Embodiment

Working with Alessandro has given me a safe space to unfold, discover myself, and break through the harmful scripts that shaped my life. His patience and nonjudgmental presence guided me through transformative experiences, helping me not just understand them but truly feel them.

These experiences have catalyzed my journey toward self-discovery, and the most profound realization I’ve had is that I have the right to exist as I am, with my own thoughts, feelings, and boundaries. I can’t guarantee anyone else’s experience, but I would encourage anyone to take a chance on working with Alessandro to do their own work and trust that the process will bring out what needs to be brought out.

I met Alessandro through Psychedelic Assisted Therapy retreats where he facilitated. My trust in him and his methods took root there. Later, I experienced three intense but valuable Kambo sessions under his guidance. The complementary nature between my psilocybin and Kambo experiences was fascinating and liberating —two paths deeply reinforcing each other.

Alessandro’s unique, down-to-earth approach was decisive for me. No esoteric nonsense; rather, his sharp, attentive listening and grounded reframing always inspired me. He uses rich, humorous, yet profound and clarifying language that resonates with me. Most importantly: I always feel safe in his hands. Even when he communicates through sounds and instruments, his presence feels protective and creates space for me to go as ‘deep’ as needed. His music choices fundamentally facilitate depth for me.

I’m incredibly grateful for our journey together, including the recent Xanga session which played an important integrative role. In short: respect and gratitude.

A Kambo session with Julie and Alessandro is a powerful physical experience. I literally felt blockages being released in my body. After the mostly intense physical reactions to which you have to surrender, a kind of physical and mental calm comes. I experienced this especially in the days and weeks after the session: no more waking up with intense feelings of fear! Space to make decisions based on feelings! Blessed. It is mainly Julie’s reassuring guidance and Alessandro’s reliable action and presence that made me dare to dive into this new experience and perception!

I learned what it meant to be grounded and not stuck in my head and engage with life instead of fearing it. Regular bodywork sessions combined with my first psychedelic experience brought me to the core, showed me where I belonged, and made me stop fooling myself.

During my first psychedelic journey, I suddenly found myself in labour, giving birth to my oldest daughter again. Needless to say, I was terrified. Luckily, Pauline was there. I could not think of a better sage-femme in the world. Her support, her wisdom, her faith in me. A year later, I can still hear the words she spoke to me. Forever grateful!

My third psychedelic journey helped me heal my mother-wounds. I was shown that my mother, grandmother and great-grandmother struggled with the same as I did. None of us had received the love we needed as a child, and we all had difficulty being a mother. Julie and Alessandro stood by me all along, helping me to overcome the obstacles on the way towards compassion for them. It was a very physical experience, and they helped me to release the tension I had held in my body for so long. I am deeply grateful for their support, and for guiding me towards what I really needed: self-love.
