"It was very great. My first experience with magic mushroom, I was pretty anxious but Aleece and Arjan were very efficient at making it a confortable experience for me. It was a wonderful, it really gave me what I was expecting and I'm very glad that I did it. Thanks again, and I'll probably come back next year."

"Wouter and Aleece are wonderful hosts putting me at ease totally. They explain everything very clearly and are very open to questions. I have never done anything like this and at 71 years of age, was somewhat nervous going into it. The room was so comfortable, calming and just made me feel very safe along with the knowledge that they were constantly there to reassure and give whatever was needed. I don't think I have ever opened up to strangers as I did with them. I can honestly say this experience has changed my life. I went into it feeling traumatised from recent events, exhausted, angry and in pain. I came out of it feeling more relaxed and at peace than I have for years and what surprised me the most, was the physical lessening of the pain. I guess when you are that tense it increases pain. I fully intend to do it again in the future and would highly recommend them to anyone who wants to give it try."

"So now it’s has been five days since my experience with medicine. It’s been extremely intense all the way emotionally, somatic and vivid and complex visual imagery. Lots of sadness and pain came out of my being. I am still processing it and honestly I have not figured out how it impacted me in the long term. All I can say is that I don’t recognise myself as I used to know myself. I feel like I am detached from what I know I was… not really comfortable feeling or unknown feeling?.. I have definitely hard times with integrating my experience but hopefully I will land in my new self in peace and joy. I came here with intention to break through my depression I deal with like 15 years. Aleece and Wauter were friendly and I felt I could trust them which gave me the opportunity to let go of control during my trip and turn all my focus internally. Thank you guys 🙏 and a special thanks to this wonderful doggie Wally. I know I have lots of job to do to integrate this experience but I am hopeful. Peace and love ❤️ "

"What a wonderful first time experience. Wouter and Aleece were amazing, putting me at ease, great communication and very professional. I will be returning and have already recommended this to many friends given what a great experience this was. If you are unsure of apprehensive then this is definitely the place to start. There kindness, supportiveness and clear communication put you at ease and make this totally worthwhile. Very special experience for me and I am sure anyone else that attends. "

"I had arrived very anxious on Aleece and Wouter's house for this experienced,but during my session everything went very good,didn't expect to be like that.Thank you very much Wouter and Aleece for hospitality,and for everything they did for me to have a pleasant experience,and also thank you for the light meal soup and juice to regenerate and hidrate my body.Wish you all the best regards!"

"For me both Aleece and Wouter were a perfect combination of professionalism and friendliness. It seemed effortless to be around even though I arrived pretty stressed out and don't enjoy being around new people in general. They patiently answered all my questions, were open an helpful when I needed it. Talked with me when I wanted it, were silently by my side when I didn't. When returning mentally from the journey, I got pretty anxious and Wouter helped me to calm down. In general, I would recommend them to anyone who as myself feels this is something they should do but are worried or simply want to do it in the safest and most adequate way possible. Thank you Aleece and Wouter for sharing your house and experience with others, I'm very grateful for our day together."

"This was my first experience with plant medicine and I feel blessed to have found Aleece & Wouter, they were patient, calm and put me at ease from the start and ensured I felt completely safe and cared for throughout the experience. The location is amazing with great views of the countryside, yet only a short drive from the airport. I had an amazing experience and would highly recommend Esencia to anyone considering this therapy; you will not be disappointed. "

It was hosted by partners Wouter and Aleese ,two profession psychologists.They are a warm ,friendly ,kind,caring and compassionate couple who immediately put me at ease. The sessions took place in their beautiful home in a stunning location in the mountains outside Alicante,Spain.The session room is very comfortable and relaxing.everything is provided for your comfort and convenience.At all times during my visit I felt safe,well supported and in very good professional hands..Everything was explained to me beforehand and there was plenty of time after the session to comfortably talk through my insights and experiences with my hosts. Food and drink was also provided after the session. The level of communication between us from my Initial enquiry ,during my 4 day stay and then on my return home was excellent giving me confidence and reassurance that everything was taken care of and I could simply relax and enjoy my experiences. Without hesitation I would return myself,and would recommend Wouter and Aleese at Esencia to anyone seeking a psychedelic experience."

"This was my first psilocybin experience and even though I was incredibly nervous and scared, I felt very safe in the hands of Wouter and Aleece. They both were very patient and caring taking the time to answer my questions. The setting was incredibly peaceful for me both during and after my journey. I’m so happy I did this and found Wouter and Aleece to help guide me. "

"I had the absolute pleasure of taking part in a Plant Medicine & Therapy session with Aleece and Wouter. Being picked up and welcomed to their beautiful home with stunning views over sunkissed, misty mountains. Here I was greeted by cats, dogs, and two very professional guides. The setting was so perfect for a smooth and positive experience. Everything about this meeting and session was so loving and caring. I would recommend anyone who feels the calling for this type of session, to visit these two professional psychologists at this retreat. You are in such good hands the whole time, I can't imagine a better set and setting. Thank you, Aleece and Wouter! /Henrik"

"With clear intention and the best setting prepared by and with Aleece and Wouter I had a great experience of universal love and oneness! I felt save and in good hands all the time!"

"Aleece was caring and friendly and helped me feel comfortable throughout the experience and afterwards."

"Wouter talked me through the experience before hand and ensured I was comfortable with everything. He was friendly and supportive."

"Wouter and Aleece were really friendly and made me feel very comfortable and supported. I would definitely recommend them to anyone wanting to experience psilocybin who may be a little nervous about doing so."

"A remarkable and life changing experience, challenging at times but ultimately positive, exhilarating & transformative. Wouter and Aleece are both 100% - knowledgeable, compassionate & grounded people who provided the setting needed for a safe journey. I highly recommend this retreat"

"I cannot recommend this enough; both its substance, and the hosts who usher you through what is an intense, profound, life-altering experience. From start to finish, Wouter and Aleece were supportive, responsive, flexible, knowledgeable, and above all, compassionate. I felt heard, understood and encouraged. And the spectacular countryside location is ideal for expansive contemplation. Do this. "

"After reading a lot about psychedelics and benefits which it brings to psychological and physical state, I’ve been searching for proper retreat with skilled professionals for couple of years, because I had some negative experiences in the past with @cid (but I did them without proper set and setting, and any preparation whatsoever so I had a partially bad trip). When I found Wouter and Alice I booked a session with them. I got all my questions answered by Wouter during our initial call and he sent me the preparation step by step guide on how to properly get ready for the experience. So, I did as I was told. I stopped drinking alcohol for two weeks prior to the session, I focused on healthy food, proper sleep and exercise. Also, I started formulating my intention (basically what I wanted to get out of this experience) On the day of trip Alice picked me up from Alicante and drove me to their house Tibi. They have an amazing place with a beautiful view and lots of pets! We had a little chat about the upcoming experience and I told them that I was getting nervous, because of my negative experience in the past. They comforted me by explaining that it was totally ok, and we proceeded to the room where the session was supposed to happen. Wouter gave me a mushroom tea which was prepared with agave syrup and ginger, which is amazing because I didn’t experience any nausea whatsoever. (Which is usually the case with mushrooms. Ginger is amazing for treating nausea.) The room was very comfortable with beautiful painting in there. The bed was quite nice as well with a nice heavy blanket. Wouter and Alice took care of me during the experience in the most caring way. The helped me with basic needs and wants like water and toilet, and also helped me through the confusing parts of the session, by guiding me with questions. The experience was amazing and otherworldly. I’m not gonna go in to details here, but I definitely got what I wanted from it. I just want to say that there was lots of somatic releases of tension from the body during the session, and at some point I felt that I was like reborn. It’s hard to explain but it is amazing! Also, I have to mention music. It was pure bliss. The playlist is perfectly crafted for the experience and it guided my whole journey during the session! After the I “came back” to this world, Wouter offered me some nice snacks and sugary drinks and guided me out of the experience! We talked about what happened and about the ways to integrate the experience in to my life. After I got ready to leave the room, Alice prepared me some nice pie and some soup. After that they drove me back to Alicante. I am super grateful that I’ve found Wouter and Alice, highly recommended! "

"I am really grateful i went on this deep journey. I had a wonderful experience with the mushroom and it deepened the connection to myself. Wouter and Alice were both very kind and friendly and made me feel very safe during the experience. Thank you so much. "

"I choose Esencia based on the reviews and location. I was particularly interested in the 1-2-1 session as my first experience of using psychedelics as therapy. The pre-consultation with Wouter was very good- I got a good sense of what to expect and he answered all of my questions. After the conversation I felt confident in their hands as experienced professionals who were also nice people. I was picked up and taken to the villa in the mountains, which is a beautiful backdrop to the experience. I felt safe throughout the session, which was a concern of mine. There was always someone there to provide support and assistance. I opted for the over night stay, which allowed me to decompress in a safe, calm environment and contemplate my experiences. The guest room is lovely, with a private bathroom and plenty of privacy. I feel I lifted a significant amount of negativity from my mind and would like to return to further explore the possibilities in this kind, professional environment. "

"This was my first psilocybin experience and I felt very comfortable and welcomed by Aleece & Wouter. They answered any questions that I had before I arrived and on the day before the session. During the session they are always in the room to answer any questions that you have or to talk you through anything which may come up. The room that you have the session in is very comfortable and the playlists that are used really allow you to go on a journey and experience something special. Their place in Tibi is very peaceful and it's quite something after the session to look over at the mountains! I'm definitely glad that I chose to have this experience with them. "

"I highly recommend booking this retreat with Wouter and Aleece. As a therapist interested in the healing potential of mushrooms for myself and hopefully one day also clients, I was keen to try the experience in a safe and professional environment. Aleece and Wouter were fantastic, really welcoming, caring and knowledgeable, which helped me relax and get the most from the experience. The treatment room is beautiful and clean and cozy with lovely views of the mountains. The music was spellbinding. The trip was extraordinary with deep insights that I am Integrating into my life in positive and healing ways. Listening to the music afterwards helps me remember the experience and feelings, great for meditation. If you are curious about mushrooms, this is the perfect place to come and try their magic! "

"My therapeutic mushroom session with Aleece and Wouter could not have been more perfect. It was exactly what I needed and was looking for. They were both so supportive through this whole process with before and after counseling, explaining the entire process, making me feel very supported and calm throughout. And the setting was very lovely and calming as well. This experience has definitely put me on the right and better path to move forward in my life with more clarity and less anxiety. I highly recommend this with using the expertise of Aleece and Wouter for others needing a little help with clarity and calmness. "

"This was my first time experiencing psilocybin shrooms and both Aleece and Wouter made the experience smooth. I couldn't have felt more comfortable and at ease with Aleece and Wouter. The location was beautiful, they talked me through everything and it was a great experience. I felt well looked after and would recommend to those who are considering this retreat. L"

"Aleece and Wouter are outstanding hosts. From our initial consultation, to the experience and to follow-up calls and messages - the service they provide is really excellent. My wife is recovering from a trauma due to illness and we shared an experience together to allow us to reflect on recent events and to give context to the future. We would recommend this experience to anyone. "

"Best experience, they are very professional to be leaders. "

"Thank you, Aleece & Wouter. You are very welcoming, knowledgeable and just great professional and empathic companions before, during and after the trip. I fully recommend you and your services. The location is also very relaxed, and rural, with a beautiful mountain view. I will see you again."

"There are no words to explain my experience with Wouter and Aleece. This was my second guided Psilocibin experience and this time I realized what the real experience was supposed to be. I have had severe anxiety throughout my life and had experienced trauma in my life as well however I always searched for answers rather than temporary solutions ie medications. From the very start Wouter and Aleece were professional and warm and welcoming. Their approach and methodology was very suited to my needs as it was both therapeutic yet spiritual at the same time. The results of my two sessions with them was surreal and most importantly enlightening as during my mushroom journey I was able to see the answers I was seeking within myself. And gain clarity on many things. And as I mentioned before they were extremely hospitalble. I will definitely be returning to them for my next experience. Thank you Aleece and Wouter. Ash "

"Amazing first psychadelic experience. Wouter and Aleece are such attentive and knowledgeable guides and hosts. They answered all of my (many) questions before booking, before the session and afterwards. They collected me from and dropped me back to the airport at times to suit my flights. Food and drinks were available at all times and a lovely warming meal prepared for after the session. The venue is perfect, complete with 3 super friendly cats. The room where the experience takes place is very comfortable and it's clear that a lot of thought and consideration has been paid to details to optimise the experience. The location is tranquil with stunning views of the mountains. Any expectations I had were very much exceeded. So glad I took the plunge and even happier that it was with Wouter and Aleece. I've already booked a second session. "
