About the Teacher

Why study with them?

I am a change maker, consciousness guide, and experienced psychedelic facilitator.

Originally from England, I now live in Amsterdam with my family and before this, homes have included Brighton, London, and Granada, Nicaragua.

My life has been a well lived journey, with many interesting twists and turns, from a British boarding school, corporate life in London, an awakening during a few years living and traveling in Central America, and over a decade of working in the non-profit sector on global and local social justice projects. I have really worked from the boardroom to the bush, and everything in between. Along the way have been a few serious burnouts, some broken hearts and a coming out - just to give me a kick and to help me learn, re-wire and grow! Now as a coach and psychedelic facilitator I enjoy supporting people to develop a more conscious and authentic connection with themselves and what’s around them. I truly believe that healing and broadening horizons at the individual level not only fosters individual growth and creativity but actively contributes to the collective of our society.

Psychedelics have been an integral part of my personal development journey. Through them I have experienced wonderful teachings and guidance that has helped me further develop my spiritual presence, my sense of wonder, my creativity, my ability to let go, and to reframe my past. Additionally my regular consciousness practices includes daily meditation, yoga, breathwork and shamanic drum work.

I founded MAGUEY in 2020 as a practice for healing and growth and since then it has been my privilege to assist others on their personal journeys with these plant teachers.

I am the chair of the Guild of Guides Netherlands, the professional association for facilitators of legal psychedelic experiences, and a co-signatory of its Code of Conduct. I am also a member of the coaching and psychedelic working group (formally part of psychedelic research foundation MIND), and a co-signatory of the North Star psychedelics Ethics Pledge.
