Scott Burd | Licensed Psilocybin Facilitator in Colorado.
Somatic, trauma-informed psilocybin facilitation grounded in presence, safety, and integration.
I'm Scott Burd — a licensed psilocybin facilitator and structural integration practitioner with over 15 years of experience in body-based healing work.
My path into this work was shaped by my own experiences with transformation — through fatherhood, injury, and a deep return to the wisdom of the body. That journey is what brought me here, and it informs everything about how I show up for clients.
I work one-on-one with clients at licensed healing centers in Boulder and Denver, and offer virtual preparation and integration for those traveling from out of state.
Who This Work Is For
Most people who find their way here aren't in crisis. They're functioning — sometimes quite well — but carrying something that hasn't had space to move. A transition they haven't fully processed. Grief sitting just below the surface. A quiet sense that the life they've built no longer fits who they're becoming.
If that resonates, you're in the right place.
A Journey From Disconnection to Embodiment
Healing isn’t something I offer, it’s something I’ve lived.
The Accident That Changed Everything
A mountain biking accident left me with crushed vertebrae, broken ribs, a fractured clavicle. Recovery brought me to Rolfing Structural Integration — and what happened there surprised me. I didn't just heal. I woke up. For the first time, I understood that the body isn't just the vehicle. It's the site.
What changed wasn't just physical. It was the way I moved through the world — less armored, more present. Years of holding it together, of performing competence and pushing through, had left deposits in my body that no amount of talk therapy had touched. Rolfing reached them. That experience gave me something I hadn't expected: I stopped being a stranger to myself.
Meeting the Medicine
That awakening eventually led me to psilocybin. Not as an escape — as a continuation. A deeper layer of the same return. I brought 15 years of somatic work into this new container, received one of the first facilitator licenses issued in Colorado, and haven't looked back.
I know what it's like to be outwardly functional and inwardly lost. I know what it feels like when the body finally speaks — and what becomes possible when you learn to listen.
That's the work I'm here to do with you.
“Preparation and Integration are not peripheral to this work. They are the work.”
My Approach
I don't direct the experience. My role is to be present with you — tracking what your body is communicating, holding steady when the terrain gets unfamiliar, and trusting your process more than any agenda I might bring into the room.
This work is body-centered by design. After 15 years in somatic practice, I've learned that insight alone doesn't create change — the body has to be part of it. What surfaces during a session needs somewhere to land. That's what I'm here to support. I'm particularly drawn to working with people who feel functional on the outside but know something essential is missing — those navigating transitions, carrying grief they haven't had space to feel, or simply ready to come home to themselves.
Psilocybin is a powerful catalyst. But the medicine is only the beginning. The real transformation happens in how you integrate what emerged — in the weeks and conversations that follow. Preparation and Integration aren't peripheral to this work. They are the work.

What It's Like to Work Together
People sometimes come in braced — expecting to be analyzed, directed, or pushed toward a particular insight. That's not how this works. My role is to stay present with you, not ahead of you. I'm tracking what your body is communicating, holding the space steady, and trusting that your process knows where it needs to go.
You don't have to perform insight. You don't have to arrive anywhere in particular. You just have to show up.
