Ven Bergdall, (he/they), Ketamine Wellness Coach + Guide

I offer my services with the intention of supporting you in identifying your personal goals and taking steps to attain them, improving the quality of your relationships with yourself and others, and developing your capacity for creativity and self-expression. I strive to meet people with curiosity, compassion and non-judgment. I often receive the feedback that my presence has a calming effect, and I want you to feel safe to grow, heal, and be your full self.

I feel especially drawn to working with clients who are:

-parents or caregivers

-LGBTQIA+

-in recovery from a mental health crisis or spiritual emergency

-in the process of deconstructing religious indoctrination

The practice of somatic coaching involves attuning to the client’s whole body-mind system, with special emphasis on the body and its capacity for sensation and feeling. Through body scans, movement, dialogue, and other somatic practices, we discover and work with the information that comes up in order to move toward your goals. Our work together may also involve the use of vocal sound to explore and express your inner experience.

I have completed several trainings in psychedelic facilitation, to help clients prepare for their session, feel safe and supported while under the effects of a substance, and integrate any insights that emerge from their experience.

In addition to my healing arts training, I bring more than two decades of experience as a music educator and have helped hundreds of students realize their potential through patient, attuned listening and personalized guidance. I perform regularly as a jazz pianist and love the adventure of spontaneously co-creating beautiful music. In my free time, I enjoy nature hikes and playing pretend with my daughter.
