Looking for the path to becoming who you truly are?
Welcome to Homecoming
A life changing women-only programme with a 5 day Psilocybin Retreat at its heart.
30 September - 4 October 2024
Looking for clarity? True balance?
Real happiness? Deep connections?
Creative spark? Purpose?
There are countless ways to find answers - for us, our journey with psychedelics opened doors to profound insights and transformations.
But remember: while these substances offer incredible potential, psychedelics are powerful. Each experience is unique. With us, you'll explore these depths in a safe, respectful environment, whilst exploring the potential of newfound horizons.
You're not just looking for an experience - you're seeking transformation. And this could be exactly where you find it.
Come on in…
…if psychedelics could be the answer you've been searching for, especially after trying so many other things. You’ve healed and grown, and life is good. But still, there’s a niggling feeling that something's missing.
We get it. We've both been in your shoes.
We took a bold step and it was a game-changer for us. It shifted our perspectives in ways we couldn’t have imagined. In fact, it’s almost impossible to put into words – and that’s why we've built this programme for you.
No fancy jargon, no over-the-top promises. Just a space for you to explore and maybe, just maybe, find what you've been looking for.
Ready to take the next step? We're here for you.
Welcome aboard.

Meet Naz & Rachel
We’re Naz and Rachel, and we’re both experienced coaches certified by the Psychedelic Coaching Institute. Naz specialises in women's empowerment and relationships, and Rachel helps women navigate the twists and turns of midlife, turning the challenges life throws our way into opportunities for new growth.
A decade or so ago, things were very different!
Rachel's Story:
From high stress London to tranquil country living, my life back then couldn't be more different to where I am today.
The life I loved in my 20s and 30s had become exhausting, and my heart wasn’t in it anymore. Toxic workplaces and the constant battle to balance work and family life led to anxiety and burnout… and the return of unhelpful patterns of reactivity.
Yoga and talk therapy were getting me nowhere fast. The turning point came when I discovered that trauma is stored in the body - and that one of the most effective ways to integrate it is using MDMA. My journey’s been a rollercoaster – dark moments intertwined with awe-inspiring ones. But it’s been well worth it. Life today: walking in the woods, meaningful work, and a serene life rhythm.
Crossing paths with Naz in the rainforest felt like fate: our mission now is to help other women discover the transformation we've both been fortunate to experience.
Naz's Story:
Life looked great on paper.
Devoted friends, a loving partner, and a thriving business running exotic retreats.
Yet I couldn’t shake off my daily anxiety and unsettling moods. My doctor proposed antidepressants, but I knew I needed to find a different answer.
When I came across Aylet Waldman's book on microdosing LSD, I decided to dive in. The results? Almost magical. The once-crippling anxiety faded, and my days found new vibrancy. But the true insight? I realised my life was not fully aligned. I'd been capping my own potential without knowing it.
With renewed clarity, I embraced change - challenging old norms, redefining my business, and trusting my instincts. Every choice was a step towards a more fulfilling life: richer experiences, deeper connections, and greater impact. Meeting Rachel in Costa Rica felt like destiny.
Together, we're driven to share our learnings, inspiring more women to kindle their own transformations.

One of the best experiences I've had, well thought out from preparation to integration. I was seen, heard, held and supported throughout. Rachel and Naz are a dynamic duo and their care and attention to detail was spot on. I highly recommend them.

Want to know more? Here's how…
Booking onto Homecoming is a straightforward process
1. Apply: First things first, we prioritise your health and safety and make sure that this type of experience is suitable for you. Fill out a brief application here.
2. Call: We’ll ping you a link for a quick chat or if you have questions you can book in now!
3. Book: If we're a good match, secure your spot. You can choose to pay in full or spread the cost with a payment plan.
Here's why we stand out:
Expertise Tailored to Women: As coaches who cater specifically to women, we get the unique challenges you face. We'll support, and yes, give that nudge when needed. Where many retreats leave you hanging post-experience, we actively coach you through it, ensuring you reap the full benefits and embed real change.
Beyond Words: We dig deeper into integration, helping you tap into your imagination and intuition. We’re not just about journaling; think archetypes, embodiment, dream-work, and even the creative arts. With psychedelics, words often aren’t enough. We ensure your experience is multi-dimensional.
Commitment to Lasting Change: Change isn't a one-time event. Post-retreat glow is great, but real transformation? That takes time. While many retreats offer fleeting epiphanies, we’re with you for the long haul - 9 full months of support.
Community Matters: Real transformation is amplified when shared. Before and after the retreat, we make sure you’re connecting with incredible, like-minded women. This isn’t a one-off meetup; it’s the beginning of lifelong bonds.
Safety is Paramount: Venturing into the world of psychedelics requires trust. We promise intimate, women-only spaces, teaming up with our trusted network. You're not just safe; you're surrounded by people who genuinely care.
Unforgettable Retreat Experience: We’re not about basic. We focus on creating an enchanting environment with comfy settings, mouth-watering meals, and a world-class team to guide you. Every moment with us is designed to feel magical.
Enough waiting. Enough settling. Enough sidelining your desires.
Leap into a transformative journey, one that rediscovers the essence of you.
Reignite the connection to what truly resonates.
Take that pivotal step towards the change you've yearned for.
We're not just inviting you; we're calling you back to where you belong. Home.
Answer the call. Reclaim yourself.
About Women are the Medicine
Taking the leap to explore psychedelics is a deeply personal choice, and doing it safely and with the right people is crucial. We founded Women are the Medicine to offer a completely different experience from the overcrowded ceremonies, unethical facilitators and lack of follow-up support we encountered:
By Women, For Women:
We’ve created this space just for women, understanding our unique needs and the challenges we face.
Intention Times Two:
Setting the right intention is essential. We assist in refining yours and add our own: guiding you towards clarity, joy, and wholeness.
True Integration:
Beyond journaling, our integration coaching blends archetype, story, somatics, emotional regulation, and creative expression.
Deep Reverence:
Your journey deserves care, respect, and the right setting. This is an experience you don't want to mess up. With us, you’ll experience the transformational power of psychedelics in a safe, secure, and nurturing environment.
Community Matters :
Healing happens in connection with others. We emphasise the importance of community, providing a space to form deep bonds and grow.
The Long Haul:
Healing is a journey, not an event. That’s why we offer nine months of preparation and integration coaching, plus continued meet-ups for shared growth and support.
