Florian Birkmayer, MD

Florian Birkmayer, MD is a Wounded Healer and former holistic psychiatrist who has pioneered the use of aromas, in psychedelic therapy and by themselves, to help people get out of habitual patterns and live their personal myth.
After a career in mainstream academic psychiatry and addiction treatment, he became frustrated by the overemphasis on pharmaceuticals to cover up symptoms. He received his bachelor’s degree in molecular
biology at Princeton University, where he learned to question assumptions and discover the hidden gifts the shadow. He received his medical doctorate from Columbia University, which taught him how to think critically about ‘business-as-usual’ medicine.
