WENTACHEE – Through her two decades of nursing experience Aura Brazill saw a need for hydration and wellness care outside of the confines of the hospital.
That prompted her to start her own IV hydration and wellness clinic, IV Pro Mobile, last year.
"I have been either an ICU, ED, or Flight Nurse for the last 20 years and saw a need for hydration and wellness outside the hospital," Brazill said.
"Hydration with added minerals, vitamins, amino acids, and antioxidants is extremely beneficial for health and overall wellness," she said. "It also aids in recovery, immune support, and healing. I saw a need for more pre-hospital wellness and knew the benefits would keep many people out of the emergency department."
Being able to take her dream and make it a reality has been a huge positive for Brazill. However, her favorite part of operating IV Pro is her clients.
"As an ICU nurse for most of my career, as well as Emergency RN and Flight nurse, the majority of my shifts are the worst days of many people's lives," she said. "IV Pro targets people who are health and wellness-focused, who want to take care of themselves in a variety of circumstances. I am not meeting them on their worst day. It's often a day of celebration."
Helping people feel, look and perform their best, has been the greatest part of owning and operating IV Pro, she said.
"Even while assisting with illness recovery, my clients feel so much better after their infusions that it is a great feeling to have," she said.
IV Pro Mobile services include migraine relief, immune support, energy improvement, beauty infusions, and simple hydration infusions. Brazill also offers high-dose vitamin C and NAD+ infusions along with GLP-1 weight loss support.
Brazill has two ways of serving her clients. She makes home, business, or hotel visits where she can complete client infusions in the comfort of their own surroundings. She also has a mobile travel clinic with a spa-like environment, which she uses for larger events such as bachelor/bachelorette parties, golf events, marathons, bike races, weddings, and concerts.
Brazill finds it essential to offer these services for many reasons, including that there are not enough pre-hospital wellness options to combat things like migraines, nausea and vomiting, overindulgence of alcohol, recovery from illness, detoxification from drugs and alcohol, immune support before and after a trip, hydration replacement before/after sporting events or outdoor activities in the heat, she said.
"My services save clients the suffering from symptoms such as nausea, body aches, migraines, hangovers, immune suppression issues, and more," she said. "My services also provide a much cheaper option than ending up with an ER bill or losing a day or more to recovery time."
Brazill likes that she can ease her clients' symptoms and suffering. Two clients' stories stand out for her as times she felt like she made a difference for them.
"I have a migraine client who has seen significant improvement in her quality of life and a decreased need to take the medications causing her negative side effects," she said.
"I also had a client going through detox with elevated liver enzymes and complicated medical issues who with infusions of vitamins, minerals, and glutathione along with NAD+ infusions, detoxed well and healed the struggling liver," she said. "This client's medical issues reversed quickly, and overall wellness improved."
Brazill is required to be an RN to administer IV fluids along with the additives and medications. She is a Registered Nurse with a Bachelor's degree, a Certified RN for Critical Care, and current in emergency response certifications.
Brazill also has a medical supervisor who has reviewed her protocols, and they work together when adding new services to IV Pro.
IV Pro is based in Wenatchee but serves all of Washington. Brazill will travel up to 30 miles without a travel fee.
In the future, she hopes to continue building IV Pro so that eventually, there will be more IV trailers available, experienced nurses on staff for large events, and a full-time ability to serve her community and beyond.
