Dr. Sara Herman, MD

After majoring in human biology with a concentration in technology and society at Stanford University, she studied and trained in cardiothoracic anesthesia at Harvard Medical School and Columbia University. Sara’s personal experience with mental health while undergoing breast cancer therapy in 2017 inspired her shift in focus from operating room medicine to psychedelic healing.

 

Dr. Sara has additional intensive training in responsible and ethical psychedelic-assisted therapy and integrative healing from the California Institute of Integral Studies, The Ketamine Training Center, The Integrative Psychiatry Institute, MAPS (Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Sciences) and The Academy of Integrative Health & Medicine. She is also a member of the Ketamine Psychotherapy Associates.  She has set an intention to practice psychedelic medicine with ethics, integrity, and a commitment to her patients’ holistic wellness.

 

Dr. Sara is dedicated to creating a safe and supportive environment for individuals to explore the depths of their consciousness. She believes in the power of Ketamine to unlock hidden potentials, heal emotional wounds, and foster personal development. Dr. Sara is not just a medical doctor; she is a visionary healer committed to guiding individuals toward a path of self-discovery, resilience, and personal empowerment through the transformative potential of Ketamine Assisted Therapy.

Our Mission

At Soul Strides, our mission is to foster profound healing and personal growth through transformative retreat experiences. We offer group ketamine-assisted psychotherapy integrated with the powerful and intuitive presence of equine therapy and tailored group coaching sessions. We believe that the ability to pay should not prohibit anyone from the opportunity to transform. Our goal is to guide individuals on a journey of self-discovery, emotional resilience, and holistic well-being.


 

Soul Strides is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to guiding and supporting individuals on this journey. We are committed to creating a compassionate and supportive environment where every participant can stride toward their soul’s true potential. We believe that everyone, regardless of their ability to pay, deserves the opportunity to heal and create a community. Our hope is that those who benefit from their transformation will pay it forward, helping to grow the herd and extend our mission of empathy, connection, and lasting positive change.
