Welcome to the Psychedelic Conversations Podcast!

In this episode, we speak with Arianna Macartney, a naturopathic doctor and psychedelic somatic therapist whose work bridges medicine, sacred intimacy, and intuitive healing. Together, we explore Arianna’s personal journey through addiction, sobriety, and medical school, and how microdosing, homeopathy, and harm reduction became powerful tools in her healing path. We discuss the principle of “like cures like,” the body’s innate healing intelligence, and how small, intentional interventions can support long-term optimization rather than quick fixes. Arianna also shares reflections on ancestral wisdom, feminine knowing, and the importance of art, storytelling, and humility in the evolving psychedelic field. This conversation invites listeners to rethink healing, sobriety, and embodiment through a holistic, compassionate, and deeply human lens.
