The Team On A Mission
-
Founder & CEO
I believe the biggest health threat we face today is our disembodied lifestyle. Most of us live exclusively from the neck up — leading, pushing, and thinking — until the body and mind eventually break.
Fueled by my own story, I found a way from misery to self-authoring my way to a meaning-full life and vibrancy.
To share these approaches, I founded Kinisi. Providing a rigorously safe way back to the self.Somatic (body) work is the number one tool to creating the life you want to have, and psychedelics– if done right – are the shortcut to achieving that.
I’m passionate about truth-led living, leadership, longevity and peak performance.

Kinisi A-Team Facilitator
I am very closely involved in the guided use of psychedelics. Both the scientific literature and my own experiences show that these substances can be enormously valuable in raising awareness, experiencing, and giving meaning to emotions, memories, tendencies, and patterns. Because of this, psychedelics could significantly accelerate the flow of treatment within many mental healthcare settings.
At the same time, I urge great caution. After all, the substance itself is only one part of the therapeutic process. Essential are thorough preparation, in-depth knowledge of the resources, insight into side effects and interactions, and expertise in emotion regulation, attachment trauma, and systems-oriented work. Therefore, I believe therapeutic application can be incredibly valuable, but should take place within a professional framework.

Kinisi A-Team Facilitator
I firmly believe that the use of psychedelics in a guided context can lead to o huge breakthrough and accelerated personal growth. Not only have I experienced this myself, but also the travelers I have accompanied endorse this. I have been in the mental health industry for decades and I have completed several courses to guide people under the influence of psychedelics. As a facilitator, I do not guide the journey, I hold the space where inner wisdom remembers the way.
I am from the Netherlands and I speak Dutch and English. I understand German, French, and Spanish to some extent, but I don’t speak them very well.

Kinisi A-Team Facilitator
"The deepest journey you will ever take is a journey to yourself"
With over 30 years of experience as a psychotherapist and psychologist, I work with adults, couples, and small groups. I am deeply fascinated by the human psyche and curious about what shapes each person’s inner world.
In 2024, I expanded my professional training at the Integrative Psychiatry Institute in the United States. This advanced program focuses on learning to carefully and responsibly facilitate psychedelic-assisted therapeutic processes, as well as on developing the professional skills and ethical foundations of the role of a psychedelic facilitator.
I offer a safe, empathetic, and professional space where we work together toward a meaningful process of transformation and integration. A psychedelic-assisted process can offer meaningful support for both personal and professional questions

Somatic Enrichment Advisor
Dr. Paula brings a unique and multidisciplinary background to her work as a somatic educator. Before dedicating herself fully to the healing arts, she worked as a lawyer and human rights researcher, gaining deep insight into social structures, human resilience, and the importance of embodied autonomy.
Her extensive training spans a wide range of modalities—including energy work, yoga, tantra, and body-psychotherapy—which inform her integrative approach to somatic work. These diverse disciplines form the foundation of her teaching, which integrates scientific understanding, trauma sensitivity, and a deeply experiential approach to personal and relational transformation.
Paula is the founder of the Institute for Tantra and Bodywork Journey Within in Berlin. She has trained thousands of people and practitioners in conscious touch, emotional regulation, and embodied intimacy. Today, she leads a team of more than 20 certified body-therapists who offer sessions and workshops on embodiment, empowerment, authenticity, relationships, intimacy, and pleasure.
What the team says
-
Kinisi combines forward-thinking vision with the highest standards of care I've encountered in my six years of working with organizations offering psychedelic guidance. From the customer journey and communication to supporting materials like workbooks — and especially the level of attention and responsibility shown toward both clients and facilitators — Kinisi is consistently several steps ahead. I love working with people like Sophie, who brings incredible thoroughness and a kind heart to everything she does. This partnership is a true source of joy and enthusiasm!

Working with Kinisi is an absolute pleasure. From the very first moment, I felt a genuine connection that sparked joy in me. They are professional and well-organized, which gave me a strong sense of support. As a guide, this allowed me to fully focus on the client and their wellbeing. The journeys they create are thoughtfully designed and beautifully cared for. Everything is taken care of with such attention, making the whole experience safe, warm, and deeply nourishing.

From the first moment it felt safe, truthful and welcoming. There was an immediate connection. Everything is well arranged including the workbooks, preparation and integration calls! I feel grateful that I can guide/facilitate the psilocybin sessions in the Netherlands with the help of Kinisi, everything was picked clean. Looking forward to guide more people!
