Merves path into this field began not through a single pivotal moment, but through sustained proximity — years spent in mentorship relationships with experienced facilitators, observing and learning from practice before assuming responsibility for it. This grounding informs how she works: carefully, relationally, and with attention to what each individual brings into the room.

Her academic foundation is in Business Psychology, a lens that continues to shape how she understands identity, motivation, and the systems people move through. She holds training in psychedelic integration, breathwork facilitation, and energetic therapy. In 2024, she completed the trauma-informed 5-MeO-DMT facilitator training at F.I.V.E. (5-MeO-DMT Information and Vital Education), an educational organization dedicated to the safe, ethical, and responsible facilitation of 5-MeO-DMT.

Over years of dedicated study, she has traveled across more than twenty countries to engage with 5-MeO-DMT and other entheogenic practices in depth, exploring indigenous and traditional ceremonial contexts alongside contemporary scientific and therapeutic approaches. Working across cultures and languages, she offers sessions in German, English, Turkish, and Spanish.

What continues to draw her to this field is a deep curiosity about the ways profound experiences can reshape our relationship to identity, meaning, and the experience of being human.

Today, facilitation forms the core of her professional practice. She works across the full arc of the psychedelic experience: preparation and screening, facilitation in private and group retreat settings, and integration support for experiences ranging from subtle and meaningful to deeply challenging and transformative. She also offers consultation for therapists, researchers, facilitators, and other professionals working in related fields.

Her work is grounded in the conviction that these experiences deserve — and require — serious, informed, and ethically reflective accompaniment
