A medical doctor Psychiatrist provides medical and mental health advice.

Many people, the world over, visit plant medicine or psychedelic retreats. Everyone has their own motivations but also their own medical and mental health history. We exist so you can understand any or all medical and mental health reasons that are relevant for you personally. Being informed will make you feel more aware about your any mental or medical risks.

Talk to a concerned open minded professional

Our advice could be to do more contemplative or spiritual practices and/ or therapy before you are psychologically or medically safe for a retreat; Or to consult your own medical doctor to re-evaluate or ween off any medications.

You will, receive personalized medical and mental health advice.

This is no guarantee for any (safe) outcome because the set and setting are very important and any accidental or intended omissions and other circumstances cannot be taken into consideration.

Why would I need this?

Psychedelics and ancient sacred plant or natural medicines can be the most intense experience of a lifetime.

2) Discuss your situation

The Medical & Mental Health Screening is $295
This includes the online intake, a medical and mental health consultation and personalised advice.

Many psychedelics are metabolized by an enzyme in your liver called CYP2D6, while several antidepressants (fluoxetine, paroxetine, bupropion, duloxetine) are known to inhibit this enzyme. Before we get into the concerns and answering some of the questions surrounding antidepressant and psychedelic use, it is recommended to perform a thorough and thoughtful reflection on whether it’s truly a good time to try psychedelics and/or discontinue your antidepressant.

Harmful Interactions
While most psychedelics have been proven to be relatively safe, some of them are more taxing on the body than others, and some interact in harmful ways with other drugs or medications.

Mental disorders
Some people who have un-diagnosed mental disorders or a strong genetic predisposition to mental disorders could have their disorder triggered early by psychedelics.

You don’t want to expose yourself to unnecessary medical or psychological risks when you are not yet ready medically and/or emotionally.

Medications
If you are on medication, you will receive medical advice on the potential risks. Psychedelic psychiatry provides a preliminary diagnosis plus an assessment of any medical or psychological risks.

We provide independent medical advice. We do not endorse or promote any substance. We promote medical safety and professional advice.

Remember
Psychedelics are NOT for everyone! And sometimes not yet. Book a call and inform yourself. Be safe.
