Mind Balance Infusions

Laura Jackson is a native of Texas who grew up in the Dallas/Fort Worth area. Laura has been a registered nurse since 1998 and a certified registered nurse anesthetist (CRNA) since 2007. She holds a Bachelor’s of Science from the University of Texas Arlington and a Master’s Degree from the University of Texas Health Science Center. Laura has worked with ketamine for more than 14 years, including being a clinical study coordinator for the MKO (midazolam/ketamine/ondansetron) melt. 2020, and the pandemic, changed all of us. As Laura endured the challenges in healthcare and at home, she realized her calling was outside the operating room. She wanted to make lives better; she wanted to make a difference. She started providing care to ketamine patients and realized this was her true calling. She grew up with family members that have been devastated by depression and mental illness. She knows their struggles and sees this as an effective tool in helping her patients achieve a better life. At Mind Balance Infusions, she sees her patients as a part of the family – and family is always her top priority.
