Our Founders Serving Greater Cincinnati
Brad Howard, RN, BSN
Founder & Owner | Registered Nurse | 10+ Years of Healthcare Experience | Air Force Veteran
Brad is the founder and owner of Retreat Mobile IV Hydration. He served 10 years in the U.S. Air Force, then transitioned into healthcare and has spent 10+ years caring for patients as a registered nurse.
Brad started Retreat Mobile IV Hydration to offer a safer, more professional alternative to traditional “drip bars”—bringing medically directed IV therapy to clients in a comfortable, spa-like setting, with clear protocols and a strong focus on safety.
He’s passionate about evidence-based nutritional support and believes IV therapy should be convenient, approachable, and tailored to each person’s wellness goals. Brad is pursuing IV Nurse Certification and is a member of the American IV Association.
When he’s not delivering IV therapy, Brad works as a registered nurse at a local hospital, staying connected to frontline patient care and continuing to grow his clinical expertise.
Outside of work, Brad enjoys hiking, camping, and travel—time outdoors that helps shape Retreat Mobile IV Hydration’s mission of helping clients feel better and get back to living fully.
Debbie Bernges, RN, MSN
Co-Owner | Master's in Nursing | 30+ Years of Healthcare Experience
Debbie is co-owner of Retreat Mobile IV Hydration and brings 30+ years of nursing experience to the practice. Her background includes medical-surgical and gerontology nursing, and she holds a Master’s in Nursing (MSN) along with multiple clinical certifications.
Debbie’s approach blends deep clinical experience with a practical, whole-person view of wellness. She’s committed to helping clients feel supported, informed, and comfortable throughout every visit.
She’s currently pursuing her Nurse Practitioner certification with a focus in functional health, which will expand her clinical role at Retreat Mobile IV Hydration and allow her to provide broader medical oversight alongside Brad.
When she’s not delivering IV therapy, Debbie also works as a registered nurse at a local hospital, staying connected to patient care and continuing to sharpen her skills.
Outside the clinic, Debbie enjoys hiking and travel and believes true wellness comes from supporting the body’s natural processes—an outlook that guides how Retreat Mobile IV Hydration cares for clients.
