I'm not in the business of instigating change. I am in the delicate and complex work of allowing and empowering it. Because I feel that ultimately, YOU have the wisdom and the power to bring about the changes you need; Because change is YOUR work and your choice, my role is to set the stage, in some instances empty it, explore what stands in the way, discover with you all the options and possibilities for change. Ultimately, you decide. The fact that you are here already ensures it. My job is to notice it, observe it, reflect it, and honor it. In this space, I have seen amazing change happen. Holding you Tenderly, Tania

Ketamine was first discovered in 1960s as an anesthetic, and has been used globally since then in emergency rooms and hospitals all over the world. Its safety profile is excellent (meaning that even as an anesthetic, it doesn’t impair the respiratory system so it can be used regularly even in surgeries with children). The World Health Organization has repeatedly recommended that ketamine be considered an “essential” medicine and not monitored as a dangerous substance.
I use microdosed Ketamine with the Psychedelic Somatic Institute protocol ( PSI ).
The PSI model is deeply relational and embodied model.
​
While in many other protocols clients "leave" on their journeys alone; clients with this protocol feel like their therapist is "inside" their journey.
​
The PSI Model is interactive and leverages our therapeutic relationship as part of the healing solution. Presence, therapeutic touch and my entire trauma toolkit of EMDR and Somatic Experiencing is available throughout the entire journey.
It is a protocol that targets disassociation, and illuminates the strategies in which we use to dissipate or circumvent stored unresolved somatic memory in the body.
In a carefully scaffolded container we pause all purposeful movement and listen for the organic movement of the body.
In my container, we let the body not the mind lead.
It is a bottoms up model where the body leads first and the mind later. It is one where for 90 minutes, we allow for pre-verbal, non-verbal and repressed memories to surface.
​
This particular protocol for clients who:
​​
-
Suffer from repeating anxiety spirals that are not logical.
-
Need to access pre-verbal/non-verbal or repressed memory.'
-
Don't want to do talk therapy.
-
Done a lot of somatic modalities, cleared many triggers and need a modality that clears residual trauma stored in the body.
-
Need a somatic reset from years of generalized anxiety
-
Need to prep the body for deeper psychedelic work.
I also combine:
​​
-
EMDR and Ketamine Micro-dose for resourcing.
-
Ketamine micro-dosed talk and integration sessions
-
Ketamine micro-dosed couples therapy.
-
The Psychedelic Somatic Institute set of protocols specifically addressing dissociation enabling access to non-verbal, pre-verbal and in-utero trauma.
