Hi I’m Bénédicte Mannix. You can call me Ben!
I have over 30 years of experience with psychedelics and have been serving others as a Holistic Psilocybin Therapist for over 15 years.
I am a positive and enthusiastic person, forever in search of truth and happiness. I believe in the immense potential of human beings and that every person is beautiful.
I’ve spent decades traveling the world and have met many people from different cultures and have learned a lot from them. I realized long ago that what makes people happy, more than anything else, is to be free. Everybody has the power to achieve whatever goals they can imagine and my role as a therapist is to help people know themselves in order to achieve them.
I have a very dynamic background in various forms of therapy which allows me to guide and support my clients using a holistic approach.
Here’s some information on the different therapeutic tools and perspectives I use with my clients:
As a trained Rogerian therapist, I focus on guiding my clients to a place of empowerment which allows them to discover their own solutions to the challenges in their lives.
Having studied Sophrology, I’m equipped to help my clients deal with anxiety, depression, various phobias, and childhood trauma.
I've also been involved with Risk Reduction programs at large festivals around the world for many years. This work focuses on creating a supportive environment and providing specialized care designed to transform difficult psychedelic experiences into valuable opportunities for healing, learning, and growth.
Over the years, I’ve learned that Integration is one of the most important parts of the psychedelic journey. It gives a space to bring forth insights gained during the altered state of consciousness to our normal state. This is a key focus of all my retreats.
If you are searching for solutions to long-term struggles and are interested in psilocybin therapy, send me a message or book a retreat.
Details of this retreat
These sessions serve as important support structures for people who are interested in experiencing psilocybin on their own.
It is important to FEEL SAFE, before, during, and after a non-ordinary state of consciousness.
Ensuring you create the best “set and setting” for your journey is at the core of the first session. During our discussion, I’ll help you think through what elements to include (or remove) from your environment and your mind as you prepare for your journey. You’ll learn about how different items, sounds, thoughts can affect your journey. We’ll co-design the perfect “set and setting” for your journey as well as discuss your intentions and what you are hoping to explore and learn about during your journey.
The second session occurs after you’ve completed your journey. We’ll discuss the ins-and-outs of your experience. You’ll feel safe knowing that I’ll be listening without judgment and will be approaching our conversation from a place of caring and curiosity.Together we’ll interpret your experience and translate what you learned into a plan you can take with you as you move forward in your life.

Pleasant first psychedelic experience
I chose a 3-day retreat at Sophrodelic. Ben was super helpful and caring when reviewing thoughts in therapy. Everything is flexible. I found Ben's home office to be a comforting and safe place to open up about thoughts and for this first experience.
Also, I'm omnivore at home, but do enjoy the fruit, veggies, and Jamaican food while you are visiting =)
