Learn how & why I practice the art of sacred medicine 

Sacred Service (Seva)

All of my work is based on the tenet of Seva, a Sanskrit term from my culture that roughly translated means selfless service. It is making the way we serve a ceremonial part of our everyday life. Seva is also about more than just caring for others—it’s vital that we also care for ourselves to ensure we are doing our own ongoing healing, and have clear boundaries around our capacity to continue to care for others. I do this work because I believe deeply in giving back to the communities that give me the privilege to do this work, and because I want others to understand the way you serve and care for yourselves is a form of Seva. It is remembering that all we do is because of the grace of those who came before us.

Inclusive Reciprocity (Belonging)

I foster a culture of inclusion and reciprocal care where everyone connected to my practice feels seen, heard, and respected. I acknowledge the deep history and ancestry of the medicine I practice, and show gratitude for the cultures this medicine comes from by offering reciprocal models that educate patients on its origins and make the care accessible to the descendants of those communities. I am deeply rooted in care practices and monetary models that are built on a foundation of reciprocity to cultivate restorative relationships with those who are most marginalized. I believe a deep sense of belonging is a path to healing.  

Radical Empathy (Compassion)

I am a deeply caring person who is committed to being as authentic as possible. This means I bring consciousness and compassion into every experience I encounter both within my work as a practitioner and in my work to evolve the world of medicine. In my work with patients, this shows up as a deep commitment to bringing honesty and empathy into every interaction and being truly present with patients to offer them the time and attention necessary to ensure they receive excellent care. 

Healing Justice (Joy)

I am a social justice warrior who has witnessed some of the hardest inequities this world has to offer. This is why I choose joy as a healing practice; joy can exist alongside the pain and offers the capacity to hold it. It helps me uphold my faith in a world filled with suffering and hardship. I believe joy and justice are often intertwined because accessing deep joy in our bodies is a form of justice—every living person is deeply deserving of an equitable existence that allows them to experience both of these things as often as possible. 

Expert Leadership (Integrity)

My extensive experience in mainstream community and academic medicine has taught me how critical it is to offer the highest quality care in a safe and compassionate manner. My expertise blends together the highest level of training in conventional medicine, integrative and psychedelic medicine, and the facilitation of small groups in trauma healing. I am also tenacious in my capacity to serve others and my own spiritual growth, inspiring others in the vulnerability of my humanity and my care for yours. I am deeply invested in the quality of my work because I believe it has the potential to revolutionize medicine and dramatically improve the lives of patients and practitioners.

“Gratitude fundamentally changes our relationship to pain—it removes our resistance to it.”

Reciprocity & Equity business model 

Aligned with two of my core values of reciprocity and equity, I offer a care model that is both transparent as well as including a small step in daily reparations. I cannot heal all of the wrongs of our society in any one gesture, but taking no action heals no one, including ourselves. I invite all of my patients and colleagues to offer Seva in all of our actions, large and small.

Central to my practice is a pricing model that values my unique and vast expertise along with the depths of the education I bring to this work even when larger systems fail to do so. This values my work as a Brown woman in the field on the same level as that of expertise in the dominant society. This also allows me to sustain and regenerate my capacity for activism and service in the community.

I also commit to reciprocity for Black and Indigenous communities, whose millenia-old wisdom is the source of our knowledge on altered states of consciousness work. If you identify as an individual from these communities, please reduce the fees by 15%.

As reparations in the future, when I am solvent, a portion of all clinical fees will be contributed to a 501c3 organization that I will be creating to fund low-cost ketamine journeys for Black and Indigenous communities.
