  • I'm incredibly grateful that I was recommended by a friend to Psygaia, and then to have the opportunity to talk with Louis before and after my journey. Louis has a very grounded and wise way of listening, gently guiding and offering insightful perspectives. I love that he is very connected to Earth wisdom as well as Buddhism and breathwork. His combination of knowledge, wisdom and compassion is a rare find for those of us wanting to explore psychedelic journeys in a safe and intentional way. I whole heartedly recommend working with Psygaia, no matter where you are on your psychedelic path.

  • Psygaia offered everything I needed to safely dive into psychedelics. Louis and his team offered guidance and support above and beyond anything I expected. I'm honoured to now be part of Psygaia's Circle community and would recommend this offering to anybody interested in exploring psychedelics.

  • Psygaia's Circle has proven to be a source of grounded wisdom and truly exceptional guidance for my psychedelic journeys. Highly recommend working with Psygaia to anyone interested in psychedelics for healing and spirituality.

  • When I first met Louis, his openness and confident vulnerability drew me in. After doing breathwork with him, I saw that guiding others was his true calling. This made me trust him completely for my psychedelic journey. Louis’s peaceful demeanor was calming, and I felt a deep sense of safety with him. As an experienced explorer, I wanted Louis to help enhance and deepen my experience in an integrative way. Our conversations during and after my journey have lightened my path, reducing shame and revealing a core value of compassion. His knowledge of Buddhism, yoga and nature-based traditions has deepened my spiritual practice, teaching me gentleness towards myself. I am deeply grateful to Louis for his guidance and support along my journey.

  • Working with the Psygaia team before and after my journey proved incredibly helpful. It left me as prepared as possible to take the leap and as a result I had the most meaningful psychedelic experience of my life. Among the most useful parts of the consultation was learning a new breathing practice that allowed me to stay grounded throughout the journey. Going forward, that practice has become a pillar of my daily life. I would recommend Psygaia to anyone interested in doing transformative inner work with psychedelics.

    Andrew A.

  • Louis naturally breathes and embodies a presence of deep peace. The breathwork sessions we did together were life changing. A combination of a crystal clear intuition and skillful guidance made me feel safe and held, allowing for a frozen part of me, stuck and hidden in time to open and melt with great lightness and ease. Highly recommended.

Psychedelics can offer insight, healing and growth—but exploring them can be overwhelming without support.

That's where Psygaia’s guidance services come in.

We offer confidential, professional guidance and support to anyone exploring psychedelics intentionally. Whether you're looking to prepare for a journey, make sense of an experience, or explore microdosing, our multidisciplinary team of experts are here for you every step of the way.

While our services are not therapy—we offer compassionate, informed, and professional guidance rooted in a combination of academic and practical training, personal experience as long-time users of psychedelics, and practice as professional practitioners. Our goal is to help you safely and wisely navigate psychedelics, gain valuable insights, and properly integrate them into your life.

How we can support you:

  • Microdosing guidance: Learn to microdose safely and mindfully.

  • Preparation and integration coaching: Get personalized support to prepare for your upcoming journey or to integrate visions, insights, and emotions after your experience.

  • Navigating a spiritual emergency: If you're feeling overwhelmed after a challenging or powerful experience, we’re here to help you stay grounded, find meaning, and move forward with compassion, resilience and courage.

  • Getting started: Not sure if psychedelics, a specific ceremony, or psychedelic therapy is right for you or your loved one? We’ll help you navigate your options with clarity.

  • Expert and holistic knowledge: Tap into our extensive and holistic knowledge of psychedelic science, legal frameworks, traditional and shamanic use, clinics, retreats, and qualified therapists or guides.

  • Contraindications and safety: Get help navigating related and potential pharmaceutical interactions or health considerations.

  • Vetting and choosing: Whether you’re considering a retreat, clinic, or specific facilitator, we can help you make an informed decision for your journey.

Why work with us?

  • Deep expertise: Our team brings together insights from interdisciplinary academic studies, science, Indigenous practices, and lived experience. We understand these journeys deeply and are committed to supporting you with integrity and compassion.

  • Holistic approach: We don’t just focus on the psychedelic experience itself—we help you connect the dots between your intentions, experience, and real-life healing and growth.

  • Personalized support: Every journey is unique, and our coaching reflects that. You’ll receive one-on-one support that’s fully tailored to your needs, aspirations, and concerns.

  • Judgment-free space: We honour your path, and we're here to listen. Whatever your questions, goals, or hesitations, you can feel confident knowing that our conversations are safe, confidential, and rooted in compassion.

Our approach is rooted in our philosophy and the understanding that the psychedelic experience is multidimensional: personal but also collective, spiritual but also biological. We recognize that the effects of these experiences ripple far beyond ourselves—impacting our families, communities, culture, and societies. While we fully support your integration, we encourage self-responsibility and inner listening, honouring your sovereignty and autonomy. Our role is not to impose beliefs but to support your unique journey of discovery, growth, and healing through intentional inquiry.
