Suz is developing the field of Ketamine-Assisted Massage Therapy and bodywork (KATM) in partnership with KAT and KAP providers as well as developing psychedelic/entheogenic preparation and integration bodywork methods. She’s enrolled in the foundations training program at Beckley Academy and completed core facilitator training at Sacred Garden in 2024. She recently published the first board approved continuing education course for massage therapists and bodyworkers on the topic of psychedelics and entheogens.

How Unwind Oakland works with Clients

When working with Ketamine Assisted Therapeutic Massage, we will coordinate with your prescriber and care team.

I also offer integration massage when you are working with other substances.

Treatment Approach

My strengths are combining the technical and spiritual into a cohesive, resonant whole.
