How are flexible working hours at Mindbloom?

Working with clients 1:1, group therapy settings, building my skills as a health coach, everyone who works there (as a guide) is sweet and compassionate and share a vision. Super flexible schedule and hours, allows for work/life balance. You learn A LOT by working with an extensive client load.

The pay is not great, especially because there are no benefits. Hours are not guaranteed or consistent. No PTO, no health bennies, not even discounts for psychedelic conventions. They also don't really offer proper "training", which could be so helpful. And recently they've moved into this era of cutting out a lot of guide/client texting time which has not been well-received by both clients and guides alike.

flexible schedule and satisfied patients,

repetitive, burnout, lots of changes, no benefits

I had some AMAZING times with mindbloom and the company. I celebrate and honor the intention of the company deeply and they are changing a lot of lives which is amazing! I especially like that they have further education opportunities for guides. Plus schedule flexibility is a life savor!

As a start-up, funding had to go back into the business, and guides (arguably the backbone of client experiences) were left behind in some ways. It also took WAY to long to have BIPAC circles. There are so many "nods" to Indigenous wisdom, of which modern "psychedelic therapy" owes everything, but no credit is given to the guides of the plant medicine world. The top has no Indigenous or any BIPOC in the council and this is felt. I fear for where things can go without proper honor of reciprocity (on multiple levels) in the field of psychedelic care - including here at Mindbloom. I don't think it matters if we are working with synthetic medicines - if we are treating it like indigenous ceremonies but not honoring the system as a WHOLE, we have a problem. And the problem often stems from an individualistic-centered way of being vs an ecosystem-centered way of being.

Great work culture that fosters continuous learning and improvement. Excellent clinical and administrative support. Provide cutting edge at-home ketamine therapy and see its positive impact on client outcomes. Clear and precise protocols in place to ensure safe delivery of care. Flexible work schedule/hours. Compensation for No-Shows. Continuous innovation and quality improvement initiatives within the company to improve experience for both clients and employees.

Extensive charting and documentation that can be time consuming. Below average wages/compensation. Fluctuations in patient volumes that sometime negatively impacts clinician earnings.

It's not to have a flexible schedule that you decide for yourself (with minimum availability requirements). The work is meaningful, seeing how people transform, and you get an interesting job title as a conversation starter. You get to interface with a lot of clients with a diverse range of things they're working on.

Radically underpaid for coaching work. They pit you against other guides to compete for a raise. They don't respect your time - a client can cancel at the very last minute or no show and you get nothing for it. Clients can also book next-day. There's no sort of compensation for keeping slots of your days per week available that rarely fill up. They don't seem very inclined to keep their guides and are content to have an increasingly rapid revolving door. Most clients want to do treatments in their off-time, which is your on-time, so you may struggle to maintain a social life (and pay your bills). To their credit, at least they're staying afloat.
