FAQ
Microdosing involves taking very small amounts of psychedelics, typically psilocybin, to enhance emotional well-being, focus, and creativity without experiencing full psychedelic effects.
When approached responsibly, microdosing is generally well-tolerated. However, it’s important to consider personal health conditions and consult a professional if necessary.
Yes, we do not sell or provide psilocybin, but we can offer guidance on sourcing mushrooms where legally available.
A single session can provide valuable insights, but a package of sessions allows for a deeper, more structured exploration and integration.
Many people find microdosing beneficial for managing anxiety, depression, ADHD, and other challenges, but it is not a replacement for professional medical treatment.

Caro is a mindset and personal development coach and psychedelic facilitator who helps people identify and change limiting beliefs so they can live with greater clarity and purpose.
As a neurodivergent woman, she brings a heightened awareness and unique perspective to her work, often noticing details others might miss. She supports clients in recognising self-sabotaging patterns and understanding how these influence their lives. Through this process, they learn to question old assumptions, make conscious choices, and create lives that feel meaningful to them.
Caro’s own life experiences deeply inform her work. She has let go of a long-standing sense of guilt, overcome people-pleasing tendencies, and rebuilt her self-worth. She has also addressed patterns of codependency, worked through anxiety, and recovered from two traumatic birth experiences.
By approaching her own childhood experiences with greater care, she has learned to be a more compassionate mother and to raise her children to be confident, curious, and creative individuals.

Rachel is a clinical psychologist, psychedelic facilitator, and Holotropic Breathwork facilitator with over 20 years of experience. She helps people find their own answers and build trust in their ability to heal. She supports them in working through their challenges and strengthening their sense of self.
In her work, Rachel follows the principle of “non-doing.” Rather than directing or deciding what someone needs, she helps clients make sense of their emotions and physical impulses, creating a wider, non-judgmental perspective from which insights can arise. She is fully present with those she works with, including during difficult and challenging moments.
Rachel first encountered Holotropic Breathwork during her psychology studies at the age of 23 and was immediately drawn to the potential of non-ordinary states of consciousness. This experience confirmed her decision to become a psychologist and shaped the direction of her professional path.
She went on to obtain a second Master’s degree in Transpersonal Psychology and Consciousness Studies, a field of psychology that recognizes spirituality as a human need. In 2016, she completed the Grof Transpersonal Training and became a certified Holotropic Breathwork facilitator. She is also trained in EMDR therapy.
Rachel holds the perspective that expanded states of consciousness can play a powerful role in healing and self-development. She believes that many healing processes are less about doing more and more about allowing space, letting go, and returning to one’s essential self.

Sanne is an experienced psilocybin guide, artist, and singer-songwriter. Since 2019, she has guided more than 200 individuals in psilocybin sessions, drawing on her training in trauma work, inner child work, and parts work. Her approach is both structured and creative, combining therapeutic methods with music to create meaningful and supportive experiences.
Her path into this work began at the age of eighteen when she experienced a heart attack and near death experience. While she recovered physically, she later discovered she was living with anxiety, PTSD, and dissociation. This turning point led her to study the impact of trauma on mental, emotional, and physical health.
Over the years, she has worked with teachers and mentors who taught her how to address trauma at its roots, work with the subconscious mind, and use psilocybin in a responsible and intentional way. These studies, together with her personal journey, gave her the tools to guide others through challenging inner experiences.
Sanne believes that meaningful change is not about quick fixes but about addressing underlying patterns, living in line with one’s values, and practicing honest self-expression. She supports people in moving from disconnection to connection, from self-doubt to confidence, and toward a life that feels authentic and grounded.
