Marla Peterson, CRNA — Music City Ketamine
Marla Peterson MSB, APRN, CRNA • Founder & Owner
Her Story

This clinic exists because
she's been there too.

Marla's journey with ketamine therapy began with a personal struggle. She experienced the depths of depression, anxiety, and the frustration of treatments that didn't work. Traditional medications left her feeling discouraged. Then ketamine therapy became a turning point — providing a renewed sense of hope, clarity, and a path toward healing she hadn't thought possible.

That experience was so profound it inspired her to create Music City Ketamine. She wanted to share this transformative therapy with others who were seeking relief — people stuck in the same cycle of medications that don't work, therapists who can't quite reach the root, and a medical system that too often treats symptoms instead of causes.

As a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, Marla brings the highest level of clinical training to every session. She's not reading off a protocol card — she's the person managing your airway, calibrating your dose in real time, and monitoring every vital sign throughout your treatment.

This is a clinic built by someone who understands what it feels like to sit in that chair and need something to work. That informs everything — from the weighted blankets to the therapy dogs to the coffee bar. It's not a medical experience designed by administrators. It's a healing experience designed by a patient who became a provider.

Our Approach

What makes this clinic
different.

Anesthesia-Level Care

Your provider isn't a telehealth nurse practitioner reading a script. Marla is a CRNA — the same credential managing airways in operating rooms. She's in the room, monitoring your vitals, adjusting your dose in real time.

Not a Clinic. A Space.

Private treatment suites. Weighted blankets. Eye masks. Curated music. A coffee bar with snacks. Two therapy dogs named Walter White and Wilma. Every detail designed to make this feel like anything but a hospital.

Honest Conversations

We'll tell you if ketamine isn't right for your situation. No hard sells, no packages designed to maximize billing. A real conversation about what makes sense for you, and what doesn't.

Why IV? Why not at-home?

At-home ketamine companies mail you pills or pre-filled syringes and hope for the best. IV ketamine is the gold standard because your provider controls the dose in real time — milligram by milligram — and can pause, adjust, or stop at any moment. If something goes wrong, intervention happens in seconds, not the 7–12 minutes it takes for EMS to reach your living room. Learn more about how IV ketamine works →
