Ketamine-Assisted Journey Work

Have you tried everything to overcome depression, anxiety, or trauma-related symptoms — without relief, or with side effects you simply couldn’t tolerate? Do you feel stuck? If so, ketamine-assisted journey work may be worth exploring.

This is a different approach than the IV ketamine treatments offered in many clinical settings. Instead of receiving ketamine intravenously in a sterile, medicalized environment, this work is offered individually, without an IV, in a warm and comfortable space — with carefully chosen music and gentle guidance when it’s needed.

With a nursing background and 20 years of experience supporting individualized health journeys, Molly uses ketamine as a tool to help clients understand themselves more deeply, decrease anxiety, and move through the blocks that have kept them stuck.

Who Can Benefit

• Adults experiencing anxiety, depression, or other mental health stress
• Adults with symptoms related to traumatic stress

What’s Included

Sessions may draw on any of the following, depending on what each client needs:

• Ketamine-Assisted Journey (KAJ) work
• Nutrition, supplementation, and herbal medicine
• Internal Family Systems (IFS) approach
• Shamanic tools and exercises
• Acupuncture and energy work

What Is Ketamine?

Ketamine was developed in the 1960s and has long been used, at higher doses, as a surgical anesthetic for both children and adults. It has also seen use on the battlefield as an effective pain medication. In recent years, ketamine has been used “off-label” — a designation from the FDA — for psychiatric conditions that haven’t responded well to more conventional treatments, like medication or psychotherapy alone.

For many people, ketamine has offered rapid, sometimes immediate relief from symptoms of major depression, including suicidal thoughts. That said, results vary from person to person — some need only a few sessions, while others benefit from ongoing maintenance sessions to sustain their progress. As with any modality, ketamine-assisted work isn’t a magic bullet on its own. A client’s ongoing personal work — lifestyle changes, integration, and reflection between sessions — plays a central role in how effective the process is, and how long its benefits last.

The Transformational Journey Experience

An 8–12 week program, totaling roughly 25 hours of transformational work:

• 4 sessions without medicine (1.5 hours each) — preparation and integration
• 6 Ketamine-Assisted Therapy sessions with medicine (3 hours each)

Every session incorporates what’s needed from the following, tailored to you:

1. Acupuncture
2. Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) tapping, to help move trauma held in the body’s meridians
3. Shamanic techniques and Reiki
4. IMAET frequency work, to help balance the body’s physical and emotional frequencies
5. Herbal medicine, as needed

Structure & Requirements

• Medical clearance is required before beginning — this includes a psychiatric evaluation and a review of medical records
• Each Ketamine-Assisted session runs about 3 hours, including integration time connecting the medicine journey back to your last session and your broader path
• 6 KAJ sessions are recommended. Research shows this is the number most beneficial for building the new neural pathways that support lasting transformation and growth — typically spaced about one week apart
• 2 preparation sessions before, and 2 integration sessions after, the ketamine series are strongly encouraged to support the full arc of the work
