✨Exciting news… we are now offering Ketamine therapy as part of our holistic approach to wellness!✨

Ketamine therapy is a unique therapeutic method used to address a variety of mental health conditions such as depression, post-traumatic stress, chronic pain, addiction, and some forms of anxiety. 😌

What is it? Ketamine is a psychoactive drug classified as a dissociative anesthetic. It was first synthesized in 1962 and has been used in the United States as an anesthetic in medical settings since 1970. 💉

For the past 20 years, Ketamine has been used off-label in low doses to treat a variety of mental health concerns, thanks to its rapid onset antidepressant effects, sometimes providing nearly immediate relief from emotional and physical pain. While the antidepressant effects tend to be temporary after a single ketamine treatment, multiple treatments have proven to have a cumulative effect, successfully alleviating symptoms in approximately 30-60% of individuals with treatment-resistant depression. 🙌🏼

How does it work? In low doses, ketamine can serve as a supportive adjunct to psychotherapy, as it provides an opportunity for the temporary softening of the psychological defenses, allowing for deeper self reflection and psychotherapeutic processing. 📓🖋

In moderate doses, ketamine has psychedelic effects, which have been shown to facilitate profound transpersonal experiences. These types of experiences can help people in a variety of ways, offering important clarity and insight into one's struggles, adding a spiritual dimension to ongoing therapeutic work, and facilitating a sense of meaning and interconnectedness. 🪬✨

We have found that this treatment is most effective when paired with our other forms of healing such as energy work, acupuncture, nutrient IVs, and massage; to complement and deepen the therapeutic process. The pairing of these treatments amplify and prolong the healing effects of ketamine. 📆

✨You asked… we listened! It’s the return of Mindful Meetings ✨

🦻🏼We have had so many requests to bring back our Mindful Meetings, but with a focus on spirituality, OUR FAVORITE TOPIC 🥰

🧒🏻👩🏻Dr. Mike and Dr. K will be guiding the session, with each meeting focused on a different topic. We will start every meeting with a short group meditation, followed by a collaborative and informational group discussion, then conclude with a creative time for introspection (journaling, goal setting, sketching, vision boards, etc). 📝

🗣Our first topic will be something we hold near and dear to our hearts… “mindful meditation”. Have you been curious what it is or how to do it? Or perhaps you have tried it before and you feel like you just can’t quiet your mind, or calm your body enough to sit in one place for a certain amount of time? We can help! 🧘🏻‍♀️🧘🏻🧘🏻‍♂️

1️⃣Our first meeting will be May 1st, from 1pm-3pm, located in Suite 18 next to Mindful Medicine. As always, snacks and refreshments will be provided. 🥨🍎☕️🫖

📲Space is limited to 15 people so please send us a text (480) 770-6211 if you would like to join. We are SO EXCITED to hang out with you and chat about some cool topics! 💃🏻🕺🏻

🪬Some future upcoming topics will be “Understanding the Ego”, “Source Energy”, “Reiki and Chakra Balancing”, and “Manifestation”. What other topics would you like? (bonus points for explaining with an emoji!)

✨We are so excited to announce that we have another doctor joining our team… Dr. Michael Jamshidi, or as he refers to himself, “Dr. Mike”! ✨

👨🏻‍⚕️Dr. Mike uses a hands-on approach with people, building a healing and transformational relationship through bodywork, breathwork, meditation, and therapeutic movement and sound, as well as nutritional and lifestyle adjustments. He commonly works with patients with chronic pain, inflammation, depression, anxiety, trauma, stress, low energy, and sleep issues, as well as other general needs for health and wellness. 😎

Dr. Mike offers acupuncture and bodywork to support the system in opening to the experience, moving blocked energy, and integrating the physiological and energetic effects.😁
