Dr. Bonnie May | Chiropractor, author

My healing practice, as a Chiropractor, (and whole food supplements) is to help people be healthy and stop believing in limitations in their own healing abilities. My life long passion is to educate parents how to keep their children healthy, which is their natural state, natural every day way life is meant to be, and to not put children on Pharmaceuticals first, as Rx are dangerous with some potential serious side effects. My belief is that by helping to build a world with each and every healthier generation, war will stop. Because happy healthy people don’t start wars. Read more>>

Brice Hancock | CEO, Founder & Entrepreneur

Addiction is the health crisis of my generation and also of those generations right behind me. My company offers residential treatment with all levels of outpatient care accompanied by quality, structured sober living. Historically, treatment centers have offered no more than 30 days of care and have been located in remote locations which is fine but few people stay sober from their first treatment experience and anyone can stay sober far away from the challenges of real life. Addiction is a chronic illness that needs long term treatment. We are located in the city of Denver and our motto is “recover where you live”. We have highly qualified compassionate staff and we place great emphasis on community. This means our patients stay with us for a long time, sometimes a year or more, and they get plugged into a whole community of people who are in recovery. After their first 30 days they transition to outpatient and sober living and they can get a job, go to shool, reunite with loved ones and re-integrate back into life here in the great city of Denver. They can unpack trauma, deal with mental health challenges, and face the obstacles of life with the clinical and social support needed to achieve long term recovery. Read more>>
