In this episode I chat with Angela Ward, a registered nurse from the US about her work with psychedelics for mental health, specifically ketamine. This is a booming area of research and I wanted to talk with someone specifically trained in this area.

Bio and Contact info:

The psychedelic renaissance is taking the world by storm. With exciting evidence coming out of clinical trials, and anecdotal information of people experiencing powerful transformation, how best might a person explore this territory? How might clinicians best support their patients interested in pursuing this healing modality?

As a Registered Nurse, Transformational Coach, and "Soul Midwife", Angela Ward of Guardian at the Gateway brings a unique blend of nursing care and psychedelic-assisted therapy, developed over her years at the bedside, and honed by over 400 hours providing ketamine-assisted therapy and coaching to her clients.
