THE SATORI TEAM

Japanese Buddhist Word Meaning Sudden Enlightenment or Flash of Insight

The dream of this little clinic was born from the revolutionary idea that a well supported dissociative / psychedelic experience can foster a profound personal insight. This insight can then provide meaning and potentially a glimmer of freedom from the day to day depressed/ limited person we believe ourselves to be. Satori.

Paul Lopez - Admin Assitant

I’ve been part of the Satori Healing team for almost three years now, and during that time I’ve worn many hats, from IT and technical support to patient coordination and everything in between.

I truly enjoy being involved in different aspects of what we do and helping things run smoothly behind the scenes.

Outside of work, I’m a big fan of the outdoors, whether it’s hiking, exploring, or just getting some fresh air. I’m also a huge food lover... just don’t bring me anything from the sea!
