Coachees’ Experiences
At FLO Coaching, we believe that lasting change goes beyond just a good conversation. Transformation begins when you not only understand what wants to shift, but truly feel and experience it. It calls for an experience that works on a deeper level and sets you in motion.
Below you can read the experiences of people who have done a truffle journey with us. They share how this journey has helped them find more fulfillment and connection in their lives. Their stories give you an inspiring picture of what a psychedelic experience can mean for you.

A safe and familiar feeling
“In October I did a journey with Lotte. The preparation was thorough – we had extensive email contact and she sent me a detailed workbook, which gave me a lot of insight into what to expect. Although you naturally have to dare to let go of control during the journey, this preparation gave me a lot of confidence.”

Linda – Testimonial Transcript
A few months ago, I had a truffle ceremony guided by Lotte. It was truly magical – not only the journey itself, but also the place where Lotte lives and holds her ceremonies.
She creates a cozy and comfortable space in the garden where you can begin your journey in complete safety. Lotte never leaves the space – she remains present throughout the entire experience. You always feel her presence, not in an overwhelming way, but in a gentle and supportive way, as only an experienced facilitator can. And she certainly is one. Thanks to her expert guidance, I experienced a magical journey during the truffle ceremony.
The support was complete – before, during and after the ceremony. This complete support makes you feel seen and heard, and everything that happens during the experience is accepted without judgment. It feels like coming home to a sacred temple where you can fully surrender to your journey without fear of judgments or thoughts of what should or should not be.
Lotte creates such a safe space, exactly what I needed for my journey. It felt good, nurturing and very comfortable. As a facilitator, she enabled me to have the most magical and amazing first journey I could possibly imagine. I am incredibly grateful to Lotte for this wonderful experience and for her guidance throughout the entire process – before, during and after the journey.

A new friendship with myself
“I struggled for a long time with questions about my personal drives and motivation. I knew something had to change, but couldn’t pinpoint exactly what or how.
The coaching program with Floris completely changed this. His sharp questions and focused preparation got me to the heart of what I wanted to explore. During the psychedelic session, he created a safe environment in which I could be completely myself. The result was life-changing: I formed a new friendship with myself. In the weeks that followed, Floris helped me apply these insights practically in my daily life, with concrete and achievable goals. This has resulted in greatly grown self-confidence and a newfound appreciation for myself.
For anyone looking for deep personal development, I highly recommend this program. Floris is an excellent sparring partner who coaches you to valuable insights with the right questions. The combination of his empathetic attitude, professional guidance and practical approach makes this a transformative experience that really makes a difference.”
Maarten, 35, Netherlands

Lieke – Testimonial Transcript
I recently took a truffle journey at FLO Coaching under Lotte’s guidance, and it was a special experience. The whole setting felt safe and warm. Lotte had paid great attention to all the details, and from beginning to end I felt fully held. The preparatory session was very valuable; in it we could discuss my intentions in detail and it became clear what I could expect.
The journey itself was not only special, but most of all very pleasant. I experienced it as a loving and peaceful experience. The location, set in nature, contributed significantly to the experience, as did Lotte’s excellent guidance and care. Therefore, I can highly recommend it.
Felt right at home
Evelien approached FLO Coaching during a turning point in her life. As a young entrepreneur, she was on the cusp of turning thirty and struggling through a turbulent year in which both her personal life and her business had challenges. She was looking for a way to reflect on this period not only mentally, but also physically and emotionally.
The program with Floris turned out to be exactly what she needed. She especially appreciated his scientific approach to psilocybin and his background as an entrepreneur, which was a refreshing alternative to more spiritually oriented approaches. During the guided truffle session, she was able to dive deep into her core values and vision for the future in a safe, warm environment.
The result was surprisingly valuable: not only did she gain clarity about her five most important core values and how they can guide her decision-making, but the program also provided her with practical tools to deal with future challenges. Later, when she actually experienced adversity, she felt prepared and resilient. The combination of deep reflection, practical coaching and forward-thinking guidance made this a valuable investment in herself that she experienced as a true gift.
Evelien – Testimonial Transcript
I am Evelien and last year I did a coaching program with FLO Coaching, the Balance program. It was a gift to myself. I had had an eventful year and was about to turn thirty. A lot had happened, both privately and in my business.
Already at the introductory meeting I had a very good click with Floris. His expertise and scientific approach to working with truffles immediately appealed to me. I was specifically looking for someone who did not work from a woolly or spiritual perspective, but rather from a business angle. His experience in coaching entrepreneurs and his own background as an entrepreneur, combined with his scientific knowledge, perfectly matched what I was looking for.
During the guided truffle journey, I immediately felt at ease. The setting was pleasant and during the session I was able to dive fully into my own space. With music playing in the background, I was able to explore my core values. This approach, which allowed me to thoroughly explore five core values and see how they are reflected in my life, was very valuable. It helped me better understand how to make future decisions that align with these values.
The support was complete – before, during and after the ceremony. This complete support makes you feel seen and heard, and everything that happens during the experience is accepted without judgment. It feels like coming home to a sacred temple where you can fully surrender to your journey without fear of judgments or thoughts of what should or should not be.
The coaching taught me to think more critically about challenges and how to deal with them. Even during periods when everything was going well, Floris asked critical questions that helped me think about possible setbacks and how I could deal with them. This proved incredibly valuable, because when actual setbacks came later, I was prepared and better able to handle them.
Helped by a fellow entrepreneur
“The coaching has taught me to think more critically about challenges and how to deal with them.”
“For me, I was really looking for someone who didn’t approach it from a kind of floaty perspective […] but mostly very businesslike.“
Evelien, 30, Netherlands
Complete program
A shared journey
“It felt like a shared journey where you are not alone, which is essential for such a profound and transformational process.”
“The insights I gained during the ceremony, I am still working through in my daily life.“
Nikki, 32, Netherlands
Nikki participated in a truffle ceremony at FLO Coaching and praised our comprehensive approach that goes beyond a simple quick fix. She especially appreciated the thorough preparation process, which helped her set clear intentions for her transformative journey. Under Lotte’s warm and skillful guidance, she felt completely safe during the ceremony, which she described as a shared journey rather than a solo experience.
The insights she gained during the ceremony continue to influence her daily life and help her approach challenges with new perspectives. She emphasizes how the program structure – including preparation and integration sessions – contributed to a truly eye-opening experience, expressing her deep gratitude for the opportunity to undergo this transformation under Lotte’s guidance.
Nikki – Testimonial Transcript
During FLO Coaching’s truffle ceremony, I underwent a huge transformation. FLO Coaching’s method is particularly valuable because it is not a quick fix, but a complete program. They begin with an intake and preparation session in which you are thoroughly prepared for the truffle ceremony.
This preparation helped me enormously in setting my intentions and what I wanted to work on. During the ceremony I noticed that these themes returned in a deeper way. Afterwards, an integration session followed to anchor all the insights.
I felt very safe throughout the ceremony with Lotte, who proved to be a warm and capable coach. It felt like a shared journey where you are not alone, which is essential for such a profound and transformational process.
The insights I gained during the ceremony, I am still working through in my daily life. Now when I encounter challenges, I consciously pause to reflect on those experiences and apply the new insights. This has changed my whole perspective and positively influences how I approach new situations. It was a valuable experience that has been an eye-opener for me on many levels, and I am very grateful that I was able to experience this with Lotte.
Acceptance and personal growth
“During my journey, I experienced profound insights about acceptance and personal growth. In my session I learned to accept things I cannot control, including a meaningful interaction with light that taught me to work with what is available instead of fighting against it.
My journey brought me insights about existence and the importance of not having to have all the answers, which led to a calmer state of mind. I noticed improved mental health and am grateful for the guidance I received.
Although I would have preferred in-person preparation, the online sessions proved valuable given the distance. The multiple preparatory conversations helped me set clear goals and provided essential guidance.
The integration of my experience resulted in noticeably less stress in my daily life, and I feel more rooted in the present and better able to process past events.”
Alperen, 26, Netherlands
A journey to repeat
Free to share everything
“There was plenty of room to be open about what came up, both during the journey and afterwards.”
“I’m sure I’d like to do it again in six months or a year from now.“
Ambi, 30, Netherlands
Ambi especially emphasizes the importance of personal attention and a safe environment during her journey. In her testimony, she speaks of the fully present guidance and sense of security she experienced during the ceremony.
What especially touched her was the holistic approach – from the ceremony itself to the aftercare, including a nourishing meal and an extensive follow-up conversation in which all experiences and insights could be calmly processed. This attention to the complete process, with room for sharing all the experiences that presented themselves, made it a valuable and transformative journey for her.
Ambi – Testimonial Transcript
My first experience with psychedelics was with Lotte of FLO Coaching, and I am incredibly grateful to have been able to share this unique experience with her. Lotte is a fantastic facilitator and hostess. She is grounded, really takes her time and is fully present – her full attention was with me throughout the entire process.
I felt very safe and secure with her. There was plenty of room to be open about what came up, both during the journey and afterwards. Afterwards, she took extensive time to talk together about my experiences and what I had encountered. She also provided a nourishing meal and stayed involved.
It was a special experience that I definitely want to repeat again, probably in six months to a year from now. If I do, I will, without a doubt, choose Lotte as my facilitator again.
Exactly what I needed
Dariana did a truffle ceremony for the first time at FLO Coaching and was deeply touched by the thorough and careful approach. She especially appreciated Lotte’s extensive preparation process, including a phone meeting to establish connection and intentions. The ceremonial space provided a serene environment where she felt completely at ease.
She emphasized how Lotte’s balanced presence and guidance during the journey created a safe space for deep inner work. The integration process, including the follow-up discussion and a follow-up call, helped anchor the profound inner shifts.
Dariana – Testimonial Transcript
In August I did a truffle session with Lotte, and it was a truly special experience. As a first-time participant, I was quite tense, but Lotte’s approach immediately put me at ease. She began with a phone introduction to gauge if there was a click and to discuss my intentions. My goal was to find more connection with myself.
The session space was serene and soothing – exactly what I needed. After a short grounding exercise, I felt completely at ease. Lotte’s presence during the journey was perfectly dosed; she was there when needed, without ever being intrusive. This allowed me to let in everything that presented itself.
The impact of the session was profound. I feel a lot has shifted inwardly. The follow-up conversation was valuable, and the follow-up call after two weeks helped tremendously in integrating the experience.
For anyone considering really looking inward and getting to know themselves better, I highly recommend FLO Coaching. Lotte’s calm and loving guidance helped me gain valuable insights. I am very grateful to her for that.
The first coaching with truffles
“The impact of the session was profound. I feel a lot has shifted inwardly.”
“Lotte’s presence during the journey was perfectly dosed; she was there when needed, without ever being intrusive. This allowed me to let in everything that presented itself.“
Dariana, 27, Netherlands
Practical steps to move forward
“The coaching process helped me clearly identify what areas of my life I wanted to work on, and gave me concrete and practical steps to move forward. This gave me direction and then progress. It also provided a safe space for me to discuss personal issues, gain clarity and learn more about myself. What stuck with me the most is how I was guided in identifying my values, as well as some very useful practical exercises to gain more insight into my finances.
During the preparation, Floris helped me identify and deepen my values, and this formed my intention (namely, to reconnect with my values). This intention also emerged during my session, and afterwards helped me gain clarity about my actions. It helps to use my values as a compass when making decisions in my life. This has been really helpful in supporting me in living a life that aligns with my values.
Overall, I found the mix of reflective exercises (identifying values) and practical actions (creating spreadsheets to track work hours, income and expenses), along with someone to discuss things with, a perfect mix and balance.“
John, 35, England
An experience like no other
“The coaching process has been great. It made me think clearly about my intentions and what I want to change and improve in my life. Of course, the most important and memorable part was the psychedelic session itself. That stands out as an experience like I have never had before and as an incredibly enjoyable one.
The psychedelic session was very intense and almost entirely enjoyable. I didn’t have one overarching insight, but I came out of it with a new sense of agency and the realization that everything is up to me. The feeling of lightness and ease I had in the days that followed also motivated me to try to experience these feelings more often.“
Emile, 30, England
Time to take action
“For me, the coaching program was all about my career. During the psychedelic session, I gained the insight that it was time to take action and not let myself be held back by negative beliefs like ‘I need more experience to achieve something’. That felt very empowering and activating. And also that I get to enjoy the process of exploring.
Actually, my biggest insight came during one of the preparatory sessions. The psychedelic experience didn’t change or add very much to that, other than a confirmation of that idea. During the integration sessions we started to work it out further, which was very nice. Also to have an extra push to take certain steps.
Floris offered a very pleasant and safe environment that made it comfortable to relax and surrender to the experience. Through the coaching program, I came up with an idea and gained the confidence to actually carry it out.”
My journey brought me insights about existence and the importance of not having to have all the answers, which led to a calmer state of mind. I noticed improved mental health and am grateful for the guidance I received.
Marie, 29, Netherlands
Exploring the ‘why’
This is now the second time I have done this coaching session. The first was 4 years ago. What has stayed with me most from the first session is that I actually got to work with the solutions I came up with. It was suitable to keep working with in the long term, and so to also make a difference compared to the past. This is in contrast to previous solutions I had come up with, where this worked less well.
My experience is that in the session you go much deeper into the “why,” precisely where in daily life I focus much more on the “how.” By getting to the bottom of the “why” I notice that I am better able to stick to the agreements I have made with myself. In my personal case, after exploring the “why,” it turned out to be effective to maintain my schedule better. A simple solution, but in my case a very logical one, that gives me a lot to hold on to. In my opinion, such a solution is only effective if you have thought it through carefully. In the long term, this has made a lot of difference for me as well.
I am more aware of patterns and rhythms in my life that are negative. I am getting better at recognizing moments that lead to them. This doesn’t mean that everything goes right the first time. For me it’s about taking small steps in the right direction each time. The psychedelics and online coaching have given me the insight and helped me a lot to choose the right path.
What I personally really appreciate is that Floris is a good listener and lets you search for the answers you are looking for yourself. In the session, he has the necessary tips and tools that make sure you can get the most out of it.”
Simon, 27, Netherlands
Putting health before work
“The coaching program began with some curious questions, after which Floris laid out a clear path, gave me homework and things to think about, and a description of what the whole experience might be like. What stuck with me the most: Phew, that’s quite a question! A lot, almost too much to describe. But one example is how much I had ignored and neglected my emotional and physical needs for the sake of my career. I noticed how tired my body was, I felt things again that I normally don’t let surface like this.
As I mentioned, how much I had ignored and neglected my emotional and physical needs for the sake of my career. I noticed how tired my body was, I felt things again that I normally don’t let surface like this. I will try to feel my body more often and be open to the pains or discomforts that I normally don’t really notice.“
Robin, 31, Netherlands
