She has been guiding clients both privately and in groups with ketamine-assisted treatment and integration honoring connection to the sacred and interconnection of self, nature, spirit, and the mystery that is beyond what our minds know.

Ketamine-assisted therapy is a groundbreaking, integrative, trauma-informed experience that can be used to improve a wide range of mental health symptoms. Ketamine has a completely different mechanism of action from any other antidepressant medication and offers hope to the millions of people who have not found adequate help through therapy and medication alone.

Ketamine is a medicine that helps you access deeper parts of your psyche, and in the context of therapy, may help you understand this material in ways that may have been inaccessible in traditional talk and trauma therapy. Ketamine-assisted therapy is effective because we will create a safe and intentional “set and setting,” which refers to the environment and context in which you take the medicine, as well as the preparation and integration experiences.

Group sessions provide benefits of peer support, shared process, community, and lower cost of treatment. As professional guides leading the group process, we support and cultivate interconnectedness in a physically grounded and ethically safe, nurturing container. As a result, the shared experience of KAT in groups can boost the benefits one might achieve.

  • ​One virtual group preparation session and one post-journey integration session.

  • A safe, ethically guided ceremony and container for your journey.

  • Integration activities to help you deepen and embody your experience. 

  • Sound bath.

  • Reiki (post journey) if desired. 

  • A light meal to nourish you after your journey.
