Why Odyssey?

While the dominant model of mental health support today focuses on rectifying chemical imbalances in the brain, many more factors affect mental health.

Odyssey provides an innovative, holistic and personalized approach to mental health treatment through psychedelic medicine sessions supported by preparation and integration counselling. As well as our patient platform Odyssey Online, which gives access to additional healing modalities like breathwork. This framework allows participants to achieve positive and lasting change.

Step 2: Preparation

Psychedelic experiences can be among the most intense and meaningful of an individual’s life. Given this, in-depth preparation is an essential component of the Odyssey Therapy Model.

Preparation includes counselling sessions, intention setting and psychedelic education via Odyssey Online, along with other healing practices like breathwork, mediation and somatic techniques.

Participants undergo a counselling session to become clear on their intention and explore personal history which may emerge during the medicine session

We work to reveal the conscious and unconscious beliefs, hopes, and fears related to the psychedelic experience

We provide in-depth psychedelic education to create reasonable expectations, guidance on navigating the experience, and the importance of integration

Participants will also be informed on the guidelines, practicalities, and step-by-step process of the medicine session

Our client portal Odyssey Online, gives convenient connection and access to therapeutic content and other healing modalities like yoga, breathwork and mediation

Step 4: Post Treatment Follow-up Call

A 15-minute follow-up call will be provided within 24 hours of the medicine session.

Findings are then documented in the patient profile.

Step 5: Continued Integration

Without integration, the psychedelic experience fades from memory, without making a lasting impact.

The period following a medicine session is commonly referred to as integration. Integration involves interpreting what came up during your experience and devising a concrete plan to integrate insights and new perspectives into your life.

Participants can make use of Odyssey Online filled with guided meditations and breathwork sessions.

‘Integration helps make altered states into altered traits.’

Within 48 hours after a Ketamine treatment, the participant has a one-on-one counselling session with a counsellor specialized in psychedelic-assisted therapy

Clients are encouraged to use the Odyssey Online resources and classes such as mindful movement and meditation after the medicine session to learn wellness techniques that support integration
