Menlo Park, CA – Dr. Sara Herman, founder and medical director of Soft Reboot Wellness – Ketamine Therapy Clinic in Bay Area, recently presented groundbreaking research at the 2025 American Society of Anesthesiologists national meeting in San Antonio. Her innovative Proximal Intercostal Block (PICB) technique offers an equally effective alternative to traditional stellate ganglion blocks, with the distinct advantage of allowing bilateral administration on the same day for conditions involving autonomic nervous system dysregulation.
The presentation positioned Dr. Herman as a pioneer in ultrasound-guided nerve block applications for mental health and chronic conditions. Her research highlights promising outcomes for Long COVID, POTS, PTSD, and related disorders, particularly through the use of stellate ganglion block for PTSD in Menlo Park, CA, where the treatment has shown significant therapeutic benefit.
“We’re expanding the possibilities for patients who need comprehensive nervous system support,” says Dr. Sara Herman, who also offers ketamine for PTSD Bay Area therapies as part of her integrative approach.
Unlike conventional symptom-focused approaches, Soft Reboot Wellness prioritizes comprehensive root-cause healing. Dr. Herman combines her board certifications in anesthesiology and integrative medicine with advanced training in functional and psychedelic medicine. The clinic offers SGB and ketamine combo therapy in Menlo Park, CA, integrating multiple modalities including vibroacoustic sound healing, breathwork, and trauma-informed integration to address the whole person, mind, body, and nervous system.
Treatment protocols are designed as supported healing journeys rather than isolated interventions. Each new client commits to a minimum of two ketamine sessions for adequate preparation and integration work. Most individuals participate in weekly sessions lasting 2 hours and 15 minutes over 4–12 weeks, transitioning to extended booster sessions that reinforce neuroplastic changes and maintain progress. This intentional pacing fosters lasting nervous system recalibration rather than fleeting symptom relief.
Dr. Herman’s commitment extends beyond clinical practice through partnerships with Thank You Life and Enthea, organizations dedicated to expanding access to psychedelic-assisted therapies. She also co-founded Soul Strides, a program that integrates ketamine for anxiety in Menlo Park, CA with equine-assisted therapy, supporting women navigating trauma and life transitions.
