I’m Mikaela de la Myco —

 

a mother, educator, folk herbalist, community organizer, facilitator and researcher based in occupied Kumeyaay & Luiseno territory, also known as San Diego, CA. For over ten years, I’ve supported people and organizations with services, products and education.

​

My areas of focus include sacred earth medicine (herbalism and psychedelics), sex education (polyamory and pleasure as liberation), full-spectrum womb care (including pregnancy release and fertility awareness), trauma-informed advocacy (addressing harm in the wellness community) and psychedelics for families.

​

As the founder of mushWOMB and Mama de la Myco, I help create education, services and experiences that center femmes, families, queer folks and communities of color in the sacred earth medicine and full spectrum womb care space.

​

I help facilitate ceremonies, retreats, movements and support networks and use my voice to advocate for trauma-informed care and earth-centered practices, filling in much needed educational and care gaps in the holistic health community. This work is nourished by my Southern Italian, Mexica and Afro Caribbean heritages.

​

With the help of many, I've assisted in developing and publishing Mothers of the Mushroom, a groundbreaking citizen science initiative highlighting psilocybin use in mothers and birthing people.  

 

Insights accumulated over the last decade have been featured in a number of news reports, magazines, documentaries, podcasts, resource lists, courses and books like the recently published, “Microdosing for Health, Healing and Enhanced Performance,” by Dr. James Fadiman and Jordan Gruber, and the award winning book “the Psilocybin Handbook for Women,” by medical and scientific journalist Jennifer Chesak.

​

I've had the pleasure of collaborating as an educator and activist with numerous companies, organizations, families and individuals and have taken up responsibilities as a maternal caretaker in the sacred earth medicine community.

​

Whether in one-on-one sessions, workshops, writing, or ceremony, I remain committed to being an instrument of change in the struggle to rematriate entheogens.
