Ketamine Assisted Journey

Do you feel like you’ve tried everything to overcome your depression, anxiety, or trauma-related symptoms without relief or too many intolerable side effects? Are you feeling stuck? If yes, consider trying ketamine-assisted journey work.
This differs from the primary ketamine treatments being offered; instead of administering ketamine intravenously (IV) in a sterile medicalized setting, KA is offered an alternative, individualized approach…and no IVs. This is provided in a warm comfortable safe space with carefully selected music and when needed gentle guidance.I have a background in nursing and have been working personally with individualized health journeys for 20 years, ketamine can help us understand more about ourselves and our healing journey, decrease anxiety and heal our blocks.

What is Ketamine?
If you are unfamiliar with ketamine here is a brief history of how and why it is being used for Ketamine-Assisted treatment. Ketamine was invented in the 1960s and has traditionally been used in higher doses as an anesthetic (for surgery) with children and adults. It has also been used during war times on the battlefield as an effective analgesic (pain medication). In recent years, ketamine has been administered as an “off-label” treatment, per the FDA, for psychiatric conditions that have been resistant to currently available modalities such as medications and/or psychotherapy.
For many, ketamine has been found to provide rapid, sometimes immediate relief of major depressive symptoms, including suicidal ideation; however, the degree and length of symptom relief is variable from patient to patient with some requiring few doses and others needing maintenance administration to experience ongoing symptom relief and remission. As with other mental modalities KA is not a magic bullet, the client’s ongoing personal work (e.g. lifestyle changes & ongoing integration therapy) are integral in the effectiveness of KA and the duration of experienced improvements.
