Welcome to Ouroboros

I’m John Greeley, a certified life coach with over 15 years of experience supporting people through periods of transition, growth, and deep inner work utilizing consciousness altering compounds and techniques. My path into this work was shaped by a lifelong fascination with human consciousness and a personal belief that healing and transformation are not linear — they are cyclical, layered, and deeply individual. I created this practice because I saw a gap: people were having powerful experiences with psychedelics, cannabis, and other altered states — sometimes legally, sometimes underground — but often with little to no support before or after. These experiences can be profound, but without proper preparation or integration, their potential is often lost, or worse, becomes confusing or destabilizing. My role isn’t to facilitate or promote substance use — it’s to support people who are choosing these paths to do so with mindfulness, safety, and clarity. Whether someone is exploring cannabis for anxiety, preparing for a legal psychedelic retreat, navigating ketamine-assisted therapy, or working to change a difficult relationship with cannabis, I’m here to help create space for honest reflection, practical tools, and lasting insight. I bring a harm reduction lens to everything I do, meaning I honor your autonomy and meet you exactly where you are — without judgment, dogma, or an agenda. My work integrates elements of mindfulness, somatic awareness, behavioral psychology, and emotional resilience. I also have a particular interest in supporting clients through cannabis use disorder and conscious cannabis practices, as I’ve seen both the benefits and the complexities of this plant in real lives. ​ At my core, I believe that every altered state — whether expansive or difficult — has the potential to teach us something. My job is to help you make sense of it, integrate what matters, and move forward with intention. ​ My interest in consciousness has always been more than academic — it's been deeply personal. Over the years, that curiosity led me to explore a variety of altered states through plants, fungi, synthetic compounds, and traditional techniques. One particular experience profoundly reshaped the trajectory of my life. To say it “changed” me would be an understatement — it dismantled long-held beliefs, dissolved certain fears, and initiated a radical shift in how I relate to myself, others, and this ongoing journey we call life. What truly impacted me wasn’t just the experience itself — it was the processing of the experience and integrating the insights and awareness into my day to day life. Months of inner work, reflection, and reorientation taught me that insight means little without the time and tools to embody it. Years later I still reflect on that experience and continue to learn from it. That realization became the foundation for the work I do now: helping others prepare for, navigate, and integrate their own transformational moments with care, safety, and clarity.
