Trained, non-clinical support guides who walk alongside individuals navigating ketamine treatments and other healing experiences
A Heal Forward Companion™ is a trained, non-clinical support guide who walks alongside individuals navigating ketamine treatments and other healing experiences, and helps them transition into intentional personal development once healing is underway.
Companions do not provide therapy, medical advice, or coaching. They provide presence, preparation, navigation, and integration support—helping individuals feel safe, informed, and supported throughout their healing journey.
Ketamine therapy and trauma-informed treatments are growing rapidly across the U.S. Yet many individuals navigate these experiences alone, without structured emotional, logistical, or integration support.
This gap leads to missed appointments, treatment dropout, emotional overwhelm, incomplete healing, and isolation during recovery. Heal Forward Companions™ fill this gap by providing consistent, ethical, human support.
