Dr. Meredith Aistrup, ND
Holistic Wellness and Ketamine Therapy
"Peace within, Peace Throughout"
Hi, I'm Meredith
I am a Naturopathic Doctor who is especially passionate about psychedelic therapy and holistic mental health. My personal mental health journey, dealing with chronic anxiety and burn out, led me to a discover an array of healing modalities that radically changed my life. These include psychedelics & plant medicines, breath work, sound healing, internal family systems, somatic therapy, self-compassion practices, nature therapy, and yoga.
My role as Program Director at The Within Center, a holistic mental health and psychedelic retreat center in Austin Texas, allowed me to explore the root causes of mental health as I worked daily with individuals with PTSD, depression, anxiety, ADHD, OCD, eating disorders, and burnout. Unraveling this question of the root cause of mental health ended up being so multi-faceted, personalized, and collective. From childhood trauma, social pressures, isolation, lack of purpose, existential anxiety, poor nutrition, lack of movement, poor sleep, lack of connection to the sacred, hormonal dysregulation, disconnection from the body… etc! The western perspective that mental health is caused by a ‘chemical imbalance’ in the brain now seemed ridiculously simplified and lacking a shared humanity. After the Within Center, I led a team as CEO of Sadaya Sanctuary, a retreat center in Scottsdale Arizona, for fund fundraising and programming.
From these personal and professional experiences I have pursued additional training in psychedelics, mental health treatment, and ceremony. I have completed over 250 hours of training in psychedelic medicines from the Integrative Psychiatry Institute, studied metabolic psychiatry with Psychiatry Redefined, and certified in somatic breath work, reiki, tea ceremony, and meditation.
I currently hold the position of Wellness Director at Kadelyx Health, an out-patient ketamine center specializing in guided ketamine therapy. Additionally, I have a private practice specializing in metabolic psychiatry. Lastly, I am a speaker and mental health advocate teaching on subjects such as the gut-brain connection, stress & anxiety reduction, and cultivating life purpose.
My work on this planet, as a human being and as a Naturopathic Doctor, is to walk alongside individuals in their healing journey with the utmost love and encouragement. Guiding individual’s back home to themselves.
If this resonates, let's connect.

Somatic Breathwork
“It’s not about feeling better. It’s about getting better at feeling” – Gabor Mate
The body keeps the score, and often unresolved emotions or trauma can be trapped in the body leading to disease or mental health concerns. In this 1-hour breathwork session an arc of release and repatterning will occur.
In the first half of the session, the sympathetic nervous system (fight or flight) will be activated through deep diaphragmatic breathing to release stored emotions or trauma from the body, this could look like shaking, tears, or yelling. All expression is welcome and encouraged. The second half of the session involves activating the parasympathetic nervous system (rest & digest) through nasal breathing and bringing in what we want more of in life; connection, love, bliss, or peace. These sessions can lead to increase resilience to external stressors, improved emotional regulation, enhanced self-awareness, and heightened vitality. It’s been described as taking off a ‘backpack of bricks,’ truly being able to release what no longer serves us and deeply connect us to what does.
