Alicia Vera Garcia

Overview

Alicia Vera Garcia is an Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) therapist and microdosing coach who offers one‑on‑one psychedelic truffle journeys, microdosing coaching and integration support. Based primarily in Amsterdam with a retreat location in Tarragona, Spain, she guides clients throughout Europe in working safely and consciously with psilocybin truffles and other legal plant medicines. Alicia draws on her professional background as an integrative health practitioner and over a decade of experience as a mental‑health nurse to help individuals reconnect with their bodies, hearts and inner wisdom. Her approach was inspired by her own healing from PTSD and depression using ayahuasca and psilocybin mushrooms, leading her to become one of Europe’s first microdosing coaches in 2020.

Alicia’s coaching emphasises preparation, intention setting, guidance during the psychedelic experience and structured integration. She offers tailored programmes ranging from a single 1.5‑hour microdosing consult to multi‑session coaching journeys of up to ten sessions over several months. Each programme combines ACT, Voice Dialogue, mindfulness and evidence‑based practices to help clients break entrenched patterns, cultivate clarity and nurture personal growth. The truffle ceremonies she facilitates include a one‑hour preparation session, a ten‑hour guided ceremony with supportive music and mindfulness, and a one‑hour integration session; they are offered for individuals, couples or small groups in Amsterdam or Tarragona and are designed for deep healing and insight.

Best for

Alicia’s services are suited to adults who have engaged in personal development but still feel stuck, disconnected or burdened by stress, burnout, anxiety, depression or past trauma. She works with people seeking greater clarity, focus and self‑compassion, including professionals in caring roles who carry high levels of responsibility. Her one‑on‑one truffle journeys are appealing to those who prefer a private setting over group retreats, while her microdosing coaching programmes support individuals exploring low‑dose psychedelic use for wellbeing and creativity.

  • Adults experiencing burnout, stress, anxiety or depressive symptoms
  • Individuals seeking to integrate past trauma or emotional overwhelm
  • People wanting to break persistent behavioural patterns or restore connection with themselves
  • Professionals in healthcare or social sectors needing clarity and resilience
  • Clients interested in private, guided microdosing or truffle experiences

Approach

Alicia integrates ACT with somatic and experiential techniques, tailoring each programme to the client’s needs. Preparation begins with an intake to explore personal history, intentions and any safety considerations. During microdosing consultations she offers grounded guidance on choosing substances, protocols and dosages, whether clients are starting anew or refining an existing practice. For those seeking more comprehensive support, her Core, Deep and Intensive coaching journeys span three to ten sessions over several weeks or months; these programmes combine ACT, Voice Dialogue, mindfulness and shadow work, provide online journals and meditations, and include personalized integration plans.

Truffle ceremonies are approached as sacred self‑inquiry rather than recreational experiences. Alicia and a co‑facilitator hold a calm and supportive environment for ten hours, using ACT, trauma release exercises and mindfulness to guide participants. Ceremonies include preparation and integration sessions and may be booked for one person, a duo or a small group. Throughout the process, Alicia emphasizes safety by working only with legal substances (psilocybin truffles, caapi and 1P‑LSD) and by collaborating with medical professionals when needed
