The Nushama Difference

Guided by a team with deep and recognized expertise in mental health, design, and community building, Nushama applies hospitality to medicine and provides a holistic path of mindful intention setting, ketamine journeys, and thoughtful integration therapy in safe, healing-focused settings.

Medically led, our approach to resetting and reconnecting helps you know yourself and find your way back to a state of well-being. It is this journey that makes our disconnected world a better place by reconnecting us with ourselves and rediscovering our life’s purpose and the community that inspires it.

“I had crippling anxiety and depression my entire life. After each journey, I felt more comfortable in my own skin, and during my 6th journey, I was able to truly tell myself, ‘I love me,’ something I never truly and honestly felt before. Nushama has changed my life, and it will change many others in their own special ways.”

Preparation & Integration

At Nushama, we emphasize preparation and integration because getting the most out of your psychedelic journey will require both. From medical intake, breathwork, and intention setting to key insights, our team supports you to incorporate learnings into your daily life for lasting change.

02
High-dose IV-ketamine Journeys for Individuals

There are other ways ketamine can be administered, but intravenous (IV) infusions are the safest and most efficacious method according to the latest studies. While others may use intranasal sprays or lozenges, at Nushama, you receive the maximum benefits of ketamine treatment in the safest way possible.
03
Community Programming

We believe that healing happens in community—meaningful connections are vital to mental and emotional health. We host events year-round for our members to come together and connect with people who share a desire for healing, growth and well-being.

Set & Setting Innovation

Set and setting are vital in psychedelic therapy. Nushama goes to great lengths to create an immersive, journey-like experience the moment members enter our center. Attention has gone into every detail, ensuring that when you begin your journey, your mind and body are in the best place for healing.
05
Medical Supervision & Expertise

Chief Medical Officer Dr. Steven Radowitz is a leading doctor in the emerging world of psychedelic medicine, believing disease is actually “dis-ease” from a misalignment of mind, body & spirit. He and the team have administered thousands of journeys for mood disorders and are known to be best-in-class and among the most experienced globally.
06
Financial Support

Paying for psychedelic therapy is an investment in yourself, but at Nushama, we recognize that the price of treatment can be a significant barrier to healing for many people. Nushama offers a “Hero’s Journey” program for frontline workers and first responders offering group therapy at reduced rates, as well as financial-based scholarships. Nushama also offers group therapy cohorts periodically at half the price of the full protocol.

07
Informed & Influenced by Tradition & History

“Nushama” comes from the Hebrew word for soul, “Neshama,” and is a play on the words “new shaman” since shamans were the original plant medicine healers. We honor practices originating in Indigenous tribes for millennia, and psychedelic luminaries, naming rooms after them and filling our library with their books.

08
The Intersection of Science & Spirituality

Our medically backed, evidence-based treatment protocols are informed by all the latest trials, studies, and data. Research also reinforces the importance of the mystical experience – an altered state of consciousness – in achieving successful, lasting change.
