Liz Reece
Executive Director
Elizabeth Reece, RN, BSN, and Executive Director, comes from a tiny city but her large personality and experience is a perfect fit for the big dreams of Ballen Medical and Wellness/ Colorado Recovery Infusion Center. As an eight-year-old girl in her small town, Blair, Oklahoma, Liz dreamed of becoming a nurse. Liz has centered her entire life and career around helping others and spreading love and compassion to everyone. Liz holds a bachelor’s in Biology and Public Health (Armstrong State University) as well as a Bachelor of Science and Nursing (University of Oklahoma) which has enabled her to magnify her potential for helping others. “Live in Love” is her life motto and she fully believes you cannot know what someone is going through unless you walk in their shoes.
Liz spent the last ten years working as a nurse in a hospital ICU. She has always felt strongly about working in a field that she is passionate about and truly believes in the benefit it can provide the world. Constantly continuing her education and furthering her development in the healthcare industry, Liz became fascinated with the power behind holistic and natural treatments. Liz surrendered to the universe and as the stars aligned, she found Ballen Medical and Wellness/Colorado Recovery and Infusion Center. Liz is excited to use her nursing and administrative skills to help lead her team and guide patients in finding individualize and holistic treatment for their specific needs.
Liz is a mother of seven children, two dogs, two cats, and a lizard. She enjoys snowboarding and backpacking in the great wilderness as well as exposing her kids to the experience of nature at its finest. In the same vein that Liz approaches her career, she also approaches motherhood; she loves being a mom and considers it the most powerful part of who she is, who she wants to be, and how she grows as an individual. When Liz is not running a business or taking care of her clan, she can be found by herself at a restaurant enjoying the peace of solitude.

Heather Beggs
Patient Care Coordinator
Hannah came to us after changing careers from massage therapy. She spent many years working in massage therapy, helping cancer patients with her healing hands. She grew up in Steamboat Springs, Colorado, and excelled in massage with a degree from Colorado School of Healing Arts. She had spent many years in massage therapy when she knew it was time to change her path. A cup of coffee in the morning starts her day, and she strives to live by the principle “be kind.” In her free time, you will find Hannah camping, cooking, baking, and spending time with her two furry friends Rocky and Kaya. Hannah lives by the principle of “be kind,” and she strives to make other lives better hoping that the chain of kindness is passed on. Hannah recovers her spirit in the outdoors, but her best recovery is how quickly she can fall asleep.
