Clinical Healthcare Background Meets Compassionate Facilitation
Jen Snyder is a Registered Polysomnographic Technologist (RPSGT) and Oregon-licensed psilocybin facilitator. Her medical sciences background spans sleep medicine, histology, pathology, funeral services, and pathology work at the Las Vegas coroner's office.
In 2022, Jen lost her fiancé, Marcus, to suicide. While traditional talk therapy was helpful, deep grief remained until personal experiences with psilocybin provided a profound turning point. Supported by first responders and military veterans who offered safe space to rebuild, Jen dedicated her work to creating facilitators with unwavering clinical discipline and compassionate presence.
In addition to founding AAA Learning Institute, Jen established the Hero Heal Foundation, an Oregon 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to providing healing opportunities for first responders and military veterans.
