We’re 6 Months Old!

Entering our 6th month of operations, we are excited to share an update about our offerings and growth at AIMS Institute:

Introducing our Newest Team Members

AIMS is thrilled to welcome two new members to our Patient Care Coordination team – Meaghan McKracken and Hila Dean. These ladies are multitalented, super resourceful and unwavering in their commitment to serve our patients. Here’s a bit more about them:

We’re 6 Months Old!

Meaghan McKracken joined the front of office team in January. She enjoys the dynamic care she is witness to here at AIMS and the connections grown from working with all of the amazing patients that are called to work with our clinic. On top of working with many health clinics over the years in many diverse roles, Meaghan is a Licensed Massage Therapist who has been in practice actively for 12 years. She has recently transitioned from working full-time in bodywork, to teaching massage, and now to building bodywork and massage into the AIMS Institute. Stay tuned for more as we work to bring these services and more to AIMS!

We’re 6 Months Old!

Hila, psychonaut and neuroqueer human, joined us just a few short weeks ago. When she is not helping AIMS patients, she is studying therapeutic & spiritual use of psychotropics for the purpose of optimal daily life experience. This pursuit will continue in the fall, when she attends the California Institute of Integral Studies (CIIS). Hila is also a recovery and transformational coach. She will be facilitating the AIMS Institute Psychedelic Integration group, which is open to all members of the public. She is a yogi, writer, and community organizer.

We’re adjusting IV Therapy and Ketamine-Assisted Therapy pricing

AIMS Institute is updating our Ketamine-Assisted Therapy (KAP) program and IV C Therapy pricing to more accurately reflect the value patients receive from this service as well as the real operational costs to our institute. This change is in service of the long-term health and expansion of these programs and will ensure ketamine assisted therapy and IV therapy remain at AIMS Institute for many years to come!

Starting on April 1st, KAP out-of-pocket costs will be:

We’re 6 Months Old!

* Please note that these prices reflect cost per session, not the entire 6-week track.

Starting on April 15th, IV Vitamin C out-of-pocket costs will be:

We’re 6 Months Old!

* Please note that these prices reflect the cost for the entire 6-week track.

Keeping our services accessible to our beloved community is not just a slogan for us–it’s what makes AIMS, AIMS! If cost is a concern from you, please note that we offer low-dose ketamine sessions with our psychotherapy team starting at $50 and have low-interest payment plans available. Patients with ketamine lozenge prescriptions may use them with our therapy team free of charge.

Have any questions or concerns? Feel free to reach out and we will get back to you quickly.

Public Psychedelic Integration Group
Our newest team member, Hila Dean, will be facilitating a Psychedelic Integration Group. This group is open to the public and is an opportunity to connect with others working with psychedelic medicines in their healing journey. At AIMS we believe that the lifelong work of integration—the process of making meaning from information gained through work with psychedelic medicines—is greatly enhanced by processing together with others. To RSVP and find more information, click here.

What: Psychedelic Integration Group

When: April 24th 7:00-9:00 pm (and every other Wednesday evening going forthcoming)

Where: AIMS Institute (2825 Eastlake Ave E STE 115 Seattle, WA 98102)

Cost: $20

Give us a Call!
We would love to hear from you if you have questions, bold ideas, or if you’d like to make an appointment. Thank you for your support and for your collaboration in our dogged pursuit of integrative health!

In health,

The AIMS Team

Ketamine assisted psychotherapy in postpartum mood and anxiety disorders: a limited case series

Ketamine assisted psychotherapy in postpartum mood and anxiety disorders: a limited case series

Alka Christnacht1Therry Rose Eparwa1,2Emily Whinkin2*Sunil Aggarwal2,3 The postpartum period is notorious for rapid and profound changes for birthing individuals and their families. Significant shifts to hormonal and physical health, routines and family roles, and the salience of personal and community risk factors all contribute to potential psychiatric and psychological distress for parents, sometimes diagnosed as a postpartum mood or anxiety disorder (PMAD). Existing pharmacologic treatment modalities for PMADs do not comprehensively address the profound shifts of the postpartum period, often inadequate at reaching peak therapeutic efficacy in a shorter time frame, in patient accessibility, or offering sustained benefit. Ketamine assisted ...
