Summary
Brian Kleindienst is a certified psychedelic integration coach and his life's mission is to help others through personalized experiences in opening new doors of self for personal healing, self-optimization, and transformation.
He is a devoted student to mindfulness who guides his clients in incorporating, breathe work, movement, surf therapy, meditation, leadership/facilitator development, holistic health, immersion into psychotherapy, and plant medicines.
He currently works in various capacities in the health and wellness space and is also the Director of Business Development for Firefly Immersive a behavioral health and wellness technology company optimizing virtual reality for healing.
Firefly Immersive has created a platform called The Sanctuary, which immerses patient/clients in beautiful settings that is highly conducive to positive therapeutic experiences. Our evidenced-based digital therapeutics allows for more focused, distraction-free experiences to firmly establish a beneficial mindset that can drastically improve therapeutic outcomes. The Sanctuary is adaptable to specific patient populations (first responders and VETS) with unique care journeys from SUD, PTSD, Anxiety, Suicide Intervention, Sleep, and of course Whole Health. When in the headset, the user is transported into worlds where one can participate in experiential practices such as deep breathing exercises, cognitive activities and mindfulness practices.
Brian works in southern California and collaborates with a team of psychotherapists, nurse practitioners, and neurotherapists to help those who are suffering from behavioral or emotional distress in his local community. He is also extremely passionate about his work as an integration coach for Heroic Hearts Project a non profit that connects veterans to psychedelic therapy options including ayahuasca, psilocybin and ketamine to heal mind and body.
