Rosie Bandali (she/her)
Since becoming a Registered Nurse in 2008, Rosie has spent the last 15 years working primarily in Women’s Health, and Mental Health and Addictions. Years of working in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside has brought her face-to-face with the consequences of disconnection and trauma which have contributed to the opioid crisis. She’s passionate for the potential psychedelics offer as a tool to help us bring into consciousness unprocessed issues, and reconnect to ourselves, each other, and the world around us. Similar to her role as a Labour and Delivery Nurse in creating a safe container for women to access their innate ability to give birth, she sees her role at Qi as supporting clients to connect to their intuitive ability to move towards wholeness and wellbeing. She endeavours to bring an openness, curiosity, warmth and compassion to her work. She’s honoured to be working with the inspiring members of the Psychedelic Therapy Team at Qi.
