My journey isn't for everyone. But if any of the above resonates, you may be in the right place.

Back in 2017 I was told I had a "chemical imbalance" in my brain. 9 days in "intensive care" psychiatric unit I came out having been treated for a "mood disorder".

Bipolar was the label that I believed to have "earned" after that experience - though funny enough, the word "Bipolar" wasn't even written on the exit paperwork. I didn't even realise this until checking it during my mental health integration phase in 2025, after I had quit my antipsychotic medication for more than 8 months.

This is more than a "quit psychiatric medication" story. This is potentially a "misdiagnosis" story, but it most definitely is a "self-leadership" and "natural/alternative healing" journey - of someone that also happens to have experienced (lots of) psychedelics.

Back in 2017, I consumed a lot of LSD. I'm not ashamed about it - not any more ashamed than anyone should be for drinking alcohol or smoking. The law (or lack of scientific research) is not a benchmark for what's good for the mind or body - otherwise "low sleep", fast food and processed sugar would be illegal. In fact, I was actually consuming LSD as a "replacement" for alcohol, because it was a much better experience, it was much safer, and it was also cheaper: triple high-impact win!

I'm not encouraging anyone to do anything illegal. I'm not encouraging anyone to quit medication without proper medical supervision, either.

But I do acknowledge that there is a big problem in mental health in the 21st century, and my story is one of resilience and hope that can maybe mean the difference between life and death for someone. So I share - openly - because I'm honest and I've learned a lot along the way.

Despite having one more episode of mania in 2019 (and this time I was in hospital for 25+ days), I never really believed that I "was Bipolar" nor that I "had a broken brain". This led me down the path to keep investigating and keep improving myself over the years.

I wanted to get to the bottom of "understanding WHY" did I experience these mental symptoms (mania and grandiosity - most definitely - and psychosis... supposedly) and land in the psychiatric hospital at the age of 24?

Being an engineer (mechanical) by university degree training, I've always thought of the human being as some kind of "machine" or system. That overly simplifies the "spiritual" component, but there is a point to sharing this. You, as a human being, are always behaving in a way that makes sense given your genetics, programming, and environment. If you don't know why you are having certain thoughts or behaving in a certain way, there is space for investigation (both theoretical, through books and courses - as well as experiential, through intuition, emotions and inner clarity).

Fast forward many years of self-learning, inner work, and other life experiences - I've been able to (1) rewrite the story of my diagnosis (2) come off of antipsychotic medication at the end of 2024 and (3) be more psychologically stable now than I've ever been.

It isn't a linear journey. I've been there. And navigating the complexities of it is what I bring to the table.

Psychedelics are optional - but possible and in a legal setting (Netherlands in Europe, working with psilocybin truffles). Most of the inner work is actually without psychedelics though.

My offer is very simple. Unlimited preparation. Unlimited integration. Co-creating the best experience for you, balancing the insights from the latest in science and your own intuitive, spiritual, inner knowing.
