Magic Mushroom Guide
Professional therapist/Psychologist
Psychonaut
I am originally from the Netherlands but currently living and working in Tibi, Alicante, Spain. I work as a psychologist where I treat people with depression, anxiety and trauma. I also have experience in working with different types of addiction. As a psychologist I work with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment (ACT) therapy and Heartcoherence training (therapy focused on breathing and recovery). Important values for me in contact/therapy with others are connection, compassion and humour.
Besides being a psychologist, I am a Mindfulness trainer with great interest in Magic Mushrooms and the use of both in the healing of a client. Personally, psychedelics have brought me a lot. An important part of the psychedelic experience is its integration into your daily life. I hope to be able to support people in their process of healing.
Magic Mushroom Guide
Professional therapist/Psychologist ; 14 years experience
Born in the Netherlands, currently living in Alicante. I love to work with people, to join them for a little while on their journey in live. I have experience with a lot of different kind of therapies; Cognitive Behavorial Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment therapy, Schema focusedTherapy and body centered therapy. Besides all the different kind of therapies I believe that the most important thing is to really connect with people, that is where I am good at and what I love to do. The use of magic mushrooms make this even more possible.
I have experienced myself how amazing plant medicine can work in the healing process. So I really want to create a safe space for people to undergo the healing effects of psychedelics and help to integrate all the insights in daily life.
To do this together with my partner, that is really a dream come true.

Highly recommend it
I am very happy with my experience, I was very cautious when browsing for a trial and took me a while to decide. From the first contact I felt in good hand with Aleece and Wouter. I liked their professionalism during the screening , the communication and the quality of information provided . You can tell they have a lot of experience and they are very honest on what to expect. There are so accessible it felt like I knew them forever when talking to them. What amazed me is that they really care about your experience and make sure you make the most of it, their presence made me feel safe . I couldnt dream better facilitators for this experience and hope I ll have an other chance to do it again. Final note, the music was amazing and the place really nice as well as the setting . Thank you so much Aleece and Wouter you helped me feel better and this is priceless :)

A transformative experience in a safe and welcoming space
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.

Meaningful and therapeutic in a safe environment
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.

Trust, Transformation, and Tranquility
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.
