Numinus Wellness Inc. (TSX:NUMI, OTC:LKYSF) said it has launched a new clinic licensing model as it seeks to expand access to new regions across North America.
The new Numinus Network platform offers independent practitioners the opportunity to own and operate their own clinic under the Numinus Wellness brand through a licensing and services arrangement, the company said.
"We believe that we are on the verge of a significant shift in mental health care as psychedelic-assisted therapy is becoming more accessible, and Numinus wants to take a leading role in providing this important clinical care,” said Payton Nyquvest, founder and CEO of Numinus Wellness in a statement.
“The Numinus Network will allow us to work with practitioners who believe in the Numinus brand and protocols, but prefer greater independence in leading their team and practice."

As a Numinus Network partner, practitioners will benefit from a proven clinic model, comprehensive training curriculum, access to Numinus treatment protocols, ongoing operational and marketing support, and a trusted brand. They will also have access to Numinus' extensive network of highly experienced healthcare professionals.
Numinus also announced a partnership with Healing Commercial Real Estate Inc (CREI), which will give Numinus Network licensees the option of leasing a fully functioning Numinus Wellness clinic location, including leasehold improvements and clinic infrastructure, directly from Healing CREI.
It said it is currently holding talks with several prospective clinic owners.
Numinus said it will continue to evaluate corporately-owned clinic growth opportunities alongside the Numinus Network launch.
