Ladybird Morgan

“Many times with illness it's so medicalized you lose your voice... this allows it to bring it back into real time—the grief, the fear, all of it, and also sometimes the unexpected joys."

Ladybird Morgan is a registered nurse, social worker, and palliative care practitioner with over 20 years of experience supporting individuals through life’s transitions.

An end-of-life specialist, Ladybird serves as a counselor and educator with Mettle Health, a Learning Facilitator for the Synthesis Psychedelic Practitioner Training Program, and a private biodynamic craniosacral practitioner. She guides individuals exploring healing through entheogens and co-founded The Humane Prison Hospice Project. Her background includes contributions to Doctors Without Borders, The Zen Hospice Project, and Insight Out’s Guiding Rage Into Power. Additionally, she was a co-investigator for a University of Washington study on psilocybin therapy for clinicians during the COVID-19 pandemic. Currently residing in Maui, Ladybird’s work is deeply shaped by her dedication to contemplative practices and inner freedom
