So often, what keeps people stuck isn’t a lack of love or effort. It’s protection: nervous systems doing exactly what they learned to do. When those defenses soften in a safe, well-held container, real connection becomes possible again. Couples are one of the clearest places we see this happen.

For clinicians and medical professionals, this is why how we hold ketamine-assisted work matters so much. Opening defenses takes more than the medicine. It takes a practitioner who knows how to prepare clients, stay present with what comes up, and support integration afterward.

That’s what our Level One Clinical Intensive is built for. Over 16 weeks, you’ll learn practical, trauma-informed KAP skills through live teaching, experiential sessions, and mentorship, in a small cohort of peers doing this work alongside you. Whether you’re just beginning to offer KAP or want to deepen an existing practice, this is your direct pathway to practice.

Our next course begins October 27, and a few spots remain.
