Are you struggling to break free from habits that no longer serve you, despite your best efforts?
Do you find yourself stuck in a cycle of addiction, whether it’s to substances, behaviors, or thought patterns?
Maybe you’ve tried to quit before, only to find yourself slipping back into old habits when you get bored or challenged.
You might be feeling frustrated, ashamed, or even hopeless, wondering why nothing seems to work long-term.
Are you ready to take back control and create a more fulfilling, vibrant life?
Addiction is often a response to deep-seated emotional pain, trauma, or unmet needs. It’s a way of coping with feelings that seem too overwhelming to face directly and then this pattern of escaping becomes the norm and you start to crave it.
Whether your struggle is with substances, unhealthy behaviors, or even self-destructive thought patterns, the key to lasting change lies in addressing the underlying issues that fuel your addiction.
Recent research has shown that psychedelics like Psilocybin can be highly effective in treating addiction. Studies from institutions such as Johns Hopkins University and NYU have demonstrated that Psilocybin can help individuals struggling with addiction to alcohol, nicotine, and other substances.
Participants in these studies often report significant reductions in cravings and a renewed sense of purpose and connection, which contribute to sustained recovery. The therapeutic effects are believed to be linked to Psilocybin’s ability to promote neuroplasticity, helping the brain form new, healthier patterns of behavior and thought.
“My addiction to porn started as a way to escape stress, but it quickly became something I couldn’t control. Despite trying various methods to quit, I found myself stuck in the cycle, unable to break free. My wife was besides herself because my urges, usage and interests were escalating.
I was exhausted from it and the sneaking around that came with it, I was fed up of feeling guilt and shame. My relationship with my wife was distant and cold because of it also. So I know I needed something that would work in quitting this time.
The Psilocybin ceremonies were truly transformative. They allowed me to delve into the psychological and emotional roots of my addiction, something I had never been able to fully understand before. With Nicola’s guidance, I gained profound insights into my behavior and discovered the strength to face my addiction head-on.
During the retreat, I managed to quit, and the plant medicine made the process easier than I ever imagined. I was worried when I got back that I might slip but I haven’t.
Since then my relationship has become closer and we are both so much happier. Whilst on the medicine I had insights to better cope with the work stress and pressure I was previously feeling. This retreat provided me with the tools and confidence to continue my recovery and build a healthier, more fulfilling future.

Nicola Beer is not only a therapist with over 15 years of experience in counseling, coaching, trauma-informed therapy, hypnotherapy, transpersonal psychotherapy, emotional bodywork healing, and plant medicine facilitation, but she is also someone who has walked the path of addiction recovery herself.
Growing up in a turbulent and abusive environment, Nicola faced significant challenges that led to a diagnosis of Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (CPTSD), anxiety, low self-esteem, and unspecified eating disorders. These struggles manifested in various addictive patterns, including issues with eating, workaholism, and using alcohol as a way to numb out and escape her thoughts every night.
For many years, Nicola found herself trapped in these unhealthy cycles, unable to break free despite her professional knowledge. It wasn’t until she discovered the transformative power of psychedelics that she was able to truly heal. Through the use of plant medicine, Nicola was able to confront the root causes of her addictive behaviors, learn to genuinely love herself, and find healthier, more fulfilling ways to relax, unwind, and reward herself.
“I’ve been struggling with alcohol abuse and an unhealthy online shopping habit for nearly 20 years. I tried so many times to change and control it, but I always fell back into the same destructive patterns.
Regular counseling, AA and addiction counseling didn’t work for me, I felt labeled and worse just talking about my problems with no solution.
The San Pedro and Psilocybin ceremonies were incredibly powerful both very different but profound.
