Death is a journey we all experience

MDMA-assisted therapy​ has shown promise in treating Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder in veterans and people who have experienced trauma. 

​

The EMMAC Study will help further understand the effect of MDMA-assisted therapy on depression and anxiety symptoms in patients with advanced-stage cancer.

​

Through supportive discussion, compassionate presence and mindful reflection, participants are encouraged to allow their Inner Healing Intelligence do the work (mahi) to bring about healing and equilibrium. IHI is also a te reo Maori word that signifies essential force, the bridge between the physical (taha tinana) and the spiritual (taha wairua).

​

MDMA can act as a catalyst to facilitate the mahi, making it easier to talk, feel, connect and process.
