Frequently ask questions

What is Conscious Evolution?

Conscious Evolution is the philosophy that sits at the heart of everything I offer.

Greater awareness leads to greater choice. As we become more conscious of our thoughts, beliefs, habits and patterns, we gain a deeper understanding of ourselves, recognise our potential and create a life that feels more balanced, fulfilling and aligned with who we truly are.

How do I know where to start?

The best place to start is with a free Clarity Call.

It’s an opportunity for us to have a relaxed conversation about where you are right now, what feels important to you, and what you would like more of in your life.

Together we can look at the different practices, retreats and forms of guidance available and see what resonates most strongly with you.

There is no pressure and no obligation — simply a chance to ask questions, gain a fresh perspective and discover what feels right for you.

Do I need any previous experience?

No.

Whether you’re new to conscious breathing, meditation, yoga, retreats, psilocybin or energy practices, you are welcome exactly as you are.

Many people arrive feeling curious but unsure where to begin.

Every practice, retreat and session is designed to meet you where you are, with clear guidance, practical tools and the freedom to discover what inspires you.

Curiosity is far more important than experience.

What is Guidance?

Guidance offers an opportunity to pause, reflect and bring greater awareness to your life.

Whether you’re moving through a period of transition, navigating trauma or grief, or simply ready for a new chapter, seeking greater purpose, fulfilment and potential, these conversations create an opportunity to look at life from a fresh perspective.

The focus is on helping you develop greater awareness, trust yourself more deeply, and move forward with more confidence, resilience and self-respect.

Through conversation, reflection and practical tools, Guidance encourages self-discovery, helping you recognise your own wisdom, uncover new possibilities, and make choices that reflect your values, priorities and aspirations.

Can I book a single session or is Ongoing Guidance available?

Yes, both options are available.

Brainstorm Your Life is an extended one-off session designed to help you move from the micro to the macro. It’s an opportunity to get everything out of your head and onto the table, connect the dots, and gain a clearer understanding of where you are and where you would like to go.

Sometimes one powerful conversation is all that’s needed.

At other times, a deeper level of exploration can be valuable. Ongoing Guidance allows the conversation to continue over time, helping you develop greater awareness, confidence, resilience and self-respect as you navigate life’s transitions, face new challenges, and move towards greater purpose and fulfilment.

Available as a series of sessions over several months, or through a structured six-month or one-year programme, Ongoing Guidance provides the time to build on each conversation, deepen your understanding of yourself, and turn insights into meaningful action.

Is Guidance therapy?

No.

Guidance is not therapy, counselling or medical treatment.

Guidance combines conversation, awareness, accountability and practical action to help you better understand yourself, navigate important stages of life, and move towards what matters most to you.

Guidance is often sought during times of transition, uncertainty, grief, personal growth, or when there is a desire for greater purpose, fulfilment and self-understanding.

Is everything confidential?

Yes.

Everything discussed during sessions is treated with respect and confidentiality.

The only exceptions are rare situations where there is a legal obligation to disclose information or a serious concern about someone’s immediate safety.

Exploring Psilocybin

What is the difference between microdosing and macrodosing?

Microdosing involves taking very small amounts of psilocybin, typically without noticeable psychedelic effects. Many people use microdosing alongside everyday life as part of a broader commitment to awareness and personal development.

Macrodosing involves larger amounts of psilocybin and produces a more noticeable shift in perception and awareness. This approach is usually undertaken within a dedicated ceremony or retreat setting.

Both approaches can be valuable, and guidance is available to help you understand the differences and decide which approach may be most suitable.

Do I need any previous experience with mushrooms?

No.

Many people are completely new to psilocybin when they first enquire.

Curiosity, openness and a willingness to learn are far more important than previous knowledge. Preparation is included, and there is plenty of opportunity to ask questions before making any decisions.

What if I feel nervous?

Feeling nervous is completely normal.

For many people, stepping into something unfamiliar naturally brings a mixture of curiosity, excitement and uncertainty.

Taking time to ask questions, understand the process and discuss any concerns beforehand often helps build confidence and trust in the process.

Is preparation and integration included?

Yes.

Preparation and integration are considered important parts of the process.

Preparation sessions provide an opportunity to discuss intentions, expectations and practical considerations before a ceremony or retreat.

Integration sessions take place afterwards, helping you reflect on what you learned and consider how it may relate to your daily life moving forward.

Are private ceremonies and bespoke retreats available?

Yes.

Private ceremonies, one-to-one guidance and bespoke retreats can all be arranged.

These can be tailored for individuals, couples, friends or small groups who would prefer a more personal setting.

Enquiries HERE→

Are psilocybin mushrooms legal in Spain?

The legal position surrounding psilocybin in Spain is complex and continues to evolve.

While psilocybin itself remains a controlled substance, Spanish law has historically taken a different approach to private consumption than many other countries. Public possession, trafficking and commercial supply remain illegal, while private use has often been treated differently under Spanish legal practice.

Because legislation and interpretation can change, anyone considering psilocybin should familiarise themselves with the current legal position and seek independent legal advice where appropriate.

Questions about legal considerations, retreats, ceremonies, microdosing and guidance can also be discussed during a free Clarity Call.

How do I know if psilocybin is right for me?

The best place to start is with a free Clarity Call.

This provides an opportunity to discuss your circumstances, ask questions and understand the different options available.

For some people, psilocybin feels like a natural next step. For others, guidance, meditation, conscious breathing or a retreat may be more appropriate.

The aim is to help you understand the different options available and make an informed decision.

Can I combine psilocybin with Guidance?

Yes.

Many people combine psilocybin with Guidance before and after ceremonies or retreats.

Guidance can help with preparation, integration, accountability and ongoing reflection, creating an opportunity to build on what has been learned and apply it in a meaningful way over time.

Which retreat is right for me?

Each retreat has its own focus, setting and rhythm.

Some are centred around stillness and meditation, others combine movement, conscious breathing, nature, adventure or psilocybin.

If you’re unsure which retreat would suit you best, a free Clarity Call is a great place to start. Together, we can discuss what’s happening in your life, what you’re hoping to gain, and which retreat may be the best fit.

Can I come on my own?

Yes.

Many guests attend on their own, while others come with a partner, friend or family member.

Retreats often bring together people from different backgrounds and stages of life, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere where lasting friendships are often formed.

Do I need previous experience with meditation, yoga or conscious breathing?

No.

Everything is designed to be accessible to beginners while still offering value to those with more experience.

Curiosity is far more important than experience.

Whether you’re completely new or have been practising for years, you’ll be guided in a way that meets you where you are.

Do you cater for dietary requirements?

Yes.

Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and most dietary requirements can be accommodated with advance notice.

Is there a payment plan available?

Yes.

Payment plans are available for most retreats and can help spread the cost over several months.

If you would like to discuss payment options, please get in touch HERE→

What is the cancellation policy?

A 30% deposit is required to secure your place on a retreat.

The remaining balance is due two weeks before the retreat begins.

Deposits are non-refundable unless the retreat is cancelled by the organisers. In some circumstances, payments may be transferred to a future retreat.

Full cancellation terms will be provided before booking.

Are private or bespoke retreats available?

Yes.

In addition to the scheduled retreats, private retreats can be arranged for individuals, couples, friends and small groups.

Scheduled retreats are intentionally kept small, creating a more personal atmosphere and allowing everyone to receive individual attention throughout their stay.

If you’re looking for something tailored to your own interests, goals or circumstances, please get in touch to discuss the available options HERE→
