On the frontiers of a new way of healing.
Partnering with licensed clinicians, Embodied Psychedelic Collective provides at-home ketamine treatments, along with personalized integration coaching, which includes embodiment practices, working with Ceremonial Cacao, and other modalities.
Based on our own experience, there is a lot of suffering in this world. Many people have trauma, addictions, anxiety, and depression and it’s impacting their lives and the people around them.
People are stuck in survival mode, their nervous systems are completely dysregulated, and have spent decades on medications and in therapies that are just not working — yet there is hope. We’ve personally been witness to hundreds of transformative stories through working with psychedelic medicines and embodiment work.

What is Ketamine?
Ketamine has a long-standing history as a dissociative anesthetic, and is gaining traction as a promising treatment option when addressing mental health conditions including treatment-resistant anxiety and depression, as well as PTSD, OCD, and substance use disorder. It is currently the only clinician-prescribed psychedelic medicine available for use in therapeutic methods, and is available to the general public in most countries in the world. It has proven itself to be a safe and effective choice in treatment.
Ketamine-Assisted Therapy
Ketamine-assisted therapy combines medical administration of ketamine with the support and guidance of an integration coach or therapist in the comfort of your own home. When used in controlled doses, ketamine is a medicine that can cause altered states of consciousness. Recent research has shown that, when combined with the support of a coach or therapist, these psychedelic experiences can enable some individuals to overcome a broad range of mental health challenges, ranging from depression, anxiety, addiction, and trauma.
The aim of ketamine-assisted therapy is to harness the openness of the altered state created by the use of ketamine by combining it with structured coaching to engage with and process strong emotions that may otherwise be painful or simply difficult to access. Working on this emotional awareness with your coach may then make it possible to take a closer look at core experiences, see important relationships in a new light, and create a clear and meaningful narrative that supports changes in behaviors and thought patterns.
Ketamine is Safe and Effective
In a groundbreaking study, at-home ketamine therapy produced stronger outcomes than those shown in other studies of antidepressants and psychotherapy.
Participants’ symptoms were measured before and after treatment, and after 4 sessions:
89% reported an improvement in symptoms
63% reported a 50% or greater reduction in symptoms
33% achieved remission (or virtually no symptoms)
34% higher than those of SSRI antidepressants
54% higher than those of psychotherapy
17% higher than those seen in IV ketamine —despite the less invasive and lower-cost at-home treatments
The study reported these outcomes after 4 weeks, while SSRI and psychotherapy studies required 2+ months to achieve reported results
Study indicates safety of at-home treatment
The study showed that at-home ketamine therapy was not only effective but safe, with minimal side effects or adverse events reported by participants.
Only 4 patients (0.3%) dropped out of treatment due to adverse events or intolerable side effects.
Fewer than 1% of the study’s participants’ experienced worsening of symptoms over the course of the study.
Fewer than 5% of participants reported any side effects.
With our more personalized approach and the addition of embodiment and ceremonial cacao the potential is limitless.

Embodiment through Focalizing
Focalizing, is a somatic healing technology that enables participants to completely reinvent their lives by resolving the barriers that prevent them from experiencing their fullest potential of well-being and joy.
These barriers can be in the form of conditioned thinking, traumatic experiences, stress, depression, sexual and intimacy barriers, and more. Once these blocks have been brought to resolution, Focalizing takes on the form of a creative tool that supports participants to access levels of awareness that allow them to act and make decisions that are deeply informed by their body and whole being.
Masha and Tiger are certified as Focalizing practitioners through the Focalizing Institute and Masha co-teaches the Focalizing Practitioner Course.

Our Story
Masha and Tiger met in early 2022 at a plant medicine ceremony. We quickly discovered that we are on a similar mission of healing and transformation, for ourselves and others. We both came from a corporate background — Masha was a graphic designer for 20 years in NYC and Tiger worked with adults with autism for 30 years.
We both had always felt like we had a bigger purpose in the world. And individually, got to a point in our lives, where we were pulled in new directions.
We both left our full-time careers and went to coaching schools — Masha completed the program with the Institute for Integrative Nutrition and Tiger completed the Functional Medicine Coaching Academy and acquired his National Board Certification in Health & Wellness coaching.
Tiger: Not long after we met, I began working at a large organization as a psychedelic guide for at-home ketamine treatment and worked with hundreds of clients. As someone who is 22 years sober and on a long self-healing journey, I could really relate with my clients and it was an honor to witness the miracles of psychedelic medicine. The clientele I saw were anywhere from veterans with PTSD who have tried everything else, to those still struggling with treatment-resistant addiction, anxiety, and depression.
I discovered working for a large organization there were limitations to the treatment that I was able to provide. Many more modalities are available to help clients in addition to ketamine, which unfortunately I wasn’t allowed to offer.
Along with Coaching, Masha is also an Embodiment Practitioner and Ceremonial Cacao Facilitator and introduced me to both of these practices. As I implemented these practices into my own healing journey, I quickly discovered how all of this could work together.
I referred a few clients to her and we saw incredible results with the addition of embodiment to the ketamine treatments. I also began teaching people how to work with Ceremonial Cacao as an integration tool between their sessions. Here’s an interview I did where I speak more about Cacao & Ketamine.
Everything we share with our clients is based on our own healing journeys and the modalities that have helped us heal, including psychedelics and plant medicine.
Masha: I’ve seen embodiment work, on its own, create miracles in people’s lives, including my own. Integrating embodiment work with psychedelics and plant medicine, like cacao and ketamine, enhances and deepens the healing experience. I was amazed at how much embodiment and ketamine working together created life-changing results. Embodiment and Ceremonial Cacao help move people from their heads to their hearts and bodies, which is where you want to be when working with psychedelics.
Testimonials
“I met Jeff Tiger a year ago when he became my Ketamine therapy session guide. His wisdom and compassion guided me through the experience and gave me the confidence I needed to complete this new kind of therapy.
Jeff also referred me to Focalizing Healer and Life Coach Masha Zolotarsky. Masha is an intuitive Healer, who also guided me through multiple early life traumas to finally integrate the memories of my past and relieve me of my chronic anxiety and depression. Much of my healing came from integrating my broken parts into a whole person, able to manage my day-to-day life with a sense of peace and joy.
Jeff and Masha are truly gifted healers with skill and compassion for anyone suffering from the trauma of life and living. Ketamine Therapy and Somatic Focalizing are life-changing resources, helping me to realize my best possible self.”

A more detailed testimonial about Focalizing (Somatic Healing):
“I wish I had the words to describe how powerful and healing my Focalizing sessions were with Masha. I had never heard about focalizing until Masha recommended I give it a try and I am so glad that I did.
We conducted our focalizing session via Zoom. Masha started the session by talking with me and asking what my intention for healing was. I talked to her about some of the things I'd been going through and together we came up with an intention that was crystal clear to focus our session. She then guided me through a journey of focusing my awareness into my body and the sensations and feelings that were arising in the moment. We started with a grounding meditation, and once I was relaxed, she had me describe some of the sensations I was noticing. She guided me through different techniques of responding and relating to these different messages I was receiving from my body. For example, a tight spot in my neck which always seemed to be a trouble spot became a message from my body that I need to let go, which couldn't have been more perfect advice for what I was going through at the time. I had never felt such a profound connection between what I was feeling physically with what I was experiencing emotionally. It was a message from my body that my mind wasn't willing to accept.
Focalizing is such a personal and individualized experience that it is difficult to articulate how meaningful and powerful these sessions were for me. I appreciated how intuitive Masha was as she guided me through this process. I felt completely held and safe to trust her guidance. I highly recommend booking a session and giving this a try. I truly felt as if I received years of therapy, with the most intuitive guidance in a matter of three sessions. If you're at all curious, give it a try! You are in good hands.” — Krista, Brooklyn
