What is Ketamine Therapy?

Ketamine, originally used as an anesthetic, is now recognized as a powerful tool for mental health. In low doses, ketamine helps repair and rewire the brain, making it especially effective for individuals whose conditions have not improved with traditional treatments. Administered through a safe and relaxing IV infusion, ketamine provides quick relief and starts the healing process.

Take the First Step Toward Healing

If you’ve been searching for new answers to depression, anxiety, trauma, or chronic pain, Ketamine Infusion Therapy with psychotherapy integration could be the breakthrough you need.

How Shauna can Help You

Ease Pain Naturally: If chronic pain is holding you back, Shauna can prescribe targeted therapies, such as anti-inflammatory medications or supplements like turmeric, which studies show can reduce pain by 30% (Journal of Medicinal Food, 2016). She also offers integrative options like red light therapy to support long-term relief.

 

Reduce Inflammation: Inflammation can worsen conditions like arthritis or depression. Shauna uses a functional medicine approach, prescribing omega-3 supplements—proven to lower inflammation by 25% (Frontiers in Immunology, 2019)—alongside dietary guidance to help your body heal from within.

 

Boost Energy: Feeling tired all the time? Shauna specializes in hormone optimization, prescribing bioidentical hormones or vitamin D to restore energy levels, as supported by a 2021 study showing a 20% energy improvement (Journal of Endocrinology). She’ll also recommend lifestyle changes to keep you active and vibrant.

 

Sleep Better Tonight: Poor sleep affects your mind and body. Shauna can prescribe low-dose melatonin—shown to improve sleep quality by 15% (Sleep Medicine Reviews, 2017)—or magnesium supplements, while integrating holistic practices like Tai Chi Yoga to calm your nervous system for restful nights.

 

Skip the Medical System Hoops: Tired of long waits and endless referrals? Shauna provides direct, compassionate care. As an FNP, she can diagnose, treat, and prescribe right here at Ascend, saving you time and stress. Whether you need a medication adjustment or a natural solution, Shauna makes healthcare simple and accessible.
