As a native New Yorker, Stuart’s career in the arts took a turn when he first experienced ceremonial plant medicine. Plant medicine was the first step in transforming his life from the despair of deep addiction to ultimately thriving in his fulfilled, harmonious life with his loving partner.

After getting clean and leaving NYC, Stuart spent 13 years exploring the transformational and esoteric healing arts, traveling the world, working with different plant medicine lineages – time on the Red Road (Native American Tradition), in Peru with the Shipibo and with the Columbian Tiatas. He served plant medicine for years helping people heal and awaken.

Now Stuart is a Transformational Guide + Spiritual Teacher sharing his lifelong wisdom with students and clients – teaching the Alchemy of Prayer, helping people transcend addiction and offering spiritual and integration guidance in New York and around the world. He continues to study and deepen his wisdom through prayer, meditation and devotional practice.
