Numinus develops and delivers mental health care using psychedelic-assisted therapy. The company recently announced a proposed acquisition of Novamind, a mental health company that enables safe access to psychedelic medicine through a network of clinics and clinical research sites.
Numinus expects the acquisition will bolster its financial performance and grow its annual revenue more than five times.
“Looking forward, our recently announced proposed acquisition of Novamind will be transformational for Numinus as we establish a strong U.S. presence with eight revenue producing clinics located in Utah and Arizona. It also provides two additional clinical research sites and a strong pipeline of clinical research business, which will significantly expand Numinus’ contract research capabilities,” Nyquvest said.

Numinus currently has five wellness clinics (one in Vancouver, one in Toronto, and three in Montreal) offering services to clients with a total of 21 treatment rooms. The company also has research clinics in Vancouver and Montreal where psychedelic studies are being conducted.
The company started trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange in December and began trading on the OTCQX Best Market in January.
