Somatic & Ketamine-Assisted Therapy for Women Who Long to Move Through Shame and Into Full Creative & Erotic Expression

You’re here because you’re in some kind of trap that either seriously limits or totally suffocates your big, creative, feral spirit. The trap might be a codependent relationship, it might be the wrong job, or just deep psychological hang ups around publicly owning what you feel your true calling or desires to be . . . Sometimes it’s a small internal gnawing, and sometimes it hurts like hell. It takes incredible bandwidth to endure painful situations or relationships. Bandwidth that could go towards writing a book, or starting a business or a movement.

The people I work with are ready for working with me and my fiery, intuitive, multi-disciplinary approach. At the very least, they are in the stage of change where they are aware that some aspect of their current life is a problem (whether a relationship, a job, or just limited self-expression), and they’re willing to figure out how to shift it at the root, but with compassionate support and containment. 

Since this kind of life situation (i.e., eminent or possible changes in relational or job status) may involve fluctuations in finances, I have a flexible, sliding scale fee structure to support you through any financial changes if/when they occur as you move towards a bigger, more authentic, soulful and joyful life. I also offer highly affordable ketamine-assisted psychotherapy groups if it becomes more feasible for you to transition down to an even lower fee at some stage of your life transition.

"You can't get any more pure than when you have a body on this earth and when you are creating or in prayer or making love."
- Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estes -

The work I do is for mystics– For women and humans ready to possibly descend before they rise. I'm a multi-trained ketamine-assisted psychotherapist with over a decade of experience in the mental health field. Along the way, I've become EMDR-trained, holistic nutrition certified, shamanic energy medicine lineage-initiated and I've studied in-person under Jungian analyst Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estes and Shipibo medicine people in ayahuasca ceremonies. I've also taken numerous deep dives into somatic healing, including but not limited to become trained (currently) as a Body Temple Dance teacher and Somatic Experiencing Practitioner. As an artist, bestselling author/poet and Love Witch, I completely understand what it's like to be a radical woman trying to come into full expression in this world. My approach is humble, humorous, and deeply heartfelt. Our sessions may feel like a magical teatime, a deep somatic meditation set to music, a gentle art or writing session or a ceremony.

I am LGBTQIA+ affirming and I work with women (and anyone of any gender interested in the feminine path of descent into the underworld) one-on-one, and I also provide low-cost, intimate ketamine-assisted psychotherapy groups, as well as ketamine-assisted counseling for couples. Sometimes we need to gift ourselves a profound and sacred experience in order to birth the transformation that is paining to come through us. You are so worth it. Reach out for a complimentary 20-minute heart-to-heart to see if this is for you 🌹

I believe that magic is art and that art, whether it be writing, music, sculpture, or any other form is literally magic. Art is, like magic, the science of manipulating symbols, words, or images, to achieve changes in consciousness."
- Alan Moore -

As a holistic, somatically-oriented ketamine psychotherapist, I combine an awareness of the importance of lifestyle medicine and a sacred, deep relationship to the body with cutting-edge trauma-healing therapy (like EMDR) to assist you in coming fully alive and fully expressed in all your glorious creative and erotic potency. I have gone out of my way to receive respectful, multi-layered, experiential training in some of the indigenous medicine systems of South America (involving the plant medicine systems of the Shipibo people and the shamanic energy medicine systems of the Qero people), and I consider this to be an integral foundation to the way I provide psychedelic therapy. 

Ongoing consultation with, and reciprocity to, indigenous communities, and to the cultural and ecological systems from which psychedelic medicines emerge, has been woven into the model of this practice.

It is my absolute joy to watch women and feminine beings soften open, come alive, and access the full range of their creative, erotic, sacred power, living wild, unique, authentic lives. I believe this is medicine for the whole planet. I am proudly LGBTQIA+ affirming. My asexual friends are not precluded from finding sacred, erotic opening as Eros is not necessarily always sexual. I powerfully weave hypnosis, lifestyle medicine, dreamwork, EMDR and Shamanic Energy Medicine in ways that facilitate powerful transformation for people who are really motivated and ready for change.

Meet Annalise Oatman

I'm a Woodstock-based ketamine-assisted psychotherapist serving all of California, but you might also call me an inner child whisperer, fairy godmother, Alan Moore-dork, ultra-Pisces, and Dionysian artist. I help artists and creatives who want more than anything to show up fully in life, in love or in their life’s work, but get hung up because of some seemingly impenetrable thicket of self-doubt, apathy, anxiety, depression, or maybe even trauma or terror.
