"My anxiety went through the roof thanks to Covid. I hid myself away from family and friends. Then my marriage got rocky and I knew I had to do something. When I met Dr Reitman, he told me his clients had been recovering from years-long struggles with anxiety and depression. I figured “What do I have to lose?” Having treatment at home really put me at ease and working with my Mindfield coach makes me feel like a weight has been lifted off me."
Why Ketamine?
IV ketamine therapy addresses the root causes of many mental health conditions and can create lasting change by facilitating brain plasticity and healing.

Ketamine produces profound and rapid antidepressant effects in one to four hours, including reducing negative ruminating thoughts.

Ketamine works differently than traditional antidepressants and is often effective when SSRIs fail.

After my mother’s sudden death I began to slip into depression. I tried all the meds, even tried TMS, but nothing worked. I had suicidal thoughts for the first time in my life and it scared me. After one ketamine infusion with Dr Reitman my suicidal thoughts disappeared and after the course of 6 sessions I finally feel whole again.

In some patients, ketamine may have the following side effects:
- Temporary increase in blood pressure
- Temporary nausea or vomiting (we administer a medication to prevent this from happening)
- A sense of impaired balance and coordination during the experience and for a short time afterward
- A feeling of dizziness, drowsiness, slurred speech, and/or numbing sensation of the skin which will quickly pass as your experience is concluded
These side effects are normal, rarely require any medical intervention, and resolve soon after the infusion ends.

Clinical research has shown that an initial course of six ketamine treatments over three weeks is optimal. After this initial course of treatment, you and your Clinician will develop an individualized treatment plan to best meet your continuing medical needs. This commonly begins with subsequent treatments spaced two weeks apart, as you continue to calibrate your response to treatment and work with your therapist. The duration of effect following each treatment differs in each individual, and those who experience benefits lasting several weeks or even months may choose to extend the timeline between treatments accordingly.

At Mindfield Wellness we help prepare you for the optimal healing experience. The set and the setting of the experience is vital to assisting you in obtaining the most potential for growth.
Your at-home ketamine experience starts when a Mindfield nurse arrives at your location, most likely your home, where you will be most comfortable. You will need to provide a picture ID. Your ketamine experience will take place in what you consider to be a safe, quiet and private location in your home where you will not be interrupted. If there are children in the home, they should be cared for by a responsible adult in a separate location in or outside of your home for at least one hour and a half during your ketamine experience. Pets should be securely located in a separate location to your treatment area prior to the arrival of your nurse.
Our medical staff will prepare your IV and walk you through the stages of the experience.
You’ll be provided with an eye mask – we strongly recommend that you keep your eyes closed throughout the experience to maximize your relaxation.
Additionally, listening to music during your ketamine experience has been shown to make the experience more enjoyable. We have specially curated playlists for the experience or you may provide your own music. Our nurse can provide you with headphones and access to our playlists if you desire.
During the ketamine experience, our nurse will continuously monitor your heart rate and CO2 levels. Although ketamine therapy is proven to be very safe, our nurse is prepared for any emergency situation that may arise.
When the IV is finished, you’ll slowly start to feel your normal bodily sensations returning: you may feel like moving your feet and hands or
stretching. It’s important not to rush your re-awakening. Continue your relaxation until you regain your equilibrium. You may feel like discussing your experience with your nurse. Once you are up and mobile, you must refrain from driving, working with sharp objects or machinery as you would after having any anesthesia.
