Introduction to Ketamine-Assisted Integration
Ketamine has the unique ability to unlock deeper parts of the mind that are often difficult to access in day-to-day life. But the real transformation happens before and after—the journey is just the beginning. With the support of integration coaching, clients can uncover insights, process emotions, and reconnect to themselves in powerful new ways.
How Ketamine-Assisted Integration Works
Each experience is unique. You may enter reflective or dreamlike states that offer new clarity and emotional release. With compassionate guidance before and after, you’ll have space to integrate what arises and explore how to move forward with purpose.
Benefits of Ketamine-Assisted Integration
Anxiety Relief
Stress & Pain Reduction
Improved Focus
Releasing Limiting Beliefs
Real-Life Examples
Job Loss
Even though new work is found, emotions from being terminated may linger and cause procrastination, insecurity, or detachment for years. EFT helps clear those patterns.
Burnout
EFT helps identify how and why burnout occurred and rewires the response so future overwhelm is minimized.
Childhood Trauma
Many beliefs were formed during intense moments early in life. EFT reveals these patterns and rewires them for present-moment empowerment.
The Science Behind Ketamine-Assisted Integration
Ketamine-assisted integration combines the power of neuroscience with intentional support. Ketamine works by boosting glutamate and enhancing neuroplasticity, helping the brain “rewire” and break out of stuck emotional patterns. It also quiets the part of the brain responsible for overthinking and rumination, often creating space for deep insight and emotional clarity. But the real transformation happens after the journey—with integration coaching that helps process what came up, make meaning from it, and turn insights into lasting change. It’s a powerful blend of science, presence, and support.

FAQ
If Ketamine is fairly easy to obtain (illegally) why should I work with you?
In short, it’s not really the Ketamine that is going to impress you. Some may be surprised to learn that the medicine, Ketamine, actually contributes to only about 10% of the success of the program that so many are raving about. Just think, once the door is unlocked…then what? It actually gets better, a lot better.
In short, what you hope to get out of this experience will have been created together before taking the medication. You will also learn a very popular stress management technique called ‘Tapping or EFT’.
You will experience Ketamine with a professional by your side and capturing everything you say. After this one low-dose of Ketamine the brain will be in a heightened neuroplastic state for a min of 14-30 days. We take advantage of this window to help create strong pathways leading to long-term habits and changes. We do this in several integration sessions in the weeks following. Most, if not all people that participated in trying Ketamine with Integration Coaching said it is the entire program that creates these life changes worth sharing. Give it a try today and see what changes you can see 30 days from now!
What should I expect during our Ketamine Assisted Integration sessions?
To begin, Meridian EFT offers two EFT & Ketamine Integration programs:
The first is a “Reset & Reboot” for the business professional or health care worker. Stress or burnout (or both) has crept in and even routine has a foul smell to it now. This professional knows a kickstart back into routine is needed. You’re functioning just fine but would like to be more than baseline.
The second is when waves in the troubled waters have become too much to navigate alone and getting to shore seems like a good idea. PTSD may be present or perhaps old memories or rumination is circling more than sustainable. Someone told you there are alternative ways to stop sinking.
For 30 days, we do a total deep-dive into what you want to change, accept, or let go of, maybe do more of, it’s all about you and your new patterns of enjoyment, fulfillment, or maybe even contentment. We start talking about what life would look like without ‘this’ looming over your head.
We begin this incredible experience with two sessions. The first is about getting to know you, what is working for you now…and what isn’t. Individualized EFT is introduced and yours to keep whenever the need arises. You fill out a questionnaire and bring it to the next session; prior to using Ketamine. We craft your intention or desire of what you want to achieve during these upcoming 30 days, answer any questions before proceeding.
During the actual Ketamine retreat, you will be at Paradise Valley Wellness Center for several hours, and Corey Snowden, EFT Practitioner will be with you throughout the entire experience.
For 10-21 days after taking Ketamine we will meet either in-person or a zoom to find out how you’re doing, if there are any areas to troubleshoot and overall changes made, especially with the desired goals. If any unresolved traumas or extreme heightened experiences arise, if feasible, we will use EFT to set these aside until this program is completed.
What if I don’t like Ketamine or find it helpful?
You may not like Ketamine and that is okay. The overall experience of Ketamine is usually only about 90 minutes in length. To reiterate, Ketamine is only about 10% of this program so once that 90 minutes is over the real changes can begin.
We will thoroughly discuss concerns or possible fears you may have about Ketamine long before you actually take it to minimize anxiety or nervousness ahead of time. Some have found it reassuring to know Ketamine is safe for children when sedation/dissociative is needed and has been used in hospital settings for nearly 50 years. It was only recently discovered that it works very well for depression, stress, burnout, and pain.
Are there any side effects to using Ketamine?
Everyone experiences side effects differently. We are using the smallest dose possible to minimize side effects. We strongly encourage you to do your research ahead of time if you are concerned. Please bring your questions to our pre-Ketamine Integration session.
Do I have to tell you about my trauma for Ketamine to work? What do you need to know?
What’s the difference between Ketamine used by itself and Ketamine combined with EFT & Integration Coaching?
HUGE! When asking people that have tried it both ways, 100% of the responses have been ‘work with the coach’. It’s a safer, more comfortable approach and provides a very strong potential for long-lasting changes. Taking advantage of the disrupted state of the stress response for weeks after taking Ketamine provides an exceptional window for practitioners and clients to work on limiting beliefs, unwanted stress response patterns and burnout that can often creep in our lives without even realizing it.
Who does Ketamine work for?
Certain medications and some health issues can interfere with Ketamine. It is important to work with a licensed prescriber to ensure your health is being taken care of at all times. At Meridian EFT, we work with a vetted, trusted group of prescribing professionals that will provide you with the best care possible. You may also use your own provider if that makes you more comfortable.
Bottom line, we want you to be ready for this journey so we take every precaution and will leave no stone unturned until you are comfortable. We encourage you to research Therapeutic Ketamine along with Ketamine Integration Coaching. I am also happy to share studies about Ketamine.
Noted, like many other drugs Ketamine also holds space in the illegal & misused category. Unprescribed Ketamine is noted in certain communities as a party drug which sadly gives therapeutic Ketamine some challenges. Help us take part in keeping Ketamine available for therapeutic use by agreeing to dispose of any unused Ketamine on the day of your retreat before leaving the facility. This is something we take very seriously so we made it a policy of Meridian EFT. Thankfully, our amazing and very effective program is designed so you hopefully won’t need another dose. 🙂
Ketamine seems weird/woo-woo too good to be true? Does it really work?
Being a total non-believer too, and I mean total cynic, nope that ‘Ketamine’ stuff is not for me-type person, I can say I hear you loud & clear. Years went by and finally one day I tried it for myself. Yep, it totally worked for me and then some. That was the day I decided to sign up to be a certified integration coach and add Ketamine Coaching to my practice. Since then I have heard dozens of similar stories from people just totally impressed by their own experience with it. Again just ‘unlocking a door’ is what Ketamine is known for. Walking through it is where things get really fascinating.
Best I can suggest is research it, ask around, schedule some time with me and I’ll answer any questions I can and take it from there. It’s your life, your journey, and your decision. I’m looking forward to meeting you soon!
