Can you make a living as an integration coach?

We went looking for those answers and compiled a comprehensive report on what we found. Here's the short version. If you want to review the full report, click here.

‍

What do integration coaches charge?

Across 32 integration coaches who publish their rates, the median is $175 a session. Coaches in nearby specialties, grief and life transitions, publish a median close to $140 an hour.

‍

A typical integration engagement runs about six sessions. At the median, one client brings in roughly $1,050.

‍

Why hourly pricing is not the best way

Take $50,000 a year as a reference point rather than a target. Priced by the hour, that income takes about 48 clients. That is four new people a month, every month, with no gaps. At that pace, most of the work becomes finding the next client rather than coaching the one in front of you.

‍

A more effective pricing structure approach

Coaches across the field are structuring their offers as packages instead. Published three-month packages run $1,500 to $3,000. In the middle of that range, the same $50,000 example takes about 22 clients in a year. Fewer than half the people, for the same income.

‍

The package fits the client better too. Integration rarely resolves in a single hour, and three months gives the work room to follow its own arc.

‍

Are there enough clients?

In looking at the 2025 National Survey on Drug Use and Health, we discovered that on average, about 683 people in a town of about 25,000 would have used a psychedelic in the past year. That is one category of life-changing experience.

‍

Add the people who turned 65, became parents, got married, or went through a divorce, and the pool grows well past what one practice could hold.

‍

Meanwhile, a peer-reviewed survey counted 298 psychedelic retreat organizations operating across 440 sites, close to two thirds of them outside the United States. People travel for the experience and come home to no aftercare. And the largest public directory that breaks out the category lists 218 integration practitioners for the entire country.

‍

So neither the client pool nor the competition is the constraint. The more important question is how those clients will find you, and that is a skill you can learn.

The full numbers, if you want them

We put everything we found into one report. It shows:

• every rate on record, with its source linked
• the client math at three income levels, so you can run your own numbers
• the startup costs to plan for in year one, including one insurance finding worth knowing before you enroll anywhere
• what we do if a student finishes our certification without a single paying client
