Nomiku
Founder and former CEO Y Combinator W15

Psychedelic minister, YC founder, mother, bestselling author, and Chair of the Board of Crisis Text Line. Your guide through preparation, ceremony, and integration.
I have traveled far and wide in business, motherhood, and the psychedelic realms.
Before my ministry, I founded and led Nomiku, a company that brought sous vide cooking into home kitchens. I know the intensity of building something, the responsibility of leading, and the questions that success and failure can leave unanswered.
Those experiences shape how I meet people: with curiosity, care, and respect for the life they have lived.
Today, I work with founders, creatives, leaders, and people seeking a deeper relationship with themselves and the systems around them.
Years spent building, teaching, leading, writing, and living through the full arc of entrepreneurship inform how I understand responsibility, ambition, uncertainty, and change.
