In this week's podcast Tim Cools speaks with Michelle __,
About Michelle Martin
Michelle is extremely passionate about changing the cultural perception of mental health space, and is an advocate for the healing power of psychedelics and plant medicine. She believes in creating change, and believes stigma is a large part of what has prevented an acceleration in the study of brain disease, with sensitivity.
She has been an advocate, educator, fundraiser, board member, and spokesperson for several non profits for close to 30 years, including The National Alliance for the Mentally ILL (NAMI). She serves on NAMI’s Family Panel where she speaks with recruits at The Chicago Police Academy, presenting effective/more productive ways to approach individuals who are suffering with mental illnesses/brain diseases.
She served with Psychedelic Experience, a non profit that houses a database of unbiased reviews of retreat centers and integration therapists around the world in efforts to increase safety and harm reduction. She is an ambassador with Heroic Hearts Project (non profit helping Veterans in the space), Board member of the Illinois Psychedelic Society, and serves with Woman on Psychedelics. She helps to connect researchers and investors with start-ups helping them to expand.
Michelle was active in medicinal cannabis education in 2010. She coordinated compassionate care training in Michigan engaging patients, caregivers, growers, horticulturists, and legal counsel to increase education and grower rights in communities statewide.
As someone who loves the art of connection, she continues to find ways to help others through her network. Connections can be a huge basis for creation, and with this, she has many wonderful stories of minds meeting and working together to help heal.
