IMAGINE   ·   INFORM   ·  INSPIRE

Jain Uplift has but one goal - to imagine, inspire, and inform on issues of interest not just to us, but to millions of people around the country and the globe.


We focus on four core topics: mental wellness, resilience building, positive news from the world of psychopharmacology, and psychedelics.


We look forward to embarking on this adventure with all of you. May you find information that uplifts your mental health, uplifts your resilience, uplifts your education about psychopharmacology, and uplifts your interest in psychedelic education.

Who We Are

Here we are on a windy day in 2011 on a ferry in Seattle. Be forewarned, we have aged a bit since then :). The wind messed up our hair but just as in life, rough times do not necessarily have to ruin the journey, right? Of course not!


We are a team of a psychotherapist and a psychiatrist, who see humans as more than a collection of their difficulties and symptoms. We see limitless possibilities in everyone and the potential for growth. Sometimes, we just need uplifting news, tips, and ideas to elevate ourselves and fulfill our potential. If any of this sounds like you and your needs, you've come to the right place.
