Ketamine & Plant‑Medicine Integration Breathwork
A somatic, experiential approach to integrating expanded‑state experiences
Neurodynamic Breathwork (NDB) offers a grounded, accessible way to integrate insights, emotions, and nervous‑system shifts that arise during ketamine therapy or plant‑medicine experiences such as psilocybin, ayahuasca, MDMA‑assisted therapy, or other expanded‑state modalities. These experiences open powerful windows of neuroplasticity, emotional access, and inner clarity. Integration is where those openings become lasting transformation.
Understanding Expanded‑State Work and the Default Mode Network (DMN)
Whether through ketamine or plant medicine, expanded‑state therapies temporarily soften the Default Mode Network (DMN) — the part of the brain involved in self‑narrative, rumination, identity patterns, and the “story of who I am.”
When the DMN becomes rigid (often due to trauma, chronic stress, or long‑held emotional patterns), people may feel stuck in looping thoughts, depressive rumination, or outdated identity structures.
Expanded‑state experiences loosen this rigidity. People often encounter:
expanded perspective
emotional distance from trauma
symbolic or archetypal imagery
a sense of clarity, openness, or “reset”
access to deeper emotional or somatic layers
This window is powerful — and temporary.
The medicine opens the psyche; integration helps anchor what emerges.
Why Integration Matters
The insights, emotions, and symbolic material that surface during ketamine or plant‑medicine work often need a pathway to settle into the body. Without integration, these experiences can:
fade quickly
feel incomplete
remain ungrounded
create overwhelm or confusion
open more than they resolve
Integration is the process of helping your system reorganize around what the medicine revealed — so the experience becomes meaningful, embodied, and usable in your daily life.
How Breathwork Supports Integration
Neurodynamic Breathwork is a somatic, experiential practice that complements both ketamine and plant‑medicine work by helping the body and psyche process what was opened.
Breathwork works directly with the same inner‑directed intelligence activated by expanded‑state therapies. It supports:
emotional release
somatic movement
symbolic processing
nervous‑system regulation
grounded presence
integration of insights into lived experience
After expanded‑state work, the DMN is flexible and reorganizable. Breathwork helps it settle into healthier patterns rather than snapping back into old loops. It also provides a way for unfinished emotional or somatic material to surface and complete — especially when the medicine reveals but does not resolve deeper layers.
Some people feel ungrounded or “floaty” after ketamine or plant medicine. Breathwork brings them back into the body — into sensation, breath, and emotional truth — so the experience becomes integrated rather than dissociated.
What a Breathwork Integration Session Looks Like
Each session is complete and self‑contained.
We begin with gentle somatic preparation to help you arrive in your body and orient to the breathwork process.
The breathwork session itself lasts 60–90 minutes and allows your inner process to unfold naturally through breath‑induced non‑ordinary states.
Afterward, we close with grounding and space to notice what feels alive.
This work is somatic and experiential.
It does not involve interpretation, analysis, or clinical guidance.
You remain in full agency, and the breath leads the experience.
How Many Sessions Are Typical
There is no standard number.
Some people come for one session after a ketamine infusion or plant‑medicine ceremony. Others return when something in their body feels ready for more.
I do not prescribe or recommend a set number.
Your body will tell you what it needs.
Who This Work Supports
This offering is for individuals working with:
ketamine therapy (infusions, IM, or lozenges)
psilocybin (ceremonial or therapeutic settings)
ayahuasca
MDMA‑assisted therapy
microdosing protocols
other plant‑medicine or expanded‑state modalities
emotional or symbolic material emerging after a journey
periods of neuroplastic openness or inner transition
It is especially supportive for those who want a somatic, non‑clinical, inner‑directed pathway for integration.
Important Scope Clarifications
This work is not psychotherapy, clinical mental‑health treatment, interpretation, or diagnosis.
It is not a substitute for medical or psychological care.
Breathwork is a somatic, experiential practice that supports integration within the limits of my training.
About Your Facilitator
I am a certified NeuroDynamic Breathwork Facilitator.
My work is grounded in somatic awareness, inner‑directed healing, and non‑directive support.
I do not diagnose, interpret, or treat mental‑health conditions.
My role is to facilitate breathwork sessions that help your body and psyche integrate what ketamine or plant medicine opened — within the scope of my certification.
