"If I tell you that what is written on the Inner Shift Institute website is truly what you will get, would you believe it? I was hoping for some of that. Years of therapy and family problems brought me to a point from which I saw no way out. Neither for myself nor for my loved ones. I came with one intention to solve one of many problems and with a bit of hope that this trip would bring something. However, what I encountered was a complete surprise at the extremes of each scale. And THIS SHIFT which takes you from one side to another, would not have happened without the wise leadership of the entire team. During 6-day stay program prepared by Alice and the team, each stage played its most important role. Without the knowledge and open heart of the team, each stage of it, preparation, management, integration would be only a fleeting event. Alice, Jeanne, Cony, Amber, Caroline you accompanied me on my journey and your presence with your gifts was the key to the transformation of me and the problems I was struggling with, a transformation that happens even after I returned home. I felt within myself the solution to the problem I came with - no matter how strange it may sound, this feeling is the essence. I wholeheartedly recommend it...to the world!"

"Having researched psilocybin therapy for some years l decided to embark on my first journey. This meant deciding on the right setting and the right facilitator to assist me with my journey, which will always stay with me for the rest of my life.
From our first contact l found Gregory a very professional, humble and compassionate person, who l could speak openly to about my intentions around me embarking upon my journey.
He understood my trauma and his guidance felt empathetic throughout the journey and truly caring.
I much preferred a 1-2-1 session as l felt it was very personal. Gregory explained everything clearly through emails and on a video call before our session.
On the day of my therapy Gregory arrived promptly, we spoke and l felt very comfortable and ready. He explained dosage and tolerance and we agreed what l would have. We proceeded with breathing exercises and l felt very relaxed to start my journey. Gregory was great at calming my slightly nervous anxiety with his humble manner.
It was good to speak to him about the things that came up for me during my journey and at the end of the session as it was extremely emotional.
Also touching base a few weeks later also helped to put things more into perspective of the journey, thank you Gregory!!!

"Had my first-ever experience with plant medicine (psilocybin) with Caro and the Inner Shift Institute, and I couldn't be happier with my choice. The entire team, from booking to trip guidance and integration, truly managed to create the best possible setting for a first-timer.
The preparation was thorough and I was sent a bunch of useful resources well in time before the trip, all very helpful for a soft introduction to the world of psychedelics. This included a whole video course, a preparation video, book recommendations, and so forth.
Caro was a wonderful guide throughout my experience. The preparation session was great, and she was thorough, analytical, and emotionally sound when guiding me in setting an intention for the trip. The result was great confidence and a calm, clear mind ahead of the experience.
For anyone feeling a bit of nervousness surrounding plant medicine, Caro is a wonderful person to have around! She created a comfortable, safe, light, and professional setting from the minute we met, and ensured the same atmosphere throughout the experience. To me, this resulted in complete trust, surrender, and readiness both ahead of, during, and after the trip.
The integration session took place a few days after the trip, granting me the time needed to thoroughly reflect upon the experience on my own first. During the integration, Caro truly helped me both make sense of my visions and connect them to my intention, my patterns, and life itself.
I am ending this experience with increased clarity and a strong motivation to continue my inner work. I truly recommend the Inner Shift Institute to anyone aiming to enter the world of plant medicine and its healing powers."
"When I started my quest to find a guided psychedelic experience, A Whole New High (now Inner Shift) felt right immediately. They were responsive and provided information and guidance. Working with an established agency that employed seasoned practitioners was extremely important to me. Supporting a women owned and operated business was icing on the cake. When it came time to choose the practitioner, I knew that I would be in good hands with anyone. I was lucky enough to feel a connection with Karlijn through reading her biography and then watching a video of her explaining what could be expected throughout the process.
I appreciate having the opportunity to work with AWNH, now Inner Shift, but am profoundly grateful to Karlijn for her expertise, her light, and her grounding nature. Her experience and wisdom helped guide me through a life changing journey. Karlijn’s energy and unwavering trust in this work provided the space and tools I needed to move through deep rooted barriers. With Karlijn’s help, I was able to face fears and ultimately surrender to the process. I do not feel that words are enough to describe my gratitude to this agency, for believing in this therapeutic modality and then employing women like Karlijn, who give themselves to this work so that people like me can find deep and profound healing.

"Gregory has all the best qualities of the perfect guide. My journey definitely wouldn't have been so beneficial if it wasn't for him.
A part from the usual qualities you'd expect from a guide (trustworthy, puts you at ease, listens very well etc.), the one that particularly stood out to me is Gregory's level of care for making sure he doesn't "color" or influence your journey. Gregory makes sure to say just what is needed to help you let go, look within and reap the benefits.
I know for sure that I'll be doing more sessions with him in the future and I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a great guide :)"
"An excellent experience. Very thoughtfully conducted and guided by Gregory from the outset to ensure you are in a position to enable the maximum benefits from your journey. Highly recommended."
"This was my very first experience with any psychedelic substances, and Greg's facilitation of the process was an essential part of me feeling safe and trusting during the session. We did a video chat in advance and he explained the process throughout, and has also followed up with me after the process. He's a beautiful human being with good intentions. The session itself was humbling and beyond words, and has resulted (only a week in) in some definite shifts in my way of being so far, which I hope to cultivate and continue through some spiritual practice, more research and being in nature. If in the future I decide to continue my exploration of Psilocybin, I will definitely get back in touch with Greg. All the best to anyone who reads this."
"A Whole New High is a sanctuary for the evolution of consciousness. The guides are incredibly gifted and wise. This is an experience everyone should undergo. Gratitude beyond measure."
"Massive gratitude for the session! Not only did it bring me clarity, but it tackled all my queries. I've gained practical tools for my daily life, and the transformation I'm experiencing already is beyond words – a definite upgrade from before."
"The teams year long experience with psychedelics, their psychotherapy and psychology know-how mixed with Psilocybin magic felt like embarking on an adventure of self-discovery. Thank you!"
"What stood out most for me was the genuine care and compassion that Jeanne and Cony infused into every aspect of their work. Their nurturing presence and commitment to creating a supportive community allows for vulnerability, emotional release, and authentic connection."
"I am truly impressed by a team of gifted and inspiring facilitators who seamlessly integrate both the western and shamanic approaches, creating an experience that truly embodies A Whole New High."
"incredible! highly recommended."
"Prior to this retreat, I was trying everything to improve my mental health for more than 30 years, but everything felt like a shot in the dark. The retreat helped me to see my destination and plot my course forward. I was able to clear away old hurts and move around blocks. The team assembled for our retreat was caring, passionate and knowledgeable; they knew the right word to say at the right time. I feel more like myself than I have in many years. Living true to my inner self is such a gift. I still have work to do, but I now clearly know my direction and feel such purpose and peace every day. It wasn’t what I expected, but it was exactly what I needed. I truly consider the group retreat one of the best things I have ever done and strongly encourage everyone to embrace this experience."
"Insightful and incredible psilocybin therapy session that provided a clear experience of the transformative power of psychedelic experiences."
"Nothing negative to say! The entire experience was life changing and folks I shared it with were an extraordinary bunch! The facilitators were all compassionate and extremely caring. They are truly gifted in the art of people! "
"I spent quite a bit of time seeking the right guide as it was my first psilocybin experience. From our first video call I had an intuition he is the right guide for my experience. He explained what to expect clearly over 2 calls to prepare for the experience. I did two sessions under Greg's guidance. His method is non interventionist, allowing room for self discovery during the session. His presence and helpfulness made the set and setting very comfortable. Anyone pursing a private session I can highly recommend Greg. "
"Gregory

"Dear Gregory,
Our journey is now two weeks in the past, and we still have no regrets! We are sincerely thankful to you and very happy that we chose to embark on this journey with you.
Your gentle nature, your calmness, your knowledge, and your experience with psilocybin travel are simply indescribable. We trusted you immensely and would recommend you anytime.
For us, this journey was perhaps the best experience of our lives, and we are infinitely grateful for the way you guided us. You are a remarkable person!
We managed to shed old patterns, make new decisions, and get closer to ourselves once again. We experienced what our bodies are capable of with the help of the truffles, felt incredible sensations, and love discussing it.
It was such a wonderful experience, and it was so worth it. Thank you for everything, and we wish you nothing but the best for your future!
Ronja and Marc"
"Thank you Gregory for facilitating and guiding me through this life-changing experience. I don't think I will ever be the same, and I am grateful for your wisdom, intelligence and sensitivity. "
