Today is a very special episode, because we’re going to get a little geeky, a little science-y. I know there are some listeners here who have told me they love those kinds of episodes, and we’re going to do it today in the vein of the important piece of all health and wellness, lifestyle and healthy pursuits. A huge part of that is rest and recovery, and that’s what we’re going to focus on today. Specifically one method. So to join us on today’s call is Sloane Wendell. She’s an expert and the owner, actually, of the first float therapy spa in San Antonio, Texas, which is actually where I’m from. But the things we’re going to talk about today definitely apply in a worldly perspective.<br> <br> The name of her float therapy spa is called iSofloat. iSofloat is a specialized float therapy center that focuses on restrictive environmental stimuli therapy; REST; also known as floating! You’ve probably heard; maybe some of you have heard of this before. Floating is a tool for pain relief, wellness, and relaxation and it comes with a lot of different benefits. Float therapy allows our body to better equip themselves to deal with the stress and tension of living in today’s fast-paced world. And to tell us all about the science, all about the whys and some of her personal experiences, is my friend, Sloane. Thank you so much for joining us today, Sloane.<br> <br> Sloane Wendell: Well thank you, Cassy. It’s wonderful to be here. Thank you so much.<br> <br> Cassy Joy: Of course! This is going to be great. I’m so excited. Sloane was gracious enough; she invited me to come out and try a float, and I actually tried it last night, so this is less than 24 hours later, so I can give some personal experience. But I’m really; was really blown away. What got you first turned on to this whole idea of floating? Because you were the first one to tell me about it several years ago when you were talking about wanting to start this business here.
