Microdosing has your attention.

Maybe it was a podcast. A conversation. A workshop. Whatever it was — something made you think: this might be for me.

You're not sure exactly why yet. Maybe you've been feeling a little flat. A little scattered. Less present than you want to be. Maybe it's something more specific — chronic pain, anxiety, a creative block that won't shift.

Whatever brought you here, you're not alone.

11M+ Americans microdosed psilocybin last year — for many different reasons. Below are some of the most commonly reported benefits from real-world users according to a 2025 research review.

You could figure this out alone.
Most people do.

But if you want to skip the trial and error, follow a clear roadmap, and actually feel the benefits — that's exactly what I'm here for.

No accountability
Life gets busy. The protocol drifts. Two months later you're back where you started.
No clean ending
Experiment fades out with nothing to show for it

"I have chronic back pain. What surprised me was how much easier meditation became. The combination felt genuinely different from anything I'd tried before."

My commitment to you

"I believe that most people can benefit from microdosing (but not everyone!). If you work with me for 4 weeks and don't feel like you benefitted, I'll give your money back. No questions asked."

Mahesh Pitchayan

I spent three years as a researcher at the Johns Hopkins Center for Psychedelic & Consciousness Research — the most respected psychedelic science institution in the world.

My mission is simple: normalize microdosing as a wellness practice — the same way we think about meditation, yoga, diet, and exercise. Not a drug. Not a miracle. A tool. When used with intention and proper guidance, it's one of the most accessible paths to greater presence, clarity, and wellbeing that I've encountered.

This program is that belief made practical.

This is for you if…

You're curious about microdosing but want a safe, science-backed entry point
You feel stuck and want to start moving — in your work, your relationships, your inner life
You already meditate, do yoga, or invest in your wellness — and you're ready for another tool
You want to feel focused, creative, and present without overhauling your entire life
You have 30 minutes a week and you're ready to use them differently

This is not for you if…

You're currently tapering off SSRIs or mood-altering medications (a more customized container exists — reach out directly)
You're looking for a quick fix or a shortcut to healing
You want someone to hand you the answers instead of helping you uncover your own
You're not in a place to consistently show up for yourself — even gently
You don't have 30 minutes a week to give yourself

Everything you want to know before saying yes.

Is this legal?
This program provides education, coaching, and support — not substances. Psilocybin sourcing is your responsibility, and I provide guidance on how to navigate that safely. We discuss your specific state and situation on the discovery call.
What if I'm on medication?
If you're currently tapering off SSRIs or antipsychotics, this specific program isn't the right fit — it requires a more customized container. For other medications, we assess on the discovery call. I'll research any interactions on your behalf before we begin.
I've never meditated. Is that a problem?
Not at all. Every session includes a guided practice. You don't need prior experience — just a willingness to slow down for a few minutes. That's the whole point.
How does sourcing work?
After you sign up, you receive a sourcing guide that walks you through what to look for and how to navigate online sourcing safely. We don't begin week one until you have your medicine in hand.
What exactly is the money-back guarantee?
If you complete the program — attend the calls, respond to check-ins, genuinely show up — and don't feel like you benefitted, I'll give you a full refund. No questions asked. The only condition is that you actually do the work.
What happens on the discovery call?
It's a free 30-minute conversation. We go through your medical and psychiatric history, discuss any medications, and you ask anything you want. If we're both a fit, we move forward. No pressure either way.

It starts with a conversation.

Start with a free 30-minute call. We'll make sure you're a fit — no commitment, no pressure. Just a conversation.
