After training Dr. Coleman moved to Los Angeles where she became interested in holistic and non-traditional methods of health and healing. Through this exploration she became a reiki master, a certified health coach, studied integrative medicine techniques, and was trained in Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy with Dr. Phil Wolfson. Dr. Coleman has a strong belief that the integration of western and eastern/ holistic medicine is the best approach for healing.
Dr. Coleman has a natural curiosity and love for continuous learning. She has become passionate about health and overall well-being that begins with the individual acknowledging and tapping into their own inner healer. Empowering people to recognize they have the tools to heal themselves, is essential to shifting people’s beliefs around health. Focusing on mental health and personal development are key to overall wellness and are heavily intertwined with physical health. Through her continued training, learning, and researching she has become an advocate for psychedelic medicine in conjunction with the appropriate support system. Dr. Coleman works together with psychotherapists to provide a safe, healing, and transformative experience using ketamine as a catalyst.
Outside of medicine and health, Dr. Coleman loves reading, traveling, meaning experiences with friends and family, cooking, and taking care of her French bulldog puppy!
