About Me:Sara Ahmadi, MSc
Pharmacist, Psychedelic Therapist & Founder of Conscious Pharmacist
Sara Ahmadi is a pharmacist, psychedelic therapist and founder of Conscious Pharmacist, based in the Algarve, Portugal. She combines her background in pharmacology and medication safety with professionally guided psychedelic care, supporting international clients through psilocybin retreats, private psychedelic experiences, microdosing programs and psychotropic medication tapering.
After beginning her career in pharmacy, Sara became increasingly interested in what happens when conventional treatment alone is not enough. Her own experiences with psilocybin became an important turning point and eventually led her to specialise in psychedelic-assisted care.
Her pharmaceutical background gives her a distinctive perspective within the psychedelic field, particularly when working with people who use antidepressants or other prescription medication. Health screening, medication history, potential interactions, preparation and integration are therefore important parts of her approach.
Through Conscious Pharmacist, Sara offers private, couples and small-group psilocybin experiences in Portugal, as well as personalised microdosing and longer-term coaching programs.
Her philosophy is simple: psychedelic transformation is not just about the substance or the experience itself. It is about creating the right conditions before, during and after the journey for meaningful and lasting change to become possible.
Sara’s approach brings together science, safety, personal connection and transformation, with each program tailored to the individual rather than following a one-size-fits-all protocol.
She works with clients from around the world who are seeking greater emotional wellbeing, clarity, personal growth and meaningful life change.

Intake Process:Every client begins with a personal consultation so I can understand what brings them to me, what they are hoping to achieve and whether my approach is the right fit for them.
If we decide to explore working together, I ask the client to complete a detailed health intake form covering their medical and psychological history, current and previous medications, supplements, previous psychedelic experiences and other relevant health information.
As a pharmacist, I personally review each intake with particular attention to medications, potential interactions, contraindications and other factors that may influence the safety or suitability of psilocybin.
When needed, I ask for additional medical information, recent test results or consultation with the client's doctor or another healthcare professional before proceeding.
We then have a preparation consultation to discuss the intake, intentions, expectations and any concerns or questions. Clients are also informed about the potential effects and risks of psilocybin and what to expect before, during and after the experience.
Not everyone who contacts me is automatically accepted. If I identify a medical or psychological concern that makes psychedelic work inappropriate or requires further assessment, I will discuss this openly with the client and may recommend postponing or not proceeding.
My aim is to know each person I work with well enough to create a personalised, well-prepared and responsibly guided journey from the very beginning.
Overview of Protocol:Preparation
Every journey begins with personal preparation. Before participating, clients complete a detailed health and medication screening, followed by an individual consultation to discuss their health background, current medications, intentions and expectations.
In the weeks or days leading up to the experience, clients receive practical and personal guidance to help them arrive feeling informed, prepared and supported. When medication is involved, additional attention is given to potential interactions and individual considerations.
The Experience
Psilocybin experiences take place in a calm, private and supportive setting in Portugal. Whether joining a private session, couples experience or small-group retreat, each client receives personal guidance throughout their journey.
The day begins with grounding, intention setting and preparation before the psilocybin experience. During the journey, clients are encouraged to turn inward and allow the experience to unfold naturally, while professional support remains available throughout.
The focus is on creating an environment where clients feel safe enough to let go, explore and connect more deeply with themselves.
Integration
Integration begins immediately after the experience and continues well beyond the ceremony itself.
Clients are supported in exploring what came up during their journey and how those insights can be translated into everyday life. Depending on the program, this may include individual integration sessions, coaching, reflection exercises, lifestyle support and microdosing.
Rather than viewing psilocybin as a single transformative event, Sara’s approach focuses on what happens **before, during and after the experience** helping clients turn insight into meaningful and lasting change.
