Founded by integrative psychotherapist and psychedelic integration specialist Deborah Kadagian, Solas was born from both professional insight and personal experience. With years of supporting individuals through transformation and deep integration work, Deborah recognized a critical gap in access—those who could benefit most from alternative healing approaches but lack the resources to pursue them.  Too often, those seeking this kind of treatment are unable to access it due to financial barriers. Solas exists to change that, offering a pathway for individuals who would otherwise be excluded from receiving this care.

​

a personal note from Deborah:

​

This foundation came together in the blink of an eye. I was sharing with someone how unfortunate it is that those who could most benefit from what I consider the most effective addiction treatment—ibogaine—are often the least able to afford it. In that moment, a voice rose up inside me:

“Put your money where your mouth is.”
It was loud and insistent.

And then the word Solas appeared in my mind—Gaelic for “light.” And just like that, this journey began.

​

While a foundation like this may not change the world overnight, it can absolutely change one life at a time. And that change ripples outward—because when one person heals, it touches families, communities, and generations. All is vibration. Our aim is to elevate that vibration by making this powerful treatment accessible to the 99%.

​

I discovered ibogaine in 2016 while searching for alternatives for my son, who was struggling with addiction. After exhausting the conventional rehab options in the U.S., we found a clinic in Tijuana—it was a bit of the Wild West at the time. But it worked. My son experienced profound healing and went on to study shamanism in Peru, exploring plant medicines and deeper layers of himself.

​

Tragically, during the early days of the COVID lockdown, after moving to a new city, he accidentally overdosed on fentanyl. He had invited new friends into his home, not knowing the danger that lay ahead. To say that a bright light went out in this world that day is a massive understatement.

 

I know for sure that in the spirit world, his light continues to shine—and I feel him cheering me on with this new endeavor.

​

Some of the most sensitive, creative, and beautiful souls are hidden beneath the pain of addiction. Help us help them. Pay it forward if you can.  

​

With much gratitude,

Deborah Kadagian
