We thought we would share a lovely review left by Laura De Stefano and her first time experience of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy:
“Went for the first time last week, as I’d booked myself into the Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy for my very first experience. Having read about the benefits of HBOT I was keen but apprehensive. I was even more apprehensive when I discovered on arrival I’d be locked in a pressurised chamber with five other people for an hour and a half and have to wear a hood to receive the oxygen. As a recovering agoraphobic of 20+ years with an oftentimes severe aversion to having *anything* even lightly touch my neck due to my anxiety symptom (closing of throat muscles) triggering my emetophobia and thus increasing the anxiety cycle… I truly thought I had no chance. What encouraged me to give it a try were the people. I was in with plenty of very experienced HBOT-ers including some who’ve been regularly partaking for 10 and even 20 years, and I was talked through everything, we took one step at a time, and the friendliness and kindness of a couple of older gents in particular who kept an eye on me and made sure I was ok throughout… before I knew it the hour and a half was up. As someone who can be terrified of being unable to escape on a whim, and who really does not tolerate anything like the neck seal that was required for the oxygen hood… the fact I got through is testament to the people. Everyone I met was friendly and welcoming, I didn’t feel out of place. A wide range of ages and experiences, and reasons for being at the centre having these kinds of therapies, but the people all had one thing in common and that was a welcoming attitude. I felt taken under their wing and I’m looking forward to pushing myself to keep going, especially on days where it might be more challenging. Thank you to everyone at the centre. See you again for the next one!”
Would you like to come along and try the Chamber for the first time? We have an online booking system, so it is super easy to schedule your first session. We currently (as of time of writing) have an introductory offer of £10 for your first session, which can be claimed back off the cost of a second dive, if you wish to continue!
