect with myself for the 1st time in a long time. I've been able to kick my bad habits and put myself first with boundaries and love. I’m grateful for all that Jill has shown and offered me. 💛I absolutely love Jill. The souls connect for a reason ✨️ "

" I had such a positive and life changing experience with Jill. She went above and beyond putting my needs ahead of hers during my time with her. She took the time to mentally prepare me, answer all the questions I had, and gave me some insight of what to expect. During the ceremonies her guidance was calm, safe and respectful. She was there to help me process events in my own space and view them in a different lens without being too intrusive. The post ceremony integration support has been amazing still keeping in contact months later. I am forever grateful for her, I know that I have made a friend for life with her."

"My psilocybin ceremony with Jill was one of the most powerful and transformative experiences of my life. She held the space with so much intention, safety, and expertise that I felt fully supported to surrender to the journey, release deep grief from a past relationship, and find love for myself again. Knowing she was there in full presence allowed me to face whatever emotions arose with trust and courage. Jill was incredibly attuned to what I needed both during the ceremony and in the integration afterward. Since the experience, I feel more connected to myself and the world than ever before. My confidence has returned, and the weight of that relationship grief no longer follows me in my daily life. Jill truly helped me come home to myself. It’s clear how seriously she approaches each ceremony and how much care she puts into showing up as a grounded, present guide. I’m deeply grateful she’s been part of my healing journey and can’t recommend her enough. Her gift is something truly special."
