KAPRT may help reduce or eliminate pain associated with conditions like back and neck pain, migraines, fibromyalgia, pelvic pain, TMJ, nerve pain, and other forms of chronic or unexplained pain. It’s especially effective for pain that persists after healing, when the brain and nervous system continue to send “false alarm” signals.

Many clients begin noticing changes in their relationship to pain within the first few sessions, such as reduced fear, greater relaxation, or moments of relief. Sustainable improvements often occur over the full series as the brain learns to reinterpret pain signals and the nervous system stabilizes.

Yes. At Illumma, all KAPRT sessions are conducted in a safe, medically supervised environment with a highly trained team. The ketamine infusions are administered by licensed medical professionals, and the therapeutic process is guided by a certified Pain Reprocessing Therapy practitioner and integration coach. Most clients find the experience deeply calming and restorative.

Absolutely. KAPRT can complement other therapeutic or medical treatments. Many clients continue working with physical therapists, counselors, or physicians while engaging in KAPRT. We believe in a holistic approach to healing—one that supports body, mind, and spirit together.

Each session begins with grounding and intention-setting, followed by a 45-minute IV ketamine infusion. While in this neuroplastic state, clients engage in Pain Reprocessing Therapy techniques that help shift how the brain perceives pain. The session concludes with integration and reflection to anchor the experience.

While both therapies use ketamine to enhance neuroplasticity, KAPRT focuses specifically on chronic pain. It pairs ketamine with structured, evidence-based Pain Reprocessing Therapy to retrain the brain’s pain pathways. Traditional KAT focuses more on emotional healing, depression, trauma, and anxiety.

All KAPRT sessions are facilitated by Nori Crain, a certified Pain Reprocessing Therapy practitioner and trauma-informed integration coach. Nori brings years of experience supporting clients through chronic pain, trauma recovery, and nervous system regulation, helping each client feel safe, supported, and empowered throughout the process.

Ketamine-assisted therapies, including KAPRT, are not currently covered by insurance because ketamine’s use in mental health and pain treatment is considered “off-label.” However, Illumma provides superbills that many clients submit for partial reimbursement through their out-of-network benefits.

The first step is a 1-hour onboarding session with Nori to review your history, discuss your goals, and ensure KAPRT is the right fit for your needs. From there, our team will help you schedule your series and support you every step of the way.
