I THRIVE was originally inspired in 2014 after creator Heather Curtis MD witnessed the difficulties that survivors of trauma often experience being believed and appropriately supported throughout the police reporting process.

In 2016 SLCPD victim's advocate director Wendy Isom told I THRIVE's creator that it would be grassroots efforts that would change rape litigation in the United States. I THRIVE answered the call. 

I THRIVE's creator worked with various contributors, collaborators and inspirations over the course of her 4 year medical residency in psychiatry to develop the skills and platform necessary to launch this website project aimed at providing free resources for healing to survivors of sexual violence and trauma.

 In 2019, I THRIVE launched its 501c3 nonprofit platform as featured on ABC4 News Utah in April of that year to advertise our services and Kintsukuroi photo project. 

Throughout Feb 2019 - present day I THRIVE has functioned as a 501c3 nonprofit organization offering various services, donations, therapeutic healing and personal development scholarships, advocacy, healing resources, interventions, art, and activism projects, platforms, and efforts aimed to support survivors of sexual violence, mental illness, and trauma in Utah and beyond. 

I THRIVE began more seriously investigating psychedelic assisted therapy and the psychedelic sciences in 2020. I THRIVE's creator, Heather Curtis MD, sought to extend resources for survivors to include information regarding these prospective modes of healing as effective treatments for PTSD and associated trauma based syndromes and subtypes of mental illness.

In January 2021 we launched our 'Looking Glass Project.' Designed to expose harms in the Utah mental health and psychedelic science community, this effort rapidly evolved into a local and national whistleblowing effort once we uncovered an extremis of harms not previously expected. In summer 2022 we brought our project and our story to national leaders in the psychedelic sciences at the California Institute of Integral Studies Certificate Program in Psychedelic Therapy and Research seeking assistance to expose these harms and add protections to the evolving psychedelic medicine movement to prevent recurrence of such harms. 

Beginning in 2022, I THRIVE more directly transitioned its area of focus to protecting survivors of sexual violence, trauma, and mental illness within the evolving psychedelic sciences. I THRIVE worked continuously with the Utah Division of Professional Licensing (DOPL), local police, and FBI to ensure the safety of patients in Utah 2022-2024, increasing our efforts in 2023 prior to the tragic harms that transpired.

​Throughout 2022-2025 I THRIVE continued to work with our local regulatory bodies and DOPL to support the safety of survivors of trauma within the psychedelic sciences and the Utah mental heath community.

In 2024 we dedicated significant effort to building our website platform to include additional resources, links, offerings, and to add upon our art, advocacy, and activism portfolio.

• We published our 'Looking Glass Project & Discussion' pages.

• We added our 'Pledge for Peace & Safety' to support our stand for Peace, Campus, Community, and Psychedelic Safety.

• We committed to 'Nonviolent Resistance' and 'Civil Disobedience,' standing for survivor rights, educating our community and our followers on the unjust weaponization of law and psychiatry in Utah, and our stand for human, civil, and survivor rights.

• We shined a light on ethical violations occurring in our community and committed to a path dedicated to 'Changing the Culture.'

• We built our social media platform @The_Kintsukuroi_Project. and loaded it with healing resources, interventions, and updates just in time to extend our support and outreach to start off our 2024 Yearly Art & Giving Series.

2024-2026 we focussed on bolstering our resources to build our virtual platform, website and social media offering resources and interventions to survivor of violence, mental illness, and trauma. I THRIVE's founder provided pro-bono consultative and educational mental health support in conjunction with Luminous Psychiatry LLC. 

2025-2026, I THRIVE founder focused on veteran, first responder, and government agents after visiting Pearl Harbor and witnessing her great grand-uncle Corporal Clyde Brown and his peers added to the wall of heroes.
