When I traded my bomb suit for a business suit, I never imagined the path would lead here—Mind Spa being named a 2025 Colorado Companies to Watch winner. As a former Army Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) technician, I’ve faced my share of high-stakes challenges. But nothing compares to the mission we’ve taken on at Mind Spa: transforming mental health care for veterans, first responders, and anyone battling invisible wounds.
Our story is deeply personal. After returning from two combat tours in Afghanistan, I found myself struggling with the same mental health challenges so many of my brothers and sisters in arms face—PTSD, traumatic brain injury, depression, and anxiety. The transition to civilian life was rocky, but it sparked a passion in me to change the way mental health is treated in this country. That’s why we built Mind Spa: to offer cutting-edge therapies like Ketamine Infusion, Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS), and Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy, all backed by science and delivered with compassion.
Winning Colorado Companies to Watch isn’t just about recognition—it’s validation of our mission and the impact we’re making. This award celebrates second-stage companies driving innovation and economic growth in Colorado, and it’s an honor to stand alongside other trailblazers who are shaping the future of our state. For us, it means more opportunities to expand access to life-changing care, reach more people in need, and continue developing programs that address the root causes of mental health conditions, not just the symptoms.
The benefits of this recognition are already being felt. We’re connecting with a powerful network of business leaders, healthcare innovators, and community partners who share our commitment to making a difference. The exposure and support from Colorado Companies to Watch will help us attract new talent, forge strategic partnerships, and amplify our voice as advocates for better mental health solutions. Most importantly, it gives our patients and their families hope—proof that what we’re doing matters.
To everyone who has supported Mind Spa—our dedicated team, our brave patients, and the Colorado community, thank you. This award is a milestone, not a finish line. We’re just getting started on our mission to revolutionize mental health care. If you or someone you love is struggling, know that you’re not alone. There’s a community here ready to help, and together, we can build a future where healing is possible for all.
