About me
My name is Paul Menze, and my mission is to help individuals unlock the full potential of their psychedelic experiences. With over 20 years of experience guiding people through both individual sessions and group retreats, I specialize in providing the support necessary for meaningful preparation and integration.
Since the late 1990s, I have been organizing and facilitating sessions with Psilocybin truffles, Salvia Divinorum, Ayahuasca, San Pedro, and other psychedelics, particularly in small, intimate groups. During that time, the legal framework in the Netherlands allowed for the use of these substances under the right circumstances, giving me the opportunity to explore and refine my approach within a safe and supportive context.
In 2002, I earned my Master’s degree in Psychology from Utrecht University, with a focus on drugs and addictions. My academic journey included conducting research on the safety of Psilocybin and writing a thesis on Ayahuasca in ritualistic and therapeutic settings. Following my studies, I worked in two rehabilitation clinics before establishing my private practice in 2005.
Over the years, my focus has evolved. While my early career was centered around therapeutic work, I gradually shifted towards helping healthy and resourceful individuals enhance their lives by cultivating greater awareness and structure around their true aspirations. In 2019, I became an accredited master coach, expanding my services to offer online coaching, making my expertise accessible to a broader audience.
Whether through in-person sessions, retreats, or online coaching, my goal remains consistent: to support you in harnessing the profound insights psychedelics can offer, and to help you integrate those insights into a more conscious, purposeful, and fulfilling life.
