illi News/10286401

CHICAGO - illiNews -- Chicagoland True REST Float Spa Old Orchard was recently reopened by Murphy Monroe, an autistic individual, and Heather Rohner, a brother and sister team who have experienced life-changing effects from float therapy and are passionate about sharing the experience with others. TrueREST Old Orchard is both a Women-owned business and an Enterprise Owned by People with Disabilities.

Flotation therapy, also known as sensory deprivation, is a unique way for individuals aged 14 and up to gain the benefits of rest, relaxation and total body healing in just a one-hour session. Each session offers relaxation and many other benefits that directly address mental and physical symptoms like depression, anxiety, chronic pain and post-traumatic stress disorder.

True REST Float Spa offers float pods within luxurious private shower suites, an oasis room, and an oxygen bar to round out the complete relaxation experience. The float spa environment and customer service elevate the serene and calm atmosphere to ensure that everyone leaves feeling better than when they came in.

True Rest Float Spa offers a holiday special to guests who want to buy or gift an hour-long flotation therapy session. The gift cards are not limited, and 2-for-1 floats for only $89.

"Recently I went for my first float, and I will DEFINITELY be going again. My float was incredible, and the hour went by smoothly as my mind settled into relaxation. I was worried I was going to feel claustrophobic in the tank, but being able to

control the lights really helped, and after a bit I was actually able to turn them off! The temperature and humidity were on point, so I felt like I was really floating.

Afterwards, my neck (where I hold a lot of tension) felt better than it had in a long time. I will definitely be returning, and I highly recommend True Rest during the stressful holidays. They have a holiday deal too, so this is a great gift for someone who's into wellness or is curious about it!"
