Wow! What an experience! I was a little (not a lot, but for sure a little) worried if I'd be comfortable in a hyperbaric chamber - I tend to get in my head a lot unnecessarily. I was so comfortable, y'all! From the time I walked in (and I was having a moment re: work stressors) the gentleman that greeted me was super kind & courteous, taking my temp at the gate (bc we're still in a pandemic) and walking me in to the space. The HH suite (bc it's definitely not just a studio or room) was a whole rustic, plant kween mood(!!!), filled with ultra lush greenery & a whole spa vibe. Will, my "dive guide" was so warm & welcoming upon greeting me & escorted me to a waiting lounge area, very plush & lavish I might add, where I watched a brief video that explained what was going to happen, what I needed to do & what support I would have during my time in the chamber. I felt super safe, well taken care of, and was reassured by Will (because I got nervous & asked) that he'd gone through several dives & loved it - and that it wouldn't be uncomfortable at all & he'd be right outside, just a walkie-talk away, if anything. When the door closed, the silence was amazing (I really like quiet lol). I played on my phone for a few minutes, and then heard on the walkie that my dive was starting. I had to pop my ears a bunch, but HH provided gum, so that really helped. Once I got to the dive pressure, Will let me know it was time to put on my oxygen mask; it was comfortable & easy to use. I eventually fell asleep, and woke back up, mask still on, more grateful than I could express for the rest. I've had a lot of changes in life recently- mostly good - but less time to rest, and this was a welcomed respite. After my 90 minute dive, Will walkied in that I'd be coming back up. After exiting the chamber, I was able to rest again in the lounge area, where I was given fruit infused water & a couple vitamins to help with the oxygen absorption. I was in a bit of a haze & was gently reminded that I was welcomed to stay as long as I wanted but also that I was able to go whenever I felt ready (which wasn't long, but I appreciated the time to recalibrate for a few minutes). After my appointment I was pretty tired, had plans of going back to work, but ended up going home eating and going to bed. I went to sleep super early, maybe about 830 and woke up at 5 AM with so much energy! Alex, thank you for enlightening me on this experience & the opportunity to experience its benefits. I'm excited to book my next appointment!
Thank you HH team for the wonderful experience!
