About the author

Abby Houston

Abby is currently based in Brooklyn, New York, you can probably find her sautéeing garlic and butter in someone’s kitchen, doodling, scribbling, escaping to the forest, asking a lot of questions, and relishing those tiny moments of human connection.

Abby has always been fascinated by humans. The way we make meaning. The way we connect. The way we feel. The light and dark within each of us. The way we can’t experience true joy without knowing what the pits of grief feel like. There is nothing that warms her heart more than encountering a connection between beings, like an act of kindness between strangers or an intimate dinner party where the conversation and food deeply nourish your soul.

Abby is an experimenter, a traveler, a seeker – one who (for better or worse) learns by doing. From 2017 to 2023, she traveled to 19 countries, lived in five, and observed the way people live.

Throughout her travels she worked remotely on many different projects and teams. Early in her career she was an Executive Assistant for a public figure where she read strangers’ emails from around the world and learned just how deep universal truths run, feeling a lot like a real-life ‘Dear Abby.’ Afterward, she moved into marketing-centric roles focusing on human-forward, personable email marketing, content writing, and indie publishing projects.

In 2021, her career pivoted as she navigated mental health struggles and became incredibly passionate about education and harm reduction in the psychedelic-assisted therapy space, which led her to become a Certified Trauma-Informed Somatic Oriented Coach and Microdose Practitioner.

All of these experiences have allowed Abby to fall even more in love with humans – the messiness, complexities, universal truths, and longings.
