THE WORD OF MOUTH


Sarasota Ketamine Therapy offers a space for growth beyond what we are told we are capable of, especially for people who are motivated are ready to invest in themselves and their own future. Dr. Natalie and Kristen provided exactly the type of support and professionalism required for the kind of work that goes into healing with trauma. The 90 day trauma release program utilizes setting intentions and exploring future possibilities, low-doses of ketamine administered at home, guided meditation, and integration. Dr. Natalie completes a medical intake and prescribes the medication while Kristen provides instruction for the other parts of the program, is available for questions and to provide guidance at all times, and also schedules three check-in meetings throughout the 90 day program.

Sarasota Ketamine Therapy has empowered me to be not just an active participant but also the driving force in shaping what’s possible for mySelf in the years to come. I got an undergraduate and graduate degree in clinical psychology, participated in over a year of eye movement reprocessing and desensitization, months of trauma coaching, years of intensive outpatient counseling, several anti-anxiety and anti-depressant medications….all in attempt to understand myself and experience all that life truly has to offer. After completing this program I can say without hesitation that nothing is out of reach for me now.

I participated in one of Kristen’s ketamine release retreats and just can’t say enough good things about the experience! It was an amazing introspective journey that brought me great insight and left me feeling refreshed and ready to tackle the challenges life has been throwing my way. Kristen is an excellent inner guide who helps clients navigate their way through uncomfortable emotions that can keep us stuck, providing a path forward towards wellness. I recommend her services without hesitation!

I recently completed the 3-month Ketamine Treatment Program with Sarasota Ketamine Therapy and I have experienced a transformation in my wellbeing. In 2021 I lost both my parents and lived in a haze of grief that overshadowed every moment. After doing a ton of research I became interested in ketamine therapy. All of the programs I found were extremely expensive, provided such a high dose of medication I felt anxious just thinking about it or so low a dose it was unlikely I would receive the therapeutic results I was looking for.

Their science-backed program is a custom approach to physical and mental health allowing each participant to decide what is best for them. I went to a mini-retreat where I was able to experience the medicine along with Kristen’s lovingly guided meditation and left feeling clear that this was the right path for me. Soon after I enrolled and received my prescription meds (made by a top-rated compound pharmacy) the fog of grief lifted and I began feeling like myself again. Within a month I was thinking clearer and more creatively and the integration sessions helped solidify these insights. Over time the inspiration and deep feelings of aliveness got stronger and more healing. After the second month, since I had more energy and capacity, I took on extra work and by the end of the third month I had earned more than enough to pay for the whole program.

I have invested thousands in yoga, therapy, biofeedback, EMDR, coaching, and you name it. This is by far the best investment I have ever made in myself and my well-being. I highly recommend Kristen, Dr Natalie, and Sarasota Ketamine Treatment Program

Working with Dr. Natalie and Kristen through my ketamine treatment has been nothing short of transformative. From the very first consultation, I felt a deep sense of compassion and professionalism from both of them. Dr. Natalie’s expertise in guiding me through the science behind ketamine therapy made me feel safe, and her personalized approach ensured that my unique needs were always at the forefront. Kristen’s empathetic nature and ability to create a comforting, supportive environment added an essential emotional layer to the process.

THE WORD OF MOUTH


My experience with Kristen and Dr. Natalie has been nothing short of amazing. With their trauma release ketamine program, I was able to eliminate 95% of the intrusive thoughts that I’ve dealt with my entire life, day in and day out- that was initial focus when I decided to start healing. Because of not having to deal with those anymore, I am able to feel joy, I’m not riddled with anxiety, I’m much less reactive, and I don’t feel so irritable because the noise in my head is so much less. Life before ketamine was feeling a bit like a prisoner in my body, and now I feel free. The ways this has changed my life seem small when I say them out loud, but they are things that have kept me stuck in the same place, and unhappy in that place, for so many years. The integrative work that Kristen does helps tremendously but she also encourages making your journey an intuitive one. For people like me with control issues, this was paramount. I always felt guided, but ultimately in charge of my own journey to a better existence, and that’s something I needed to do in order to grow. If you are considering the ketamine program, or even just learning about ketamine for the first time ever in reading this, this is your sign from the universe that this program is where you belong!

About Us

Ketamine was approved by the FDA in 1970 as an anesthetic and analgesic and has been listed on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines since 1985. Ketamine is also prescribed off-label to treat a wide range of mental health issues.

Ketamine targets NMDA receptors in the brain, helping to "rehydrate" synapses that have been dried out by the chronic depletion caused by mood disorders. Blocking glutamate at these receptors allows for better conduction, while the influx of "feel-good" chemicals helps stabilize moods and alleviate chronic pain.
