Methadone & Suboxone

6 years on Suboxone. It was the right call at the time, it got me off a pill addiction that started with a prescription and stabilized my life. But I reached a point where I wanted to be completely free of maintenance me...

5-MeO-DMT Therapy

I run a small business and I've been managing high-functioning depression for 8 years. Showed up, did the work, kept commitments. Inside running on empty. ECT wasn't something I wanted and I wasn't eligible for most tria...

I was diagnosed with early-onset Parkinson's at 47. I'm 52 now and I refuse to accept the standard trajectory without exploring everything available. MindScape's low-dose protocol for Parkinson's patients is grounded in...

Anxiety as a constant companion since childhood. Done years of CBT, tried four medications, daily mindfulness practice, all of it. Functional but exhausted. A friend mentioned MindScape and I researched ibogaine for anxi...

5-MeO-DMT Therapy
The 5-MeO experience is unlike anything else

Came for the combined ibogaine and 5-MeO-DMT protocol, primarily for burnout and anxiety that had become debilitating. Dr. Martinez spent real time on my history before designing the session. The ibogaine came first, abo...

Methadone & Suboxone
