Our customized ketamine sessions combine thoughtfully curated psychedelic medicine journeys, provided by a Pala Medicine physician, with additional support from one our partner facilitators. Each brings a unique approach and energy to this work, and all are highly skilled in one or more complementary techniques that help you get even more out of your healing journey.

What does it cost?

You’ll pay Pala Medicine $400 per session for the clinical portion of your ketamine journey, which is administered by a physician via intramuscular injection (IM) .

Prior to your first session you will also need to complete a medical evaluation appointment. The cost for this is $150 and is only required once. 

You’ll separately pay your Expert Facilitator for their support time at hourly rates that vary between $125-200/hour.

Vibrational Sound Healing and Embodied Coaching 

Shane Aspegren

Shane Aspegren’s holistic practice (ONDO Holistic) combines his creative background (as a multi-disciplinary artist-musician) alongside 20+ years of personal exploration, study, and professional training in a wide range of healing, coaching, wellness, and contemplative modalities and traditions including: sound healing / vibrational therapy, trauma-informed somatic coaching, yoga (500+ hours of YTT including Meridian Yoga Therapy), meditation, breath, and facilitation & preparation / integration / transformational coaching for expanded states.

About the Experience

Shane Aspegren of ONDO Holistic has partnered with Pala Medicine to offer our clients the powerful combination of sound healing and ketamine medicine. The individual sessions offer each client a profound and deeply somatic and healing experience of therapeutic vibration to enhance and potentiate the benefits of ketamine. 

The ketamine session is recommended in conjunction with this modality of sound bowls and tuning forks directly on and around the body, however there is also the option of an experience that could incorporate a combination of vibrational sound with a recorded music journey. Small group sessions (maximum of 4 people) can also be arranged at a discounted cost per person.

This combination of sound and ketamine can be even more effective in combination with Preparation & Integration Coaching with Shane, and/or by adding sound healing sessions in between ketamine sessions to “remind” the soma (body-mind) of the deepened state of resonance that it has experienced in the medicine session.

Client Testimonials

   Shane’s gentle guidance helped me sense and release emotions that had been stuck in my body. My integration with Shane continues, and most notable changes I have embodied are no longer needing alcohol to numb emotions, enjoying using my voice and feeling emotions with my heart. I only wish I had found this healing experience sooner. Thank you Shane! 
— C.B., 47

   Shane is a wonderfully caring, safe, and skilled coach. This process noticeably increased my capacity to be gentle and patient with myself, and to return more and more frequently to a feeling of self love and trust. I worked through some sensitive issues and didn’t feel judged even for a moment. I highly recommend working with him; you are in excellent hands.
— Ari, 34

   Shane, I want to tell you how grateful I am for your support and thoughtful facilitation. I felt safe with you and you were very attentive throughout the entire process. Your openness to receiving feedback allowed me to have a powerful and meaningful experience. Thank you for doing this life changing work.
— P. Lennon, PhD., 78

   In my eyes Shane was meant to be doing this work. My experience was better than I could have ever imagined. The attention to detail from the cozy set up, to the sound and the experience as a whole was stellar. Shane makes sure his presence is known but gives you the space you need at the same time. The integration coaching Shane offers is helping me so much in my day to day life.
— Maggie, 36

   It was a transformative, serene, therapeutic, and at times blissful experience, full of soulful insights and awareness. I gained a lot of insight about my life purpose and received many reminders about how I’m allowing myself to be held back by attachment, conditioning and fear. I learned that many of the blocks in my life were self-created through limiting beliefs and habitual thoughts and I was able to shatter those blocks by reclaiming my power. Although my life has not changed on the outside, how I view the world and my inner world has changed dramatically.
— C.Y., 56

   Shane’s guidance was truly exceptional—his presence created a space where I felt completely safe and supported, allowing me to explore my mind, heart, and being with ease. His wisdom and care removed obstacles before they could arise, making the process one of true openness and discovery.
— D.E., 45

How it works…

Step 1: Book a discovery call with your expert facilitator

Step 2: Customize a program that works for you 

Step 3: Once signed up your facilitator will guide you through the rest of the process.

Ketamine is administered by a board-certified physician in the safety and comfort of our specially-designed facility at Pala Medicine in Pasadena.

A Medical Evaluation appointment is required before starting any ketamine program. Participants must plan for a safe ride home following each ketamine session.

Unique paths on the healing journey…

Some facilitators work with just one or two sessions, but a typical engagement includes preparation time before the first journey, support during each journey and immediately following (about 2-2.5 hours), and in-between integrations calls or in-person sessions that add unique depth to your overall psychedelic healing journey. 

A standard series of 4 to 6 journey sessions typically requires 16 to 24 hours of overall support, over a period of 8-10 weeks.

Please note…

Working with one of our partner facilitators is an alternative to our standard Pala Journey & Integration offering and is not required to access our core services. Partner facilitators are independent businesses providing independent services. They are not employees of Pala Medicine. For both ethical and legal reasons, there are no referral fees or ‘kickbacks’ involved. You simply pay your facilitator separately as an independent contractor for their services.
