What is Ketamine-Assisted Therapy (KAT)?
KAT is a new system of care that combines evidence-based medicine with traditional therapies. Medically prescribed Ketamine acts as a supportive tool that aids in the removal of barriers to connection, allowing you to accept the guidance of your inner healing intelligence and Qi’s experienced team of medical professionals and facilitators, to break through previously treatment-resistant challenges.
Our Approach to Ketamine Assisted Therapy
Leading researchers consider upwards of 70% of the therapeutic benefit to come from exceptional preparation and integration support. This is why our small group program and our custom personal program both include in depth 1-on-1 preparation, multiple medicine days and fully supported psychedelic integration therapy.

There is a range of conditions for which KAT is suitable. Ketamine-Assisted Therapy (or KAT) is a program that can be considered if you are someone struggling with depression, grief, anxiety, loss, or seeking healing from past trauma.
It has also been regarded as an effective option for people with treatment-resistant conditions who have tried medications and therapy with little success.
KAT is also an option if you wish to enhance your mind to feel more connected to your body, your identity, and your purpose. Accessing parts of your subconscious mind can allow you to seek comfort, healing, and inspiration.

Each person and each experience is unique.
During low dose sessions, you may feel mild dissociation, relaxation, mindfulness, lowered defenses, anxiolytic and empathogenic effects, as well as anti-depressant effects.
Moderate dose sessions may involve moderate dissociation, out-of-body experiences, and an expansive sense of self.
At higher doses, you may experience full dissociation from the body and various transpersonal and mystical experiences.
