The Story
Ray, a holistic health practitioner, experienced a near-death event during a suicide attempt with heavy drugs in her youth. She had tried to end her life twice before. During this instance, Ray left her body and saw herself lying on the bed. She realized she was dying and felt it was real. She decided she was not ready and not done with life, even though she had felt completely done moments before. Her brother then slammed the door, startling her back into her body. She ended up in the hospital that day. After this, Ray pursued sobriety with the help of plant medicines like Ibogaine and developed a deeper spiritual awareness. She embraced her soul mission, found peace through somatic releases, and built a stronger connection to nature and community, becoming a peer advocate.
