Speaker 1 (00:56):
Hello, everybody, Welcome to this episode of Laura Kane after
So happy that you're watching, so happy that you're listening.
I'm Laura Kane. This is Eric Rimmer, Hi, and we
have producer Brian behind the MiG. What's up Brian? Hello, okay.
And on the set, starting off the show as our third,
(01:16):
fourth and fifth co host, we have Mandy Miller, mom Suellen,
and baby Rallie Rose. Okay, that is so cute, the
cutest name I think I've ever heard in my life. Okay,
so let me just explain why they're here and what
(01:37):
I experienced. So twenty twenty five, I've decided it's going
to be a year of more self care because I
just feel like I've been go go going and not
like stopping down and doing like meditation and like like
Brian makes fun of me for all my meditation of
sleep meditation idea. I try. I try to shut my
(01:58):
mind off. So I went to acupuncture a couple of
days ago and that was really good. That was part
of my healthcare journey. And then I was looking or
I was just kind of like looking around and I've
seen this before and I've always kind of wanted to
try it, but then something like just said do it.
And it is True Rest Float SPA. Have you heard
(02:23):
of floating?
Speaker 3 (02:24):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (02:25):
Okay, I did. Okay. Mandy is the president of True
Rest and so there are locations all over the United
States and the one I went to is here in
San Diego on fourth in Hillcrest, and you can talk
more about this, but I'm just going to say that
(02:47):
this is an incredible tool to slow down your mind,
to deal with depression, to deal with PTSD, just to
give yourself an hour of sensory deprivation, which she will
explain what that is and how the water is filtered
and all that kind of stuff and what it is.
(03:07):
But I'm gonna I gotta tell you when I was done,
I still felt like I was floating, and I felt
I slept like a rock that night, did you Yes,
it was amazing, And that was like the exact that's
the point. That is the point. So tell us first
of all, I need to do this. And hey, Francis
Parker all the way, baby, Francis Lancers, let's go. My
(03:30):
kids were lnswers and you were very highly educated Vanderbilt.
So she is the president of the company. So explain
to us first of all, how did you get into it?
Why and what is this? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (03:43):
Awesome, Well thanks for having us because exposure and educating
people on floating is one of the hardest tasks that
we have. So we're excited to be here. But actually
the story of how we both got into it is
my dad's story. It was about eleven years ago and
we're from Coronado. We have a Navy Seal friend. It
is actually one of my friends, her dad, who had
(04:05):
been on deployment and came back, had his calf blown
off and through a lot of different surgeries and a
lot of also emotional trauma obviously through the process, and
came back and told us that the Navy Seals had
and still have float pods on base on the amphibious
base in Coronado, and they were putting him through floating
for his PTSD and his physical recovery and his insomnia.
(04:30):
And then through that process we also learned that they're
using the float pods to help the Navy Seals learn
languages faster, which is a whole other side too, like biohacking.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
Wow, do you want to try to take or I
can't try to take her?
Speaker 4 (04:47):
She'd probably be like if she's like this now, she'll
be like this.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
The whole time. So it was was it developed by
the military, No, not at all.
Speaker 4 (04:58):
So Europe is actually where a lot of floats existed
before twenty or two thousand and nine. Okay, really we
found this, and so in Europe it was one of
the largest modalities. It had not come to the United
States yet, there was no one manufacturing it. And so
when we heard that our friend was using floating and
the Navy seals validated it's clearly a great experience, we
(05:21):
wanted to look up a place to go try it,
and there were only fifteen locations in all of North America.
It was nowhere to be found, and so the closest
thing to us in Cornado was Phoenix. And so if
I kind of circle to where we are now, my
dad flew out to Phoenix met the founder of True Rest.
It wasn't actually our concept, it was someone else's, but
(05:43):
with the background in franchising, we all talked and decided
that it would be a good franchise business. And so
my dad and the founder they became partners, and I
started selling the franchise, and we've got now fifty open
in the US and one in Canada.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
Wow, Okay, that's amazing. Now explain. Okay, you've probably seen
the pods. They look almost like little like little baby
spaceships kind of, and they open up and they have
water in it that comes up like you just you
float in it, but what what's in it? And why
is it so beneficial?
Speaker 4 (06:17):
So it's just ten inches of water and a thousand
pounds of upsom salts. So you're floating effortlessly on top
of the water, ideally in a no sound, no light,
no gravity environment. You probably didn't know this, but true
rest actually stands for restricted environmental stimulus therapy. That's like
the scientific acronym for true rest. So if you're looking
(06:38):
it up, rest is what it's commonly referred to in
like scientific journals. And so if you can close the lid,
you don't have to have sensory deprivation. I don't know,
did you turn the lights off?
Speaker 1 (06:47):
No? Oh, I did. I had the lights off, but
I had the music on for a little while and
then I had complete darkness and complete silence. And I'll
tell you my experience of where you talk about.
Speaker 4 (06:55):
What, well, that is the sensory deprivation site. So you
don't have to do that. But if you're going and
you can, that's where you're going to have the deepest
level of relaxation. You're going to have your heart rate drop,
you're going to sleep better at night, and you're going
to have really kind of that brain and emotional recovery
that you can't get really anywhere else when you're stimulated
by lights and noise and frankly even like the sound
(07:18):
of your heartbeat and gravity and all the things that
distract you when you're outside of the pod.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
Yeah, because I feel like I've been in a state
of complete go go, go, go go, not stopping. My
brain just never stops. So when I started the float,
I was just like kind of messing around because it
feels so good because it's it's ninety six degrees, ninety.
Speaker 4 (07:39):
Five degrees at your skin tempting, it's your.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
Skin temperature, so you kind of feel like you don't
even like exist. It's neat. Oh, it's so cool, really cool.
So then I'm like, all right, get in the zone.
And then they teach you that there's a little video
that you're in that teaches you like this breathing exercise
that's supposed to get you into like a zone, and
then you lay down. They give you a different positions
you can try, but you just sit there. So I
(08:03):
would get I started to get into this zone where
I just felt like like nothing existed in it, but
I saw lights even though it was dark, I could
see some lights and stuff, and then my mind would go, wait,
you gotta do this tomorrow.
Speaker 4 (08:20):
Yeah, that's about right.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
Oh my gosh. So when I was talking to your mom, Suelle,
and she was there and she's like, you know, sometimes
it takes a few times to train your brain, just
like you have to train your brain to meditate, yeah,
to float. But I did get into that state a
couple of times throughout the hour. It's an hour you're
in there an hour, right, And for some people they
(08:43):
say it's like five minutes.
Speaker 4 (08:45):
Yeah. I mean what you're doing is you're slowing down
your brain waves to the point of being asleep, except
you're not asleep. You're awake, which is why you're conscious.
You know what's going on. But your brain waves are
so slow that you are getting that same level of
delta way back to which is like your brain wave
state when you're asleep. And for some people, the mind
can be distracting. The body can be distracting because I
(09:07):
don't know if you noticed it, but if you're hungry,
you hear your stomach groups.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
Okay, yeah, my stomach was growling and everything lower back.
I could tell that the epsom salts were doing their
work on my lower back. Uh huh, so bad. You
are going to love it. Your skin. You've never felt
your skin as soft as you do after this flow.
I need this so bad. Oh my god.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
Now does it help with like circulation and stuff like
that or it will?
Speaker 4 (09:34):
Yeah, because when you're in that anti gravity state, you're
helping elongate your spine, which is creating that space between
your spinal cord that allows for that kind of circulation.
So it helps a lot with inflammation, which you know,
if you go really far down that inflammation track, you're
helping women with fibermyalgia, You're helping pregnant women, you know
whose you know, feet are really swollen, people that are
struggling with migraines. I mean, anything along that inflammation path
(09:57):
can be treated, not fully, not fully cured, but treated
in the flow pod.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
Oh wow, okay, and they do something very special once
a month. Can't please talk about that for veterans? Yes,
I love this.
Speaker 4 (10:10):
Yeah, I mean, since the original story came from a veteran,
we would not be here without him. We do free
floats for veterans on the eleventh of every month at
every single location. So some do the entire SPA shuts down,
like you know, we'll do some of the locations, we'll
just do like a single float pod. But it's in
our franchise contracts. Everyone has to honor that, and really
(10:31):
no one, no one fights us on that. That's just
a really great way to give back to our community.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
Oh for sure, that's awesome. So if you're listening and
you're in San Diego and you want to take card
in this, and you're an active military, active military, or
veteran or a veteran, a veteran, Okay, they just have
to they have to get on it for the eleventh.
Speaker 4 (10:48):
Yeah, it's the eleventh of every single month. So you
just can go to true rest dot com and you
can sign up and then bring like a military idea
with you or something like that. You can get on
the calendar for really any month. If we get to
the eleventh of November, you know, all the locations will
do something a little bit bigger.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
But yeah, anytime. Wow, and I talk about how this
helps with PTSD, How does that help the brain with that?
Speaker 4 (11:13):
Yeah? Well, and so this is all through testimonials that
we've heard this, so it's not just the one guy
who helped introduce us to float therapy. But you know,
I've heard the story over and over again, and not
just veterans who have you know, gone through PTSD, but
also just other daily life struggles that people have encountered
who say that floating in the float pod has given
them a chance to have those thoughts and those memories
(11:36):
without having the physical bodily reaction to those thoughts.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
So it's almost that is sting to someone. Yeah, the
body feels it.
Speaker 4 (11:46):
Oh yeah, and that's when you, you know, PTSD, you'll
get into that fight or flight state. And so what
we're trying to do is take your well, I shouldn't
say we the EPSOM salts, is that we take your
body out of that fight or flight mode where you
can just stay calm, You can have those thoughts, but
your body's in that kind of sleep mode where hopefully
the more and more and more that you can do that,
the longer you can stay in that relaxed state that
(12:07):
you experienced for up to four hours or longer if
you want to stay in that long.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
So is your only location the one on fourth in
San Diego or they're more in San Diego? Do you
plan on opening more in San Diego.
Speaker 4 (12:18):
Someone wants to franchise, they can, but I've got my
hands full these days. So oh does the one?
Speaker 1 (12:25):
Okay? So what does the website again? And for people
that want, we'll put it on our website too, Laura
Kane after dark dot com and uh, with all the information,
but the website again to book.
Speaker 4 (12:36):
It's just true rest t R U E R E
S T dot com.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
Okay, And what times are you open available?
Speaker 2 (12:44):
Like?
Speaker 1 (12:44):
What what float times are available?
Speaker 4 (12:46):
So we actually have a deal with another nonprofit.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
Can I say their name? Why?
Speaker 4 (12:52):
Yeah, They're called Virginia High Performance. They are a nonprofit
for veterans and we do a lot with them, and
so because of them, we actual we opened up our
hours a lot earlier than you'll see on the website.
So now we open it eight thirty and our last
float starts at eight thirty and goes till nine thirty,
So about twelve hours a day we're just floating people
back to back to back, and half of our day
is full with these Virginia High Performance veterans.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
Do you have people that float every week and people
that float every day?
Speaker 4 (13:18):
Yeah, every day we have unlimited members will come for
hours every single day.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
Oh my gosh, because I can't wait to come back.
And you guys have memberships, you have like this whole
you have a whole thing.
Speaker 4 (13:30):
Anything that you're comfortable with, packages, memberships, one offs.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
Groupon oh, I know that. That's where I saw. I
first saw before I contacted you. And then it so
happens that when I lived in Coronado, your mom was
teaching step aerobics. Remember when step aerobics she still does. Yeah,
you do still do stuff, Oh my gosh. And I
took a bunch of her classes and then she's like,
do you remember me. I'm like, oh my god, yes, she.
Speaker 4 (13:54):
Looks like Barbie. She has her little microphone and does
her high kicks.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
I love it. So anyway, I just wanted you guys
to be in here, and I really appreciate it, and
I think it's just really special what you're doing for
our veterans and the people in the military, because you know,
they are dealing with a lot of things that we
have no idea and never will know, you know, so this,
if this is something that can help them release those
bad things in their minds, this is a beautiful thing
(14:22):
and it's really great that you do the free eleventh
of every month. That's really special. And good luck with
the I mean it sounds like you're gang going gangbusters,
even with a one month old and a one year old.
Don't you have a one year old?
Speaker 3 (14:35):
Too? Oh?
Speaker 1 (14:35):
Yeah, girl, how are you doing it all? Thank god?
I don't like this.

Speaker 1 (14:43):
Mom. Is there anything that you want to say, so
Ellen that to add to anything? If you if you
can bend down?
Speaker 5 (14:47):
Yeah, yeah again, just thank you. We really want to
get the word out to people in San Diego and
especially to the military community, and just get people in
there and try it experiences for the first time so
that they can see really how amazing it makes you feel.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
Oh my god. And then afterward you can sit and
do a little bit of oxygen therapy too. Have you
ever done oxygen therapy? Have not? It's the whole shebang.
You walk out of there and you are literally floating

you're going to sleep better at night, and you're going
to have really kind of that brain and emotional recovery
that you can't get really anywhere else when you're stimulated
by lights and noise and frankly even like the sound
(07:18):
of your heartbeat and gravity and all the things that
distract you when you're outside of the pod.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
Yeah, because I feel like I've been in a state
of complete go go, go, go go, not stopping. My
brain just never stops. So when I started the float,
I was just like kind of messing around because it
feels so good because it's it's ninety six degrees, ninety.
Speaker 4 (07:39):
Five degrees at your skin tempting, it's your.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
Skin temperature, so you kind of feel like you don't
even like exist. It's neat. Oh, it's so cool, really cool.
So then I'm like, all right, get in the zone.
And then they teach you that there's a little video
that you're in that teaches you like this breathing exercise
that's supposed to get you into like a zone, and
then you lay down. They give you a different positions
you can try, but you just sit there. So I
(08:03):
would get I started to get into this zone where
I just felt like like nothing existed in it, but
I saw lights even though it was dark, I could
see some lights and stuff, and then my mind would go, wait,
you gotta do this tomorrow.
Speaker 4 (08:20):
Yeah, that's about right.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
Oh my gosh. So when I was talking to your mom, Suelle,
and she was there and she's like, you know, sometimes
it takes a few times to train your brain, just
like you have to train your brain to meditate, yeah,
to float. But I did get into that state a
couple of times throughout the hour. It's an hour you're
in there an hour, right, And for some people they
(08:43):
say it's like five minutes.
Speaker 4 (08:45):
Yeah. I mean what you're doing is you're slowing down
your brain waves to the point of being asleep, except
you're not asleep. You're awake, which is why you're conscious.
You know what's going on. But your brain waves are
so slow that you are getting that same level of
delta way back to which is like your brain wave
state when you're asleep. And for some people, the mind
can be distracting. The body can be distracting because I
(09:07):
don't know if you noticed it, but if you're hungry,
you hear your stomach groups.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
Okay, yeah, my stomach was growling and everything lower back.
I could tell that the epsom salts were doing their
work on my lower back. Uh huh, so bad. You
are going to love it. Your skin. You've never felt
your skin as soft as you do after this flow.
I need this so bad. Oh my god.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
Now does it help with like circulation and stuff like
that or it will?
Speaker 4 (09:34):
Yeah, because when you're in that anti gravity state, you're
helping elongate your spine, which is creating that space between
your spinal cord that allows for that kind of circulation.
So it helps a lot with inflammation, which you know,
if you go really far down that inflammation track, you're
helping women with fibermyalgia, You're helping pregnant women, you know
whose you know, feet are really swollen, people that are
struggling with migraines. I mean, anything along that inflammation path
(09:57):
can be treated, not fully, not fully cured, but treated
in the flow pod.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
Oh wow, okay, and they do something very special once
a month. Can't please talk about that for veterans? Yes,
I love this.
Speaker 4 (10:10):
Yeah, I mean, since the original story came from a veteran,
we would not be here without him. We do free
floats for veterans on the eleventh of every month at
every single location. So some do the entire SPA shuts down,
like you know, we'll do some of the locations, we'll
just do like a single float pod. But it's in
our franchise contracts. Everyone has to honor that, and really
(10:31):
no one, no one fights us on that. That's just
a really great way to give back to our community.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
Oh for sure, that's awesome. So if you're listening and
you're in San Diego and you want to take card
in this, and you're an active military, active military, or
veteran or a veteran, a veteran, Okay, they just have
to they have to get on it for the eleventh.
Speaker 4 (10:48):
Yeah, it's the eleventh of every single month. So you
just can go to true rest dot com and you
can sign up and then bring like a military idea
with you or something like that. You can get on
the calendar for really any month. If we get to
the eleventh of November, you know, all the locations will
do something a little bit bigger.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
But yeah, anytime. Wow, and I talk about how this
helps with PTSD, How does that help the brain with that?
Speaker 4 (11:13):
Yeah? Well, and so this is all through testimonials that
we've heard this, so it's not just the one guy
who helped introduce us to float therapy. But you know,
I've heard the story over and over again, and not
just veterans who have you know, gone through PTSD, but
also just other daily life struggles that people have encountered
who say that floating in the float pod has given
them a chance to have those thoughts and those memories
(11:36):
without having the physical bodily reaction to those thoughts.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
So it's almost that is sting to someone. Yeah, the
body feels it.
Speaker 4 (11:46):
Oh yeah, and that's when you, you know, PTSD, you'll
get into that fight or flight state. And so what
we're trying to do is take your well, I shouldn't
say we the EPSOM salts, is that we take your
body out of that fight or flight mode where you
can just stay calm, You can have those thoughts, but
your body's in that kind of sleep mode where hopefully
the more and more and more that you can do that,
the longer you can stay in that relaxed state that
(12:07):
you experienced for up to four hours or longer if
you want to stay in that long.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
So is your only location the one on fourth in
San Diego or they're more in San Diego? Do you
plan on opening more in San Diego.
Speaker 4 (12:18):
Someone wants to franchise, they can, but I've got my
hands full these days. So oh does the one?
Speaker 1 (12:25):
Okay? So what does the website again? And for people
that want, we'll put it on our website too, Laura
Kane after dark dot com and uh, with all the information,
but the website again to book.
Speaker 4 (12:36):
It's just true rest t R U E R E
S T dot com.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
Okay, And what times are you open available?
Speaker 2 (12:44):
Like?
Speaker 1 (12:44):
What what float times are available?
Speaker 4 (12:46):
So we actually have a deal with another nonprofit.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
Can I say their name? Why?
Speaker 4 (12:52):
Yeah, They're called Virginia High Performance. They are a nonprofit
for veterans and we do a lot with them, and
so because of them, we actual we opened up our
hours a lot earlier than you'll see on the website.
So now we open it eight thirty and our last
float starts at eight thirty and goes till nine thirty,
So about twelve hours a day we're just floating people
back to back to back, and half of our day
is full with these Virginia High Performance veterans.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
Do you have people that float every week and people
that float every day?
Speaker 4 (13:18):
Yeah, every day we have unlimited members will come for
hours every single day.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
Oh my gosh, because I can't wait to come back.
And you guys have memberships, you have like this whole
you have a whole thing.
Speaker 4 (13:30):
Anything that you're comfortable with, packages, memberships, one offs.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
Groupon oh, I know that. That's where I saw. I
first saw before I contacted you. And then it so
happens that when I lived in Coronado, your mom was
teaching step aerobics. Remember when step aerobics she still does. Yeah,
you do still do stuff, Oh my gosh. And I
took a bunch of her classes and then she's like,
do you remember me. I'm like, oh my god, yes, she.
Speaker 4 (13:54):
Looks like Barbie. She has her little microphone and does
her high kicks.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
I love it. So anyway, I just wanted you guys
to be in here, and I really appreciate it, and
I think it's just really special what you're doing for
our veterans and the people in the military, because you know,
they are dealing with a lot of things that we
have no idea and never will know, you know, so this,
if this is something that can help them release those
bad things in their minds, this is a beautiful thing
(14:22):
and it's really great that you do the free eleventh
of every month. That's really special. And good luck with
the I mean it sounds like you're gang going gangbusters,
even with a one month old and a one year old.
Don't you have a one year old?

get the word out to people in San Diego and
especially to the military community, and just get people in
there and try it experiences for the first time so
that they can see really how amazing it makes you feel.
