Our Why

With our roots in Colorado, a critical headwater state, we have a shared responsibility to preserve freshwater resources for the health of oceans and communities downstream. 


There is a common misconception that inland communities and individual actions do NOT contribute to the decline in ocean health. 

We knew this couldn't be further from the truth, and it was causing lasting damage to the planet. This disconnect is why we started Reef Healers. To raise awareness around the power of collective action, and create a revenue stream to protect Rivers and Reefs. 

Our Mission

We aim to grow a sustainable revenue stream that expands ocean conservation efforts from rivers to reefs. Connecting communities through impactful events and educational initiatives that highlight how upstream actions have downstream impacts, though, ultimately affect us all. 

Our Goals

  • Raise our first $1,000 in the action fund ($500 for Rivers & $500 for Reefs) 
  • Plan and coordinate a local philanthropic event.
  • Become 100% sustainable/carbon neutral in all business operations.
  • Launch our first joint-funded and then self-funded conservation projects.
  • Expand operations internationally.

Meet the Founders

Founders, Chloe Rogozinski and Austin Niles started the Reef Healers organization to promote healthy oceans and water resources, climate-aware action, and resilient communities through an All-for-one approach.  


Our love for the oceans is why we started, but our focus on the root causes of ocean degradation from non-coastal communities is what makes us unique. 

Located in the landlocked state of Colorado, we highlight the importance of preserving one's local ecosystems as a unified approach to benefit the one global ecosystem. 

AKA - Biosphere.
