Key Points to Remember

Psychedelic experiences can be profound and transformative, but they are not a quick fix or a magic solution. The real journey lies in thoughtful preparation, meaningful integration, and actively applying insights into everyday life. I advocate for a mindful, gradual approach to transformation, recognising that lasting change often requires dedication, time, and ongoing support.

My Professional Role

While I am a psychiatry doctor and psychedelic therapist in the clinical setting, it is important to understand that during retreats and online preparation and integration sessions, I am not acting as your personal doctor. My role in these settings is as a facilitator and guide, not as a healthcare provider. I encourage all participants to consult with their own healthcare providers before engaging in any retreat or psychedelic work.

My Approach to Psychedelic Substances

My work honours sacred psychedelics and plant teachers within the context of ceremony (and clinical psychedelic-assisted therapy). Importantly, I do not advise on the acquisition of these substances. I do not sell or distribute any psychotropic substances.

Retreats are only held in locations where the legal framework allows for safe and responsible practice. In some countries, like Portugal, psilocybin is decriminalised, allowing for personal use within a ceremonial context. I strictly adhere to local regulations and prioritise safety, respect, and ethical practice at all times.

Participant Screening

I take participant safety seriously and conduct comprehensive screenings to assess potential contraindications, risks, and suitability for my retreat programmes. As a screener and facilitator, I am not providing medical treatment, and I encourage all prospective participants to speak with their own doctor before attending a retreat.
