Why I use Psilocybine: from Python to Droomvlucht and a reality check.

Some people wonder why I work with psilocybine, when my offerings often revolve around sensuality, touch, and connection. For me, the two are deeply intertwined.
Psilocybin can help you connect with yourself. It invites you to honestly look at who you truly are, beyond learned roles, expectations, and protective layers. When you're more in touch with your own truth, space arises for gentleness, clarity, and self-love.
And that's precisely where a fulfilling love life begins. Not with someone else, but with yourself. Because only when you truly meet yourself can you truly open yourself to connection with another. From presence instead of need, from choice instead of loss.
Sensuality, intimacy, and love then become not goals in themselves, but a natural expression of who you are. Love for yourself first. From there, love for another can blossom.
So... s*x, plant medicine and connection, that's what my life is about.
Omniscient source?
For years, I felt there had to be more knowledge than what I gleaned from books and documentaries. A source you could tap into that hadn't been written down by someone else first. But how do you connect with that omniscient source?
From the 1990s onward, I saw all sorts of movements claiming to have the key. The knowledge supposedly came from nature, could be seen in maps, or emerged from numbers. I found almost no real connection with any of the methods. I devoured books like The Celestine Prophecy and The Secret, but I wanted more.
The eternal designated driver
I never cared about drugs. Not when I went to legal and illegal house parties in the nineties, and I always avoided regular recreational drugs as well. The people I saw dancing didn't radiate what I was passionate about. Years passed. I became a mother, went through difficult times, and was left to fend for myself. I felt in every sense: there had to be more.
Honestly? I was mortified at the thought of having to tell my grandchildren that their hippie grandmother had never actually tried a plant medicine. So, with my unborn grandchildren in mind, at the age of forty-five I finally sought out an Ayahuasca ceremony.
Ibiza and the scorching unrest
I was terrified. What if I went psychotic? I never win anything, but I already pictured myself as that one person in the world who would succumb to that drink, ending up in a white suit with straps.

I ended up experiencing two ceremonies in Ibiza. They gave me wonderful, life-changing insights, but oh my, did they go fast. It was all-consuming. After a few hours, I didn't want to go anymore. I wanted peace, away from the hustle and bustle, away from the vomiting people, and especially away from the noise. It took three weeks for all my chakras to realign. I knew one thing for sure: I'll never go so fast and deep again. I sometimes compare Ayahuasca to the Python from Efteling, while truffles feel more like Droomvlucht to me.
The softness of psilocybin
But that beautiful feeling of unity, that love for Mother Earth, and the absence of hate... how could I continue to tap into it without that total chaos? After extensive research, I discovered truffles, also known as the active ingredient psilocybin.
This was the depth I was looking for. It gives me connection, but also control. I'm not completely at the mercy of the storm. In my travels, I can ask my ancestors for advice. Incidentally, they don't always treat me gently. My mother, who died in 2013, still responds during my travels exactly as she did when she was alive. And my father? He's usually too busy with other women to speak to me. So, in reality, little has changed, and yet answers emerge to life's questions that are much bigger than the daily grind.
Magic in menopause
Since my travels, my life has become much more magical. I'm more in tune with my intuition, which makes my life feel more authentic. I'm accepting my body as it changes, which is a wonderful bonus when you're going through menopause.
Menopause is forcing me to adopt a new way of seeing and acting. My energy has diminished, forcing me to adapt my approach. But what's the right way? What helps is staying focused and eliminating everything that doesn't contribute to that focus. Where I used to do fun things for fun, I now need more space for myself and rest. Where I used to be able to work from six in the morning until ten at night, I now have to take a power nap and be in bed by ten. If I don't, I pay a high price. The truffles give me the peace to simply be and stop rushing.
Will you travel with me?
I understand that travel isn't for everyone. But maybe it is for you. For those seeking more authenticity and nuance in life's situations.
My approach to coaching is down-to-earth, loving, and caring. It's the same way I like to travel: I want soft and warm surroundings, I want the water to be boiling, and I want everything to be taken care of. During my own travels, I often missed the physical contact of a loving massage, so I offer it to travelers, along with a co-creator. Only when it's appropriate, only when it's enjoyable, because you are the focus.
At the same time, I can be firm: thank you doesn't need to be said, and I don't avoid conversation. I lovingly support you in staying in your own process. Wouldn't you like to be in places in your subconscious that you've never been before?
I hope to see you on a trip.
Love,
Christina
