Co-Owner & Wellness Director, Rest Recovery Wellness Logan
I was born and raised in Cache Valley and now live in the hills of Paradise, Utah with my husband Rusty and our six children. No matter where life has taken us — California, Texas, Mexico, Colombia — we always find our way back home. Home for us is the mountains, dirt under our fingernails, the ocean when we can get to it, and the land we are slowly rooting into through homesteading, our cattle, and the long-term vision of building something that serves both family and community through an organic garden and milk co-op.
My background is layered. I studied pre-med biology, worked in medical environments, became a banker, and eventually built seven businesses in a decade. In 2021, I co-founded Rockee Redd Apothecary, where I formulated many of the original herbal blends rooted in both cellular science and traditional plant medicine. Entrepreneurship has always been less about money and more about impact — building things that genuinely help people heal.
Today, I practice holistic health in an immersive and disciplined way. I build terrain-focused wellness protocols tailored specifically to each client. These protocols are rooted in naturopathic principles — the belief that when the body is aligned at a cellular level across mind, body, and spirit, it has an extraordinary capacity to restore and recalibrate.
My work is comprehensive. It includes physical strategies such as targeted supplementation, herbal medicine, detoxification support, metabolic optimization, structured recovery rhythms, and modality integration. It also includes mental and spiritual integration — nervous system regulation, belief work, emotional processing, spiritual anchoring, and cultivating internal safety. True transformation is not mechanical. It is layered.
I meet my clients exactly where they are. Whether they are overwhelmed, skeptical, deeply faithful, exhausted, or simply searching for clarity, we begin there. Together, we build something intentional and disciplined — a protocol that supports their biology while honoring their story. My role is not to override the body, but to help create the internal environment where it can respond.
This depth was forged through my own health journey.
In 2016, I began experiencing painful microblistering in my vulvar tissue that would cycle every four to six weeks, leaving raw, exposed skin and relentless discomfort. This pattern repeated for just over two years. What started as confusion turned into persistent pain, repeated misdiagnosis, and treatments that only worsened the irritation. I underwent multiple rounds of antibiotics and steroid creams without a clear diagnosis.
In 2018, after being told by my OB-GYN that the only remaining option was surgery to cauterize my pelvic nerve endings — eliminating sensation in that region of my body entirely — I made the decision to walk away. I was young, and I did not accept that losing sensation for the rest of my life was my only path forward.
For two years I had avoided seeing a dermatologist because I was told by my OB-GYN on more than one account that dermatologists would not perform pelvic exams. I trusted that advice. But this time, I went anyway.
Extensive allergy testing and evaluation led to a diagnosis of vulvar lichen sclerosis, a rare autoimmune skin condition. From there, I pursued every option I could find. I traveled to Bogotá, Colombia to explore additional support. There, the doctor presented me with a complex blood-cleansing protocol that would have required filling prescriptions in Europe and spending a summer in Colombia undergoing hospital-based treatments multiple times a week. I was going to move there with my mother and three young children for a summer to do this as my husband, Rusty, would need to stay behind and work as to not lose his job. I returned home overwhelmed but hopeful.
Back in Utah I saw my dermatologist for another appointment and he said something I will never forget: “We can manage this with long-term steroids, or you can make a lifestyle shift that will be harder — but more permanent in its ability to heal.”
I chose the harder path.
I committed fully. I went completely plant-based for two and a half years. I removed inflammatory triggers from my daily life, including foods containing antibiotics and hormones which felt like everything. I changed my clothing fabrics. I addressed environmental exposures. I supported my nervous system. For years I had to ice my pelvic region every night numbing it enough just to sleep, often waking once or twice to replace the ice as symptoms flared through the night.
Within days of removing inflammatory triggers, the pain began to subside. Within weeks, the cyclical blistering calmed. For the first time in years, I felt relief.
That season permanently shaped my belief that the body is intelligent. That root causes matter. And that when you create the right internal environment — physically, mentally, and spiritually — the body can respond in extraordinary ways.

Long before that chapter, I had already been navigating my body in different ways.
I was diagnosed with PCOS and endometriosis at thirteen years old. From that diagnosis until I was 25, I underwent eighteen surgeries to remove cysts and thin my endometrial lining. For years, I was told these conditions were permanent, something to manage, not something to resolve. I was also told I would likely never have children without extensive fertility intervention.
Eventually, I began to question that narrative.
As I deepened my understanding of autoimmune patterns, inflammation, hormonal regulation, and internal terrain, I stopped viewing those diagnoses as life sentences. Through holistic approaches addressing inflammation, nervous system stress, environmental triggers, and cellular alignment, my symptoms gradually resolved.
Today, I am the mother of six children.
Not through aggressive fertility treatments. Not through force. But through alignment.
Motherhood has been both my greatest mirror and my greatest teacher. It remains one of the clearest confirmations in my life that the body is not designed to betray us. It is designed to respond when given the right conditions.
In 2025, our family faced another defining moment. Rusty was diagnosed with atypical mixed desmoplastic melanoma, stage 3. The diagnosis felt like both a shock and in an odd way, like we were being summoned. For years, we had dreamed of opening a wellness center. Suddenly, the dream no longer felt optional, it felt urgent.
The night we received his diagnosis, I got to work.
I immersed myself in understanding his cancer at a cellular level — how it manifests, mutates, and progresses. I spent over a hundred hours over 10 days researching and built an extensive and disciplined protocol. It integrated hyperbaric oxygen therapy, holistic approaches, medicinal mushrooms, targeted supplementation, metabolic support strategies, methylene blue, ivermectin, albendazole, structured detoxification, and nervous system regulation. It was paired with daily discipline, structured nutrition, and prayer.
Rusty committed fully.
For nearly a month leading up to surgery, he implemented the protocol consistently, including hyperbaric therapy every single day. Amidst all the research, we came across the Hope 4 Cancer institute in Mexico where they offer one month of intensive holistic therapies and treatments. We were prepared to invest nearly $60k to attend in July and all they needed to finalize our plans and stay were his final medical reports.
Rusty’s surgery day finally arrived. The procedure involved removing a significant portion of tissue from the back of his thigh, along with two sentinel lymph nodes from his groin. We were told we would receive final staging within 24 to 48 hours post-operation.
Instead, we waited.
Thirty-one days passed before we received final pathology results. Because the pathologist looking at his samples wasn’t sure at what he was looking at, his tissue samples and lymph nodes were sent to two different institutions and examined by over half a dozen pathologists. The cellular presentation differed significantly from the initial
biopsy. The original diagnosis had been confirmed by the head dermatopathologist at the University of Utah along with four additional colleagues — five expert eyes confirming stage 3 melanoma.
What unfolded between diagnosis and surgery was not a misreading.
It was a transformation.
When his oncologist finally called to deliver the long awaited news she opened with “I’m in awe…” we were told there was no trace of cancer remaining in the surgical pathology.
We were floored. Grateful beyond words.
That night, I prayed in gratitude and promised God that I would never waste a miracle.
That promise became fuel. It was the clarity and conviction we needed to move forward with building Rest Recovery Wellness, not as a business idea, but as a responsibility.
Today, Rest Recovery Wellness Logan is actively being built and led by Rusty and me. As licensed operators and co-owners of our location, we are creating a physiology-forward wellness center designed to support recovery at the cellular and nervous system level.
Rest Recovery Wellness Logan offers hyperbaric oxygen therapy, cold plunge, red light therapy, sauna, halo therapy, float therapy, PEMF, compression recovery, and sound immersion. Our focus is not trends. It is measurable capacity — oxygenation, circulation, inflammation reduction, nervous system recalibration, and structured recovery.
We are building a space where proactive wellness becomes consistent and accessible — a place where people strengthen their capacity before crisis forces change.
I am also a sound practitioner and breathworker because healing is not only biochemical. It is neurological and energetic. The nervous system must feel safe for the body to repair. Sound immersion allows clients to shift out of chronic stress states and into restoration.
The common thread in everything I do is simple: helping people understand that their bodies are not broken. They are overloaded, inflamed, depleted, or misdirected — and with the right support, the body has an extraordinary capacity to respond.
If you are here, you are likely ready to take ownership of your health in a deeper way.
And I am here to walk with you in that.
