Randall, MD FCCP
Director, Medical & Plant Medicine Facilitator, Awakening Leadership Series | Mastery: Level 2
For over 30 years, Randall was a practicing physician who spent most of his career as an Intensive Care Specialist, working with the sickest of the sick. It was early in his career when it became painfully apparent to Randall that Western medicine didn’t have nearly as many answers as he was initially led to believe. In fact, the more time he spent at patients’ bedsides, the more he realized just how few answers were known within the Western medical system.
What truly fascinated Randall were the numerous “impossible” events he witnessed as a physician. He saw patients who survived situations that should have been 100% fatal and patients who did not survive situations that, on the surface, should have been imminently survivable. Randall also sadly watched more than one patient literally will themselves to die. These events, and much more, led Randall to question almost everything he thought he knew about disease and healing. Ultimately, this questioning led him to explore, study, and work with natural psychedelics.
Randall brings to Reunion over 20 years of experience with natural psychedelics, personally and professionally. The past 10 of those years have been spent working primarily with Ayahuasca. He has been incredibly fortunate to have had opportunities to study under several Ayahuasceros and to have had a chance to complete an intensive apprenticeship working closely with Ayahuasca and several other plant medicines to deepen his relationship with them.
Randall spent years studying medicine before he considered himself to be a doctor. In his eyes, studying and learning to work with plant medicines requires the same dedication, is equally rigorous, and, in many ways, more of a challenge. He has a tremendous respect for the wisdom and true healing gained through working with plant medicines. Randall believes working with plant medicines demands the same dedication to constant learning and maintaining the right relationship with the medicine. Other than his role as Medical Director at Reunion, he no longer practices Western medicine. All his time and energy are now dedicated to working with, studying, and sharing the wisdom and healing available through plant medicines.
