At Thrive, we believe true wellness begins from within—and no one embodies this philosophy more than our founder, Dawn Crawford. A dedicated registered nurse with over two decades of experience, Dawn began her career in Critical Care Neurosurgery at Calgary's Foothills Medical Centre, where she contributed to groundbreaking brain drug studies for over 16 years.

 

Her pursuit of excellence led her to specialize in venous health and cosmetic procedures, working alongside Canada’s first physician to perform Ultrasound-Guided Foam Sclerosant Ablation. Building on this foundation, Dawn launched Recovery Care Ltd. in 2003 to provide post-operative nursing care, followed by Olive Branch Skin Therapy in 2004, where she combined medical precision with holistic skincare.

 

At Thrive, Dawn brings this same passion and depth of expertise to nutritional IV therapy—a natural extension of her commitment to holistic health, wellness, and beauty. Her goal is to help clients restore balance, boost vitality, and support their overall well-being through personalized IV drips that nourish the body at a cellular level. With Thrive, Dawn continues to redefine what it means to care for the whole person—from recovery to rejuvenation.
