Transitions Wellness Services

“Transitions Wellness & Performance Center”

Because your body is wise, your nervous system is tired, and your healing doesn’t have to wait for a crisis. At Transitions, rest isn’t a luxury — it’s a strategy. It’s where your breath slows, your mind unwinds, and your body remembers how to heal. Whether you’re soaking in stillness inside a float pod, sinking into heat in the infrared sauna, or letting the quiet pulse of red light or sound gently reset your rhythm, each experience is designed to bring you back to yourself. This is your space to pause. To recalibrate. To transition from stress into restoration — and leave not just rested, but recharged.

Prioritize Yourself:

When we constantly give without taking time to refill our own energy, we end up running on empty—and that’s when stress, burnout, and even illness set in. Prioritizing ourselves isn’t selfish; it’s essential. We’re here to give you that permission.

Reset Your Nervous System:

The nervous system is the master regulator of the body, and holistic healing depends on its balance and resilience. Each one of our services allows this system to reset for maximum healing to occur.

Decrease Toxic Load

In today’s world we are bombarded with pollution, chemicals, processed foods, and constant stress, all of which place a heavy burden on our bodies and make it more important than ever to support our natural ability to cleanse, restore, and stay resilient.

Your Future Self Will Thank You

Aging well is the new “cool” —When you invest in your health now, your future self will thank you with more energy, clarity, and joy to fully live the life you envision. Don’t put it off, you deserve the best.

Infared Sauna + Cold Plunge (Private Rooms)

Infared heat warms the body from within, relaxing muscles and boosting circulation. The cold plunge quickly cools

you down, easing inflammation and stimulating the nervous system. Together, they create a powerful balance

that supports recovery, stress resilience, and overall wellness.

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

Stepping into a soft hyperbaric chamber feels gentle, yet what happens inside is powerful. As pressure

Mild Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (mHBOT)

As a Peri-operative Adjunct in Plastic and Aesthetic Surgery

We Care About Your Outcomes

At Transitions Wellness, we offer mild hyperbaric oxygen therapy (mHBOT) as a supportive modality to enhance recovery and optimize outcomes following plastic and aesthetic surgery. Emerging research shows that controlled oxygen exposure under mild pressure can significantly improve tissue healing, reduce inflammation, and support optimal post-surgical results (Thom et al., 2021).

Why Plastic Surgeons Integrate mHBOT

Enhanced Wound Healing

Oxygen is essential for collagen synthesis and angiogenesis. mHBOT increases oxygen delivery to healing tissues, supporting faster epithelialization and improved scar outcomes.
(Heyboer et al., 2017)

Reduced Swelling and Bruising

Increased oxygen tension assists in resolving edema and post-operative bruising more efficiently.
(Yamada et al., 2020)

Improved Flap and Graft Survival

Studies show higher graft take rates and improved microcirculation with perioperative hyperbaric oxygen exposure.
(Zhang et al., 2021)

Decreased Infection Risk

Oxygen-rich environments are hostile to anaerobic bacteria, aiding in lower post-surgical infection rates.
(Buras, 2020)

Ideal Candidates

Facelift, eyelid, rhinoplasty, liposuction, breast, or body contouring patients. Also beneficial for those with previous healing challenges or high aesthetic expectations.

Recommended mHBOT Protocol

We offer mHBOT in a controlled, comfortable environment at 1.3 ATA using 98% oxygen. For optimal outcomes, surgeons and patients may follow this evidence-informed approach:

• Pre-Surgery: 3–6 sessions (60–90 minutes) to optimize tissue oxygenation, enhance immune readiness, and reduce inflammation.

• Post-Surgery: 5–10 sessions (60–90 minutes) within the first two weeks after surgery to accelerate recovery, minimize swelling, decrease infection risk, and promote even scar formation.

What Our Clients Are Saying

Digestion – Celiac Disease

“I can’t recommend the hyperbaric chamber at Transitions enough. After struggling with chronic inflammation from celiac disease and ulcerative colitis for over 10 years, I noticed a difference after just one session. My inflammation has significantly decreased, and I’ve experienced major improvements in energy and mental clarity. The hyperbaric chamber has truly been life-changing — huge thanks to Lou for recommending it after hearing about my years of symptoms.”
— Payton S.

Cosmetic Surgery

“I was recommended to use the hyperbaric oxygen immediately after my facelift to dramatically decrease the swelling, pain, and time it takes to heal. My doctor showed me studies where the use of hyperbaric oxygen therapy every day after a facelift reduced the healing time to 13 days from over a month.

I wasn’t able to start on the first day but started within the first 48 hours and had sessions every day thereafter. At the first session, my eyes were so swollen I could not see out of them, but immediately after that first session, the swelling had gone down enough for both eyes to open and all of the pain was gone. I was able to get off all pain medication right away.

After that initial treatment, it only continued to improve. I’m very glad my doctor recommended this type of treatment — it dramatically shortened my recovery time, pain, and swelling.”
— Maria K.

Supportive Cancer Therapy

“I began using the hyperbaric chamber at Transitions Wellness Center in Juno Beach as part of my integrative care plan while undergoing chemotherapy for pancreatic cancer. From the start, the staff made me feel safe, informed, and supported.

The facility is spotless, peaceful, and professionally run — an environment that promotes healing on every level. After several sessions, I noticed meaningful improvements: better energy, faster recovery from treatment fatigue, and clearer mental focus. My sleep also improved, and I felt less inflammation and soreness overall.

These benefits became even more noticeable when I combined hyperbaric sessions with my nutrition plan and other wellness therapies. What stands out most is the personalized attention I received. The team genuinely cares about each patient’s journey and takes time to explain the process and monitor progress.

I highly recommend Transitions Wellness Center to anyone seeking a safe, science-based, and compassionate environment to complement conventional care. The hyperbaric chamber has been a key part of my recovery strategy, and I’m deeply grateful for the professionalism and kindness of the entire team.”
— Jim S.

Traumatic Brain Injury

“In Fall 2022, I was diagnosed with a traumatic brain injury, anxiety, and anger after brain SPECT imaging. My doctor recommended a hyperbaric oxygen protocol of 60–80 dives to support healing alongside other therapies.

Out of pocket, this could have cost $6K–$12K with typical hyperbaric chambers. For years, I couldn’t find an affordable way to follow through with it — until now. This center offers a clean, quiet chamber and a membership package that finally made regular sessions possible.

The staff is professional and caring, and I’ve already completed 35 sessions. My brain health and performance feel like a miracle. Having access to a private chamber at a price I can manage has been a real breakthrough.”
— Todd C.
