Our Story

Elemental Healing was born out of personal experience. As the founder, I spent years struggling with excess weight and the aches that come with a sedentary lifestyle. My father faced similar challenges and, as he entered his sixties, we both felt the urgency to regain our health. Determined to change, I began a consistent exercise routine and quickly discovered that recovery was just as important as the workouts themselves. In my search for tools to ease soreness and speed healing, I stumbled upon cold‑water immersion. After my first Cold Plunge, I felt an unparalleled sense of relief and vitality. Living in the South, keeping a tub full of ice cold was impractical, so I improvised and rigged a 500‑gallon tank with a chiller. The difference was staggering – the water stayed at an optimal temperature and stepping into it became a daily ritual. My father was skeptical until he tried it himself; after one plunge he was hooked. Seeing it relieve his longstanding aches inspired me to dive deeper into the science of recovery.

Research led us to add infrared saunas to our routine and, later, hyperbaric oxygen therapy. Studies show that frequent Infrared Sauna use lowers the risk of stroke, high blood pressure and dementia^[2], while cold‑water immersion has time‑dependent effects on inflammation and stress^[3]. Perhaps most exciting of all, a pioneering hyperbaric study demonstrated that repeated sessions can lengthen telomeres – the protective caps at the ends of chromosomes – by more than 20 percent and decrease senescent cells by 10–37 percent in older adults^[4]. The idea that we could tap into regenerative processes usually reserved for astronauts or divers thrilled us. Elemental Healing exists today because we want to share these discoveries. Our goal is simple: help people eliminate pain and rediscover vitality using the elemental forces of cold, heat and oxygen.

Evidence‑Based Healing

Our approach is grounded in research. Each modality we offer has been studied and shown to provide tangible benefits when used correctly:

• Infrared Infrared Sauna: Regular Infrared Sauna bathing gently raises core temperature and triggers a cardiovascular workout. In a 15‑year Finnish cohort, people who used saunas four to seven times per week were 60 percent less likely to suffer a stroke than those who used saunas once a week^[2]. Frequent Infrared Sauna sessions are also associated with lower blood pressure and reduced risks of dementia and cardiovascular death^[2].
• Cold Plunge: A 2025 systematic review found that cold‑water immersion delivers time‑dependent effects on inflammation, stress, immunity, sleep quality and quality of life ^[3]. Participants experienced reduced stress 12 hours after cold exposure and improved sleep quality, although more high‑quality studies are needed to determine optimal protocols.
• Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT): HBOT involves breathing 100 percent oxygen in a pressurized chamber. A 2025 retrospective cohort study reported that adults who completed at least 40 HBOT sessions showed significant improvements in global cognition, memory, executive function, attention and information processing speed^[5]. HBOT is generally safe when delivered at accredited facilities and has been cleared by regulators to treat conditions ranging from decompression sickness and carbon monoxide poisoning to severe burns and diabetic foot ulcers^[6].

Safety & Standards

Safety is our top priority. We use FDA‑cleared hyperbaric chambers and follow strict protocols to minimize risk. When HBOT is used for approved indications, serious complications are rare. Potential side‑effects include ear or sinus discomfort, temporary vision changes and, very rarely, lung collapse^[6]. High oxygen concentrations carry a fire risk, so sessions are always supervised by trained staff in an accredited facility^[6].

Our Mission & Values

At Elemental Healing, we recognize that every individual’s healing journey is unique. We tailor our services to your goals – whether you are recovering from an injury, managing chronic pain, seeking peak performance or simply looking to support long‑term wellness. The majority of people who visit centers like ours come with acute or chronic complaints, while others are striving for peak performance and anti‑aging benefits; positive outcomes are common ^[7]. Our team is here to guide you toward the most effective combination of treatments for your needs, and we work with healthcare professionals when necessary to ensure coordinated, comprehensive care.
