We had the good fortune of connecting with Charles Patti and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Charles, what is the most important factor behind your success?
At MY Self Wellness, we’re just people helping people. We put helping people first before everything else.
We’re mission-driven and in the industry of helping people heal. When we started My Self Wellness, we knew if we just focused on helping the next person, everything else would fall into place which it has. In this industry, if you’re more focused on all the other stuff, and not client outcomes, you won’t get any new business.

MY Self Wellness isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach. We recognize each journey is unique to the individual. Each of our team members has suffered from mental health issues and in turn can use their own experience to help our clients to live a more fulfilling life.

I draw from my own life experiences and put into practice my own healing journey to help others. Ending peoples’ suffering is what motivates me. If I can help end someone’s misery and make a difference in their life, that’s what gets me out of bed every morning.

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
Founded by Charles Patti and Christina Thomas, MY Self Wellness is an award-winning, cutting-edge ketamine clinic and pioneer in the psychedelics space, based in Bonita Springs, FL. MY Self Wellness guides and empowers individuals on their health and wellness journey by combining the healing benefits of ketamine with new lifestyle practices for a full mental reset. MY Self Wellness has experience helping its clients get off pharmaceuticals and move past the symptoms of depression, anxiety, trauma/PTSD, chronic pain and more.

MY Self Wellness specializes in breakthrough experiences by offering IM (intramuscular) ketamine. The goal of the IM ketamine treatment is to create a non-ordinary or altered state of consciousness to facilitate a profound transpersonal (transcendental, mystical or spiritual) peak experience. When paired with talk therapy, MY Self Wellness’ goal is to explore and clear the psyche so clients can experience a full mental reset using ketamine therapy. MY Self Wellness takes a medically supervised, custom-tailored approach to serve each individual’s needs.

The clinic offers an array of services, including ketamine therapy, IV vitamin infusions, NAD+ therapy, medical cannabis recommendations, integrative nutrition services and counseling. The clinic encompasses a multidisciplinary group of psychiatrists, registered nurses, infusion specialists and integration specialists. Ketamine is administered in several ways, including intravenous infusion (IV), IM injection, intranasally, orally and sublingually (as a dissolving troche or lozenge). To date, it employs a team of 17 professionals who have helped over 1,500 individuals find healing through over 12,000 treatments.

As MY Self Wellness continues to explore ways to expand access to ketamine therapy, it recently became the first ketamine clinic in Florida to partner with Enthea, a third-party administrator of health insurance plans and the only one offering psychedelic healthcare as a workplace benefit.

In 2024, MY Self Wellness was named the winner of The Official Community’s Choice Awards of Bonita Springs 2024, Alternative Medicine category for the third consecutive year. The Best of the Best program polls the local community to select the best businesses and organizations in the area.

Also in 2024, MY Self Wellness was named the winner of The Best of Gulfshore 2024 Best Med-Spa in Lee County in the Beauty and Wellness Category. The awards celebrate and recognize the best that the Lee County community has to offer.

Knowing the strong transformations their clients have experienced as a result of psychedelic ketamine therapy, Patti and Thomas founded the nonprofit Warriors of Consciousness in 2022, with the mission to help those who cannot afford psychedelic ketamine therapy treatments. Because ketamine therapy is not covered by most insurance companies, they understand the importance of experiencing these transformations without financial restrictions. To date, Warriors of Consciousness has donated treatments to almost 100 individuals.

In an effort to break the stigma surrounding psychedelic medicine, MY Self Wellness has launched the MY Self Wellness podcast in 2024. The weekly podcast is hosted by Thomas and Patti. This podcast is more than just a conversation; it’s a mission-driven exploration into the revolutionary potential of alternative healing modalities and healthy habits. Through intimate discussions, personal anecdotes and expert insights, the team unravels the complexities of mental health issues and the profound impact that holistic and alternative therapies can have on individuals’ lives.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
One of my favorite spots to take visitors in Naples is Seed to Table, it’s a grocery store with six restaurants with different cuisines to choose from, four bars, a coffee shop, a kid’s play area for my son and live entertainment every night of the week. It’s like Disney for adults. I go there five days a week.

It’s part of the Oakes Farms family of companies which has 3,500 acres of farmland where they grow the fruits and vegetables that are sold at Seed to Table. Customers can order at the store and the food is prepared right in front of them. You can pick out all the best ingredients under one roof, and there’s something for everyone. They also own Food & Thought, which is another one of my favorites.

Naples Family Gym is like iron therapy to me.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
None of this would be possible without my partner Christina. I couldn’t do this without her. She risked it all and took a chance on me and MY Self Wellness. She took out a business loan and made the company happen because we are passionate about ketamine therapy and getting those struggling the help they need.

Christina and I have always been there for each other. There’s nothing better than having a partner who is just passionate and motivated about what you do.
