Self-Esteem & Self-Acceptance: Discover your true self, unlock your inner strengths, enhance body satisfaction, identify your motivations, and devise strategies to evolve into the person you aspire to be.

Stress management, Relaxation & Mindfulness: Master effective coping mechanisms for stress, and harness the power of your mind to reduce daily stress through practical relaxation and mindfulness techniques.

Clinical Hypnosis: Experience the transformative power of clinical hypnosis, an exciting and powerful way of addressing psychological challenges in a secure setting with a skilled specialist.

Psychedelic experiences/integration: Post-psychedelic experiences open the door to significant, lasting change. Realizing this potential calls for active engagement.
