Reclaiming Self : A Ketamine-Assisted Therapy Retreat for Mothers
Reclaiming Self
A return to the woman beneath the roles.
Core Intention
For so many women, life has become an endless cycle of caring for everyone else while quietly abandoning themselves. You hold it all together, but underneath the strength may be exhaustion, emotional numbness, anxiety, people-pleasing, or the feeling that you’ve somehow lost yourself.
You may find yourself constantly overthinking, disconnected from your body, unable to truly rest, or wondering why, despite doing everything “right,” you still don’t feel fulfilled. You’ve become so focused on meeting everyone else’s needs that you’ve forgotten what it feels like to receive care yourself.
This retreat is an invitation to interrupt that cycle.
Retreat Capacity Limited to 10 women-identifying participants
A boutique, intimate psychedelic retreat experience designed to offer personalized support, meaningful connection, and space for deep inner work.

Why IM Ketamine?
For this retreat, we use intramuscular (IM) ketamine to support a deeper, more immersive psychedelic experience. Unlike lower-dose approaches, IM ketamine can facilitate an intense inward journey, creating space to move beyond familiar thought patterns, access emotions and experiences that may be difficult to reach through talk therapy alone, and engage in meaningful therapeutic exploration. The medicine experience is held within a carefully supported setting, with preparation beforehand and intentional integration afterward to help participants make meaning of what emerges.
A Note About IM Ketamine
IM ketamine is administered through an intramuscular injection with a needle, typically into a large muscle. We understand that some participants may have a fear of or strong aversion to needles. Please let us know during the preparation process if this applies to you.
For participants who prefer not to receive an injection, sublingual ketamine (taken by mouth) is available as an alternative. Our team will discuss the differences between these approaches with you and determine the appropriate option as part of your medical evaluation.å
We know you may have questions, and we’ll have plenty of time to walk through the retreat experience, what to expect, preparation, medicine, and logistics during our Virtual Preparation Session.
Whenever possible, we ask that you hold general questions until that session. However, if you have a specific question or concern that may impact your decision to register, please reach out to Dr. Sophia or Aubrey before booking so we can help you determine whether this retreat feels like the right fit.

We can’t wait to welcome you into this intimate experience and create a space where you can feel supported, held, and able to go deeply inward.
