MPB Group Inc and Healing Escapes LLC are owned by Dr Brewer - an entrepreneur of Caribbean descent whose mission and vision has always been on empowerment and transformational change.

”I find this merging of psychedelics with mental health to be truly transformative and am interested in having conversations and meaningful positive relationships with those who value and appreciate the heritage and history - and who intentionally position themselves and their work towards honoring the ancestors who shared their wisdom and healing medicines. I find this work to be extremely satisfying as I witness its profound impact on those who are brave and open enough to do the work. I also am intentional about offering the training and medicine to local Jamaicans (out of respect of their country and culture) and have local Jamaicans on my team who are attuned, compassionate and grateful for the opportunity and in awe of the powerful healing qualities of the medicine”

Dr Brewer has been running MPB Group Inc (a nationally accredited and state licensed outpatient mental health clinic) with two offices located in the state of Maryland, USA for over 20 years. In addition to providing therapy and psychiatric services to over 1000 clients of varying ages, MPB Group Inc also serves as a training/practicum/internship site for graduate level students and newly licensed professionals seeking independent licensure.

In the past few years, Dr Brewer has been researching and exploring the plant-based psychedelic medicine space to curate programs aimed at holistic healing. This growing psychedelic program consists of licensed mental health professionals in conjunction with other allied professionals (both from the US and Jamaica) who recognize the value in therapeutic relationships and who are empathic and attuned to individuals’ needs.

Our experiential training program is unique in that it offers trainees the opportunity to ingest the medicine as well as serve as co-guides for experience. Our training program also serves as an official practicum placement for other training programs.
