Hello! As a lot of you know, I am a survivor of DV and I am now contending with treatment-resistant PTSD, anxiety, and depression. I have been through a lot and the science is there to suggest that medically-supervised ketamine psychotherapy provided through Cena Life in Edmonton will be an important part of helping my brain heal. Up to 80% of people treated with it go on to heal completely and move on to have happy, fulfilling lives, free from serious mental health suffering.

I am choosing Cena Life as my clinic of choice because of their high standards of care. This is a very delicate process for me, healing from domestic violence, life long abuse, and adoption and foster care trauma. Set and setting matter very much to this type of healing process. I am very traumatized and need to be surrounded by health care workers who are both informed of and sensitive to this.

From the Cena Life website:

”At Cena Life, we offer a 6-week intramuscular ketamine program supported by a licensed interdisciplinary team that delivers the programming in a supportive, welcoming environment. Ketamine is available in various methods, including oral/sublingual, intranasal, intramuscular, and intravenously. At Cena, we offer intramuscular ketamine.

Our clients engage with several team members dedicated to meeting them where they are and walking with them throughout their healing journey. This journey begins with thorough preparation.

Our licensed clinician will review the client’s medical and mental health history, then participate in a comprehensive psychiatric assessment.

After the assessment, if approved, our clients meet with a licensed psychologist to discover their intention and/or goals for the program. The next step is to schedule four (4) one-on-one RN-led ketamine administration sessions, each followed by an integration session with a psychologist.

As everyone’s experience is unique, ongoing maintenance for KAP is assessed individually.”

I need a program that offers tender and compassionate care and that is specifically why Cena Life exists- it was started by nurses who left the medical world because of its lack of compassionate care for those with mental health struggles.

The cost for the treatment is as follows:
