Meet our team of guides and facilitators
Renee Grandi, MD | she/her
Renee brings over two decades of experience in rural family medicine, along with a deep commitment to integrative and trauma-informed healing. Over time, she recognized that many patients were not reaching lasting healing through conventional approaches alone, leading her to explore modalities such as EMDR, neurofeedback, somatic practices, breathwork, and psychedelic-assisted therapy. Through both professional training and personal experience, Renee witnessed the profound potential of psilocybin in addressing trauma, restoring connection, and opening pathways to wholeness.
In late 2023, she completed a Psychedelic Therapy training through the Integrative Psychiatry Institute and began facilitating intimate retreat experiences with a small group of trusted colleagues—work that quickly evolved into a deeper calling. As the founder of Divinae, Renee has guided numerous retreat experiences and approaches this work with deep care, integrity, and respect for the healing journey. Outside of her work, Renee enjoys caring for and fostering huskies, running sled dogs in the winter, and spending time with her family.
Dani Savage, Psilocybin Facilitator | she/they
Dani Savage is an entrepreneur and musician who spends most of her time learning and applying a diverse variety of skills both professionally and musically. Her love for people brought her into board service for a non-profit that provides resources and community engagement programs within the 2SLGBTQIA+ community. A background in creating training programs has gifted her with a passion for teaching useful tools for nervous system regulation through the concepts of Polyvagal Theory.
Since joining the Divinae, Dani has enjoyed engaging with her community through ceremonial retreats and support groups. Her passion for music manifests within the ceremonial space through beautifully curated playlists blended with live instruments, designed to evoke emotion and foster a connection with one’s innermost self.
Dani holds closely the idea that many questions we have in life can be answered through self-reflection, openness to discovery, and a willingness to grow. Being a part of the ministerial team has brought her much joy and growth through her own journey of self-discovery.
In her downtime, Dani enjoys spending time with her wife and kids; snorkeling is their favorite activity to do as a family. She also enjoys playing board games with friends and having adventures out on the town.
