Mana was created in 2017 with the kaupapa of 'heal the healer' and has been the home of psychedelic research, training and care in Aotearoa New Zealand for the past 7 years.
Currently Mana serves as a clinical trial site for MDMA-assisted care of depression and anxiety in participants with stage 4 cancer, alongside our core business of Body-Breath-Mind teaching and psychedelic-assisted care.
Mana also hosts regular workshops and clinics in psychedelic care and Rongoā Māori.
We provide comprehensive Psychedelic Care assessment, treatment and training as well as IV Ketamine infusions and Cannabis-assisted Care. We are also committed to research through our collaborations with MAPS/Lykos Pharmaceuticals, The University of Auckland and The University of Otago, where we are exploring the healing potential of MDMA, LSD and Psilocybin. Our mission is to translate our research and expertise into safe, holistic practices that can benefit individuals suffering in New Zealand, Australia, the South Pacific and beyond.
