Naomi Prakash
Certified Transformational Recovery and Integration Coach
📞 (301) 381-8381
Naomi, a certified Transformational Recovery and Integration Coach, specializes in supporting individuals through their ketamine therapy journey. With an M.S. in Child and Family Studies and a minor in Psychology, she brings a solid academic foundation to her coaching practice. Having embarked on her own medicine journey seven years ago, Naomi intimately understands the transformative power of these experiences.
Many of our patients opt for a 1-hour virtual preparation session with Naomi to prepare for their induction. After a free initial consultation to ensure a good fit, you can schedule the virtual session where she’ll help you set intentions and mentally prepare.
Naomi also hosts free bi-weekly virtual and in-person integration circles with Avesta patients undergoing induction or maintenance.
