Ketamine has been around as an anesthetic (a substance that induces insensitivity to pain) medication for many years. More recently, Ketamine has been proven to be very effective for conditions such as treatment resistant depression, anxiety, and other mental health conditions. There are many ways that Ketamine can be used.

 At Mirage Holistic Healing, we utilize Ketamine as part of a medicine-assisted healing journey. This means rather than going into a room and receiving an IV medication to then be left alone in a room or with other strangers, your experience will be more personalized, comfortable, and supported.  Ketamine is classified as a dissociative anesthetic, however, at Mirage Holistic Healing we use sub anesthetic doses to help you in your healing process. This medicine can help to open new neuropathways in the default mode network of your brain allowing your own inner healer to step in. 

When you receive Ketamine with one of our providers, you will start off by meeting with the provider and receive preparation instructions. Once you have completed your preparation and set up your personalized comfortable space, you will receive headphones, an eye mask, and other items to allow for you to be physically comfortable on your journey.  One of our trained team members will then sit with you the entire time. Once you take the Ketamine medication you will place the eye mask on, and a curated music mixture will begin playing in the headphones as you put them on. Your journey will then begin with the staff being present in the room and available your entire journey if needed.

Each person's journey is personalized based on the intentions (what they hope to obtain from the journey) identified at the beginning of their journey. The length of a journey is based on how quickly each individual metabolizes the medication. Typically, Ketamine-assisted journeys can run from one to one and a half hours. Once the staff has determined you are coming to the end of your journey, they will notify you and you will be able to then begin processing your journey with them. Due to the nature of the Ketamine, you are required to have a ride or transportation set up after your journey session.

Integration services are a key component after your Ketamine journey. You will schedule integration services once you have completed your Ketamine journey. Integration services help to work on areas of concern from your life prior to your Ketamine journey through incorporating insights and wisdom you gained throughout your Ketamine journey.
