Dr. Jeff McNairy, Psy.D., M.P.H. has been working in the health care field for 25 years. He is the former Director of Passages in Malibu, CA. Presently he is Chief Operations Officer and Chief Medical Director of Rythmia Life Advancement Center. Rythmia is one of the few places that serves the ancient medicine, ayahuasca, under medical supervision. Through Dr. McNairy’s intense experience with the most desperate patient populations (addition, acute mental health, and trauma), he has seen that the only real healing can come from within.
