REPAIR REGENERATE RENEW

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is an all-natural, non-invasive treatment where a client simply breathes 97% oxygen at an increased atmospheric pressure. HBOT can increase the oxygen concentration in the body by up to 1,200% —this gives it the potential to lead to extraordinary health benefits. This treatment delivers the oxygen that every cell in your body craves to repair and enhance cellular function. In turn, it stimulates the growth of new blood vessels, improving circulation. The entire process also encourages the release of stem cells, which are vital to help you achieve long-term optimal healing. Within the comfort of one of our soft hyperbaric chambers, it can heal a variety of conditions from chronic pain, concussions to long COVID.

Here at Halo Hyperbarics, we offer 5 soft chambers that reach 1.3ata while breathing 97% oxygen. Comfort is important so our clients lay on a memory foam mattress while wearing their everyday clothes. Phones, tablets, laptops, headphones or a book are encouraged to bring inside while you relax. You will be offered a blanket or a fan depending on the current temperature. Once inside, our HBOT tech will turn the compressors on and it will take 5-7 minutes to climb to pressure. While climbing, most of the time clients will experience their ears to pop as if you were on an airplane but that will stop once the chamber reaches 1.3ata. The HBOT tech will then set the 1 hour timer and you get to enjoy the time inside!

The inspiration to start this business began with our owners son, Cutler, who was born with a condition that required surgery. After 5 failed surgeries in Oregon, his parents found a surgeon who specializes in his condition in Texas. Hyperbaric treatments were an absolute requirement from the surgeon because of its quick and effective healing capabilities. Cutler would need 3 surgeries and 20 HBOT sessions after each surgery (60 total treatments). The more we learned about Hyperbaric and the many benefits it can provide so many people, we wanted to bring this to our community! 2 years of hard work, determination, and a boy who inspired us, we are proud to offer this holistic, natural affordable approach to healing!

Doulas educate, support, and companion in ways that are often difficult for close family members and friends. We assist in the preparation of advance directives; hold vigil for actively dying patients; provide household support; support survivors through the after-death services; create legacy projects and provide support through the grieving process. Doulas walk alongside individuals and their families as informed companions. We listen with compassion and without judgment.

As a late-life doula I strive to minimize the loneliness and isolation individuals experience at the end of their lives by providing non-medical, compassionate, consistent, and steady support and creating sacred space for clients. I provide spiritual companionship to my clients and offer care to caregivers granting them some respite.

In our culture death, dying, and loss are somewhat taboo topics. We prepare for birth, but often avoid preparing for death. Doulas support individuals embracing the inevitable. We understand that those who have a say in their own end of life process feel a sense of peace and that survivors of loved ones who have had end of life plans felt more at peace after the death of their loved ones.
