Founders

I'm a Family Nurse practitioner. I primarily specialize in adult medicine. My focus is health promotion rather than disease management. Lifestyle modification rather than medications. My background is alternative health and sports medicine. I grew up in Japan immersed in holistic medicine and was a personal trainer before transitioning into a nursing career. I worked over 15 years as a nurse before becoming a Nurse Practitioner. I provide fee for service/concierge medicine tailored to the needs of my patients; phone consults, telemedicine, and in office appointments. I look forward to working with you on your health goals.

I am the Executive Assistant Extraordinaire here at Restorative Health. You may spot me around the office from time to time, but I’m mostly your friendly neighborhood behind-the-scenes gal. You’ll likely talk to me on the phone more than see me in person and that’s perfectly okay, because I love supporting our patients however I can: phone call, text, email, carrier pigeon… you name it.

My goal is to help create a safe and welcoming environment, whether that means having meaningful conversations that help you feel heard and supported, or walking you through the ins and outs of what we do here. I’m passionate about making sure patients feel comfortable, informed, and confident every step of the way.

I’m also the organizational mastermind behind much of our structure, helping ensure we stay up to date with services, refining systems, building protocols, and keeping the wheels turning so our patients receive a consistent, high-quality experience. Think color-coded sticky notes, detailed checklists, and just enough caffeine to power a small city.

In addition, I handle the social media presence for our Facebook and Instagram pages, so if you follow us and enjoy the educational content, graphics, and updates, that’s me behind the scenes! Shout out to you for supporting our page! I’m genuinely very proud of the content we put out and the community we’re building.

As the daughter of our founder, Rita Rutland, I felt called to support my incredible mom in her mission to help heal the world (or at least the wonderful humans in our community). So I put my multitasking skills to work, built some systems, added structure where needed, and helped grow something we’re truly proud of.

I take my role seriously,  even if I occasionally sprinkle in a little humor along the way. At the end of the day, I’m here to help keep the ship sailing smoothly at Restorative Health… but honestly, I don’t know, I just work here.

Hi, I am Marissa Dufur. I am a Nurse Practitioner. I started my journey in health care as a CNA in high school. I attended UVU then switched to Broadview University for my associates of applied science in nursing and graduated in December 2010. I started working as a RN in Feb 2011.

I began my nursing career in hospice, transitioned to home health for a few years, then moved to the hospital working in neuro ICU. I had my first child after working in the hospital and the long shifts no longer worked for our family. I was introduced to Sutter Care at home where I was a phone triage nurse for nearly 6 years. While working phone triage I completed my bachelor's degree in nursing through Independence University. I returned to working in the hospice field in the community in fall of 2020. Doing so helped me to realize that I needed to once again return to school to further my education and become a nurse practitioner. 

I enrolled with United States University Spring of 2021 and graduated in June 2023 as a Family Practice Nurse Practitioner with a Master of Science in Nursing. Prior to completing my Masters, I worked as a Registered Nurse for 12.5 years. I have experience in hospice, home health, phone triage and ICU. 

I have a passion for primary care across the life span, pain management, hormone balancing, wellness, weight loss and peptides. I enjoy being efficient, listening to others and learning from them. I look forward to providing high quality holistic care and encouraging wellness for you and your family at Restorative Health.   

With an extensive background in caregiving, I bring compassion, attentiveness, and dedication to every patient I meet. My goal is to make each person’s experience with ketamine as comfortable and meaningful as possible—whether I’m simply placing an IV or sitting alongside them to guide a session. Having experienced firsthand how transformative ketamine can be, I am deeply grateful to now be part of others’ mental health journeys. Each day, I strive to combine clinical skill with genuine care, helping patients feel supported and empowered throughout their treatment. 

I am a medical assistant here at the clinic. I work hard to provide a safe space, both physical and mental to inspire the healing process. It's quite the phenomenon to see the conversations and care that takes place here, changing the course of so many lives. I aspire to continue my education both in experience and schooling to be a medical provider to continue on this work. I am also probably the funniest person you'll meet so don't let this boring monolog give you expectations on my non sophisticated personality. I will get your I.V in no problem, they call me "The I.V Goddess" round these parts.
