Welcome to Mbody Healthcare
At MBody Healthcare, we focus on one thing: you. We strive to provide an environment that is welcoming and feels like home. There are no lab coats or other emblems you may initially think of when a doctor’s office comes to mind. We will likely be wearing t-shirts and jeans when you arrive. Although unconventional, this is simply an outward expression of who we are and by no means indicates us not taking your healthcare needs seriously. We encourage the same from you. Come as you are. We prefer people to be honest, upfront, and comfortable with making all their needs known. We genuinely believe this approach fosters connection and provides a fantastic catalyst for positive outcomes.
We are humans full of imperfections and don’t honestly fit the stereotype of a “doctor,” but we know medicine and are passionate about reaching those who need us. Maybe in a world where the medical providers were not so separate from those they are trying to help, we would see results much quicker and with lasting changes.

Heather Finney
I am a certified Acceptance and Integration Training (AAIT) practitioner and Certified Professional Coach. As an AAIT Journey Guide, I am dedicated to being part of your healing journey, helping you prepare for and supporting you throughout your ketamine treatment. I’ve been using AAIT for my own healing since 2017, working with other practitioners and embracing it as a personal embodiment practice on my own. I’ve found it incredibly effective in helping me remove charged emotions from my conditioned self, allowing me to access my true self and make decisions with greater awareness.
Having used ketamine in my own healing, I fully understand the powerful benefits it can bring to our personal life journeys. As a wellness coach, I look forward to helping you uncover your unique path to wellbeing. Through AAIT practices, I aim to enhance your ketamine healing experience by helping you prepare with intention, remove any charged energies related to anxiety, and address blocks that may arise throughout your treatment.
Let’s work together to maximize the benefits of your personalized healing journey! Reach out today to schedule an appointment and begin your path to wellness.
Fun fact: I’m an artist and love expressing my personal journey through painting and art.
