## About Psilocybin

### What are the benefits of psilocybin mushrooms?

People often explore psilocybin for perspective shifts, emotional insight, and habit change. Whether it is an appropriate path depends on context, screening, and the kind of support around the experience.

### Are psilocybin mushrooms safe?

Psilocybin is considered low-risk when used responsibly in a safe setting. Every program begins with a medical screening to review your situation, medications, and overall fit.

### Are psychedelics legal?

Laws vary by country. Retreats take place in Portugal, and Sara is also certified in the Netherlands, where psilocybin truffles are legal. Coaching programs are virtual and available worldwide, and clients should still check local laws.

### Can I take psilocybin combined with my medication?

Sometimes, but it requires careful review. Sara personally looks at current medications, especially anything affecting serotonin, before recommending a path forward.

### Is it safe if I have a health condition?

That depends on the condition. Heart, brain, and mental health concerns can require extra caution, which is why your health history is reviewed before anything begins.

### Do you work with MDMA, Ketamine, or other psychedelics?

Not at the moment. The practice currently works exclusively with psilocybin mushrooms.

## About the Experience

### What can I expect from a psilocybin journey?

A psilocybin journey can help you explore thoughts and emotions with more openness and less avoidance. Preparation and integration support are part of the process.

### What is the difference between microdosing and a high ceremonial dose?

A microdose is about one-tenth of a full dose and is meant to stay sub-perceptual, so daily life can continue as normal. A ceremonial dose is a deeper guided experience designed for more intensive inner work.

## About Microdosing

### What is microdosing?

Microdosing means taking small, controlled amounts of psilocybin as part of a structured routine. The goal is to support well-being, focus, and self-awareness without disrupting daily life.

### What are the benefits of microdosing?

People often explore microdosing when they want support with mood, focus, creativity, stress, or burnout. It is approached here as a structured, consultative process rather than a quick fix.

### Is microdosing safe?

For most people, microdosing carries fewer risks than a full dose because it avoids strong psychedelic effects. It can be a gentle place to start, especially when screening and guidance are included.

## Getting Started

### Where do I start?

Start with the free 30-minute intake call. It is virtual, confidential, and designed to help you choose the right path.

### What happens after the intake call?

You leave with a clear recommendation. That might be this program, a different option, or waiting until the timing is better.

### How many sessions do I get?

Microdosing Coaching is a structured 12-week guided program with 12 weekly one-hour sessions, medical intake and screening before you begin, and integration support throughout. It is presented as one fixed program rather than an open-ended monthly plan.
