Looking for a guide for first experience

I am new to this and looking for a experienced guide, possibly someone able to do a web live video session ( skype or other) since I am at high risk with the virus. I am not looking for a source of plant matter. I have researched for a while the benefits of psychedelic effects for anxiety, depression and living with cancer And feel ready to take the leap. Hope there is someone out there who can help.
Thanks in advance

My experience with psychedelic substances has shown me to be aware of my mental state as it will enhance whatever emotion I am experiencing. Should you be in a state of fear, that could be a nightmare in making. After all this BS regarding this so called virus I believe the majority of people are experiencing some form of fear and will it require to come to terms with that emotion prior to embarking on your journey. Wishing you a safe and exciting time!

Not to dissuade you from finding someone like this, but this is my recommendation: plan a time to delve into this experience on your own. Once you've picked a time, prepare for it:
Make sure your setting is comfortable. Clean your living space, wear loose-fitting, comfortable clothes. Make sure you won't be disturbed by other people. Make sure you have easy access to a bathroom and drinking water. If you are ingesting an organism like cactus or mushrooms, make sure you weigh out your dosage so you know how much you are taking. If you're taking LSD, use a testing kit to verify that you aren't about to ingest something harmful like 25-I NBOME.
Make sure you're in a mindful mindset. Take some time before the experience to check in with yourself (maybe through journaling, meditation, whatever). Are you joyful, depressed, scared, excited? There are no wrong answers here, but it's important to know where you're at. Psychedelics have a tendency to intensify emotions, and this can be a little jarring if you start to experience an emotion you weren't prepared for.
Finally, pick a friend or family member who won't be judgmental about your usage of psychedelics. They don't necessarily have to be experienced to be helpful (I usually choose my brother when I take LSD, and he has never taken LSD). Just let them know about your plans, and ask if it would be okay for you to call them if things go wrong. Tell them not to call you or disturb you during the experience, but just to be there to answer the phone if you need someone to talk to. I often find that just knowing someone is there brings me a lot of relief during a challenging trip, even if I never end up having to call them.
When it comes time to dive in, just let go. You may have some frightening experiences while tripping, but just remember that you will be safe and get through it. Don't hide from your fear. Face it head on and lean into it. You'll often find that there are beautiful things waiting on the other side.
With careful preparation, I think it's possible to have a safe psychedelic experience without a guide. I know many people who had their first trips on their own, and there are many people who prefer tripping alone.
I offer all of this not to tell you what to do. It's obviously your journey and you can do what you want with it. I'm just giving you this information to give you more options. If you still wish to find a guide, I wish you the best of luck with that.
