For Individuals

If you are a high-functioning adult carrying unresolved trauma, chronic stress, or early attachment wounds, this work is designed for you.

We focus on:

• Somatic trauma integration
• Mindfulness-based trauma recovery
• Emotional regulation
• Inner child and parts-based healing
• Psychedelic preparation and integration support

The goal is not insight alone. The goal is integration.

For Organizations

For leaders and teams, we offer trauma-informed leadership training and mindfulness-based resilience programs designed to improve clarity, emotional regulation, and sustainable performance.

The emphasis is presence, ethical leadership, and nervous system literacy in high-demand environments.

A Different Definition of Success

Success without regulation leads to burnout.
Achievement without integration leads to fragmentation.

This work restores alignment between body, mind, and purpose.

You do not need more productivity strategies.
You need embodied awareness.

Keith W. Fiveson is a contemplative therapist, military veteran, mindfulness teacher, and trauma-informed coach with more than 30 years of experience in executive consulting, leadership development, and therapeutic practices.

His Fortune 500 career exposed him firsthand to chronic stress, burnout, and the limits of performance-only success. That experience led him to study yoga, meditation, and mindfulness as practical tools for nervous system regulation, emotional resilience, and sustained clarity. He became a certified yoga teacher in 1994 and has taught mindfulness-based practices for three decades.

Keith is also a two-time cancer survivor. He credits disciplined mindfulness practice, somatic awareness, and a balanced lifestyle with supporting his recovery and long-term health. Later in life, open-heart surgery further deepened his understanding of trauma held in the body and the need for integration, not just insight.

Return of the Exiled Child reflects this lived experience. The work integrates mindfulness, inner child healing, and parts-based trauma recovery into a grounded, practical framework. It is written for adults seeking healing from trauma, emotional neglect, and long-standing patterns shaped by survival.

Keith’s work focuses on presence, choice, and repair. Not performance. Not bypassing. Real integration, practiced in daily life.

Watch this interview with Veterans and Doctors in the field who have worked with Veterans using Ketamine Assisted Therapy.

I began my professional life in global communications and corporate consulting. Over time, my work moved toward what had always mattered most, trauma, recovery, and human integration.

For more than thirty years, I have worked at the intersection of mindfulness, somatic regulation, narrative healing, and behavioral health. My practice integrates trauma-informed contemplative therapy, breathwork, plant and psychedelic medicine preparation and integration, and psycholytic ketamine support where legally appropriate.

In 2023, I formally expanded my work in Psychedelic Assisted Therapy through training with IPI and MAPS-informed programs. These approaches are not about intensity. They are about readiness, environment, regulation, and integration. Insight without integration does not heal.

I am a U.S. Army veteran and remain committed to supporting fellow veterans navigating PTSD, moral injury, and identity transition. Trauma can be explicit or implicit. Both shape the nervous system. Both deserve care.

I have been an ordained Interfaith Minister since 2003. My work is grounded in contemplative practice, yet clinically informed. I believe healing requires coherence between body, story, and consciousness.

My own life has included early family trauma, two cancer diagnoses, and open heart surgery. These experiences did not make me an expert. They made me accountable to the work. They required integration, not performance.

The framework behind my work is outlined in The Mindfulness Experience and further developed in Return of the Exiled Child. These writings reflect lived practice, not theory alone.

I currently serve as a Healthcare Ambassador for the Heroic Hearts Project and support initiatives exploring ethical psychedelic care at end of life.

The Mindfulness Experience (MEx) podcast 

Every two weeks, we delve into the world of Mindfulness Experience (MEx) concepts and explore their application in our daily lives. We comprehensively examine mindful experiences and their impact on neurology, physiology, biology, psychology, philosophy, and mythology. Our exploration of mindfulness considers how it affects the body, mind, spirit, food, sleep, environment, and relationships in a holistic bid to create a more balanced and fulfilling life. The areas we will strongly focus on include trauma, addiction, entheogens, empathogenic, and psychedelics. We recognize the powerful impact of these substances on individuals and society as a whole. By implementing mindfulness, we can better approach these experiences, heal from trauma, and battle addiction. Entering into empathic and psychedelic states through substances such as psilocybin can help to facilitate a transformational experience, leading to greater self-awareness and a more profound understanding of ourselves and the world around us.
