Meet the Rythmia medical team and clinical staff. Our multidisciplinary group of licensed medical doctors, registered nurses, and specialized facilitators is dedicated to providing the highest standard of care in the plant-medicine industry.
Chief Medical Officer
As the Chief Medical Officer at Rythmia, Dr. McNairy oversees all clinical operations and medical protocols. With over 25 years of experience in the healthcare and mental health fields, he ensures that every guest receives the highest standard of specialized, compassionate care in a safe, medically supervised environment.
This section illustrates the structural balance of our active team. A core pillar of the Rythmia safety protocol is maintaining a robust medical and nursing leadership tier to oversee and support our expansive clinical and facilitation staff.
Unlike unregulated retreats, the Rythmia Costa Rica employees are structured like a professional medical clinic. Our staff-to-guest ratio ensures that there is always a licensed medical professional within immediate reach during all clinical and ceremonial activities.
