Speaker: Nico and Susan Simon, Co-Founders JourneyŌM

Nico Simon is a dedicated advocate for Psychedelic Assisted Therapy (PAT) and a skilled concierge professional with a background in Information Technology. After a successful 25-year career in IT and overcoming personal struggles with complex PTSD, Major Depression, and Panic Attacks, Nico discovered the life-changing potential of PAT in 2019. This led him and his wife Susan, with whom he shares a 30-year marriage and two adult children, to found JourneyŌM, a concierge service focused on connecting PAT seekers with vetted facilitators. Their mission is driven by a commitment to harm reduction and high standards in healing practices, reflecting their vast experience in networking and concierge services, including their involvement in creating the American Express Platinum Concierge program.

Susan Simon's journey is rooted in movement-based artistry and personal healing practices. Her path led her to establish her own Pilates & Yoga studio, where she provided one-on-one guidance to individuals seeking physical and emotional healing through movement. As a witness to Nico's transformational journey in the healing space, Susan recognized the need for a support system for allies to seekers. Her commitment to fostering resilience and understanding among allies is a cornerstone of JourneyŌM 's mission.

Nico and Susan have fully dedicated themselves to the PAT field, even selling their home and traveling across the U.S. in an RV to personally vet guides for their service. Nico’s expertise in IT, combined with his concierge skills and passion for mental health, positions him as a leading figure in the psychedelic therapy space.
