67 - Jeanette Plowes: Ibogaine Changed the Coach

As a girl in Mexico City, Jeannette Plowes sensed things before they happened. Her mother decided to take her to a curandera instead of a psychiatrist. Years later, as a coach at Beond, she sat with ibogaine. She found that the medicine didn't give her more tools to coach, but changed the person holding them. On the show Talia and Jeannette talk about the inner work behind holding space. The conversation covers growing up sensitive,, how her own ibogaine journey reshaped the way she coaches, why a somatic experience calls for a somatic integration, and what birth work taught her about ibogaine as a rite of passage. She also walks through how she prepares guests, what people need in the first 48 hours, how to work with fear and control rather than fight them, and why integration happens best in community. Jeannette Plowes is an on-site coach and therapist at Beond, where she has worked with guests for several years. Born in Mexico City, she came to plant medicine through ayahuasca after a spiritual emergency, then trained extensively with Indigenous wisdom keepers, including Mazatec and Wixárika elders, and certified as a transpersonal therapist. She has also worked as a doula, and first heard of iboga from the shaman who led her first ayahuasca ceremony, long before ibogaine became her work.
