-
Intentional microdosing is for those who feel called to work with psychedelic medicines in a gentle, mindful and purposeful way. It’s not just about taking the medicine—it’s about weaving microdosing into your life with clarity and intention. I help you create a personal approach that aligns with your goals, whether you’re seeking emotional balance, expanded creativity, or to break free from old patterns.
I offer this because I’ve seen how microdosing, when combined with self-awareness and integration work, can create real shifts. It’s a supportive companion to holistic coaching, and while it’s not for everyone, it can be a powerful tool for those who feel called to explore it.

Microdosing is most powerful when it’s held with care and intention. A guide creates a safe and supportive space for you to explore, so you can move beyond trial-and-error and into meaningful transformation.
With a guide, you receive:
Clarity & confidence — gentle guidance on protocols, dosing, and what to expect.
Intentional focus — anchoring your practice in what matters most to you, so the shifts ripple into daily life.
Integration support — space to process insights, emotions, and breakthroughs as they arise.
Accountability & rhythm — steady encouragement to keep the practice consistent and alive.
Compassionate presence — someone walking alongside you, so you feel less alone in your journey.
✨ A guide doesn’t do the work for you—they simply hold the container, helping you access your own healing intelligence with greater ease, depth, and trust.

While each person’s experience with intentional microdosing is unique, common outcomes include:
Gaining clarity on personal obstacles and potential solutions.
Recognizing and reducing behaviors rooted in limiting beliefs and past experiences.
Reframing life authentically, prioritizing self-truth over seeking external validation.

Microdosing doesn’t numb or suppress your emotions—it enhances your awareness, helping you process limiting beliefs and difficult feelings.
This can lead to profound transformations, like uncovering subconscious thoughts, gaining clarity about your true self, breaking through emotional blocks, and feeling a deep sense of connection.
When done intentionally, microdosing can cultivate presence, gratitude, and self-love while reframing limiting beliefs to support personal growth.
Because your experience depends on your mindset and environment, it’s important to approach microdosing with mindfulness and have support available throughout your journey.

Microdosing involves taking a subperceptual dose of psilocybin on a structured schedule, creating subtle shifts that can enhance mood, cognition, and overall well-being.
🔹 Brain & Neuroplasticity – Psilocybin interacts with serotonin receptors, promoting neural growth and flexibility, which can support new thought patterns and emotional resilience.
🔹 Default Mode Network (DMN) & Ego Dissolution – Research using fMRI has shown that psilocybin reduces activity in the DMN, the part of the brain linked to self-referential thinking and a fixed sense of self. This can lead to more expansive, flexible thinking and a deeper sense of connection.
🔹 Emotional Insight & Healing – By quieting mental rigidity, microdosing may help process deeply held beliefs, reframe limiting patterns, and enhance emotional awareness.
🔹 Cumulative Benefits – Consistency and intentional reflection over time lead to the most meaningful changes.While research is still evolving, studies suggest that psilocybin’s effects on brain connectivity play a key role in its transformative potential.

The legality of microdosing depends on where you live. In most countries, psilocybin is still classified as a controlled substance, making its possession and use illegal. However, some places have decriminalized or allowed its use in specific contexts:
🔹 Decriminalization – Cities like Oakland, Denver, and Seattle have decriminalized psilocybin, meaning it's still illegal but law enforcement deprioritizes prosecution.
🔹 Legal Frameworks – Some countries, such as the Netherlands, allow the sale of psilocybin truffles, which can be used legally.
🔹 Medical & Research Use – In Canada and parts of the U.S., psilocybin may be available for clinical or therapeutic use with special approval.Before microdosing, it’s important to understand your local laws. Always research the legal status in your area to make informed decisions.
-
Microdosing is generally not recommended for individuals who:
🔹 Have certain mental health conditions – Those with a history of psychosis, schizophrenia, or Bipolar 1 should approach microdosing with caution, as it may exacerbate symptoms. However, research is ongoing into the potential therapeutic use of psychedelics for some of these conditions under professional guidance.
🔹 Are on specific medications – If you take medication for mental health or other serious conditions, it’s important to consult with a healthcare professional to check for potential interactions.
Taking a mindful, informed approach ensures both safety and effectiveness.
