Blossom’s read

Living Medicine Institute sits in the practitioner-training end of the psychedelic field, with a strong focus on ketamine-assisted psychotherapy, clinical supervision, and community support for licensed professionals. It is best for clinicians who want hands-on, ethics-led training rather than a purely academic overview, and it leans into experiential learning, intimate cohorts, and ongoing mentorship. Its lineage is anchored by Dr Signi Goldman and Dr Sandra Newes, with Newes bringing long clinical and training experience and Goldman bringing psychiatric leadership.

Who is Living Medicine Institute for?

Best suited to licensed clinicians, prescribers, therapists, and practice teams who want to build or refine ketamine-assisted psychotherapy skills in a clinical, legally grounded setting. It also suits practitioners who value experiential work, case consultation, and an ongoing professional community.

What do you need before you start?

The provider frames its work for clinical professionals and offers supervision for ketamine-assisted psychotherapists. It does not publish a single universal entry standard for all offerings, but its public-facing language consistently targets clinicians and other healthcare professionals rather than the general public.

Is Living Medicine Institute accredited?

Living Medicine Institute does not prominently publish formal institutional accreditation. Its public materials emphasise training, certification, supervision, and professional development, but do not clearly state CE, CME, or other external credit arrangements on the main pages reviewed.

How much does it cost?

The institute does not publish a single programme price for its trainings on the main pages reviewed. It does publish supervision at $200 per hour with Dr Sandy Newes, and describes some community access as free.

What do you walk away with?

Learners are positioned to gain practical ketamine-assisted psychotherapy skills, ethical and scope-of-practice guidance, case consultation experience, and access to a professional network. Offerings also include supervision, mentoring, and a certification pathway mentioned in the institute’s about page.
