Psychedelics for Women

Deepen your connection with your sense of womanhood through psychedelics, body awareness and cyclical living

Nine out of ten women I speak to say they are looking for more balance. But what they truly long for is to feel connected to themselves again.

No one loses touch with herself overnight. It happens very gradually. Every time you say “yes” when you feel “no”. Every time you keep going when what you really need is rest.

Often, it is your body that first lets you know you have been overlooking yourself for too long. A tense body. A mind that keeps going. Moments when you feel exhausted and empty.

And sometimes, nothing is ‘wrong’, but you long for a deeper connection with yourself and with what is going on inside you.

I support women who long for a deeper connection with themselves, their bodies and their sense of womanhood. Women who want to live in a way that reflects what they feel, long for and know deep down. As an ACT therapist with 12 years’ experience, I combine therapeutic knowledge with my expertise in psychedelics and body-based work. In my practice, I offer microdosing coaching, in-depth truffle ceremonies, and support with preparation for or integration of a psychedelic journey.

Perhaps you recognise the pattern of always carrying on, caring for others and adjusting yourself to others. Without realising it, you may find yourself increasingly putting your own needs aside and losing touch with them. If you carry on like this for a long time, your nervous system may find it increasingly difficult to settle. This may show up as prolonged stress, low mood or feeling overwhelmed. It may also show up as physical symptoms related to your menstrual cycle, hormones, menopause or pelvic area.

Through my work, you learn to feel what feels right for you again. You learn to recognise your inner yes and no, and to listen more closely to your body’s signals. There is also space to tune in more closely to your menstrual cycle and your own natural rhythm. This helps you stay true to yourself, even when there is a lot happening around you.

Sometimes this means looking beyond what you are used to. Psychedelic truffles may help you not only understand what is happening, but also feel and experience it more deeply. I combine psychedelics with evidence-based tools from ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) and body-based techniques for nervous-system regulation.

This is not only for when you feel stuck or are experiencing symptoms. Perhaps everything seems fine on the surface, but you feel drawn to explore more deeply, make a change or live more consciously.

My story

In August 2021, I was sitting in my GP’s surgery when I felt everything inside me fall silent. I was diagnosed with lichen sclerosus, a condition I had to learn to live with. As a young woman, it affected my sense of womanhood deeply.

Looking back, I can see how significant that moment was. Physical symptoms can feel raw and confronting, especially in an area as vulnerable as your pelvis. Yet I dared to see my symptoms as an invitation. This led me towards a much deeper connection with myself, my body and my sense of womanhood.

Psychedelics played a significant part in this. They deepened my process and helped me not only understand what was happening within me, but truly feel and experience it.

“Lotte is a wonderfully kind, professional and trustworthy coach. She takes time for you and offers personal, attentive support, with a real gift for putting processes into clear words. I immediately felt at home with her. Her calm presence was exactly what I needed during this journey. Thank you, Lotte, for this beautiful experience, which gave me insight into the ‘tapestry of my life’ and the new colours I can add.”

“What a beautiful experience my first truffle journey was. Lotte is a natural space-holding queen in her own authentic way. It felt so good and gave me enormous trust, because I was quite nervous. She helped me settle gently into the welcoming space. The process had already begun beforehand, with the intake, questions and setting an intention. Getting to know the truffles by preparing them together brought a sense of gratitude and respect. So beautiful. My session was in July, and looking back now at the end of December, I still enjoy the feeling it gave me and that I took away to reconnect with, supported by the GIFT card from her deck. Staying overnight is absolutely worth it, so you can remain in that slower pace in a quiet, beautiful, colourful garden.”

A truly transformative journey

After years of personal development through coaching, meditation and yoga, I was still searching for a deeper connection with myself. I had heard a great deal about the transformative power of psychedelics, but kept wondering whether it was the right step for me. It felt daunting, but I was so curious about what the experience might offer me. Naturally, I was nervous before my first psychedelic experience, but Lotte’s non-judgemental and loving guidance gave me confidence straight away.

In her welcoming garden room, surrounded by nature, I felt safe enough to begin the journey inward. Through her calm presence, I was able to surrender fully to the process. That deep sense of safety and trust opened the way to a truly magical experience, in which I was able to experience an entirely new state of consciousness. The beautiful colours and music enhanced the journey, even as I moved through deeper layers and emotions. It felt as though my senses came alive in a completely new way.

Her careful preparation and aftercare helped me process and integrate my experiences into daily life. This first encounter with psychedelics helped me feel more connected to myself and relate to my insecurities differently.
