Grounded in Safety. Guided by Compassion.™
What is Ketamine?
Ketamine is a legal, safe, and FDA-approved treatment that has been making significant strides in the realm of mental health and well-being. With a history of FDA approval dating back to 1970, ketamine stands apart from other mind-altering substances like psilocybin, LSD, and MDMA, as it has always been recognized as a legal pharmaceutical.
This remarkable therapeutic tool offers hope and relief for those struggling with depression, anxiety, PTSD, OCD, and chronic pain. Prescribed "off label" for psychological conditions, ketamine provides a unique opportunity for transformation and healing.
At therapeutic doses, ketamine has been described as a "situational psychedelic," where the nature of the experience is profoundly influenced by factors such as intention, support, music, environment aesthetics, physical comfort, and a sense of safety. This carefully curated approach allows individuals to explore their inner world, unravel emotional complexities, and find profound healing.
At Conscious Ketamine-Assisted Coaching™, I am dedicated to providing a safe and nurturing space for your transformative journey. Together, we'll embark on a personalized Conscious Ketamine-Assisted Coaching™ experience that unlocks the full potential of this therapeutic treatment.
With me as your guide, you'll discover the power of ketamine in fostering self-discovery, growth, and healing. Let's embark on this journey of transformation together and embrace the vibrant life that awaits you.
Is Ketamine safe?
Your safety is my top priority. I understand that you may have concerns about the safety of ketamine, and I want to provide you with all the necessary information to make an informed decision.
Ketamine has gained widespread recognition and has been extensively studied and endorsed by researchers at the National Institute of Mental Health. This therapeutic approach has shown remarkable success in treating various mental and physical conditions, including anxiety, depression, OCD, PTSD, chronic pain, fibromyalgia, and more.
While ketamine has an impressive safety record, I believe in taking a proactive approach. To ensure your well-being, all Conscious Ketamine-Assisted Coaching™ clients undergo a comprehensive medical evaluation conducted by a qualified prescriber, either in person or via telemedicine. This evaluation is specifically designed to identify and assess any personal risk factors related to the therapeutic use of ketamine. This is a required step before receiving a ketamine prescription.
Although ketamine is generally well-tolerated, there may be potential side effects, such as imbalance, nausea/vomiting, dizziness, anxiety, headache, blurred vision, feeling rubbery, change in coordination, abuse/addiction potential, and agitation. Rest assured, these effects typically resolve within 2-4 hours.
To further safeguard your health, I closely monitor your vital signs during the retreat using a blood pressure cuff and pulse oximeter. While nausea and vomiting are rare, I will ask you to refrain from oral intake (eating), except for water, for 4 hours before your session to minimize any potential discomfort.
Is Ketamine addictive?
Medical evidence does demonstrate abuse potential in some individuals. For this reason, in the Conscious Ketamine-Assisted Coaching™ program, ketamine is administered only “in-office” or under my direct supervision.
Transparency and open communication are essential as we work together to make your Conscious Ketamine-Assisted Coaching™ experience as safe, effective, and empowering as possible.
For individuals not at risk for abuse, and when taken as prescribed, ketamine can be safely administered multiple times over the course of a year without addiction or long-lasting harm. Talk to your prescribing medical professional about any concerns you have about risks, dosage, and frequency of use.
What is a private Conscious Ketamine-Assisted
Coaching™ Retreat?
On the day of your private Conscious Ketamine-Assisted Coaching™ Retreat, there are two convenient ways to embark on this profound quest. If you are seeking an in-person experience, I offer personalized retreats in a safe and supportive environment in a private location in Scottsdale, AZ, or at a local specialized ketamine clinic. If you are traveling for your session, accommodations can be made at a local hotel. I can provide you with a list of recommendations for places to stay close by.
If distance or other factors make in-person sessions challenging, I also offer the option of online private Conscious Ketamine-Assisted Coaching™ Retreats via a secure link, providing the same depth of support and guidance from the comfort of your own space.
Whichever method you choose, know that I am fully dedicated to your well-being and transformation every step of the way.
If you choose to take your journey in the private Scottsdale location or online, I'll guide you through a safe and transformative process using oral ketamine troches, placed under the tongue or in contact with the cheek, and does not require needles.
Dosage is determined through careful consideration of your physical factors and goals. The effects will be felt within minutes, gradually intensifying. The peak lasts around 60-90 minutes, with potential lingering effects.
The entire retreat takes about 4 hours, including preparation before and Integration Coaching after. I'll support you through any experiences that arise, holding space with care and dedication.
Ketamine's effects vary based on dosage and intention. Trust your "inner healing intelligence" as your guide on this profound journey of self-discovery and transformation.
What happens after a Conscious
Ketamine-Assisted Coaching™ Retreat?
After your Conscious Ketamine-Assisted Coaching™ Retreat, the transformative journey continues with essential Integration Coaching Sessions.
Your brain's increased neuroplasticity during this time is vital for "reprogramming." Integration is crucial for lasting positive change, and I'm here to support you throughout the entire process and help you unlock the true power of your experience and achieve your goals.
What is the recommended frequency of Conscious
Ketamine-Assisted Coaching™ Retreats?
The frequency of Conscious Ketamine-Assisted Coaching™ Retreats varies based on your unique needs and desires. It is a highly individualized approach, and the number of sessions will be determined on a case-by-case basis.
Consider building on positive changes that may arise from your treatments. You may experience significant improvements after just 1-2 Conscious Ketamine-Assisted Coaching™ Retreats, or you might require 4-6 to achieve your desired results.
As your coach, I prioritize personalized care and work closely with you to design a treatment plan that aligns with your specific goals and journey.
Whether you need more frequent sessions or spaced-out follow-ups, I am here to support you every step of the way. Together, we will create a tailored approach that maximizes the potential of your Conscious Ketamine-Assisted Coaching™ Retreats.
Who is NOT a good candidate for
Ketamine treatment?
Individuals who may not be suitable candidates for ketamine treatment include pregnant or nursing women, those with liver or kidney failure, poorly controlled cardiovascular problems, active suicidal tendencies, and severe substance abuse disorders.
Other contraindications include allergies to ketamine, recent traumatic brain injury, severe obstructive sleep apnea, and known aneurysmal disease.
Patients with these conditions should discuss their medical history thoroughly with a healthcare provider to determine treatment suitability.
Your safety and well-being is my top priority and I aim to provide personalized and effective care based on your specific needs.
