About Psychedelic Preparation & Integration
-
Psychedelic preparation coaching is a crucial part of the psychedelic experience & journey.
This type of coaching helps individuals safely & ethically prepare for the use of psychedelics, as a part of their own healing.
This is a core component of our Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy program, however, we also offer this type of coaching to anyone who is interested in or is currently engaging in working with non-ordinary states of consciousness .
Whether engaging in non-ordinary states of consciousness work in a therapeutic setting with us, with a trained provider elsewhere, or on your own - psychedelic preparation coaching is paramount for reducing risks such as aversive reactions, helping develop personal intentions & enhancing overall therapeutic benefits.

It involves working with a trained professional to help you make sense of your experience & integrate insights into every day life.
