Not All Microdoses Are Created Equal: Matching Substance to Client
Not All Microdoses
Are Created Equal:
Matching Substance to Client
That’s how clients end up with anxiety, overwhelm, and veering towards being worse off than when they started seeing you.
Psilocybin, LSD, Huachuma, iboga, and ketamine each do different work on different nervous systems. Choosing between them isn’t about preference. It’s about skill, and the nuanced difference between a practice that compounds over time and one that quietly causes harm.
In this free live training, learn how to choose the right microdosing substance for the client in front of you.

Turning Somatic Signals Into Embodied Shifts
Gentle Support, or Accidental Destabilization?
Six weeks in, she’s not sleeping. She’s snapping at her son over nothing. The headaches started in week three and haven’t let up.
What you missed: she didn’t need a stimulant. She needed something to settle her nervous system before it could handle being asked anything else. Huachuma would have done that. LSD made everything worse, faster.
Microdosing isn’t lower-stakes than high-dose work. It’s longer stakes, small mistakes compound across weeks of daily or every-other-day dosing. The damage I’ve seen most often in this field comes down to practitioners not knowing what they don’t know about substance selection.
That part is teachable & this training is where you’ll begin to learn it.
What You'll Learn:
1. How each of the five substances actually moves through the body, and why “5-HT2A agonist” tells you almost nothing useful as a practitioner
2. The intake questions that surface whether a client’s life circumstances and physiology can handle the substance you’re considering
3. How dosage and schedule interact with substance choice, and why protocols that look identical on paper produce completely different outcomes
4. The contraindications most practitioners don’t catch, plus how to course-correct when a client’s protocol is already going sideways
5. Why I now recommend Huachuma over psilocybin for most clients dealing with chronic nervous system dysregulation

ABOUT US
Why Learn From the Psychedelic Coaching Institute?
Now the gold standard in professional psychedelic training, we have taught hundreds of practitioners to master the skill of psychedelics since 2021.
Founder Paul F. Austin recognized a critical gap: more and more well-meaning people were interested in becoming practitioners, but few had the education, hands-on training, ethical clarity, and marketability to become credible and make a positive impact.
The Psychedelic Coaching Institute came into existence to close this gap by training the next generation of psychedelic leaders. We grew from our sister company, Third Wave, which has been a trusted resource for psychedelic education for 10+ years.
Today, we blend science, spirit, and skill to give our certified practitioners a comprehensive toolkit for preparation, facilitation, and integration. Paul’s expertise in intentional microdosing, in particular, guides many of our core methodologies.
We offer two flagship programs:
- Practitioner Certification Program, a rigorous journey to psychedelic mastery
- Microdosing Practitioner Certification, an accessible entry point into psychedelic facilitation
Rooted in a nervous system-first approach and equipped with entrepreneurial gusto, Psychedelic Coaching Institute practitioners are defining the future of this third wave of psychedelics.
