The Experience
What a session actually involves
A guided, medically supervised experience — nothing self-directed, nothing left to chance.
Before
A real screening conversation
You'll talk with a clinician before anything is scheduled — your history, what you're hoping for, and whether this approach is actually a good fit. Intention-setting happens here too: what you want to work on, and what a good outcome would look like for you.
During
Supervised, start to finish
Vitals are monitored throughout by clinical staff. The setting is calm and deliberate — music, low light, a trained guide present the entire time. Sessions run individually, as couples, or in small groups, depending on what you and your care team decide fits best.
After
Support that doesn't end when the session does
Integration coaching helps translate what came up during a session into real, grounded change in daily life. A powerful experience without support afterward tends to fade; that follow-through is treated as part of the care, not an add-on.
Medical supervision, plainly
- Every session runs under the clinical authority of Utah-licensed physicians and advanced practice clinicians.
- Vitals are monitored throughout, not just checked beforehand.
- Dosing and format (individual, couples, or small group) are decided with your care team, not chosen by you alone.
- Sessions currently run inside a physician-led partner practice in Salt Lake City — see The Model for exactly how that partnership works.
Who this isn't for
Screening exists to keep this safe, not to be a formality. Being told this isn't the right fit for you right now is a legitimate outcome of that screening — not a rejection. General categories that typically rule someone out, pending your clinician's own assessment:
- Certain severe psychiatric conditions, including active psychosis
- Uncontrolled high blood pressure or certain cardiovascular conditions
- Pregnancy
- Certain medication interactions

Questions people actually ask
Is this legal?+
Yes. Ketamine is an FDA-approved anesthetic. Its use for mental health is lawful, off-label, and administered only under the supervision of Utah-licensed physicians and advanced practice clinicians.
Will I be alone during a session?+
No. A trained guide and clinical staff are present throughout, and vitals are monitored the entire time.
How is this different from recreational ketamine use?+
Medical screening, controlled and supervised dosing, a deliberately prepared setting, and structured integration support afterward — this is not self-directed, and it isn't treated casually.
Can I bring a partner or loved one?+
Yes — couples sessions are part of how this is offered, alongside individual and small-group formats.
What does a session cost?+
Giornii is still early, and pricing isn't published yet. Cost is discussed directly as part of your initial conversation.
Do I need a referral first?+
No separate referral is required — it starts with a conversation. Reach out and we'll walk you through what's next.
What if I've never done anything like this before?+
Most people haven't. That's exactly what the preparation stage and your guide are there for — nothing about this assumes prior experience.
Is this the same as a psychedelic retreat?+
Not yet. Today, this is clinic-based individual, couples, and group sessions. Dedicated retreat settings are part of the longer-term vision, not something available right now — see The Model for how that's sequenced.
