I had one of the best experiences ever. The staff really helped a lot in my PTSD healing journey, it's a warmth and love that I didn't expect to receive, everyone is so attentive and caring. The meals are the best part aside from the ibogaine, I recommend Bernie's smoothies. Those 10 days truly made me perceive things in a different light and the buffo is life changing. Special thanks to Frankie and Dr. JJ for the rides in downtown, the sunset really is more beautiful in Cozumel! Im forever thankful to Mindscape and Jarrad

I did the treatment recently since I was having a very rough time emotionally and also decided it would be a great opportunity to sympathize with patients and understand their experiences, fully trusting our medical team and their expertise. It was a very rough start, felt like I had a hundred of emotions unraveling each second, but it was truly worth it, the DMT made me reconnect with a side of me that I thought it was lost long time ago and I mean the whole treatment just made me feel like I am myself again and I am still rediscovering sides of me that I am happy they're back. Thanks to everyone in the staff that made me feel safe and did not made me feel ashamed of myself during this process, I am so proud of our team and I can promise we can give everyone a safe space to become the best version of themselves.

I came here struggling with addiction and feeling stuck in a cycle I couldn’t break on my own. I stayed at the facility for 15 days, and that time completely changed the direction of my life. The ibogaine treatment was intense, but it helped me step away from the cravings and really look at my patterns with clarity. Just as important as the treatment itself was the time I spent afterward in a safe, structured environment. Those days allowed my body and mind to stabilize, reflect, and begin healing. The staff was supportive and respectful throughout the process, and I never felt rushed or treated like a number. The space gave me the opportunity to disconnect from my old habits and reconnect with myself. I left feeling clear, grounded, and most importantly, free from the need to keep using. The 15 days I spent there helped me reset and move forward with my life in a healthier way. I’m deeply grateful for the experience and the support I received.

I sent spend 35 years abusing myself with drugs and with a 10 day stay at mindscape it end like i never use drugss in my life . As I travel l home to see my family, I have a new out look on life. To the manager Frankie, who was there for my every need . To the wonderful nurses that took care of me . To the doctor that guided me with advice and experience. There isn't really words that I can say that would show how thankful I am. My only wish is that everyone that is struggling in life to find themselves could experience it.

As a 43-year-old woman, I spent years carrying the emotional weight of past abuse, believing I would never truly heal. This experience gave me a safe space to confront that trauma with compassion and guidance. I didn’t leave as a different person—I left feeling stronger and equipped with the tools I need to face the world with confidence and hope. I am especially grateful to Dr. Jenna Turner for her outstanding psychological support. Her kindness, professionalism, and ability to help me process difficult emotions made an incredible difference. I also want to thank Professor Gabriel for the therapeutic writing sessions, which allowed me to express feelings I had buried for years. The combination of medical care, psychotherapy, and writing therapy created an experience unlike anything I had ever encountered. If you’re fortunate enough to find a program like this, fully commit to the process, you may discover a strength within yourself that you never knew existed.
