We carry inside of us the answers we seek outside of us.
This is the medicine within you
Where we started and how far we've come.
We’re Dr. Emma Andre and Dr. Derek Andre, a married team of naturopathic doctors called to this work through both personal and professional experience. In the span of just four years, our family walked through profound trauma, loss, and grief—experiences that shattered life as we knew it, and ultimately opened the door to something greater. It was through this unraveling that we discovered the healing power of ketamine and psychedelic therapy, not just as physicians, but as humans searching for meaning, peace, and reconnection.
Along the way, we’ve witnessed the silent weight that anxiety, depression, trauma, and despair place on the hearts of so many we love. These moments became sacred teachers, revealing that true healing begins when we turn inward—when we honor the wisdom of the body, the truth of the soul, and the light that still lives within us, even in the darkest moments. This is why we do this work. This is the essence of Medicine Within.
Our Philosophy
We believe that every person has the innate potential to experience peace, joy, and meaningful connection. True healing happens when we go beyond symptoms to address the root causes of suffering by empowering you to take an active role in your own journey. Through genuine connection, a holistic approach, and guidance in accessing your own inner wisdom, we help you transform not only your health, but your entire experience of life.
Our background
As naturopathic doctors with over 33 years of combined experience in healthcare, we come from a medical tradition that honors the body’s innate ability to heal. Our training began at a rigorous integrative medical school that emphasized whole-person care and a strong foundation in both conventional and natural medicines. Early in our clinical work, we began to notice a consistent pattern—many physical symptoms are rooted in the mental, emotional, and spiritual realms.
This realization sparked a deep interest in mind-body medicine. That growing interest combined with navigating several years of personal loss, grief, and trauma ultimately led us to ketamine therapy. Over the past decade, we’ve focused our ongoing medical training and clinical practice on the cutting-edge field of psychedelic therapy. We combine our background in holistic and integrative medicine with the transformative potential of ketamine to support meaningful, lasting healing.
