Sanctuary Tulum has offered Ibogaine, Ayahuasca, 5-MeO-DMT, and psilocybin under one roof since November 11, 2011, licensed under a federal health license. We are not a trend. We are not a retreat that recently added plant medicine. We have been refining this integrative approach for more than a decade.
We exist to offer something that conventional treatment has consistently failed to deliver: a genuine path forward for people who had given up on finding one.
What We Do Not Do
We think it is important to say this first — because the absence of these things is part of what makes us different:
- • We do not diagnose medical diseases
- • We do not prescribe pharmaceutical medications, but we do help people heal off of it rapidly, safely, and effectively.
- • We do not use outdated, ineffective group therapy, talk therapy, this creates more rumination. We get to the core underlying issue.
- • We do not replace one addictive substance with another
- • We do not accept institutional funding, corporate sponsorship, or investor pressure
What We Treat
We work with people who carry the following — often in combination, often after years of being told their condition was "manageable" but not healable:
- • Depression, anxiety, and treatment-resistant PTSD
- • Trauma, grief, and deep emotional fragmentation
- • Benzodiazepine dependency and withdrawal syndromes
- • Opioid, alcohol, stimulant, and poly-substance addiction
- • SSRI and antidepressant dependency
- • Medication dependency and withdrawal from long-term pharmaceutical use
- • Behavioral addictions — including sex, gambling, shopping, porn, and crypto
- • Burnout, dissociation, and chronic emotional collapse
How We See Healing
We approach addiction and mental health not as moral failures or chemical imbalances to be suppressed — but as multi-dimensional human experiences that require a multi-dimensional response:
- • Biological — cellular damage, inflammation, and physiological dysregulation must be addressed directly
- • Neurological — the brain's chemistry and structure can be restored with the right protocols
- • Immunological — systemic immune dysfunction is a driver of mental illness that conventional treatment ignores
- • Environmental — what surrounds you either supports or sabotages recovery
- • Psychological — trauma cannot be medicated away; it must be processed
- • Emotional — grief, shame, and unresolved loss are physiological, not just philosophical
- • Spiritual — something must fill the space that addiction occupied, and it must be real
The Pouyan Method™: Our Healing Protocol
At the center of everything we do is the Pouyan Method™, developed by our founder Johnny Tabaie — not in a laboratory, but through twenty years of lived experience, direct observation, and self-funded research. It is designed to:
- Detox the body at a cellular level — not surface suppression
- Restore neurochemistry — not through medication, but through targeted IV protocols
- Repair and regenerate damaged neurons and cellular structures
- Process trauma and subconscious programming — in private, not in group settings
- Activate stem cells and accelerate biological regeneration
- Rewire thought patterns and emotional triggers with lasting tools
- Build a holistic lifestyle architecture that supports permanent recovery
Each client receives over 35 hours of one-on-one therapy per week — no group sessions, no shared treatment plans, and no generic protocols. Care is delivered privately, one client at a time.
