Rob Rucker, EMT-P Revive Therapeutics (Suite B)
Rob Rucker, EMT-P.
I entered the space of Firefighting and Paramedicine in 2003 with the belief of helping and saving people in their worst times. I realized after 10 years in this space that the help I was providing although critical in some cases, wasn’t fulfilling my deepest desires to help people reach their fullest potential and was ultimately helping people chase a broken system. It was at this point that I began the work on myself, my abilities to handle the traumas that I allowed to attach to my energetic body, and the habits thatcame along with that.Once stepping into health, Wellness and Longevity I realized that I had found my passion and how I could truly help people find their deepest potential with all kinds of modalities that I have personally tested on myself and my life. Be it IV nutrition therapy, Peptide therapy, Mitochondrial health and performance, Light and Sound therapies, Gut biome and Micronutrient analysis, I have honestly tried it all. Through these trials I have found ways to live my best life and I look forward to helping others do the same.Be well, RobTo schedule: (970) 481-6023 rob@revivefoco.com revivefoco.com

Carol Dorsey, Occupational Therapy, Myofascial Release
My journey into the health and wellness industry began in the late 70’s. It has been a circuitous path from fitness instructor and personal trainer to becoming an Advanced practitioner in John Barnes’ Approach to Myofascial Release (MFR). Underlying each stop in my journey was a deep curiosity into the nature of healing. I believe that our bodies are designed to heal and that we each have inner wisdom that can guide the process. What I provide is an expertise and practiced sense on seeing where specific areas in the body are holding tension and causing dysfunction, the impact on the whole body and how to release it.
Along with MFR I have taken coursework and/or studied the following modalities: Rhythmic Movement Training, BIO Dynamic Cranial Sacral, Pranic Healing, Medical Qi Gong.
