WholeMind Healing Pathways

When Jason first heard about WholeMind Healing Pathways, he was in the middle of a massive life shift. After years of putting others first—feeling responsible for saving his parents and staying rooted in old patterns—he finally gave himself permission to choose life. "I came to this bifurcation point," he shared, "where I realized it was time to save my life and try something new."

 

Having recently moved to Prescott, a place he'd dreamed of living since 2001, Jason was ready for change. A close friend introduced him to the idea of ketamine treatment, and it came at just the right time. He had already walked a long path of healing—working with several therapists over the years and turning to nature, yoga, meditation, music, and even plant medicines like cannabis and psilocybin to stay afloat. "Cannabis saved my life," he said. "It taught me how to love myself and enjoy life." But something was still missing. Something deeper needed to shift.

 

That shift happened at WholeMind.

 

With the support of a scholarship, Jason was able to access ketamine therapy—and the experience was life-changing. "It felt like years of intense meditation, therapy, and a retreat all at once," he reflected. A lifelong habit of picking his fingernails—a nervous coping mechanism from early childhood—suddenly stopped. "It was like I cleared out this self-hatred and angst that had been there for a long time. There was sadness inside that I was always trying to cover up or wind my way through, and it was just gone." Jason further shared, "I loved the actual ketamine experience itself. It was beautiful."

 

Just as transformative as the medicine itself was the support he received during integration. Jason shared, “Paul is incredible—he has this awesome heart, and his mind and skills with integration and coaching are absolutely brilliant. Just being in his presence after the experience helped ground everything I was feeling. He helped me make sense of it all in a way that stayed with me.”

 

The changes went far beyond the physical. "I used to say out loud all the time, 'I just don't want to be alive anymore.' That's gone. I went to a whole new level of being where that wasn't in my consciousness anymore. Now I know when things are hard—I'm going to transcend this and move on."

 

The effects of ketamine therapy rippled into every area of Jason's life. He ended his relationship with cannabis in a natural and easeful way. And perhaps most life-changing of all, he met the love of his life. “I truly found my person—my twin flame, if you will. We came into each other’s lives at exactly the right moment, and my heart is full in a way I never imagined possible.”

He also stopped grieving the long-past death of his mother and began reconnecting with his daughter. He joined a local band and started performing again. And he's now teaching others in the community about something he's deeply passionate about: Bitcoin and financial empowerment.

 

Jason's story is a vivid reminder of the life-changing power of ketamine-assisted therapy when combined with integration, care, and support. It's also a powerful testament to the importance of financial access. "I couldn't have done this without the scholarship," he said. "This work is the future of mental health. You've built something extraordinary."

 

When asked what he would share with others considering ketamine treatment, Jason responds, "Absolutely go for it. Ketamine is safe, manageable, and so beneficial. I don't think there's any reason people should hesitate. It's knocking out 2-4 years of intense therapy and/or meditation in a few weeks. It's life-changing. It's so worth it."

 

Today, Jason is living a full, joyful, and inspired life—playing pickleball, practicing music, teaching, performing, and sharing each day with his beloved. "I'm keeping it simple. I'm a lucky cat."
