Safety and well-being
Insured care (policy-dependent)
Nature, tranquility and privacy
For the first time in my life, I can say that I experience calm and a sense of safety in my body, even when I am alone. Before, I only lived in my head, but now I live in the world."

The ketamine journeys have provided me with a wealth of wisdom and insights. Thanks to the ketamine, I was able to connect with deeply buried pain, but also with my true desires and abilities. Moreover, the ketamine has helped expand my ‘container,’ allowing me to dare to feel and connect—with my true self and with the world around me.
Together with my psychologist from Magnolia, Wiesje, I worked hard on the themes that emerged from my journeys. I have been able to create safety, both at home and in my relationships. For the first time in my life, I can say that I experience calm and a sense of safety in my body, even when I am alone. Additionally, I feel strength. I am better able to sense and protect my boundaries, which finally allows me to maintain a connection with myself. Slowly but surely, I am emerging from my ‘freeze’ mode; frozen energies (emotions) can now, little by little, leave my body. I can connect with my deepest desires and act from that place; step by step, I am letting go of pieces of my long-standing eating disorder, and the dysthymic disorder is making way for life energy, spontaneity, freedom, and self-compassion.
My heartfelt gratitude goes out to the Magnolia team and Menno Oosterhoff for the warm, loving, and skilled guidance throughout my journey. Movement has been sparked on so many levels—emotionally, physically, spiritually, relationally, and in my conscious “being.” The ketamine journeys turned out to be the missing link in my process toward further healing. Magnolia came into my life at exactly the right moment. Thank you for everything!

The program at Magnolia brought about a personal transformation after 25 years of therapy-resistant gloom and depression. I have been able to emotionally distance myself from old pain. There is now lightness alongside accepted darkness. Deep gratitude for Magnolia’s professional and warm support."

This year, after an extensive screening, I followed a ketamine program at Magnolia. For more than 25 years, I suffered from chronic melancholy with occasional gloominess, and thus, for more than 25 years, I underwent various therapies.
It’s so incredibly remarkable that, despite therapy resistance, there is a substance that opens new pathways in a stuck brain. Through ketamine therapy, I have genuinely been able to feel changes. My “self” has been expanded through the subconscious with the help of ketamine. This has created new and different paths for me. In my daily life, I have truly been able to distance myself from old, repetitive pain—importantly, not rationally but emotionally. A lightness has emerged alongside an accepted darkness.
Being open to the medicine and the journey was a prerequisite for me. In the safe environment that Magnolia has so expertly created. This isn’t necessarily easy to put into words. But when I compare how I am now to six months ago, a positive transformation has taken place within me and, consequently, around me as well.
I told the Magnolia team that I experience it as a spa for my brain. But that perhaps doesn’t fully capture the deeper effects on the level of neurotransmitters, etc. Gratitude to the Magnolia team. The combination of professionalism and warmth is more than extraordinary. I feel supported by them.
Weekly Treatment Sessions and Guidance
Each week, you will attend two carefully structured sessions focused on deep recovery and personal growth:
- Intensive Therapeutic Session
This session focuses on cognitive restructuring, behavioral activation, and experiential interventions, helping you break negative thought patterns and encourage active change.
- Therapeutic Follow-Up
This session emphasizes value-based actions, acceptance, and interpersonal effectiveness, enabling you to integrate your values into daily life and strengthen relationships.
Throughout the program, you will also have biweekly consultations with a psychiatrist, and regular multidisciplinary team meetings will be held to discuss strategies and progress, ensuring that your treatment is tailored to your individual needs.
