Episode 177 - Hydrate! The Rise of IV Therapy in Beauty and Health with Founders Amy Dickerson and Katie Gillberg of Hydrate IV Bar
In this special episode of the Nirvana Sisters Podcast, we had the pleasure of welcoming Amy Dickerson and Katie Gillberg from Hydrate IV Bar. We were thrilled to dive into the world of IV therapy, a topic we haven't explored before but are both passionate about. We do a deep dive into this treatment which is gaining popularity.
We discuss the benefits of IV therapy, emphasizing its role in wellness, recovery, and beauty - especially in today's world where many people are not getting the nutrients they need from food alone. We also touched on the various treatments offered at Hydrate IV Bar, including the popular "Katie cocktail," which combines multiple nutrients for a comprehensive boost. We touch on NAD and all the benefits, especially as you age. The discussion included safety precautions, the importance of licensed professionals administering treatments, and how Hydrate IV Bar collaborates with medical practitioners to ensure clients receive the best care.
As the episode wrapped up, we engaged in a rapid-fire round of wellness and beauty hacks, sharing personal tips and insights. Super informative and inspiring episode showcasing the potential of IV therapy in enhancing our health and well-being.
About Amy Gillberg and Katie Dickerson:
Amy Dickerson is a serial entrepreneur involved in the wellness and beauty industry for over 25 years. She is the Managing Partner of Hydrate IV Bar and a partner or investor in numerous other growing companies. She has served on many community boards of directors and her businesses have been Featured by Associated Skin Care Professionals (ASCP), Huffington Post, Brides Magazine, and ABC's GMA News. In 2020 Amy and her business partner Katie Gillberg expanded Hydrate IV Bar’s market share and brand recognition by franchising nationwide. They are honored to work in the wellness & beauty industry alongside the other professionals in their spas and mentor others to start their own rewarding and lucrative careers.
Katie Gillberg is a born and bred Denver native, with family roots extending through Colorado for five generations. For college, she veered off the family path by enrolling in Arizona State University — earning a business and communications degree by 2010.Her lifelong passion for health and wellness led her to a post-grad career in medical sales, while also living a lifelong dream as a Denver Broncos Cheerleader for two seasons, 11-12 and 12-13. During that time, she traveled to Las Vegas for work conferences often. And, that’s when she was first introduced to IV therapy.
In 2016, Hydrate IV Bar’s first location opened in Denver’s Bonnie Brae neighborhood, with a menu of services for illness, wellness, recovery, and beauty. Hydrate IV Bar caught on quickly in the Denver market, largely set apart for its ability to provide services in a restorative, spa-like atmosphere while still maintaining the professionalism of a more traditional clinic. In 2020, Hydrate IV Bar became a franchisor and now has 20 spas open throughout Colorado, Arizona, Texas and Utah with future developments in place nationwide. When Katie isn’t working, she’s still always on the go. She serves on the board of the Cherry Creek Chamber, the Highland Merchants Association and the Butterfly Children Fund. In her spare time, she spends time with her husband and two children, travels, stays active, and enjoys the Colorado outdoors — snowboarding in the winter, camping in the summer and always getting an IV in between.
