Renee’s mission in opening Recharge was  to bring professional level recovery, mindset, and performance to everyone to help people stay healthy and reach their full potential.

With gratitude for her years in Bend, and the many people she and her team felt privileged to serve, Renee felt the pull of a new chapter. As a result, Renee partnered with Shauna Erickson to create ILLIMITÉE with a vision for providing targeted support, and building an inclusive community of both amateur and professional sport enthusiasts around the world.
