Certified Integration & Recovery Coaching
Integration of Ketamine Therapy
Ketamine infusion therapy is quickly becoming a widespread and transformative tool for healing, and is already being used to help those struggling with treatment-resistant depression, anxiety, PTSD, OCD, bipolar depression, postpartum depression, substance abuse recovery, and a litany of chronic pain and autoimmune indications (with a confidant 83% success rate at NeuroRelief™ Ketamine & Infusion Therapy).
Not only is it effective in rewiring the brain at the neurochemical level, it also has the potential to help clients heal past traumas, create awareness around unhealthy behaviors and patterns, and act as a catalyst for profound change in one’s quality of life experience.
Working with an integration coach can help clients to identify patterns, attachments & challenging emotions; learn how to sit with and process their feelings & emotions in a healthy way; examine their daily routines & lifestyle and identify where they can implement healthy changes; and more.
Each one of us is surrounded by so many beautiful, fulfilling, satisfying and healthy stimuli, every day. Proper integration allows us to reconnect to, and re-discover, the benefits of these stimuli, and improve our personal relationship with our environment. These techniques encourage the emergence of our innately joyful selves.
Coaching is a client-guided process, and our coaches meet the client wherever they are in their individual journey. Preparation helps clients prepare for their journey mentally, emotionally and physically so they can best navigate the experience itself, as well as the insights and potential challenges that may arise afterwards. By preparing ahead of time for potential obstacles to healing and growth that may arise, the opportunity for lasting change is much greater.
NeuroRelief™’s preparation session includes:
- Setting intentions and gaining a deeper understanding of the client’s “why” for undergoing treatment
- Helping the client get clarity on how they would like their life to look and feel after treatment
- Exploring some of the personal themes that may come up during the journey
- Learning how to navigate the ketamine treatment (tips and techniques to stay grounded and curious within treatment sessions)
Integration extends the insights gleaned in treatment into actionable change and, ultimately, embodied wisdom. Without integrating the experience, true change is more likely to be short-lived, as it is common to return to old habits, behaviors, and patterns of thinking.
NeuroRelief™’s integration sessions include:
- Space to process anything that arose in the journey with a trained psychedelic coach, which can help clients:
- Glean insights and connections into what is revealed during the treatments
- Better understand how what arises during the journey often holds meaningful keys into how we can shift our outlook, behaviors and patterns
- Additional emotional releasing and unburdening (using the Internal Family Systems model and Heart-Centered Communication)
- Support and accountability to create small but actionable lifestyle shifts in alignment with insights gleaned during and after sessions
- A birthing, or recovery, of each client’s ability to find a peaceful, empowered, grateful, connected, and sustainable relationship with the world around them
Our Coaches
Jon Otorhongo
I hold a master’s degree in psychology and have over 8 years of experience supporting personal transformation through trauma-informed, integrative practices. I provide integration support through mindfulness-based practices and somatic embodiment techniques, guiding clients to process, ground, and transform their experiences into actionable steps that help them release old patterns while cultivating a deeper sense of purpose and inner peace.
My approach weaves together modern psychology, indigenous healing traditions, and spiritual practices to create a comprehensive path to transformation. For over a decade, I’ve personally worked with plant medicines to heal from trauma and addiction — a journey that has given me a deeply embodied understanding of these medicines and the healing process. This journey, along with my experience working in intensive outpatient programs (IOP) for addiction and mental health, has given me a nuanced understanding of the complexities of healing and recovery. Along the way, I’ve had the privilege of learning from indigenous elders and contemporary pioneers, gaining valuable insights that now inform my work. This blend of personal experience, professional training, and spiritual exploration enables me to guide clients in reconnecting with themselves, cultivating inner harmony, and creating lasting, meaningful change.
Erin Doumert
I’m dedicated to helping individuals holistically heal from trauma through nervous system regulation. My journey into this transformative field has been shaped by years of learning from respected teachers in the plant medicine space and trauma experts, including Dr. Peter Levine. I believe that true healing goes beyond traditional talk therapy, as trauma is not something that can be solely thought through; it’s a response deeply rooted in your nervous system. What motivates me in my work is the impact I witness as clients regain a sense of safety within their bodies. This newfound safety allows them to experience their emotions fully and be present with themselves and those around them.
My expertise lies in helping people heal from trauma through the powerful modalities of Somatic Experiencing and Parts Work. This understanding comes from my training as a Psychedelic Integration Specialist, Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, 200-Hour Yoga Teacher (YTT), and having facilitated over 200 ketamine sessions, but it also stems from the healing I have found in my own journey. I am personally dedicated to my own healing and growth, walking alongside plant medicine and going deep into my own somatic experiencing work since 2008. This commitment to my healing path deeply informs and enriches my work with clients. My connection to this work stems from my own experiences with religious and early childhood developmental trauma. I understand the complexity of the healing process, and I offer a safe and supportive space for individuals to begin releasing old wounds.
Jenny Thompson
I’m Jenny Thompson, a life coach and Instructor with an unwavering passion for guiding individuals on journeys of self-discovery and personal growth. I am dedicated to helping uncover one’s true potential. Drawing on my own healing journey through use and studying plant medicines and psychedelics, I have gained profound insights into their transformative potential. My personalized preparation and integration services provide a safe, non-judgmental space for personal healing and growth. Growing up in Silicon Valley and overcoming challenges in my own life, including addiction and audacious behavior as a teenager, divorce, and experiencing the challenges of blended families, have shaped my understanding of personal growth and resilience. These experiences have taught me invaluable lessons that I now leverage to empower my clients. Additionally, my ventures in diverse industries such as tech, music and entertainment, real estate development, and other entrepreneurial paths, have honed my business acumen and equipped me with a unique perspective to guide others on their authentic paths.
Specializing in empowering clients to break free from limiting beliefs, achieve breakthroughs, and authentically set and accomplish their goals, I offer evidence-based coaching strategies, mindfulness practices, and cognitive-behavioral techniques. Together, we will work towards tangible results and lasting positive change. When I’m not coaching, you’ll find me meditating, practicing yoga, and connecting to the healing energy of nature’s redwoods and ocean. I also find deep fascination with the intersections of religion, spirituality, and philosophy, and I integrate all of this into my coaching practice to provide a holistic approach. As the mother of a Navy Veteran and the descendant of a Founding Father, I am dedicated to supporting those who have served our country, as well as our respected first responders. Your commitment and service deserve our utmost gratitude and care. Thank you for taking the time to read my Bio! I look forward to embarking on this transformative journey together.
Noel Seriale
My practice is rooted in creating a nonjudgmental space with a sense of curiosity and a holistic point of view. I am collaborative and human-focused, meaning that I am much more interested in being with you in your unique experience than pathologizing, diagnosing, labeling, or putting you in a box. I find digging to the root cause of “dis-ease” much more effective and sustainable than mere symptom management.
A guiding philosophy I hold comes from the ancient proverb: “If you give a man a fish, you feed him for a day. If you teach a man to fish, you feed him for a lifetime”. My goal is to equip you with the skills you need to understand and regulate your own nervous system in everyday life outside of the therapeutic environment. Rather than bring an agenda to put you into a box of one specific modality that doesn’t quite fit, I see meeting you where you are at as more helpful, using anything that comes up in the context of our time together as important material to work with. You are not a problem to be solved, but rather a human that could benefit from being seen and understood for all that you are. I also believe that healing doesn’t always have to be painful. Reclaiming a sense of joy and play is an important (or essential, really) part of the process!
Above any training I have, walking my talk by being an active participant in my own personal healing journey is what allows me to have a grounded practice. I may not have the same life experience as you, but my perspective and training allow me to give you valuable tools to be an active agent in your own process. I have a lot of experience in supporting groups and individuals in their own unique healing processes, especially in the context of psychedelic medicine.
In my psychedelic preparation and integration coaching work, I include methods such as:
Internal healing intelligence – Our bodies and brains have the innate ability to heal themselves when given the proper supportive environment to do so. I believe that you are your own best healer and my job is to empower you to remove blockages so you can uncover your own inner wisdom.
Somatic Experiencing (SE) – A way to build more resilience by processing trauma stored in the body rather than talking about the details of the past in an intellectual way. As we learn to regulate the nervous system, we are able to not only think differently, but feel differently in our bones.
Dialectical thinking – Living within the confines of black and white thinking is very limiting. When we allow space for two seemingly paradoxical realities to simultaneously exist, we can better understand ourselves and the world with more mental flexibility.
Compassionate inquiry – A nonjudgmental space for you to develop a deeper understanding of yourself in a safe and compassionate environment. Rather than giving advice or interpreting your experience from my own perspective, I empathically listen to your experience and ask thoughtful questions that allow you to connect the dots yourself.
IFS/parts – A therapeutic approach that acknowledges the complexity of our inner world not as static, fixed traits but as “parts” of ourselves that take on certain roles (i.e. self critic, people pleaser, perfectionism, addictions, etc.). The deeper we connect with our true “Self”, we are able to remedy the root cause of our symptoms and choose the way we show up in the world rather than merely reacting to triggers.
Psychodynamic approach with an attuned relational context – I believe the most powerful healing agent can be another human who can lovingly witness you in your raw, authentic expression. A felt sense of proper attunement can allow us to remedy relational traumas and attachment wounding.
