Why San Pedro? A Protocol Designed for Nervous System Mastery

Most microdosing protocols focus on dosage. Ours focuses on design — weaving together a flexible framework with the unique intelligence
of San Pedro (also called Huachuma), a heart-opening, grounding medicine used ceremonially for centuries.
This is the first protocol of its kind:
Not just psilocybin or LSD.
This is the first microdosing protocol centered on San Pedro:
a gentle, embodied ally trusted for emotional clarity and nervous system support.
Built for regulation,
not stimulation.
Ideal for burnout, anxiety, and sensitive clients who need calm over intensity.
No one-size-fits-all schedules.
You’ll learn to calibrate dosing, rhythm, and support to meet each client’s unique capacity.
More than the microdose. Somatic practices — breathwork, cold exposure, and body-based integration — are built in from the ground up for deep, embodied transformation.
The only protocol to combine San Pedro with somatic practices. This unique combination offers a grounded, integrative path to long-term change.

The Microdosing Movement Is Accelerating, Creating Unprecedented Demand for Skilled Practitioners

Microdosing has rapidly evolved from a niche practice into a recognized approach to wellness and personal development. As more people discover its benefits for focus, creativity, emotional regulation, and personal growth, they’re actively seeking qualified practitioners who can guide them safely and effectively.
The Numbers Tell a Clear Story:
Public interest continues to surge: Over 3 million Google searches for microdosing in 2023 alone, a staggering 1,250% increase since 2015*
The wellness market is rapidly evolving: The global psychedelic sector is projected to reach $8.3 billion by 2032, growing at over 13% annually**
Microdosing is going mainstream: In 2023, 8 million U.S. adults used psilocybin — and 47% reported microdosing during their most recent experience.***
This growing imbalance between demand and qualified practitioners creates a significant opportunity for those who position themselves with credible training and proven protocols.
By becoming certified in the Psychedelic Coaching Institute’s microdosing methodology, you’re not just learning a skill—you’re preparing to meet a genuine need in the marketplace while creating profound positive impact.

Everything You Need to Know About the Certification

Everything You Need to Know About the Certification

This program is for aspiring, emerging, and experienced practitioners who want to guide others through microdosing safely, ethically, and effectively. Whether you’re brand new or already working with clients, you’ll receive the training, structure, and tools to start offering microdosing guidance as a paid service with confidence.
Absolutely! We’ve designed this program to be accessible for both experienced coaches and complete beginners. We start with foundational skills and provide plenty of guided practice opportunities. Many of our most successful graduates come from non-coaching backgrounds and bring valuable perspectives from their previous careers.
Personal microdosing experience is highly encouraged — we believe in walking the walk before guiding others. That said, it’s not required to enroll. The program includes a guided 6-week microdosing journey so you can experience the protocol firsthand. If you’re unable to participate due to health or access reasons, reach out and we’ll explore possible alternatives.

Three key differences set our certification apart:

  1. You’ll learn Paul F. Austin’s signature protocol that integrates nervous system regulation and somatic practices with microdosing
  2. We focus on practical application with extensive supervised practice
  3. You’ll graduate with a complete microdosing offer, ready to launch and serve clients
Your consultation with Joseph Anew, our Career Advisor and a PCI graduate, is a personalized conversation to explore whether the Microdosing Practitioner Certification aligns with your goals. He’ll ask about your background, answer questions, and offer honest feedback about whether this is the right program for you.
Yes — there’s a one-time, non-refundable $49 application fee, which helps us ensure a thoughtful admissions process. If accepted, this fee is applied toward your tuition.
This program is designed for motivated, values-aligned individuals who are ready to engage fully. We don’t require prior coaching experience, but we do look for a strong personal connection to the work, readiness to learn, and alignment with PCI’s ethical standards.
Tuition starts at just $3,000. You’ll receive all program content, live training, client-ready materials, and access to over $2,500 in Founding Member bonuses. This is the only time we will offer this program at this price – future cohorts will cost upwards of $5,000.
No — microdosing supply is not included in your tuition. However, we’ll connect you with trusted, vetted sources so you can safely and responsibly access what you need for the 6-week microdosing experience. You should plan on an additional cost of anywhere from 100-200 USD to source the necessary microdoses for this training.
Yes, we offer flexible payment plans. After your consultation and acceptance into the program, you’ll have financing options through Affirm or custom plans arranged with our team. Additional fees may apply for internal payment plans.
Yes — we offer partial scholarships on a limited basis for those with financial need, and all alumni of PCI programs receive an additional discount. Be sure to mention this during your consultation call!
You’re eligible for a full refund within 10 days of your Admissions Interview, before the program starts. Partial refunds may be available depending on how far out you are from the start date. Once the program begins, tuition is non-refundable and payment plans must be completed. You can review the full policy here.
You can review our Terms & Conditions here. We outline all program terms, including payment structure, refund policy, deferral options, and participation expectations.
The program is designed for busy professionals. Expect ~3–4 hours per week: 90 minutes for live sessions (recordings provided) and 1–2 hours for practice or assignments.
The weekly live calls will be held on Tuesdays at 4pm PT. Call times are subject to change. You’ll receive the full schedule before the program begins.
All live sessions are recorded and made available for you to watch on your own time. Completing the material — live or recorded — is required for graduation.
You’ll have access to all session recordings, resources, and downloads for at least 12 months after the program ends — plenty of time to revisit the material, refine your skills, and implement what you’ve learned.
You’ll engage in live demos, peer practice sessions, and submit a recorded session for expert feedback. You’ll also complete a 6-week personal microdosing experience and submit written reflections along the way.
This is a live training with scheduled sessions, interactive workshops, and peer practice — but recordings are provided for flexible access. It’s not self-paced; real-time participation is part of the experience.
It’s our signature framework for microdosing with nervous system awareness and somatic tools. It helps you guide others in a structured, safe, and deeply grounded way — setting you apart from more casual or theory-only approaches.
As long as you meet the graduation requirements, you’ll earn your Microdosing Practitioner Certificate from the Psychedelic Coaching Institute. Certification is earned through full participation and demonstrated readiness. To graduate, you’ll need to complete all course content (live or recorded), submit and pass all required assignments, and uphold the PCI Code of Ethics.
Graduates of this program are eligible for our Psychedelic Practitioner Certification — a comprehensive 10-month training that covers macrodosing facilitation and advanced integration techniques. This program serves as an excellent foundation and natural stepping stone into that deeper work.
You’ll get templates, pricing guidance, email scripts, and a full client experience toolkit to help you launch your microdosing offer with confidence.
We’ll help you with that. Business development is built into the program — from niche clarity to lead generation to enrollment conversations.
Yes. Through real practice, expert feedback, and step-by-step launch tools, you’ll be ready to charge for your offer with clarity and integrity.
Not at all. Many students join while still building the foundations of their practice. We’ll guide you through designing your first microdosing offer, even if you’re starting from scratch.
Students who complete all certification requirements may be eligible for inclusion in our Certified Practitioner Directory. This listing is optional and offered at our discretion based on readiness, integrity, and alignment with PCI’s values.
Microdosing exists in a legal gray area and varies by region. We do not provide or distribute substances. Instead, we focus on education and harm reduction, supporting clients who choose to microdose on their own.
Yes — when done properly. You’ll learn how to work within your scope as a practitioner, offering preparation, integration, and protocol guidance without supplying or recommending illegal substances. We cover legal considerations and best practices so you can support clients ethically and responsibly.
Yes — all participants agree to follow our Code of Ethics throughout the program. It ensures a professional, respectful learning environment and reflects our shared commitment to integrity and responsible practice.
