Sanne Ham is an artist, singer-songwriter, and transformational guide who weaves music, ritual, and storytelling into immersive experiences. Rooted near the sea in The Hague, the Netherlands, she travels widely to learn from ancient wisdom traditions.

Since 2019 she has guided more than 200 individuals in psilocybin sessions, drawing on training in trauma integration and inner-child work. Her approach combines structure and creativity, blending therapeutic methods with music to create safe and meaningful journeys.

Her path into this work began at eighteen with a heart attack and near-death experience. While she recovered physically, she later uncovered anxiety, PTSD, and dissociation. This turning point led her to study trauma at its roots, work with the subconscious mind, and learn to use psilocybin responsibly and intentionally under the guidance of experienced teachers and mentors.

Discovering the myth of Demeter and Persephone gave her deeper insight into her own experience and inspired her to explore the Eleusinian Mysteries, the current psychedelic renaissance, and the power of archetypal stories. Through mythology and Jungian archetypes, she came to see storytelling as a profound method for transformation.

Sanne believes meaningful change is not about quick fixes but about addressing underlying patterns, living in alignment with one’s values, and practicing honest self-expression. Through her art and ceremonies, she invites others on a journey from disconnection to connection, from self-doubt to confidence, and toward a life that feels authentic and grounded.

  • Sanne is a terrific guide full of kindness, love and compassion

    “She has tremendous knowledge of how trauma affects us now, how it lives in our bodies, and how we can move through it. She’s also very professional: she answered all questions that both myself and my girlfriend had, she is very punctual, and very understanding to one’s needs and concerns. With her as my guide, I was fully able to reach the intentions (break through/disarm my defense mechanisms and get in touch with my younger self) I had set out for both of my ceremonies. The experience itself was extremely intense, but Sanne was there every step of the way to talk to me, comfort me, soothe me and make me feel safe and supported the entire time. I am truly grateful I had this experience with Sanne by my side and could not imagine doing it with anyone else. I could not recommend Sanne enough. She is a wonderful person and guide. Thank you Sanne.”

  • I felt completely safe and supported

    “I chose to take my psilocybin journey with you because I wanted a one to one session in an environment of my choice. I did a lot of reading and research on the different options and this worked well for me. I feel uncomfortable with groups of strangers and so a group retreat is not for me. You were approachable, calm, kind, knowledgeable and helpful before, during and after the session. You helped me with intentions, set & setting. During the session I felt completely safe and supported.

    As you know I am a doctor and so had lots of questions which you answered well and thoroughly. I am very grateful for your guidance and am sure it contributed to the benefits that I am enjoying following the process. I did manage to stop SSRI treatment and have remained treatment free for 3 months since. As you explained to me it is a journey and I continue to heal and improve. It’s taken some time and patience but you also helped to manage my anxiety and expectations. I am deeply grateful. Thank you. “

  • Depths of gratitude

    “Sanne was a true guide in every sense of the word. She was empathetic and understanding. She adapted to our needs when they changed and guided us through experiences that, in the wrong hands, could have been quite frightening. Instead she gave us the insight to understand and even accept what was frightening which opened up doors that lead to places of total awareness. Sanne was an integral part of this experience and when the way was unclear she seemed to know exactly what to do. Most of all, she made the experience what we needed and not what we wanted. In the moment this wasn’t always clear but by the end it was obvious. There are no words that can fully express the depths of gratitude we feel for her participation and guidance throughout this journey. At times we even were consciously aware of our gratitude and even thanked her (often through tears) during the journey. She was the Beatrice in a Divine Comedy we will never forget.”

  • Calm, knowledgeable, and grounded

    “Sanne is an excellent guide, she facilitated my psilocybin journey in November 2021. I found her to be calm, knowledgeable, and grounded from our initial video call. She helped me to prepare my intention for the experience. Her presence was reassuring and I felt completely safe and relaxed. I really valued the integration sessions after my experience and Sanne's wisdom helped me articulate my thoughts into actionable points. I would not hesitate in recommending Sanne to anyone looking to explore the world of psychedelics. My life is unquestionably better for having worked with her.”

  • A wonderful, impactful experience

    “I had such an impactful experience guided by Sanne. She was open and informative beforehand and made me feel comfortable sharing my intention. During the experience, I felt so comfortable knowing that she was there - she has a wise, calming, warm presence that put me at ease. Afterwards, during the integration session, she held space for me to share my entire journey adding insightful thoughts on my experience. I highly recommend working with Sanne - she is wonderful.”

  • Full of compassion

    “My daughter and I were led by Sanne for a psilocybin trip last month and we both felt lucky that Sanne was our guide. She is knowledgeable, thoughtful, calm and loving and we felt confident in her capabilities and experience which enabled us to relax and let go. Sanne has a soothing presence and is full of compassion and love. We highly recommend her.”

  • A true guide

    “One of our greatest concerns before beginning this journey was whether we would be in the hands of a trusted guide. Sanne was a true guide in every sense of the word. She was empathetic and understanding. She adapted to our needs when they changed and guided us through experiences that, in the wrong hands, could have been quite frightening. Instead she gave us the insight to understand and even accept what was frightening which opened up doors that lead to places of total awareness. Sanne was an integral part of this experience and when the way was unclear she seemed to know exactly what to do. Most of all, she made the experience what we needed and not what we wanted. In the moment this wasn't always clear but by the end it was obvious. There are no words that can fully express the depths of gratitude we feel for her participation and guidance throughout this journey. At times we even were consciously aware of our gratitude and even thanked her (often through tears) during the journey. She was the Beatrice in a Divine Comedy we will never forget.”

  • Emotional Release

    “An extraordinary experience with an expert guide. This involved two sessions with full ego dissolution and lots of emotion. This is the key as our fears appear to get trapped within our ego. The second of session was more pleasant, with lots of flow. Sanne's guidance was invaluable...she is a great guide and special person, and made the experience life-changing and safe. Thanks Sanne!”

  • Insightful and releasing

    “Sanne‘s presence made me feel very safe through the whole experience. She is very understanding and compassionate. I got a big change and opening on my perspectives and Sanne gave me very helpful tools during the integration session to explore further. I‘m super grateful for this experience!”

    — Sonja

  • Compassionate and Caring

    “Sanne was very knowledgeable and comforting which resulted in me being less anxious as I went into the experience. During the journey, she was the perfect amount of present when I needed her to be but not intrusive during the times when I wanted to remain internally focused. She was very compassionate and caring. I felt safe and taken care of during the experience.”

  • Go deep inside

    “My first experience with psilocybin was with Sanne. Her preparation was so helpful and I was really confident when I met her for the journey. During the experience, I felt her always by my side to guide me. She was perfect in every way. With her guidance you will be able to go deep inside and feel perfectly safe at the same time. The day after, the integration will link the inner experience to your everyday life and you will have a slightly different way of feeling things afterwards. Thank you so much Sanne for everything!”

    — Didier

  • Super safe and secure

    "When I signed up for a session with Sanne, I had no clue what to expect. I wanted to get to know the inner workings of my brain on a different level but had never experienced psychedelics before. My prep sessions made me feel super comfortable and excited about the process, and by the time the 'big day' arrived I was calm and ready. Sanne is naturally a calming personality and made me feel super safe and secure for what was a great trip! Thank you so much Sanne for your help and care."

  • Safe, private and in my own home

    “After reading Michael Pollen’s How To Change Your Mind, I decided to try a psychedelic psilocybin experience to address some unresolved issues I have carried with me for a number of years. Having had a negative LSD experience many years ago, I wanted an option that was safe, private and in my own home. I chose the one-on-one guided experience with Sanne, which met all my expectations and then some! Sanne held space for me and her presence allowed me to go deeper and really be open to it. The integration session afterwards was also very valuable as it helped me to process the key takeaways and carry those through to my daily life. Highly recommended this experience as an investment into one’s mental health and wellbeing.”

    — Cheryl

  • Root of my intentions

    “I found the experience of the psychedelic retreat to have a healing and profound effect on me. Sanne was very encouraging and facilitated open dialogue to reach the root of my intentions. The retreat gave me a deeper understanding and resolution of personal issues I was facing. I feel in more control of my response to my external surroundings and have a greater grip on things which previously I felt were out of my control.”
