Your Ketamine Treatment Journey

“Turn off your mind, let go, and float down stream.”- John Lennon

Collaboration & Customization

Collaboration of medical and health professionals is essential to gain the most out of IV Ketamine therapy. Although Ketamine alone has shown breakthrough benefits both mentally and physically, the longevity of its benefits could come from what we do before and after each infusion. The intention and integration work with behavioral health professionals, with Ketamine psychotherapy knowledge, is just as important. Mind & Body Wellness Center highly recommends using “Ketamine Coaches” while going through our protocol. These “coaches” add to the experience ensuring our clients the most out of what they put in.

What to Expect

You are greeted in the waiting room by an anesthesia provider and your journey guide. We walk you to your room where you will receive your treatment.

While in your room, we will review what your intentions are. If this is your initial session we will review the procedure. If your treatment is ongoing, we will review how your last session went and confirm your desired dose and plan for this session.

The anesthesia professional will place your IV, take your vital signs, and begin prepare your customized ketamine infusion.

You’ll settle into your recliner, place a weighted blanket or one of your own, and adjust the pillows. You will be asked to wear eyeshades to help enhance the journey. Music is also a major component of the session. There are many playlists available, but the best playlists are ones that the patient is unfamiliar with. We encourage taking 5-10 minutes of breath work with your guide prior to starting your infusion.

You’ll feel the effects of the ketamine within 5-10 minutes of starting the infusion. Your guide will ensure a smooth launch as well as monitoring how the chosen dose is working for you throughout your session. The anesthesia provider will safely titrate the infusion while monitoring your vital signs.

When the ketamine is finished, you’ll feel yourself ‘coming down’ within minutes. Plan to recover for at least 20-30 minutes, post-treatment for your safety and well-being.
