WholeMind Healing Pathways

Bella, a local artist and medical professional in Prescott, was in her 30s when life seemed to overwhelm her. As a single mom, she was no stranger to juggling responsibilities, but she found herself trapped in a heavy fog of depression. Emotions became unmanageable, and she lacked the tools to handle the weight of it all. Feeling like she was "lacking in all areas," Bella turned to alcohol to numb the pain. Deep down, she knew this wasn’t the answer.

 

“I was in a depressive state, overwhelmed with emotions, not really equipped with how to deal with it all,” she recalls. Despite trying counseling for a while, Bella didn’t find the relief she sought. Her hope rested on something deeper—a desire to dive into the root causes of her pain and heal from the trauma that had been buried for too long. When she learned about ketamine therapy, she felt it could be the lifeline she needed.

 

However, like many single parents, Bella struggled with the financial burden. The cost of a full package of six sessions felt out of reach. That’s when she discovered the WholeMind Foundation, a nonprofit committed to helping people access life-changing mental health care. Bella applied for a grant and became one of the foundation’s first recipients. This opportunity marked the beginning of a transformative journey.

 

Bella described her initial hopes for ketamine treatment: "I just wished I had known about it sooner." What followed exceeded her expectations. The experience, she says, was profound and multi-layered. "I can't say just one thing," Bella explains. "There are so many levels. It allows each person to experience their own path and explore their own circumstances."

 

With each session at WholeMind Healing Pathways, Bella felt herself unfolding in ways she hadn’t imagined. The safe and supportive environment gave her the space to confront deep-seated issues while the medicine helped her brain begin to heal. Complementary tools like journaling and meditation enhanced her progress. "The Twin Hearts meditation was my favorite," she shares. "It pulled everything together." Journaling became another cornerstone of her healing process, allowing her to track her growth and express her journey in words.

 

The results were undeniable. "Ketamine allowed me to find grounding and a place of peace with myself," Bella says. “I was able to deal with issues I hadn’t dealt with before. The inner peace I felt after was huge.” Bella has now been sober from alcohol for six months—a milestone she holds close to her heart.

 

Beyond sobriety, Bella discovered a new way of living. “My brain has rewired,” she explains. “I can take a step back and unravel things. I don’t just see a problem anymore. I can see what’s happening inside to cause a reaction, and I know how to take a different approach or deal with the situation.” This mental shift allowed Bella to feel better equipped for life’s challenges.

​

Today, Bella is excited about life and the possibilities it holds. “I’m looking for new avenues of growth and how to be a better human,” she shares with a sense of hope and purpose. Her message to others considering ketamine treatment is heartfelt and powerful: “I highly recommend it—especially for people who feel like there’s no way out or feel lost and alone.”

​

Bella’s story is one of resilience and transformation. With the support of ketamine therapy and the WholeMind Foundation, she found her way back to herself, reclaiming her joy, peace, and excitement for the future. Her journey reminds us all that healing is possible, even in the face of overwhelming darkness.
