meet the team

Bethany is Dr. Trapper's wife and the Director of Thriving, a position that gives her the opportunity to help the community flourish in a joyous way. Through coaching, educating, and sharing information on personal growth and Chiropractic, she inspires people to follow their bliss and truly experience life as it was meant to be lived.  Bethany discovered Chiropractic when she was 23 after suffering debilitating migraines, lack of energy, and back pain. After getting adjusted she realized life could be soooooo much better. Along with her work at Thrive, for the last 9 years she also runs the Durango Women's Business Idea Exchange, has been on the leadership board of the Durango Growth Organization for the last 8 years as well as teach for a variety of groups including the Small Business Development Center, the Durango Chamber of Commerce and the Women's Resource Center. Most recently Bethany is excited to be chosen as the Executive Curator for TEDxDurango which will happen in Durango in early November 2019.

When Bethany is not busy helping people Thrive, she loves to spend quality time with her husband and two boys, as well as writing, adventure motorcycling, hiking, and laughing every chance she gets.
