The inLIGHTen Wellness Transformational Healing Series

We offer ketamine therapy within a compassionate, human-centered framework designed to support not only the treatment itself, but the deeper healing, reflection, and integration that unfold around it.

Your Healing Journey

Step 1

Initial Connection

Your journey begins with a discovery call with inLIGHTen Wellness and Dr. Sandy to explore your goals, answer questions, and determine whether our approach feels aligned for you.

​

You may schedule your call through Calendly, or reach out to our team by email, phone, or text for additional support and guidance.

​

If you decide to move forward, we will schedule your in-person evaluation and provide secure online intake forms for completion prior to your visit.

Step 2

Medical Evaluation & Treatment Planning

During your in-person physician evaluation, we will review your medical history, discuss your goals and experiences, and explore whether ketamine therapy is an appropriate fit for your healing journey.

​

If treatment is recommended, we will discuss the medication, treatment process, safety considerations, and overall approach in depth. You will also be paired with an Transformational Coach who will support you throughout preparation and ongoing integration.

Step 3

Preparation & Alignment

Prior to your treatment session, you will meet with your Transformational Coach to begin preparing emotionally, mentally, and practically for the experience.

​

Preparation may include:

  • Clarifying intentions for treatment

  • Exploring supportive daily practices prior to sessions

  • Discussing what to expect during the medicine experience

  • Creating space for questions, concerns, and reflection

 

We believe thoughtful preparation helps create a greater sense of safety, openness, and meaningful integration.

Step 4

Your Ketamine Journey Sessions

On the day of your treatment, you will be welcomed into a calm and supportive healing environment intentionally designed to help you feel safe and at ease.

​

Before beginning, we will review your intentions, answer any remaining questions, and help you settle into the experience. Throughout the session, our team remains present to support and monitor you with care and attentiveness.

 

Following the medicine experience, we will gently explore and reflect on the themes, emotions, and insights that emerged during your journey.

Step 5

Transformational Coaching & Continued Reflection

Your integration process begins immediately following treatment.

​

You will receive a next-day check-in from Dr. Sandy and/or your Coach. You will then connect with your Coach for a dedicated post-journey Transformational Coaching session within usually 3-5 days. Together, you will explore your experience more deeply and develop personalized ways to integrate the insights and shifts from your journey into everyday life.

​

Integration is an essential part of the healing process and helps support lasting and meaningful change.

Step 6

Ongoing Support & Continued Care

Healing does not end when a session concludes.

​

Our team will continue to check in with you following treatment to offer support, answer questions, and help guide next steps when appropriate. Additional treatment sessions and integration support can be scheduled based on your individual needs and goals.

​

We honor that each healing journey unfolds differently and strive to support that process with compassion, presence, and care.

Pre-Treatment

01. Assessment & Consult

Your journey begins with a comprehensive assessment to determine whether ketamine therapy is an appropriate and supportive option for your individual needs and goals. During this process, we will review your medical and emotional history, discuss potential benefits and considerations, and explore other therapeutic approaches that may complement or serve as alternatives to ketamine therapy when appropriate. This is also an opportunity for you to ask questions, share concerns, and gain a deeper understanding of the treatment process and what to expect throughout your experience.

02. Intention Setting & Preparation

Preparation is an important part of the healing process. Before treatment, you will work with your integration coach to clarify intentions and thoughtfully prepare for your journey. This process may include exploring areas of gratitude, significant life experiences, emotional patterns, unresolved challenges, and personal hopes for healing and growth. To support reflection and integration, we provide a journal that you may use throughout your treatment journey. In the days surrounding your session, we encourage minimizing exposure to overstimulating or emotionally activating media, including social media, distressing news, violent programming, and highly charged political content whenever possible. We also ask that you refrain from alcohol, marijuana, and other non-prescribed mind-altering substances before and after treatment. Creating intentional space around your session often helps support a greater sense of openness, grounding, and integration during the healing process. We also strongly encourage keeping the day following treatment free from major responsibilities whenever possible, allowing time for rest, reflection, and continued processing of the experience and insights that may emerge. We view preparation not as a checklist, but as part of the therapeutic process itself.

Your Treatment Experience

01. Preparing for Your Session

Before treatment begins, your clinician will assess how you are feeling physically, emotionally, and mentally to ensure you are well-prepared for the experience. Together, we will determine the treatment approach that best aligns with your individual needs and goals, including whether intramuscular (IM) or intravenous (IV) ketamine delivery is the most appropriate fit for you. We will also revisit your intentions, answer any remaining questions, and offer guidance to help you enter the experience with openness, grounding, and trust in the process.

02. The Medicine Experience

When you feel ready to begin, your guide — whether an RN, paramedic, or physician — will administer your intramuscular injection or IV infusion while you rest comfortably in one of our zero-gravity recliners or on supportive floor mats designed for comfort and relaxation. To help create a calming and immersive environment, you will be provided with: An eye mask Noise-canceling headphones Regular or weighted blankets and pillows for comfort Aromatherapy of your choice A thoughtfully curated music playlist designed to gently support the experience A trained member of our team will remain present throughout the session to provide support, reassurance, and attentive care if needed. Following your session, your curated playlist will be shared with you, as revisiting the music can often help reconnect you with insights, emotions, and reflections from the experience.

03. Reflection & Transition

As the effects of the medicine begin to soften, many individuals experience a period of relaxation or drowsiness. Before you leave, we will spend time gently reflecting on any themes, emotions, or insights that emerged during your session and discuss areas you may wish to continue exploring in the days ahead. With your permission, meaningful reflections or notable themes from the experience will be documented in your journal to support ongoing integration and processing. For your safety and comfort, you will need someone to drive you home following treatment. We strive to create an environment where individuals feel safe enough to surrender, explore, and reconnect with themselves.

Curate Your Experience

We believe the environment surrounding treatment matters deeply. Every aspect of the space is intentionally designed to help you feel safe, supported, grounded, and at ease throughout your experience.
 

To complement the heightened awareness and sensitivity that can arise during ketamine therapy, we thoughtfully incorporate sensory elements that support relaxation, comfort, and presence.

Sense of Smell:
Aromatherapy

Choose from a selection of aromatherapy blends and essential oils to help create a calming and supportive environment during your session. Our team may also recommend specific scents that align with your intentions or emotional needs for the experience.

Sense of Sound:
Music

Music is a deeply important part of the healing experience. We thoughtfully curate playlists designed to gently guide and support you throughout your session, helping create emotional openness, grounding, reflection, and flow during the journey.
 

Your personalized playlist will also be shared with you afterward, as revisiting the music can often help reconnect you with insights and emotions from the experience.

Sense of Touch:
Comfort & Grounding

You may choose to relax in one of our zero-gravity recliners or on supportive floor mats, depending on what feels most comfortable and grounding for your body.
 

The recliners often provide a sense of warmth, safety, and gentle containment, while the floor mats can offer greater grounding and freedom of movement during the session.
 

Soft blankets, weighted blankets, pillows, and other comforting supports are available to help you feel relaxed, secure, and physically at ease throughout your treatment.

Sense of Taste: 
Hydration & Restoration

Following your session, our team will offer Pure Sedona Water sourced directly from the springs to help support hydration and replenishment after your experience.
 

You will also receive a water bottle to use during your visit and take home with you afterward.

Our goal is to create an environment where the nervous system can soften enough for healing, reflection, and reconnection to emerge.

Post Treatment Support

01. Check-In & Reflection

In the days following treatment, emotions, memories, insights, or new perspectives may continue to emerge as part of the integration process. We encourage creating as much space as possible after your session for rest, reflection, and gentle self-awareness. Whenever possible, we recommend taking the following day away from work and limiting major responsibilities so you can fully support your nervous system and continue processing the experience at your own pace. The day following your session, Dr. Sandy will personally check in with you, and at times your Transformational Coach may also connect with you for additional support and guidance.

02. Integration & Continued Healing

Integration is an essential part of the healing process. Your dedicated Transformational Coaching session is held once you have had time to begin sitting with the experience more fully, usually within 3 to 5 days of your medicine experience. During your sessions, you and your coach will explore the emotions, themes, insights, and experiences that emerged during treatment. Together, you will begin identifying meaningful ways to incorporate those insights into your everyday life through supportive practices, increased self-awareness, relational healing, and intentional lifestyle changes. Your Transformational Coach may also help you navigate relationship dynamics, emotional patterns, and internal barriers that may have contributed to feeling stuck or disconnected. We believe the medicine experience itself is only one part of the process. Lasting transformation often comes through the continued reflection, integration, and compassionate changes that unfold afterward. Recommendations for ongoing treatment are individualized and based on your goals, response to treatment, symptom patterns, and the pace of your integration process.

Healing is often less about a single breakthrough and more about the gradual integration of insight, safety, self-awareness, and meaningful change over time.
