About Paul Menze

My mission is 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.

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. 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 centred on 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.

Paul Menze's approach to integration

I developed my unique way of coaching based on my background in psychology, therapy, coaching, meditation, and breathwork. I also draw on my own experiences of using psychedelics for professional, personal, and spiritual growth for over 25 years. I will be there along the way to provide guidance and confidence, with the understanding that a large part of creating lasting change depends on your intrinsic motivation, quality of attention, and willingness to change and invest your time wisely.

Sessions are designed to help you develop the trust, strength, and feeling of security necessary for an effective and purposeful journey of growth and change.

You will also receive guidance on having the best possible integration of this experience in the weeks afterwards.

We will use the first four sessions to get insight into your values, personality structure, mission and vision in life, current life circumstances, and goals for the future. We will also identify any obstacles in your belief system which may prevent you from receiving the full benefits of the experience. Of course, we will discuss your expectations for the experience and make sure that you are in the right mental state beforehand. We will also design a personalized plan for the four integration sessions following the psychedelic experience in order to translate and integrate the insights from the trip into your daily life.
