Private 1:1 MDMA-assisted therapy session in Lake Atitlan

We are a nonprofit association offering legal, individual 1:1 psychedelic-assisted therapy sessions to those in need. MDMA has been shown to be particularly effective for PTSD and CPTSD because it uniquely addresses both the emotional and physiological components of trauma in ways that other psychedelics, like psylocibin, do not.

Unlike standard psychedelics, which can intensify emotions unpredictably, MDMA allows for emotional processing in a controlled way. MDMA increases oxytocin, serotonin, and dopamine, which promote feelings of safety, connection, and self-compassion.This makes it easier for patients to engage difficult memories without shutting down or dissociating. MDMA also promotes neuroplasticity, allowing new perspectives and more flexible, compassionate self-narratives to arise.

The Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS) has conducted extensive research on MDMA-assisted therapy for treating Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and have yielded promising results

We are graduates of Somatic Plant Medicine Integration certification and have completed professional training in the Trauma-informed Plant Medicine Masterclass offered by Atira Tan. We are signatories of the North Star ethics pledge for psychedelic practitioners, guided by integrity and sincerity as foundational principles in our work.

Based on the standard protocol for clinical practice developed by Johns Hopkins University, Imperial College London, the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies and others, our sessions are conducted individually, in comfortable, quiet, cosy indoor environments, close to nature, with one or more monitors present at all times to offer non-intrusive, non-directive care and support. We invite individuals to embark on a long-term, multi-stage journey with us, in which the session itself is merely one phase.

Our approach is grounded in psychosomatic therapy and incorporates elements of Dr Peter Levine´s Somatic Experiencing, Dr David Bercelli´s Trauma Release Exercises, emotional release exercises from the Reichian tradition of body-based psychoanalysis, and breathwork-based methods of nervous-system autoregulation.
