Community & Recovery Resources

Navigating life during and after treatment can be overwhelming. These are local Denver practitioners, spaces, and souls who offer exceptional care, specialized expertise, and true comfort. Each one comes personally vetted and highly recommended. These include resources that I’ve discovered throughout my own journey, and I wanted to share them as “things I wish I knew sooner”. I hope you find these helpful in your healing process and feel to reach out to me or the amazing human listed for further information.

Specialized Recovery & Pain Management

Icelandic Fitness | Personal Training & Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
