I met Mandy Rowe at a franchise event weeks ago where she told me about the concept of "floating" and how it originated with the Navy SEALS. True Rest Float Spa an amazing brand helping people of all ages feel better, reduce pain, and eliminate stress. True Rest guests lay in ten inches of salt water allowing them to relax, meditate, listen to music, and for a brief moment forgot about all the pain and stresses of life. Mandy has also amassed millions of views on TikTok after getting the idea to look into it while doing laundry at 2:00 am.
Here's Mandy's story.
