What our clients say

5/5

Cured Long Covid, anxiety and brain fog.

"I approached Sara after seeing her fabulous talk about the research around psychedelics. I'd been struggling with Long Covid symptoms for a while and it was having a huge impact on my mental health. I'd seen documentaries about the potential for Psilocybin to help with many issues I was experiencing including anxiety, OCD and brain fog. I felt immediately at ease with her pharmaceutical background, knowledge and professional experience. I have since attended two of her retreats and followed a personalised microdosing programme. The results have been transformational, it's helped me engage fully in meditation and use my walks and time in nature for insights and mindfulness. I've gained a clarity and calmness that is helping me understand how to heal and regain positivity about my future. I'm eternally grateful for the experience and highly recommend working with Sara for an integrated, safe approach to using psychedelics."

5/5

Lead me from illusion to truth, from darkness to light, and from death to immortality.

"Here I am, a changed human, I feel like I have just broken out of a cocoon of some sort, coming out the other side with a deeper understanding and trust of the Universe. Going into this journey, I was a bit more , let’s say ‘cautious’ as this was my first time. Sara was in touch with me months in advance, guiding me on many things ranging from food recommendations to general advice for the ceremony. Always making sure I felt comfortable for the ceremony ahead. During the ceremony too Sara held the space for us all, with an open heart, setting the stage for the deep dive within. Thank you Sara for all your support throughout the entire process. I really appreciate it!"

5/5

I had such a magical and memorable experience through the macro-dose retreat.

"You can tell Sara and her team put a great deal of effort into the whole process. I could not have felt safer and more at ease, which was everything I needed to really help me let go and trust the process. I couldn't recommend Sara more regardless of whether it's your first time and you're apprehensive, or you're a seasoned psilocybin explorer looking for the right guidance and setting. Thank you for a life-changing experience Sara!"

No more fear and anxiety!

"I’ve been living with anxiety for a while and I was having a really bad time at the moment Sara told me about the Psilocybin to treat the symptoms associated and how it could help during the journey. I’ve never tried mushrooms before, but regular medicine didn’t do much for me. I then tried the psilocybin ceremony on a high dose and then the microdosing. I can tell you that I never felt anxiety again for about the last 5 months. I’m so happy that I met Sara and how it impacted my life quality!"

A life-changing experience with Sara.

"I never thought I would do something like this. Honestly, it was never on my list. But I trusted Sara, and that made all the difference. She created such a safe and welcoming space that allowed me and the other participants to fully relax and surrender to the experience. I had set my intentions, but I hadn’t explicitly focused on one issue that had been affecting me for the past 10 years—severe back pain, to the point of being completely paralyzed at times. During the trip, it was incredible to see these different “windows” where you can reprogram yourself, and wow… What an experience! The result? Since the ceremony, I haven’t had back pain. No discomfort, no tension—just so much more energy! I can’t even describe how grateful I am for giving myself this opportunity. And most of all, I’m beyond thankful to Sara for encouraging me and holding space for me in such a beautiful way. A few weeks later, some discomfort started creeping back, but I began microdosing with Sara’s guidance, and the results have been incredible. No inflammation, no discomfort, just pure energy flowing through me. Two days ago, I even went to the gym, and I honestly couldn’t remember the last time I worked out without pain. It felt amazing! Thank you, Sara, from the bottom of my heart. This has been life-changing!"

The retreat experience exceeded all expectations.

“I attended a psilocybin retreat organized by Sara, the Conscious Pharmacist, and it exceeded all expectations. Everything was so well prepared – combining a warm heart with a highly professional approach that immediately allowed me to feel safe and trust the process. It wasn’t just about the journey itself, but also the supportive environment, the thoughtful details, and the meaningful follow-up afterwards. Both Sara and Patrick provided genuine care and guidance throughout, making the entire experience deeply valuable and transformative. Highly recommended!”

Sara helped me find my way back to myself, and saved my life in 101 different ways.

“It’s hard to put into words what this Goddess Awakening Retreat and these incredible women have given me. I came to Portugal hoping to heal, reconnect with myself and find clarity. I left with a sense of peace, acceptance, wonderful connections and parts of myself that I thought I’d lost. To our hostesses: you have created something far greater than a retreat. You have created a space where I felt completely safe to let go, to cry, to laugh, to release and simply to be, without judgement. Your compassion, love and genuine care are palpable in everything you do. At the end of a ceremony, I looked at Sara with tears in my eyes and said, “You save lives.” I meant every word. You helped me find my way back to myself, and you’ve saved my life in 101 different ways. I will never be able to express enough gratitude for the safe space you have created and maintained. You both have the most beautiful souls and hearts. What you do is more important than you will ever realise. I came here hoping to heal. I left as a changed person." 🤍

This was by far the most revealing and eye-opening retreat experience.

“Of all the ceremonies I have experienced — and I have done quite a few — this was by far the most revealing and eye-opening. The experience was incredibly profound and intense, touching all of my senses. I genuinely feel that something has shifted and that a deep rewiring process has been activated within me, which I am still experiencing and integrating. What made the experience especially meaningful was having Sara there. I felt incredibly safe and supported throughout the entire process. She seemed to intuitively know the balance between the moments when I needed her close and the moments when I simply needed space to go through my own process, while knowing she was there. I am deeply grateful for her presence, continuous support and guidance. Sara is a very special person and soul, and I feel incredibly grateful that our paths crossed. This was a truly powerful and unforgettable experience.”

A very special gift and “A celebration of life“.

“There are moments in your life where you receive a very special gift and this was one of those. The experience was absolutely empowering and I was so glad to have Sara as a guide throughout the journey. The best way I can describe it: “A celebration of life“. Incredibly rewarding for my personal development and struggle with anxiety/depressive episode. Sara created a space where I had room to express no matter what came up and it made me feel so at home. I was just able to rest into being myself throughout the journey. I can highly recommend her as a facilitator for such an experience.”

I can name 101 positive things that have changed in me after the retreat

“Doing the retreat with Sara (aka the conscious pharmacist) is probably one of the best things I did for myself at this stage of my life. If you are at a point in your life where you need a mental reset then I STRONGLY recommend this retreat. It’s backed up by science, safe and incredibly liberating. I can name 101 positive things that have changed in me after the retreat, however I understand each person has a different outcome. I sincerely wish everyone could have the deep refreshing good nights sleep I have now. This retreat is simply outstanding, thank you Sara!”

What I actually experienced was far beyond what I could have ever wished for.

“I just wanted to tell you how grateful I am for the past four days. I was hopeful for great things from the Goddess Awakening retreat, but what I actually experienced was far beyond what I could have ever wished for. I truly thought it would never be possible for me to get past what happened to me, and that I would always suffer from my PTSD. But the mushrooms really showed me that I was ready to release that trauma and let go and welcome peace. And that’s all thanks to Sara, Michelle and Fara. Three amazing beautiful souls who guided me and made sure I was as prepared as I could be to face what my brain needed to show me. I’ll never be able to tell you enough how thankful I am for making this possible. I truly feel like I have been reborn that Lioness I visualised! It’s amazing and I am so excited to start living again! Dancing and laughing and smiling and sharing special moments with loved ones. Also I really felt like I connected with the feminine energy we all co-created over the weekend. The power and strength all of us made was a bond I haven’t felt ever before and it was so special. THANK YOU! ❤

This has been truly life-changing.

“For more than 50 years, living with ADHD has been a constant and often overwhelming struggle. However, with Sara’s guidance and support during and after the microdosing programme I followed, I feel like I have become a completely different person. I can now not only manage my ADHD much more effectively; I’ve learned to embrace it and even use it as a superpower. Beyond that, I have become more relaxed, more loving, more empathetic, more focused, more creative and much more adventurous. I have let go of many of the fears that used to hold me back, and I now feel more confident, open and alive than ever before. The new me truly feels ready to take on the world. Because of how much microdosing has helped me, I have chosen to continue with it as part of my long-term wellbeing journey. I genuinely believe that more people living with ADHD could benefit from exploring psilocybin microdosing with the right guidance, care and support. For me, this has been truly life-changing.”

Sara didn’t just save my life; she helped me transform it.

“After suffering from treatment-resistant depression for more than 10 years, I was nearing the end of my rope. Suicide had become the only “positive” perspective I could see ahead of me. And just when I was getting dangerously close to the edge, a dear friend fortunately introduced me to Sara and Conscious Pharmacist. From the very beginning, Sara gave me the understanding, comfort, support and care I desperately needed to face the depressive challenges I was going through. Following a thorough intake and assessment, she supported me in safely tapering off some of my antidepressant medication, guided me through two high-dose psychedelic experiences that were truly life-changing and deeply healing, and continues to support me with microdosing. I am incredibly proud and grateful to say that I am no longer depressed. Sara didn’t just save my life; she helped me transform it. The outcome has been beyond anything I could ever have hoped for, and words cannot adequately express the profound impact this remarkable pharmacist has had on my life. I sincerely hope that Sara and Conscious Pharmacist will be able to help many more people who are struggling with depression and other mental health challenges find their way back to a healthier, more meaningful life.”

I wholeheartedly recommend Sara to anyone who feels called to explore their healing in a safe and supportive environment.

“I had a private one-to-one ceremony with Sara, and I cannot recommend her enough. Having attended several plant medicine retreats over the past two years, I can honestly say Sara holds an exceptionally safe, grounded, and compassionate space. I felt deeply held, listened to, and supported throughout the entire experience. Her presence made it easy to open, share, and fully trust the process. Sara truly has a calling for this work. She guides with authenticity, intuition, and heart, and it’s clear she is exactly where she is meant to be. Beyond the ceremony, she has become a dear soul sister to me, someone I deeply respect and connect with on this journey. I wholeheartedly recommend Sara to anyone who feels called to explore their healing in a safe and supportive environment.”

Sara is one of the most beautiful things that has ever happened to me.

“For more than two decades, I was scared of almost everything and everyone. Don’t ask me exactly why — it simply became the way I lived. Anxiety was constantly driving me, and it caused enormous suffering and left me living a very limited life. Over time, I developed OCD and PTSD as well. Medication didn’t help me; in fact, it only seemed to make things worse. I reached a point where I felt I was caught in an increasingly negative downward spiral, and I honestly couldn’t see a way out. And then I met Sara; the woman who changed my life forever. It took time, patience and commitment, but with Sara’s loving, compassionate and knowledgeable support, I gradually broke free from the fear that had controlled my life. I overcame my compulsive patterns, worked through my trauma and discovered a completely different way of living. Today, with a huge smile on my face and an incredibly proud heart, I can honestly say that I feel almost fearless. Sara’s care, expertise and extraordinary integration support and coaching have helped me become a version of myself I never thought possible. In many ways, I feel almost superhuman — at least, that’s how I now feel when I look at the life I am living. Sara is one of the most beautiful things that has ever happened to me, and she will forever have a special place in my heart. I truly believe that Sara’s beautiful soul has the power to touch and transform many lives. I cannot thank or recommend her enough, and I sincerely hope she will continue helping people around the world find their way back to themselves.”

A unique way of blending science and spirituality.

“From the very first moment, I was intrigued by Sara’s unique way of blending science and spirituality, something that truly resonates with me. Throughout the retreat I felt completely safe. It was a beautiful experience that sent me home with so much energy and greater clarity about my life & business.”

It brought me so much more than I could ever expect.

“For a long period of time I wanted this to happen, but never dared. Under the professional guidance of Sara I finally dared to do it, and it brought me so much more than I could ever expect. Such an unbelievable joy, which really helped me in many ways! This unique healing experience is highly recommended for anybody who is into getting connection, insights and accelerated healing.”

It was one of the life changing events for me.

“The psilocybin retreat hosted by the amazing ‘medicine woman’ Sara and her co-host Severine, was one of the life changing events for me, as it brought back childhood memories that I could not reach and it helped me to connect with my self, past and future.”

Hope and new perspective for people with neurodegenerative conditions.

"After hearing that a close friend of mine, who is living with multiple sclerosis, had been helped significantly by pharmacist Sara, I decided to give it a try myself. I was hoping to find support for the mental health challenges and mobility limitations I had been experiencing as a result of Parkinson’s disease. I was particularly intrigued and hopeful after reading the emerging scientific research into psilocybin and its potential applications in neurodegenerative conditions, including dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. What followed was one of the most exciting, profound and life-changing journeys I have ever experienced; one that went far beyond anything I had hoped for. I had been living with Parkinson’s for more than eight years, since the age of 53, and had gradually come to see myself as someone defined by disability and limitations. With Sara’s knowledgeable guidance, compassionate care and therapeutic support, that perspective — and much of my day-to-day experience — began to change. The improvements I have experienced in my cognitive functioning have been remarkable to me, and I feel that many of the negative effects of my condition have become far less dominant in my daily life. Most importantly, I feel that I have regained significant parts of the life I felt I had lost to Parkinson’s. I am deeply grateful to Sara for her expertise, dedication and loving care. Based on my own experience, I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone living with a condition that affects their mental wellbeing and quality of life."
