Jirah Anesthesia

“I wish I had known this existed a long time ago. It deserves more stars than Google will ever offer.. Thewanda is a great person, she makes the trip worthwhile just with her personality and empathetic mindset, I consider myself very OCD/organized - her ability to communicate, etc. impressed me thoroughly, and made this as simple and stress-free as possible I recently started going to manage nerve pain after rupturing a disc in my neck; after a month of turmoil, multiple trips to ER - no meds would help for more than a few hours This resolved the pain IMMEDIATELY and it’s been minimal for days since. Much better than an injection - which is supposed to serve same purpose, just a lot more invasive and through insurance of course Insurance doesn’t like solutions, it likes money, so that’s why they don’t cover - likely never will, but it’s worth every dime The doctors don’t seem to be very aware of it, but if you ask they will refer. I strongly recommend for nerve pain, this beat everything Although I still have to take steps to recover the issue itself (PT), not having constant pain throughout the process is a true blessing - this was really starting to affect my quality of life, and that’s been returned! Aside from the pain relief, the mental clarity that came with the procedure is just as motivating/helpful. The anxiety that had built up with the pain was all released, I truly feel like I’m back to myself after one visit I hope to continue this relationship long term, truly a great experience all around!! Could not give a higher recommendation!!”

“I have been a patient with Jirah Anesthesia for almost 2 years :) . Ms. Peterson is truly the most compassionate, genuine, professional, and patient-centered medical practitioner I have ever met. In my few decades of life, battling Complex PTSD, I have seen 20+ medical/homeopathic/psychiatric/therapeutic etc practitioners and doctors. Not once did I feel like more than 'just a number'... But that all changed when I came to Jirah. Ms. Peterson has never made me feel rushed or dismissed, in her care. She is the first to validate my experiences, communicate thoroughly + directly, as well as provide a treatment that makes a meaningful impact on my CPTSD symptoms. For instance, I experience reduced reactivity+hyper-vigilance, as well as fewer panic attacks throughout the week. I have never been able to say that, before now. In conjunction with my therapist and family/community, I believe my sessions with Ms. Peterson have had a life-saving impact on me. I can say with 99.9% certainty, I would not be here, today, if I hadn't taken the leap of faith and come to Jirah Anesthesia. Thank you, Ms. Peterson. For everything ”

“Imagine that each of these lenses is a past trauma, fear, or patterns of thinking. As they accumulate through life, they assert influence on how you think and perceive things and events. It is like looking at something through a multitude of these lenses. Distorting your clear picture of what you need to see. Much like a filter or multiple filters on a photo. What if all these “lenses” you’ve accumulated in your life that stop you from seeing things they truly are:… were removed. You’d be able to see life or what’s bothering you without the distortion of these lenses of trauma or thinking patterns you’re stuck in for the first time. Your Ego that holds on to your identity is removed. When this happens; new ideas and solutions can be discovered. It’s like a month or more of talk therapy in the span of an hour, without the encumbrance of these filters that you’ve accumulated through life that distort or funnel or force you in to the same old patterns of thinking. This allows you to have come up with new angles of solving life’s obstacles that you maybe would have never thought of or considered. I recommend that you preload some spiritual or motivational lectures as well as music that really moves you and switch back and forth as you feel the need. Sometimes issues are so complex, they are like a spider web…If one strand is pulled, it can affect many strands if not the entire web. Just like our issues and or problems can have far reaching cause and effects of aspects of life, relationships and conditions. That we may or not be aware of. Same as the effects or consequences, they may be far reaching and have effects that we are not aware of. This treatment takes you above your normal consciousness and gives you a bird’s eye view of it all. In this knowing, you see the complex and far reaching causes and effects, your issue is bringing in to your life. This will allow you to come up with deeper solutions that consider all aspects of what you experienced during treatment.”

“Thewanda is truly one of a kind. From the moment I started working with her, I felt her compassion, warmth, and genuine care. She doesn’t just provide treatment — she creates an experience that makes you feel safe, supported, and understood. Her encouragement gave me the confidence I needed, and her kindness made even the most overwhelming moments feel manageable. Every session with Thewanda feels like a breath of fresh air — she listens with her heart, celebrates every bit of progress, and somehow knows exactly what to say to bring hope when you need it most. I’ve gained not only relief and clarity with ketamine infusions, but also a renewed sense of strength within myself. It is the ONLY thing that can knock me out of a migraine flare. Only thing. I was skeptical, but each infusion brings me closer to my core self. I am so grateful to have Thewanda by my side on this journey. Thewanda doesn’t just do her job — she changes lives, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. And her office is stunning, and so zen! She’s one of the good ones guys! Oh and the queen of IV placement!”
