Let us help you become pain and worry-free.
When it comes to your and your family’s health, we’re in this together.
You don’t have to live in pain, tackle infertility struggles, be ok with your elbow hurting with each golf swing, or worry about your baby alone. Our patients always say that Well Set feels like a family (with a lot of expertise about health and wellness).
We promise to give you the care and outcomes you deserve.
Do you feel like your providers dismiss your concerns or make your experience about what they think more than what you do? Have you seen a chiropractor who told you to come in multiple times per week for months to feel better? Have you taken medicine, had surgery, and yet still haven’t gotten the results you hoped to? We hear you.

Dr. Jace Buzek, DC, CCSP, CACCP.
Founder of Well Set and Chiropractor
jbuzek@wellsetdenver.com
Dr. B was born and raised in Greensburg, Pennsylvania (about 45 miles east of Pittsburgh – what’s up Yinzers!?). While this is what he tells people, it’s not exactly true. He spent much of his early life traveling in the back of his dad’s conversion van to play hockey throughout the US and Canada. In high school, Dr. B played Junior A hockey in the USHL. He moved away from his family and friends to pursue his dream of playing college hockey. As a Junior hockey player, Dr. B (a self-proclaimed skinny, fast kid) learned how important chiropractic was to keep him skating and playing at a high-level.
Dr. B went on to play Division 1 college hockey, and after a difficult decision to end his hockey career, he was accepted to Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa.
After graduating chiropractic school in February of 2010, Dr. B started his own practice in his hometown of Greensburg, Pennsylvania. In 2012, he moved from Pennsylvania to Denver and saw the sun for the first time ever. For his first 5 years in Denver, Dr. B built a successful practice at Washington Park Chiropractic. He started Well Set in 2017.
Some might say that Dr. B is obsessed with continuing education. He holds post-graduate certifications in Sports (CCSP), Pediatrics (CACCP), and Prenatal (Webster) chiropractic.
We won’t bore you with all of the self-promoting details, but these certifications are pretty cool (and seriously advanced), and it’s rare (i.e., Dr. B is only 1 of two chiropractors in Denver with this line up) that a chiropractor would have them all. So, long story short, be sure to check them out at the links provided.
Dr. B uses a variety of soft tissue techniques and holds numerous certifications in these methods (e.g., IASTM/Graston, FAKTR, Rocktape, Functional Movement Taping).
When it comes to helping out his patients, Dr. B is especially good with active families (pregnant moms, dads, infants, and youth athletes), Weekend Warriors, and professional and college athletes. Dr. B has been a University team chiropractor in the past, and for the last few years he’s worked with NFL players and combine athletes to get them ready to perform at their highest potential.
With all joking aside, Dr. B’s goal with all of his patients is to get them feeling better and doing more within their first few visits. He wants to keep his patients active and to get them to maintenance care as soon as possible. To do this, he loves working with other medical providers to ensure that everyone is getting treatments that target the cause(s) of their discomfort by following a path of least invasiveness.
Rapid Fire Q&A:
What have been your career highlights (so far)?
Every time a pregnant mom’s breech baby flips after using the Webster Technique, finding early cancer and serious health issues and getting patients to the medical professionals they need to see as early as possible, adjusting infants for the first time, and watching some patients win a Super Bowl.
What’s your goal in life?
Be a supportive, fun-loving husband, dad, colleague, and friend. Play more golf. Change the way people (and the medical profession) think about their chiropractors … unless you love us because that’s rad, and I don’t want to change that.

Dr. Chase Stanker, DC, TPI.
Chiropractor
chase@wellsetdenver.com
Dr. Chase was born and raised just outside of Denver, CO. Growing up he was very active in sports playing football, baseball and basketball. As a kid he specifically remembers loving the TV show House, which piqued his interest in the human body and medicine. Throughout his middle school and high school years he loved his science classes, and specifically remembers enjoying the dissection labs. It was these experiences that led him to pursue healthcare in undergrad.
In his undergraduate years, he went to The University of Colorado Boulder (Sko Buffs!) where he majored in integrative physiology. He focused on exercise science, human biomechanics, and anatomy and was exposed to different specialties of medicine. He formed a passion for physical medicine because he agreed that not all physical ailments need to be treated using prescription drugs or surgeries.
After finishing his undergraduate degree, he went on to receive his Doctorate of Chiropractic at Palmer College of Chiropractic in Port Orange, Florida. At Palmer Florida, he found another passion, in the form of golf. Playing golf year round and enjoying the Florida sunshine was a great change from the Rocky Mountains of Colorado, but after enduring 2 hurricanes, Dr. Chase decided it was time to move back west.
In his professional career, Dr. Chase has a wide array of experience ranging from spinal biomechanical correction techniques, to wellness and preventative chiropractic. He is level 1 Titleist Performance Institute certified, Webster (prenatal) certified, and fluent in flexion/distraction and extremity adjusting. Dr. Chase has treated patients throughout the whole life span—from infants to geriatric patients.

Acupuncturist, Holistic Medicine Practitioner, and Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor
katie@truenorthdenver.com
Katie is a Colorado Native raised in Evergreen (Aka E-Town to the locals). Whoop! She spent most of her childhood outdoors with her active brothers and father - you could say she knows how to hang with the boys. Every winter you'd find her on the slopes of Vail where her parents would ship her every weekend (her Dad was one of the first ski instructors at Vail)! She loves the mountains of Colorado with all her heart.
Fast forward to undergrad, when Katie received a double major in Speech Pathology and Audiology and then after college when Katie found a passion for working with children and particularly those with special needs.
Fast forward a bit more, when Katie became inspired for a bright new path after finding that Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine helped her with her life long struggles with digestion. She had finally found a medicine that listened and actively made her feel better without the use of pharmaceuticals ... what a concept! Katie took a big leap and went back to school. She graduated from the Colorado School of Traditional Chinese Medicine in 2012 after completing an intense three-year accelerated program that included 2,850 hours of education with 1,000 hours of clinical experience.
Katie specializes in women's health, nutrition, fertility, pregnancy, postpartum, pediatrics, mental health, internal medicine and digestion.

amandamillercmt@gmail.com
Amanda grew up outside of Philadelphia in Northampton, Pennsylvania (really close to Allentown – Billy Joel fans know). She grew up spending a lot of time with her family - always spending time together, cooking, laughing, and traveling. She was active in sports and dance and spent a lot of time outside around her rural childhood home.
After studying psychology at Moravian College and massage therapy at Health Options Institute, it was that same love of the outdoors that brought Amanda from Pennsylvania to Colorado. The 300+ days of sunshine each year was appealing, too. After taking a little time to settle into Denver life, Amanda decided to go back to school at the Boulder College of Massage Therapy. While attending BCMT, she was drawn to prenatal work and Thai massage and loved the diversity it added to her practice. Upon graduating, she continued her studies in prenatal and post-partum work and went on to study Thai massage, yoga, and eastern healing arts in Chiang Mai, Thailand.
Amanda has worked at massage therapy centers and high-end day spas, but really found her happy place when she worked at a chiropractic office, where she first met Dr.B. After almost 9 years at that office, she got an amazing opportunity to move to Aruba that she couldn’t pass up. She took a little break from doing massage full time and lived out her Tom Cruise “cocktails and dreams” moment by bartending in paradise (she makes a mean Bloody Mary, BTW). After two years of crafting boat drinks and fun in the sun, she came back to Denver and found her new home at Well Set.
Amanda has an east meets west approach to bodywork and integrates the two styles to ensure her clients get the best of both worlds. She has extensive experience in prenatal and post-partum work, along with non-invasive induction massage (which through pressure point work, aromatherapy, and traditional massage techniques can help safely and naturally jumpstart labor for expectant, full-term mommas-to-be). She loves practicing Thai massage (it’s like having yoga done to you!), and has a real passion for TMJ work, which is beneficial to everyone, but especially those who clench their jaw or suffer from headaches. Whether she’s teaching infant massage lessons to new parents and families or working on members of the active Denver community, Amanda is dedicated to her craft and puts her heart into her work.
Rapid Fire Q&A:
What have been your career highlights (so far)?
Every time I’m able to safely, naturally, and non-invasively jumpstart an expectant mother’s labor (the human body is so incredible!), preventing invasive surgical procedures through TMJ massage work, and teaching new parents and families how to love on and help their little ones through infant massage - it’s never too early to introduce massage, and teaching infant massage lessons is definitely the sweetest and most adorable part of my job.

Dr. Rachel Blessing, PT, DPT
Physical Therapist
rachel@wellsetdenver.com
Rachel was raised in Connecticut in an artistic family and developed a love of the performing arts early on with trips to see Broadway musicals in the city. She tried her hand at soccer at one point but chose to retire her cleats around age five once the ball made repeated contact with her face. It was clear from that moment on that dance would be her chosen form of physical expression!
Rachel went on to study Dance Performance & Choreography in college, where she developed a love of kinesiology and anatomy through her coursework. Post-grad, she declared that she “had no interest in going back to school, ever”, began performing with a Boston-based professional dance company, and then promptly enrolled in the Doctoral program for PT at the University of Massachusetts – Lowell.
Throughout her time in graduate school, Rachel was fortunate to work as a student in a variety of settings from an acute care hospital to treating members of the Boston Ballet. Upon graduation she began her career in New York City treating orthopedic and pelvic health conditions.
After refusing to continue living in a concrete jungle with no access to skiing, Rachel’s partner convinced her to move across the country to Denver mid-pandemic (he can now be found exclusively on the slopes). Rachel was able to further expand her depth of knowledge by working at a pelvic health-specific clinic prior to starting at Well Set.
Rachel believes in tailoring her practice of care to each individual based on their unique anatomy, goals, and lifestyle. She loves to treat a variety of conditions but is especially passionate about helping new parents navigate the joys and challenges of postpartum life.
When she’s not in the clinic, you can find Rachel running in a park, trying out a new restaurant, or marveling at how the snow melts so quickly here.

Emily Sealy, Dipl.OM.,L.Ac.
Acupuncturist, Holistic Medicine Practitioner, and Cert. Reiki Master
Growing up in Lakewood, Colorado, Emily considers it to be her home, even though she isn't a "true native." Struggling with a chronic illness that went undiagnosed for years, she embarked on a journey to find alternative ways to manage her symptoms. This led her to discover the power of holistic medicine, such as Reiki, acupuncture, and herbology, which helped to improve her quality of life significantly. This inspired her to deepen her knowledge so she could help others in their healing journeys.
With over 13 years of experience in energy work, Emily is a trained Usui and Karuna Reiki Master and a licensed acupuncturist in the state of Colorado. She holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Integrative Healthcare from the Metropolitan State University of Denver, which provided a foundation in both biomedical science and alternative and complementary medicine. She also graduated from the Colorado School of Traditional Chinese Medicine with a dual focus on acupuncture and Chinese herbalism and is nationally recognized as a Diplomate of Oriental Medicine by the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM).
Emily specializes in treating emotional issues, such as stress, depression, anxiety, PTSD, and digestive problems, as well as helping manage chronic illness for overall wellness. By combining Reiki with acupuncture, she often offers deeper relaxation and healing.
Emily enjoys reading, playing with her cat, traveling, and spending time in nature. She is passionate about music and has a deep love for the beauty and peace that nature provides.

Collin Wentz Brown, LMT
Massage Therapist
Collin was born in Dallas, TX and grew up in Reno, NV after moving there at a young age. He quickly grew fond of the outdoors being that close to Lake Tahoe and would spend as much time there as his hockey schedule would allow. He had his first stint in Colorado to attend CU Boulder, Go Buffs! After college, he lived in San Francisco for a while where he absolutely loved walking uphill both ways to work and living by the ocean, cold plunge anyone? He then found his way back to colorful Colorado and stayed for all the obvious reasons.
Collin lives an active lifestyle pursuing his interests in skiing, golf, hockey, hiking, biking, rock climbing, volleyball, the list goes on... Years ago, this led him to a debilitating back injury. His journey through the healing process spending many hours with massage, physical therapy and chiropractic care made him realize that space is where he belonged. He became a massage therapist to be on the other side of that healing process and help people manage chronic pain, rehab through injuries, and build confidence in their body.

Lisa Boyer, LMT
Massage Therapist
Lisa spent most of her youth in Minnesota, both Forest Lake (just north of the Twin Cities) and Moorhead (right next to Fargo, ND). She moved to Colorado in 2002 trading lakes for mountains. She enjoys live music, listening to records, traveling to fun places, and delicious food and wine. She also spends some free time sewing an assortment of custom bags, wallets, eye masks, and so much more.
Lisa held several leadership roles for a few big-name companies before realizing that these were not the jobs for her. There was no fulfillment in these positions, and Lisa knew she had a higher calling. She wanted to do something with her hands, something that would help others. She enrolled at Colorado School of Healing Arts in April of 2014 where her main focus of study was Sports Massage.
Sports Massage has introduced some amazing opportunities for Lisa. In addition to working on world class runners and cyclists in more than one of the many races we hold in Colorado, Lisa has done extensive work on MMA fighters, professional soccer players, and internationally renowned rugby players. At one point, she got to see the New Zealand Women’s Olympic rugby team receive gold medals only a few months after she had the honor to work with them. She also got to be on the field at Empower field during a "Haka" performed by the New Zealand national rugby league team before they faced England in an exhibition match.
Lisa’s approach to massage varies with individuals but is always empathetic in nature. She communicates with her patients to first understand what they are feeling; she takes that information and inserts her own intuitions and extensive knowledge of muscle connectivity. She helps find root causes of pain that patients may be unable to identify. She works with patients in putting together effective strategies to helping them with a proper treatment plan toward regular wellness. She helps her clients understand the importance of self-care, and more importantly of consistent body work. Her main goal has always been to help people maintain their masterpieces.
Lisa has been to every hemisphere, and every place she has been holds great stories. She has been to Oktoberfest in Munich, and she has seen The Duomo of Florence. But she has also traveled to such unique places as Asbyrgi Canyon outside of Husavik, Iceland and to Santa Maria del Mar near Havana, Cuba and to Ranomafana National Rainforest in Madagascar.
