Struggling with depression, anxiety, bipolar issues, PTSD, OCD, eating disorders, or addiction? Ketamine might truly help you.  

Ketamine is a safe, regulated, legal psychedelic that has been used in medicine since the 1960’s and is on the World Health Organization’s list of essential medications. Ketamine is noted in psychiatry for its profound psychedelic properties, rapid acting antidepressant properties, ability to alter thought patterns and reorient perspectives. Perhaps the most important core principle in healing is trusting your own inner healing intelligence, which is our innate capacity to heal the wounds of trauma. You are the source of your own healing. Ketamine can facilitate access to a deeper healing process and augment our natural ability to heal, and guide us to the places deep within that need attention, processing, and integration. 

Mental and physical safety monitoring will be done by Courtney Terrell, LMHC, LPC, a licensed therapist specializing in ketamine therapy, trauma, and EMDR, as well as GeorgAnna Wiley, CNM, MSN, APRN, WHNP, BSN, BA, CPM, FMA-CP a licensed provider specializing in healing from trauma. We will offer injectable, intranasal, and oral (troche) administration routes and different dosing options. There will be an intake session with both Courtney and GeorgAnna (to check for hormonal imbalances contributing to your concerns) prior to enrolling in the retreat, as well as follow up integration care and ketamine doses to take home for sessions at home after the ceremony.

With over 20 years as an experienced midwife (CPM and CNM), holistic Nurse Practitioner focused on trauma healing, clinically trained Ketamine provider, and harm reduction activist, let us help guide you during what can be the most transformative pinnacle moment of your life’s healing journey.

Beforehand, we will take a deep look into your goals, do a thorough screening (checking hormones and other labs as indicated for you personally), assess what you need to address to heal and grow, and make a plan with a therapist specializing in Ketamine treatment to facilitate your personal healing.

 The experience of love, affection, intimacy, sex, orgasm, and embracing life are all facets of birth - their root is all in oxytocin and opening, a form of exquisite surrender, release, but we need to feel safe to flow into these states. Our bodies and hearts open when we feel safe and connected. Let me help you nurture this response, release fear, and facilitate a deeper level of healing on your journey.

As a homebirth, hospital, and birthing center midwife who has worked with indigenous midwives around the globe, I have wiped sweat, blood, and tears for women, held and guided them as they crossed through the most painful experience of their lives without any pharmaceutical pain relief options. Most had histories of trauma - they chose a midwife to feel safe and have more support to facilitate not just surviving giving birth, but deeply healing through it. Fear and pain in life and birth make us reflexively push back, burying our trauma deeper.  Women who have been mistreated often relive that through their bodies as they birth - it is again pain, out of their control, against their will, in the most intimate part of their body; but this time they can choose to surrender and even embrace the sensations (pain is, after all, just a passing sensation), to birth their beautiful baby and become a mother. Women who have a lot of fear and instead push against that surrender have a hard time opening to birth their babies (more tearing and cesareans); the nourishing support of a midwife and experienced, trained medical clinician guiding you can greatly facilitate that journey. Let me also help you release to your place of healing and wellness through your ketamine journey infused with sound healing at (re)birth.
