Executive Director of The Vilomah Foundation which a non-profit that advocates ibogaine & plant medicine for the treatment of substance abuse and provides support for their families.
Susan is a visionary advocate dedicated to transforming the landscape of mental health and substance use treatment. Her mission is deeply personal: after spending six years navigating a broken healthcare system with her son, Tyler, she channeled the grief of his passing in 2020 into a relentless drive for systemic change. Susan believes that such losses are a universal call to action to replace stigma with compassion and connection.
Grounded in integrity and humility, Susan leverages her background in publishing and communications to champion policy reform and patient-centered care. She is particularly committed to the accessible integration of ibogaine and other plant medicines, viewing them as vital tools for addressing the root causes of addiction. By combining professional expertise with lived experience, Susan works to ensure that innovative, dignified, and effective healing is accessible to all.
