— presence, not proximity, is what matters most.
If you’ve found your way here, something in you is ready.
Ready to shed old stories, habits, and wounds.
Ready to reconnect with stillness, clarity, and the deep current of your own being.
Ready to walk the path of transformation with guidance, ceremony, and care.
I offer a fusion of therapeutic, ceremonial, and contemplative tools - shaped by decades of experience as a Zen priest, hypnotherapist, and animist healer.
Together, we’ll work with methods including Hypnotherapy, Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), Ancestral Healing, Animist Journeywork, Psychedelic Integration*, and Zen-based awareness practice.
Whether you’re here for healing, spiritual direction, ceremony, or just a place to rest your busy mind — I meet you where you are, and walk with you from there.
You don’t have to do it alone.
You’re not broken. You’re becoming.

Let’s begin the journey.

Trancework with Eshu
Subconscious healing, transformative insight, and deep personal change through Hypnotherapy, NLP, Animist Journeywork, Ancestral Healing, and Psychedelic Integration.
Available online, worldwide.
Zen Support & Mentorship
Rooted in the Rinzai tradition and offered in collaboration with Zenwest, these offerings support sincere students of Zen through structured practice, personal guidance, and time-honoured forms — adapted for the online space.
Orientation Support
For newcomers to Zen, this four-session support package offers grounding in zazen, chanting, forms, and relational practice. It’s designed to complement Zenwest’s free online Orientation to Zen, providing a supportive space to integrate the teachings, ask questions, and begin to embody the practice. Ideal for those just entering a sangha — or returning after time away.
Zen Mentorship & Training
A dedicated path for those walking the Zen path with commitment and sincerity. This ongoing mentorship includes one-on-one guidance, structured teachings, and — where appropriate — koan study and Dharma Interview. Participants must be active members of a Zen sangha. If you already have a teacher, their awareness and approval are required before entering into this container.
Spiritual Companionship & Animist Mentorship
For those walking a path of reconnection — with self, land, ancestors, and the unseen.
This offering is rooted in animist presence, spiritual accompaniment, and deep listening. Together, we honour what is emerging in your life, weaving in trancework, ritual, ancestral healing, dreamwork, and intuitive support as needed.
This is not therapy or direction. It’s a co-held, sacred space to walk with what’s real.

about
Who we are, and what we do
at Monarch Trancework.
“Why do I do what I do, in the way that I do it? With what I have learned and experienced in my life, what do I believe?”
Part 2 - Psychedelic medicines are powerful allies in transformation, and much like anything powerful, need to be approached and handled with attention and care. Preventing harm in psychedelic use is very important to me.
I suggest that if you are considering engaging with psychedelic medicines, that you deeply consider the following ideas. This list is not meant to be fixed or rigid - as there are always risks with any kind of medicine, therapy, or other healing modality, each person must discern the level of risk they find acceptable. This list is intended to bring as many of the potential variables as possible into your awareness, so that you can make informed choices.
After the experience of legally sanctioned psychedelic therapy, many participants are opting to continue their psychedelic journey in the underground. How can you reduce the risk of harm on your journey?
The words and spirit that I bring to share today are an offering.
And so, I humbly make this offering for my Ancestors….
Some of my clients and website visitors have noticed recent changes to my website offerings at Monarch Trancework.
One in particular that I’m being asked about is what I’ve called “Ancestral Animism”. I want to clarify what I mean by Ancestral Animism, and what it entails in terms of sessions with me through Monarch Trancework.
We live in a pharmaceutical culture where we are conditioned into believing that the medicine IS the cure. When we take this mindset into the psychedelic world, it can really cause trouble. I hear on a regular basis about people who have been struggling with depression, or anxiety, or any number of issues who have heard that "psychedelics can help".
Nothing burns my biscuits more than when a new client comes for a consultation and I am informed that they have been told by a previous therapist/counsellor/practitioner that they are “resistant”, or “beyond help”, or that they “don’t really want to get better”.
If you have gone for help to a so called “professional” and they have said any variation of this to you, I want you to know this… you are not the problem. You are not broken. Their failure to help you is their failure - not yours.
