Getting Started
If you’re new to KAP, we will begin with an initial consultation to explore your needs and whether this work is a good fit for you. After that:
-
You will complete a medical screening through Journey Clinical
-
Once cleared, we begin Preparation, Dosing, and Integration in a carefully structured process paced for your healing
Important Notes
-
KAP is structured to be deeply supportive, combining psychological and somatic work with your ketamine experiences.
-
My approach integrates attachment repair, EMDR principles, somatic awareness, and shamanic/archetypal support — in ways uniquely tailored to each client.
-
I offer payment plans and sliding scale in certain cases. Please feel free to inquire.
