Michaela Mairinger

Director of Marketing at The Synthesis Institute

Michaela spent most of her professional career working in growth-oriented startups. Before joining Synthesis, she was the marketing lead in digital mental health and sustainability start-ups.

Experiencing traumatic grief led her to initiate a decade-long journey of looking into different traditional and non-traditional approaches to healing. Some of these were fruitful, some useful, and some ineffective, her first encounter with plant-based psychedelics marked a profound before and after in her life.

Her mission at Synthesis is to create strategies and tactics that educate, inspire, and invite others to explore how psychedelics can support their potential for deep, meaningful change.
