If you are struggling with mental health problems such as depression, anxiety, OCD, PTSD or simply feeling like your life is lacking meaning, passion and direction, psilocybin-assisted therapy and microdosing can be a way to find your way back to the light.
Research at Johns Hopkins University found that about 65% of participants rated their psychedelic experience as “as being among the five most personally meaningful experiences of their lives"

You'll reveive everything you need to get started on a 8 week programme. From jouranlling prompts and breathwork guidance, I will guide you through Microdosing
1:1 or small group sacred ceremonies by appointment. In serene settings, in a safe and legal space. Preparation, integration and breathwork sessions included.
This 3-day Psychedelic Retreat for Over-60s offers guided ceremonies and breathwork in a sea-view villa, with extra comfort, care, and medical support throughout for a safe, transformative experience.
Focus, Clarity & Creativity with Microdosing
Microdosing can help boost focus, calm anxiety, and encourage creative thinking. By working with brain chemistry in small, manageable doses, it helps regulate key neurotransmitters—without the overwhelming effects of larger doses. It’s not a cure-all, but it may offer noticeable benefits for those struggling with mental clarity or emotional balance.
ADHD: Microdosing may help boost dopamine levels, improving focus and attention, and potentially helping reduce symptoms of ADHD like restlessness and difficulty concentrating.
Anxiety: Microdosing supports serotonin regulation, helping to balance mood and reduce feelings of anxiety. It could promote a more calm, centred state without the intensity of traditional treatments.
Depression: Microdosing may influence brain chemistry, helping to support emotional balance by enhancing neuroplasticity and stimulating dopamine production. Some users report feeling more motivated and mentally sharp.
For Creativity: Microdosing has been shown to enhance cognitive flexibility by stimulating the glutamate system, which supports creative thinking and problem-solving. It also boosts Nerve Growth Factor (NGF), which promotes the growth and regeneration of neurons, aiding in neuroplasticity and helping the brain make new connections, leading to more innovative ideas and solutions.
I have an 8-week, remote microdosing protocol, which combines 8 X 1:1 coaching sessions, including nervous system reset breathwork, integration/talk therapy and a journalling workbook which can help you to make a real shift in your life.
Right now I'm offering customers a free 7-day microdose experience pack. Find out what your dose level is and how it could integrate into your life, for a healthier happier you. Click the link below to send me an email requesting your starter pack.
While many people share these experiences, it's important to note that research is still ongoing, and individual responses can vary significantly. Always consider potential risks and consult with a healthcare professional if you're thinking about microdosing.
About Me
I want to give as much safe, affordable and legal access to the healing properties found in magic mushrooms as possible. I keep my prices low and provide the best possible advice and guidance around access to growing and journeying with psilocybin.
I have been taking magic mushrooms for personal healing for the last 6 years and felt a profound change and transformation in my life.
I began to facilitate friends in psychedelic journies as I wanted to share the healing potential I experienced. The changes I witnessed in these friends have compelled me to create this platform and offer up the services of psychedelic preparation, guidance and integration.
I understand the importance of somatic experience in healing and am a certified breathwork facilitator. I hold breathwork classes using faster circular breathing, evocative music, and focused bodywork to activate an inner guiding intelligence. This allows subconscious material to surface safely so that it can be processed and integrated. Participants often experience emotional breakthroughs and spiritual insights during these sessions.
The combination of talk therapy using IFS-inspired parts work in preparatory and integration calls, the mystical experience during psilocybin journeys and the embodied release experienced in breathwork is a powerful, holistic trinity that I am proud to use and call my unique methodology.
Besides my personal experience and breathwork training, I have trained with Psycare UK in psychedelic crisis management, with The Funghi Academy in space holding as well as holding a certificate in counselling.
Discovery Call
This free introductory video call is designed for us to explore your specific concerns and what I can offer to be of service. If we have not met before, please book this call before booking a full session. 25 minutes.
Her introduction was a wonderful weaving of the physiological science that the body undergoes in an hour experience and the intriguing repatterning possibilities. She was confident in teaching and holding fantastic space. She had a gorgeous meditation playlist and truly invited an internal journey even though the room was packed! She so sweetly gave supportive touch, words of encouragement, essential oils, and flowers when needed during the journey 🌸 It was an otherworldly experience and Kelly is truly an Earth angel.

Testimonials
I found it incredibly meaningful. I had already done a lot of breathwork on my own to meditate but this was much more powerful. There were tears, there were memories, there were revelations, and there was healing. For the following couple of days I really could not take my mind from it."
- Pierre May 2024
It was nothing short of transformational. I had been aware for some time that I had an emotional blockage I had been unable to release, with Kelly it started to flow outwards which gave me proper access to my physical body again. This has had a myriad of benefits in both my inner and outer worlds, helped me towards figuring out further inner work I have to do and assisted in my self confidence generally. I will be back for an individual session to go deeper as soon as my work schedule allows. Thank you so much, Kelly!"
- Amelia June 2024
I want to share the amazing experience I had with this therapy. Kelley is a gentle and grounded person, she was with me and my difficulties all the time, from the beginning to the end of the process. I felt secure and able to explore myself. Also the place is a hidden pearl in São Julião nature.
- Claudia August 2024
Meeting you and your healing art was a transformative experience. I loved the powerful session combining medicine and breathwork, with a beautiful introduction and clear explanation, conscious ingestion of the mind-opening medicine... Then the breathwork practice, tuning into rythmic respiration, diving deep inside, is impossible to describe, so intense and intimate. You wonderfully held the space for this very-special inner immersion, caring for each of us, giving trust in the process of trance. I feel grateful and look forward to experiencing a one-to-one session with you at your place. Love and blessings
-Lo, July 2024
I did three sessions with Kelley and I can say that I felt super safe with her and supported by her with kindness and humanity. She’s very committed in what she does and she really took care of me.
Also the spot is lovely, peaceful and surrounded by nature. It was a life-changing experience and I don’t have any regrets. I recommended her to anyone who is interested in, without any hesitation.
-Veronica, August 2024
I really appreciated the thoughtful and intentional preparation that Kelley led me on a few weeks before our session, including journalling and breathwork. My session with Kelley was gently held and I felt safe that she had prepared me for what might come up and that it would be OK. My mushroom journey was beautiful, releasing and transformational. The peaceful setting of Kelley's place allowed me to feel safe to express and release what was present for me. I have been recommending Kelley to more friends as I trust and appreciate what she is offering and hope to return for another session if and when the time aligns.
-Becky, September 2024
Dear Kelley,
I wanted to tell you that the journey I took with you this summer was truly transformative for me. I cherish the experience and come back to it from time to time, but more than anything it has left in me a sense of tranquillity and self-assurance that are always there with me, and which enable me to make clear decisions and to trust more deeply in my intuition and my ancient knowledge. It also has allowed me to experience my emotions more vividly and to be less scared of whatever’s coming up.
I have since started training to be a therapist and it's an incredible journey already.
So I do want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for opening this path for me, to go deeper, to experience myself and the world with an open heart.
-Maya February 2025
PREPARATION
In online via Zoom or in-person, preparation sessions, we will work together to reduce potential harms and increase benefits. In unison, we will create a personalized plan to ready your mind, body, and spirit for the upcoming transformative journey.
Employing a blend of nurturing body practices like breathwork and mindful approaches such as Internal Family Systems (IFS), we'll seek to shine a light on the traumas, and limiting beliefs that may have been laying in the unconscious. Using these modalities we can begin to hone in on the intentions you may wish to bring into your psychedelic journey.
Here we also will cover the more practical elements such as preparing the room (setting), advising how to respond to challenging experiences and dosing. I can also guide you towards safe and supportive retreat centres, on the use of grow-kits to grow your own medicine, and advise you of important contraindications to resolve before embarking on a psychedelic experience.
If you have signed up for the Grow Your Own Medicine package these Zoom calls are an opportunity to ask practical questions about the kit and how to build a relationship with your medicine as it grows.
Cost for 1 session: €40
Cost for 2 sessions: €70
INTEGRATION
Online over Zoom or in Person, we'll work together using a Mix of IFS-inspired "parts work" and restorative and/or transformational breathwork to delve into the subconscious. In our integration sessions, I will guide you through a series of questions that will help us make sense of the psychedelic experience, fleshing it out. Telling the story of trip is the first step in understanding it, and bringing it to life in this world.
I am not here to place meaning and interpret: these experiences are deeply personal and only you can be the one to truly unlock the experience.
I can give you the tools you need to make sense of the experience, over the weeks and months after the journey the meaning and action(s) you feel called to take will emerge. Patience, reflection and careful integration work is what is most needed.
It can be tempting to make huge life-altering decisions after these journies, I am here to help you interpret the visions and messages received, but I will also act as an objective observer, helping you to take the actions you feel are needed but in a considered manner.
Together, we'll craft a step-by-step plan, bringing the ephemeral into the material world, giving you actionable steps that are not too overwhelming and giving you better odds of achieving any changes you desire.
Cost for 1 session: €40
Cost for 2 sessions: €70
Why Magic Mushrooms Therapy?
Psilocybin, the psychoactive compound in magic mushrooms, is produced in hundreds of mushroom species growing in countless different habitats across the world.
Magic mushrooms are an ancient medicine. They’re also the focus of a rapidly growing body of scientific and medical research. Over the past decade or so there has been renewed interest from the medial community in psilocybin, and results so far are promising in advanced clinical trials. Patients with proper recommendations can now go to Oregon and take mushrooms in a clinical setting, even before the trials are complete.
Psilocybin and other tryptamines do their magic by affecting the serotonin system in the brain. Without going too deep, psilocybin activates several serotonin receptors found in the brain. This activation is what induces the psychedelic experience. In the right setting, you will likely experience your mind becoming aware of itself. This amazing, often funny, profound and potentially transformative state of awareness is the psychedelic state.
There are many reasons people seek out the psychedelic experience. Your motivation may be one specific purpose or a blend of several from inner healing work to seeking a mystical experience.
If you are unsure what draws you to trying magic mushrooms but you are curious to find out more, please reach out and contact us.
SAFETY
Given its potentially profound effect on the mind, it’s impressive how little psilocybin affects other systems in the body. This feat is one reason why psilocybin has garnered such interest in the medical and psychological industry as a therapeutic psychedelic. Physiologically, psilocybin is very safe, has a very low toxicity (much lower than
that even caffeine, for instance), and induces the psychedelic state for about 4 to 5 hours at a level that many find to be quite tolerable. However, high doses of psilocybin can nonetheless be very powerful psychologically, and for some, overwhelming. That is why we are here to guide you safely through the process.

LOCATION
Just 50 minutes from Lisbon by car, the retreat is located a 20-minute walk from one of Ericeira's favorite beaches. In this serene valley by São Julião beach, I offer in-person, safe, legal spaces for 1:1 (or couples/friends) Psychedelic Breathwork retreats.
This breathwork retreat includes a complementary sacred mushroom ceremony. I keep the prices low so that as many people as possible can experience altered states in a safe, lovingly held space.
CACAO & INTENTION SETTING
The retreat begins with a walk from the beach, where we discuss intentions, allowing clients to start dropping into the experience as we move through the valley.
Once at the cottage, we start with a small, heart-opening cacao drink to ease into the space and aid our connection before the ceremony. A small prayer/offering follows, setting the tone for the journey ahead.
BREATHWORK
We begin and end the retreat with a 15-minute nervous system reset using breathwork and guided meditation, allowing for a deeply tranquil state of body and mind.
THE CEREMONY
The ceremony takes place in a softly lit space, where candlelight casts delicate shadows across the walls. Flowers and ritual elements create a sacred atmosphere.
The medicine is served as an infusion of calming herbal extracts. After drinking the tea, an optional lavender-infused hand massage helps further relax the nervous system. Throughout the session, breathing exercises are introduced to maintain a calm, open state.
You are invited to lie back, relax, and attend to your interior experience for the remainder of the journey.
I will be on hand throughout the 4-6 hour experience, offering non-directive support—from hand-holding to reassuring affirmations—helping minimize the chances of a difficult experience.
As the effects subside, I offer a short massage and provide opportunities to record reflections through writing or audio.
We end when you are ready with a walk back to the beach in a silent meditation.
THE SETTING
Throughout your stay, you will be surrounded by birdsong and the distant sound of crashing waves.
Before working together, I will conduct a pre-screening to check for contraindications, ensuring that psychedelic breathwork is safe for you.
I recommend booking additional preparation and integration calls (or in-person visits) alongside these retreats.
