If you're considering ketamine therapy, you likely have some questions about what to expect—especially if you're seeking not just relief, but transformation. At Koru Wellness, we've designed our approach to not only addresses your mental health needs but also ensures a deep, introspective journey into your psyche in a safe and nurturing environment.


Our sessions extend for 2.5 hours—significantly longer than most. This is an intentional extension that allows ample time for each phase of the session: preparation, the medicine experience, and finally the integration. We believe this extra time is crucial, as it ensures you are never rushed and gives you the opportunity to explore your thoughts and feelings deeply.


In addition to extra time, we take great care to ensure a welcoming and warm environment for your ketamine therapy session. Your surroundings and setting plays an important role in your session, as we believe that the space where you confront your innermost selves should feel secure and peaceful.


Throughout your session, your safety is the utmost priority. Your therapist will be with you the entire time, providing guidance and support as you navigate through the effects of ketamine.  Meanwhile, our dedicated medical staff monitor your vitals throughout to ensure the entire process is both an effective and safe use of the medicine. We believe that this continuous presence of others you can trust creates an atmosphere where you can deeply relax and be open to the experience.


Before any session begins, we engage in a detailed discussion about your goals and intentions. This is vital as it frames your mindset and primes you for the insights you may discover during the session. The ketamine is then administered via an intramuscular injection, which allows for a controlled and steady onset of effects, typically lasting about an hour.


Under the influence of ketamine, many describe feeling as if they are floating, being detached from their usual burdens of daily life and struggles. This detachment often allows you to view your problems from a new and often enlightening perspective. This profound disconnection from the familiar stresses that can lead to significant emotional breakthroughs, and a unique form of peace that continues long after the session ends.


Each step of the of our program is crafted with intention and care. We are dedicated to guiding you through this transformative experience to ensure that you feel supported, safe, and capable of exploring the depths of your mind in a way that leads to healing and personal growth. Whether you’re battling anxiety, depression, or simply seeking to understand yourself better, our doors are open.
