Esencia Plant Medicine & Therapy

Wouter and Aleece provide a professional yet deeply human space for this kind of work. They are calm, grounded, and genuinely supportive individuals who made me feel safe and respected throughout the entire process.

From the initial contact, everything was handled with care: a pre-screening call to discuss intentions, answer my questions, and ensure suitability; then clear guidance about the experience itself. They also offered a convenient transport service from the city, which made arrival much easier and avoided the difficulty and cost of arranging a taxi.

The location is beautiful, with a peaceful atmosphere and comfortable, well-thought-out spaces. The setting contributed to the calm and relaxed mindset necessary for this kind of inner work.

This was my first time with psilocybin, and I felt some anxiety beforehand, but Wouter and Aleece did everything they could to prepare me and create a secure, supportive environment. That made a real difference.

The experience itself was profound and illuminating. It didn’t instantly change my life, but it revealed subtle insights—patterns I wasn’t fully aware of, alternate perspectives I hadn’t considered, and emotional truths that were quietly buried. These realisations are still unfolding and deepening...

They also followed up with me afterwards, showing genuine care about how I was integrating the experience—a step I now recognise as essential. Actual change doesn’t come from the session alone but from how you reflect, journal, meditate, and allow space for what surfaced to settle and guide you.

For anyone who feels called and is not at medical risk, I would strongly recommend this experience—with the right guidance, it can be a powerful catalyst for inner growth.

Aleece and Wouter are really caring and experienced trip sitters. They made sure I was taken care of the whole time, and that there is nothing to be nervous about. It has been a formative experience and I have learnt lots, thanks to the wisdom of the plants, and Aleece and Wouter. If I get the chance I would love to pay a second visit!

Words cannot fully express my gratitude - thank you for hosting. I loved being among the mountains, and it has been a great pleasure to meet you and your beautiful daughter.

Words hardly describe the experience. What’s important, I felt safe and constantly cared for throughout.

It was my first time taking going deeper with psilocybin, and I have no regrets whatsoever.
Aleece and Wouter are amazing people who are truly trustworthy and committed to taking the best care of you. Wouter kindly picked me up from Alicante and brought me to their picturesque location in the mountains. Upon arrival, I was warmly welcomed by Aleece, and we began the retreat.
I felt completely at ease, allowing the psilocybin to work its magic. The experience was profound and transformative. Returning to reality afterward was a joy, as I sat outside with Wouter and Aleece, chatting and soaking in the beauty of the surroundings.
The most crucial takeaway from the experience is to reflect on and integrate the insights and realizations you receive during the session. Make an effort to incorporate them into your daily routine; otherwise, they may fade away.

It was very great. My first experience with magic mushroom, I was pretty anxious but Aleece and Arjan were very efficient at making it a confortable experience for me. It was a wonderful, it really gave me what I was expecting and I'm very glad that I did it. Thanks again, and I'll probably come back next year.
