I am a Marriage and Family Therapist (CA MFC #34901), a consultant, and the author of Peer Consultation Groups and Ethical Awareness Tools for Psychedelic Practitioners and The Ethics of Caring: Finding Right Relationship with Clients. I founded InnerEthics®, a self-reflective compassionate approach to ethical relationships, after thinking, writing, and teaching ethics for almost three decades.
In ordinary coaching or therapy, it is relatively easy to remember ethical guidelines, codes and laws. Yet when sitting for people experiencing extra-ordinary states of consciousness, the intensity and emotionalityoften requires the additional ethical alertness of self-inquiry.
InnerEthics® Ethical Awareness Tools help to gently identify motivations, fears, biases, conflicts of interest, and ethically precarious relational situations before these result in behaviors that might compromise a client’s healing or expansion.
Holotropic Breathwork®
Working with Stanislav Grof, M.D. as a Senior Trainer in the Grof Transpersonal Training throughout the 1990s, Kylea facilitated and observed thousands of extra-ordinary state-of-consciousness sessions. She began her study with Stan and Christina Grof in 1984.
Kylea assisted Grof and Jack Kornfield, Ph.D. in workshops combining Holotropic Breathwork® and Vipassana meditation, and she facilitated Holotropic Breathwork® in residential addiction treatment. She is the author of The Breathwork Experience, Considering Holotropic Breathwork® and the editor of Exploring Holotropic Breathwork®.

SoulCollage® Inc.
Kylea, with her husband Jim Schofield, founded the SoulCollage® organization, which trains facilitators in Seena B. Frost’s expressive arts method. Kylea headed that organization for 25 years. In 2026, when Kylea and Jim transferred the organization to the non-profit SoulCollage Institute, it had trained well over 6000 SoulCollage® Facilitators in 63 countries, who are approved to teach the SoulCollage® method to others for their personal creative reflection and integration. Her article “Internal Family Systems (IFS) and SoulCollage®” discusses the history and usage of these two complementary methods as therapeutic self-discovery systems.
