Background
As a psychedelic coach, I have been guiding clients through transformative and healing experiences using psychedelics for about 10 years – both in high doses and via microdosing. Since a few years as a full-time professional. Amsterdam is my home base and I can coach you in English or Italian in addition to Dutch.

I work with psilocybin truffles and also have extensive knowledge of mushrooms, DMT, Changa, MDMA and other (plant) medicines that provide mental, personal and spiritual growth. It is hugely rewarding work where I facilitate an empowering experience. Thanks to psychedelics, I (re)found my own happiness in life, and my depression and suicidal thoughts are long behind me.


Experience
As a ‘lead guide’ I work for the largest Amsterdam based psychedelic guiding company, where I specialize in 1-on-1 and 2-on-1 legal psilocybin experiences. I also regularly work as a facilitator at various group ceremonies.

After studying pedagogy (not completed, I ended up with a degree in music production) I worked in psychiatric healthcare. In addition, I bring a decade of practical knowledge about psychedelic ‘journeys’ using various plant medicines. My expertise is built on years of extensive self-study, sessions with different types of plant medicines and practical experience with hundreds of clients.


Philosophy
The enormous power of psychedelics to heal, transform and enrich has been proven time and time again. I trust science, but at the same time believe in the magic of psychedelics that keeps happening in front of my own eyes.

I believe that with the right guidance, everyone is capable of tapping into a source of inner wisdom and intuitive self-healing. My goal is to assist you on your healing journey, by providing a supportive, non-judgmental safe space for personal growth and change, so you become more connected to yourself. My personal beliefs and spirituality do not matter in your healing process. My priority is your well-being and I therefore offer you emotional involvement and personal guidance throughout the entire 8 weeks of the program and longer if necessary.


Approach: safe and professional
My approach is personal and practical. Empathy, compassion, safety and commitment to your personal transformation are important for me. I am here to facilitate your journey to a deeper understanding of yourself, with a focus on tangible results. What is unique about my approach is that I offer more than just a psychedelic experience. Together, we engage in an approximately 8-week journey designed to maximize the process of self-discovery and healing. During that process I will provide you with practical tools, tips and exercises to achieve a lasting positive impact on your mental well-being. I am convinced that thorough preparation and integration are the key to a profound experience. I can also share with you my knowledge about other plant medicines and microdosing.

The role of a guide
An experienced psychedelic coach will ensure a safe and supported feeling and an enriching psychedelic journey.
A good guide is emotionally involved, present, open, caring, empathetic, can listen reflectively, and has extensive experience with psychedelics himself/herself.
He or she gives you ‘flight instructions’ and tells you about the different possible scenarios, so that you are prepared and know how to navigate the psychedelic state, and which enable you to dive deep into the (healing) experience with confidence.
The journey with psilocybin is not a quick fix. Transformation is something you must learn to embrace. It requires a dedication that takes time. Set, setting, intention, preparation and integration are essential for a successful outcome.
