Shelly is a Master’s of Clinical Psychology candidate and holds a Bachelor’s of Science in Psychology and Sociology from the University of the West Indies, Cave Hill. She left her home country, Belize, in 2016 to pursue further education and training with the goal of going back home to help develop the mental health system. As a result, she continuously seeks out opportunities to learn and train in contemporary healing modalities.

Shelly joined the MycoMeditations team in 2022 as a facilitator, and her calm and compassionate nature has been an invaluable addition to the team ever since. While working with psilocybin mushrooms has allowed her to witness considerable transformations in guests’ long-held patterns of thinking and being. Shelly is honored to be working with psychedelic mushrooms and aims to work with other plant medicines in the near future.

Shelly also works as a therapist in Kingston, Jamaica and treats clients who are experiencing anxiety, depression, suicidal behaviors, and childhood trauma. Shelly works from a collaborative, strengths-based approach and brings in her humor and authenticity in the therapy process.

Shelly enjoys practicing yoga, running, cooking Spanish food, and exploring the island.
