Neils’ spiritual practice is primarily informed by the decade he spent living in Peru. During this time, he worked extensively with indigenous shamanic traditions of the Shipibo, Mestizo, and Quechua cultures. He has created, directed, and facilitated many Ayahuasca retreats throughout Latin America and guided thousands of clients through their personal plant medicine journeys.
Those who have worked with Neils are inspired by his deep sensitivity and connection to earth energy and spirit. He embodies an innate gentleness and profound trust in each person’s process and has a unique way of guiding other towards their sacred, heart medicine. He incorporates elements of Somatic Experiencing, IFS, Compassionate Inquiry, and a heart-based, humanistic approach in his work supporting plant medicine. The core of his work is centered around gently guiding clients back to presence, deep acceptance, and trust.
At heart, Neils is a traveler and a seeker. He is passionate about honoring indigenous traditions and facilitating the remembrance of ancient wisdom. Neils is deeply committed to his mission to help others reconnect to self, source, reciprocity, and deep liberation.
You can tell he works from the heart. He is highly experienced and trained, he's done so much personal development and he is exactly the energy you need around you during ceremony. He's also a beautiful singer and guitarist which is such a treat post ceremony, he's light, fun and funny when you need him to be, and his breathwork is insane. There is much to learn from him, if you can't do the retreat, you should consider trying his coaching!

Deepest gratitude for you
Neils is a dream come true kind of guy. He is so grounded and solid in his being yet vulnerable and communicative about himself. I feel his strength as he is such an important anchor for the group during the ceremonies. His compassion and loving heart really add to the safety felt during the entire retreat. His availability for questions or heart-to-heart conversations to help process experiences is a great comfort. Thank you Neils

Kind and committed
Neils and Francesca are like a warm hug, compassionately holding themselves and others in the light of truth. The ayahuasca retreat was unlike any other work I’ve done. I highly recommend the experience for anyone looking to expand their heart. I’ll certainly do this again!

Legend!
What a sincere, compassionate, dedicated Man he is. An old soul, who gives his entire self to helping others. It’s like talking to your very best childhood friend. Someone who focuses on you completely when you’re with him. Deeply spiritual and innately connected to what you need. He just wouldn’t quit on me. I couldn’t have made it through without his gentle loving kindness and support. Thank you Brother!!!
