Cozumel, Mexico

The Team Behind
Your Healing

Medical experts, psychologists, coaches, and advisors working in concert, so that your treatment is safe, ethical, and genuinely effective.

Our Philosophy

At MindScape Retreat, our distinguished team of medical experts, psychologists, coaches, and advisors work collaboratively to ensure scientifically-based, safe, ethical, and effective treatment plans.

Every member of our team was selected not only for their credentials, but for their genuine commitment to patient wellbeing. We operate from the conviction that psychedelic-assisted therapy, administered correctly, can produce outcomes that no other treatment modality offers. That conviction demands absolute clinical accountability and deep human compassion in equal measure.

Core Principles

Clinical Excellence

Every protocol is built on peer-reviewed evidence, cardiac screening, and physician oversight. Safety is not aspirational. it is structural.

Individualized Care

No two patients are treated identically. Your history, physiology, and goals shape a bespoke treatment plan from intake through integration.

Ethical Practice

We operate transparently within Mexican medical and regulatory frameworks. Pricing, risks, and expectations are disclosed fully before any commitment is made.

Holistic Integration

Transformation requires a container. Yoga, nutrition, therapy, and sound healing surround the primary treatment, maximizing and sustaining its impact.

Clinical Team

The Specialists Guiding Your Care

Clinical Director

Dr. Omar Calderon, M.D.

A native of Cozumel and recognized among the top physicians in Mexico, Dr. Calderon brings a dual mastery of conventional medicine and integrative psychedelic protocols. He oversees every treatment plan at MindScape, ensuring that clinical rigor and patient safety remain the foundation of every journey. His deep roots in Cozumel give the retreat an authenticity that purely transplanted clinical operations cannot replicate.

Senior Medical Advisor

Scott Gagel

With over 25 years practicing as a US physician and a specialist focus on plant medicine and holistic healing, Scott brings a rare bridge between mainstream medicine and the emerging field of psychedelic-assisted therapy. His clinical lens shapes our protocols for opioid recovery, depression, and chronic pain, ensuring our methods are evidence-based, not merely anecdotal.

Head Nurse

Luisa Cab, RN

Luisa is a full-time member of the MindScape care team, present throughout every treatment session. Her extensive nursing experience in acute and integrative care settings means that every patient is monitored with clinical precision. Her calm, grounded presence has become an anchor for patients navigating the intensity of ibogaine and 5-MeO-DMT sessions.

Lead Psychologist

Catherine Bellato

Catherine specializes in individualized care, weaving evidence-based therapeutic techniques, including trauma-informed CBT, somatic processing, and narrative therapy, into each patient's preparation and integration journey. She conducts pre-treatment psychological assessments and designs personalized integration roadmaps that support lasting change after the acute experience.

Clinical Psychologist

Anita Scanlan

UK-trained and fully bilingual in English and Spanish, Anita brings expertise in Cognitive Behavioral Hypnotherapy (CBH) and applied neuroscience. Her work focuses on rewiring the cognitive and behavioral loops that sustain addiction, depression, and PTSD. She is particularly skilled with patients who have found conventional therapy insufficient, those who arrive at MindScape as a last resort and leave with a genuine first step.

Head Wellness Coordinator & Nutritionist

Daisy Silva

Daisy designs the nutritional and wellness scaffolding that supports every patient's recovery. She coordinates preparation protocols, manages dietary support during treatment, and oversees the broader wellness experience. from cold water immersion to rest schedules. Her nutritional expertise ensures that patients arrive biochemically prepared for treatment and recover with optimal physiological support.

Yoga, Meditation & Sound Therapy Specialist

Edelma Rodriguez

Edelma brings grounded, embodied healing to MindScape through daily yoga, guided meditation, and vibrational sound therapy. Her practice creates a container of calm that amplifies the therapeutic impact of psychedelic work. For patients navigating profound psychological shifts, her sessions provide anchoring, presence, and a body-forward pathway through the integration process.

Our Setting

A Sanctuary Built for Healing

Our facility on Cozumel Island is purpose-designed for the intimacy and safety that psychedelic therapy demands. A small patient census means that every person receives the full attention of our team, not a conveyor belt experience, but a deeply personal one.

Private rooms with en-suite bathrooms, nutritionally curated meals, daily yoga and meditation, and access to the natural splendor of Cozumel create an environment where healing is not incidental. it is architectural.
