Meet Prema Sagara, LNMF

Instructor at Bodhi Academy

Prema is a clinical herbalist, clinical nutritionist, and Ayurvedic practitioner with traditional and clinical expertise in natural medicines. He studied with the late Dr. Robert Marshall, President of the International and American Associations of Clinical Nutrition, and Dr. Linda Forbes in the specialty of herbal and botanical medicines and has been teaching holistic wellness classes and seminars for more than a decade. His traditional approach to natural medicine is synthesized with the best of modern biochemical and scientific approaches. 


Prema has been immersed in the study and use of psychedelics for many years, including experiences with authentic Huachuma ceremony facilitated by a lineage holder of the Q’ero tribe in Peru. With part indigenous blood from his native Central American mother, he recognizes native cultural traditions as baseline approaches for healing and transformation with psychoactive plant medicines. 


Prema is a Licensed Psilocybin Facilitator in the State of Oregon and holds certification as a Psilocybin Guide from Bodhi Academy. He serves as a Primary Facilitator at Transcendence Retreat, a legal psilocybin services company, and provides professional care for individuals, couples, and groups in retreat settings. Prema is on the leadership team at Transcendence as the Clinical Director of Holistic Neurowellness. He is a faculty member at Bodhi Academy, teaching holistic wellness considerations for psilocybin services, traditional and indigenous practices with sacred medicine plants, and dosing/dose ranges for effective and beneficial psilocybin experiences.
