I've been twice now. The space is calm and soothing. All the details are thought of. Lighting you can control, easy communication via walkie-talkie should you need it, snacks, water, and a hot towel after. The pod is set up to be as comfortable as can be with pillows and blanket. Alex does a wonderful job preparing you for your experience, making you feel safe and informed. They create an excellent container for treatment. I slept like a baby after the first time I went. Found myself recovering much quicker from my weightlifting afterward. The second time I went in while recovering from a facial burn from a cooking accident. The extra help in healing was exactly what I needed. I'll definitely be back. read more

My naturopathic doctor recommended a 20-session course of hyperbaric oxygen for anxiety and told me about a place nearby that had reasonable prices. I was ecstatic to learn that the cost of treatment was the same as at a Mexican clinic I researched! I was also pleasantly surprised by how roomy and comfortable the chambers are. I began looking forward to the time for meditating and reading, knowing that afterward I'd feel both relaxed and energized. I did sessions twice to three times a week for a couple of months. After about two weeks I began feeling mentally clearer, more enthusiastic, and much less anxious. The treatment rooms are lovely and each session is like a spa day, complete with after-treatment hot towels, cucumber/herb water, and vitamin supplements to replenish your system. Alex is passionate in her mission to bring this technology to people in need. She was extremely accommodating if I was late or needed to reschedule, and did backflips to make sure I got in all my sessions. She truly cares about her clients and was incredibly supportive during my healing journey. read more

This was a fantastic experience. It was like going to the spa, but really I was being treated and healed. I am a new mom of 2 months and have a few things that need some help with healing, including a large wound on my breast from it being drained due to an awful mastitis infection. I already feel much better, can visibly see the difference and I would be lying if I didn't tell you the 1 1/2 hours of peace as a new mom was fantastic! Alex is amazing and caters a pleasant spa like experience. She was their every step of the way to help ease me into the experience. She was in constant communication and was available for anything. I felt safe as I dived deep into a healing experience. read more

Holistic Hyperbarics is absolutely phenomenal! I had set my appointment up so that I could come by right after work. Unfortunately, I got held up and then stuck in the 880 traffic nightmare. Thankfully, I was able to make a call to Alex who assured me that all was well and that I would still be accommodated. It honestly lifted a massive weight off my shoulders. When I arrived, I was delighted to find myself in a really cozy office space which made me feel relaxed and at home. I was immediately greeted by Alex who welcomed me in without any feeling of being rushed, despite me being late. She had me fill out some paperwork and we were ready to go! I was lead into the back where I was given a run down of the machinery and some safety procedures in case of emergency. Alex handed me a walkie talkie and reassured me that she would only be a few feet away in case I needed anything. I hopped inside the chamber which was neatly set up and lit up with some cool mood lighting which I thought was pretty cool. Alex advised that my ears would pop a bit (which is normal) since the chamber would become lightly pressurized. She pointed to a little pouch on the wall with some gum to help. I laid back and closed my eyes as Alex started a count down. The started to feel the ear popping she had mentioned but wasn't too noticeable. I popped on my headphones and turned on some guided meditations. Whilst sitting there, I could def feel a tingle through my body as the chamber did it's work on me. The 90 mins flew by as I Alex reappeared from the front office and gently radioed in and woke me up. As I climbed out I could immediately feel a difference in the way I was moving. Alex lead me to the front where she asked me about my experiences and handed me a small snack of nuts and berries along with a glass of water. We sat for a min as I regained my bearings and prepared for departure. The next day I woke up and was impressed with how my muscle soreness from working out had almost completely vanished. I had a great nights rest and felt ready to tackle my day. Working out that night I was able to hit a new personal record without feeling completely gassed out at the end. Thank for such an awesome experience! I'm definitely setting up another appointment soon. Can't wait! read more

In addition to the basic precautions ( staying inside, filtering your air, wearing a mask, & hydrating) Holistic Hyperbarics is the perfect treatment to oxygenate your cells after breathing the intense smokey air in the Bay Area this past week. read more

Holistic Hyperbarics - Getting oxygenated in the Hyperbaric chamber - called "a dive". What an antidote to the intense smoke in the Bay Area. - Undersea/Hyperbaric Medicine Near Me - Emeryville, California

Talk to them and see if a protocol may work for you. Professional and very helpful. A lot of research is out there how this may help with adjunct healing on other modalities. I'm very glad I went and have seen progress in my injury recovery goals. read more

I just started going to Holistic Hyperbarics and I feel like I'm in a whole new body! I'm a diabetic with a connective tissue disease and multiple autoimmune issues. I've had a wound on my foot that wouldn't heal in the last 7 months that is finally making progress! I have a foot that's not getting enough blood flow, and after only two treatments the aching bones that have been constantly plaguing me are no longer as painful. I've been struggling to get doctors to take me seriously for almost a year, and now I'm finally starting to heal. The pain from my Ehlers-Danlos has also noticeably decreased. Alex is amazing! She is is so knowledgeable about everything I have going on with my body. She has advice and treatment plans that are already showing me results. She is also a KT tape expert and helping me to stabilize my body to prevent further injury, while healing my current injuries. If your body is slow to heal for any reason, I definitely recommend seeing Alex at Holistic Hyperbarics. read more

I have been so impressed with the staff and the services here. I started with neurofeedback and have added in hyperbaric chamber therapy. Both have been critical on my healing path. It is safe, friendly and a wonderful buisness to support read more

I had an amazing experience at Holistic Hyperbarics and recommend it to all my rugby buddies for both performance and recovery! I went for the first time in 2017 when I heard our national tournament was going to be held outside of Denver. With limited time to get acclimated, the oxygen therapy really gave me a performance edge and I felt no ill-effects from the dramatic increase in altitude. Since then, I've kept coming back to help ease the aches and pains. It dramatically decreases the recovery time needed between rough sessions on the pitch. I was skeptical of hyperbaric oxygen therapy at first. But then again, I'm kind of skeptical of anything. However! This is not some hippy woo-woo thing, it's real medical science with proven results, delivered by medical professionals who really know their stuff. Alex was kind, down-to-earth, patient, and professional, walking me through the whole process. Plus, their office is gorgeous. And there are cookies. read more

Words can't describe my gratitude and appreciation for this place. Hyperbarics is amazing for cellular healing and regeneration. I am expressing my review from a RN/medical-esthetician perspective. I refer my clients, patients and most importantly, my family to this place. Customer service: A+, Alex is extremely knowledgeable and welcoming. Cleanliness: For my high standards, I am impressed with this facility. Clean, sanitary and esthetically appealing. Service: Where to start, my husband suffered from an extreme burn wound with a medical diagnosis: third degree burn to the hand. He was expected to be off from work for 1-2 weeks. I called Alex right away to schedule my husband in the chamber for the very next morning. She was super accommodating given the situation. No joke, after a 1.5 hour treatment, his wound was beyond words. He looked as though he had healed post 1-2 weeks out. The Hyperbarics chamber sped up his recovery process. My husband noted significant reduction in pain and heat. He noted that he was able to move his hand significantly, able to bend his fingers and touch thumb to pinky without pain. I honestly thank Alex and the Hyperbarics chamber for the amazing results. He was able to go back to work the following day. His work crew could not believe how fast he healed. I will update this review later with the amazing results I personally have experienced and the fantastic experience from my daughter. Don't hesitate, if you need wound repair, cellular regeneration, post op recovery support or body restoration, this is the place to go. Don't wait any longer! read more

I am a wedding photographer and 1.5 days before I was supposed to photograph a wedding, I pulled some muscles in my neck that left me in excruciating pain (only second to childbirth) and so stiff I couldn't turn my head without looking like a robot. I was in panic mode since I can't exactly take sick days for my job which also happens to be pretty physical, and so I decided to give the chamber a try and went in for my first dive. After I explained my situation to Alex over the phone she was able to give me a same-day appointment and was very confident that my time in the chamber would really help my neck muscles heal. And she was right. I was actually able to relax and even fell asleep while I was in the chamber. I emerged feeling less stiff and in considerably less pain and was able to photograph the wedding the following day. Honestly, this felt like a miracle treatment. I was freaking out about what I was going to do and Holistic Hyperbarics saved my a$$. I'm so grateful for Alex's expert care and guidance throughout this experience. I highly recommend trying hyperbaric therapy, especially if you're recovering from an injury. read more

I've been coming to see Alex and the team for A few months in between hospital stays to address a myriad of chronic illness. We have focused on using Hyperbarics to help with my immune system and post-surgical care and it has been so amazing! Not only have I felt stronger and that I am recovering faster but the dives have helped with my over energy and wellbeing. As someone who has dealt with chronic illness for over a decade I am always looking for holistic ways to help my body deal with and recover from illness and I have found so much help and relief from my dives at Holistic Hyperbarics. I'm so grateful to know Alex and her team and to be able to benefit from Holistic Hyperbarics! read more

Came here to get into a hyperbaric chamber for the first time. Alex made sure to go over everything with me before entering the chamber. She is very knowledgeable and is more than willing to answer any questions you have. She stays with you as you take your dive to make sure everything goes smoothly. She was not joking about how many times you will have to pop your ears as you start to go down. Once at the optimal pressure there is no more popping of the ears and you're free to sleep, read, play on your phone, basically pretty much anything. You are always connected to her even if she is not in the room by radios. Now let me tell you about the chamber.. it is pretty big,comfortable, and it even have changing color lights! I was on my phone for probably ten mins and then decided I would nap. It was so easy to fall asleep because Alex provides you with a comfy blanket and pillow. At the end of the session you are given vitamins, refreshing water, and a hot towel for your face. I felt extremely refreshed. That night I had one of the best sleeps of my life, and felt even better the next day. I've had to study a ton for school, and the day after the chamber I felt way more focused while studying. I highly recommend coming here! read more

I am SO grateful to have found Holistic Hyperbarics. I had a bad fall that resulted in a gnarly concussion, 8 hrs of amnesia and a fractured shoulder. No matter what I did, the brain fog from the concussion wouldn't seem to go away. Then I found holistic hyperbarics! Not only are their prices waaaaay better than anywhere else, the staff was so welcoming and kind, the atmosphere warm, and after just 5 sessions my brain fog totally cleared- I am forever grateful. Highly highly recommend this amazing place! read more

What an incredible experience. Our situation is personal, so I won't share our reason for coming in... but ...what I will share is the knowledgeable and professional staff is a perfect start to the incredible visits. Also inviting is the beautiful aesthetics of the space and the details all the way down to the delicious fruit infused water in perfect glass bottles. So great full for this wonderful holistic space to be nurtured in energy and health. read more

Unlike anything I've ever done for myself before. It's a spa day, a time to power down (and up!), and a medical treatment all rolled into one. I don't slow down for much, which is part of my problem. I have a few chronic illnesses and over exert myself constantly. Things heal in me very slowly, and I have been battling inflammation for years. I wanted to try something different. A little background: my mother had Scleroderma. Back in the 80's when Hyperbarics Oxygen had become available to the public for medical use, she started treatment for about 6 months.Her skin glowed. It took about two treatments to heal her ulcerated skin and another couple to soften it after years of hardening. It was a new immune system for her. My mom became the healthiest (and happiest) she had been in years. Back then it ran thousands (if not tens of thousands) per treatment, so continuing was not an option. It's a shame because who knows what would've happened had she been able to continue! It definitely changed her life. That said, I knew going into Holistic Hyperbarics that I'd love it here. Alex and staff are lovely, knowledgeable, and professional. It's a beautiful space and the tanks are hella cozy. I went in with some reservations as to what I may achieve, but came out with the hopes to get a punch card for this place. For once my body got the support it clearly needs to help itself. Thanks Alex, for bringing this technology to us. I think it may change a lot of lives! 10 out of 10, will do again!! read more

I am in my mid-twenties and ever since I overdosed on sedatives 3 years ago, my life had never been the same. I had gotten off all substances shortly afterward, but the momentum I had in life was gone. When you overdose, oxygen flow cuts off to the brain. Most of the body can recover but I had severe emotional issues as well as poor attention span and memory because parts of my brain were supposedly dead and gone. I had to keep bizarre to-do lists but even then it felt like I was putting in 10 times as much work to hold down a career as my peers. I was also unsure of whether or not I would tell friends and family, it was getting to the point where it was hard to fake that there wasn't anything up. I was incredibly skeptical of hyperbaric treatments but I decided to go through with it because others with my specific issue of brain hypoxia had positive things to say. Worst case, I would have wasted my time. Best case I would get some gain. I did about 40 sessions under Alex's care and you can get the idea from the start that they are interested in the treatment itself and progress, not being judgemental or just trying to make money. About 2-3 months later, I cannot believe how much of a recovery I have made. Its life-changing to say the least. My memory, drive, attention, and overall function have returned to previous levels by at least 90%. I am hoping that I eventually get to 100% as its been 3 weeks since stopping treatment and I still feel that my brain is improving and picking up bit by bit. Its an eerie feeling to "feel" old parts of you turn back on. if you are someone with hypoxia or sedative induced overdose and brain damage as a result, I strongly urge you to consider this approach. I don't know if everyone will have my near life-changing experience, but Alex and her assistant Brody both tried their best from the get-go to make sure I never felt judged and try and get the most from Hyperbarics with the least side effects. Overall Holistic Hyperbarics is structured, forward, and interested in making these treatments available to everyone. I strongly urge you to look into it and consider if it will work for your condition. This place is the cheapest in the bay area by far read more

I suffer from chronic nerve pain so my doctor recommended that I try a hyperbaric chamber. I called first because I had a few questions and Alex was super helpful and pleasant! Getting scheduled was super easy. All of the staff were very welcoming and the experience was actually very cool. I look forward to getting more sessions in the future and I would definitely recommend everyone to try Holistic Hyperbarics! read more

Holistic Hyperbarics is the real deal . I've dreamed of getting this therapy and was overwhelmed that it was finally possible. speaking with Alex was very enlightening. First dive was on last Sunday and I felt like I was with family. Alex, Jordan & Sam are dynamite ! The clarity I've enjoyed is amazing, My body felt 20 years younger. looking forward to #2, And more healing. thanks again team. Piece of cake ! read more

I have long-haul COVID. And after spending a lot of time and money investing in appointments where they told me there's nothing they can do, or they don't believe me, HBOT and Holistic Hyperbarics have not only given me the quickest, most noticeable results, but they have a track record of treating patients like me and sending us back to full recovery. After 10 sessions, I see the light at the end of the tunnel. Some of my symptoms have already disappeared and I can spend most of the day feeling pretty good. I have 20 more sessions until I'm back to my old self. They also give a 20% off discount to community workers which really helped me afford these sessions. Can't recommend this place highly enough. Alex made me feel so comfortable and welcome. read more

As a veterinarian who has been treating patients with hyperbaric oxygen for years, this was my first personal experience inside a chamber. I can't say enough about the staff and the overall experience. My time in the chamber was relaxing and super comfortable and felt great. I would recommend Holistic Hyperbarics for anyone with an applicable medical condition, to help with aches and pains, or just for general relaxation. read more

This is a must try for someone with chronic pain or needs to recover after putting a lot of stress on your body. The space is so inviting and cozy. Alex explained everything you need to know about your session along with ways to help yourself in a moment of panic and ways to avoid panic from even happening. Their presences and knowledge is amazing which help me feel very well cared for. I haven't experienced the chamber yet my partner is in right now but just the experience of coming in and intake has put me at ease: Now to get an RX so I can try it too. First time session is about 90 mins Plus 15 min intake so beware where you park near this location a lot of San Pablo ave has 90min limit. Here is a picture of where to enter. read more

Exceptionally professional staff. Clean and well-maintained facility....very calming atmosphere. They also appear to be taking COVID very seriously and were keeping everything meticulously sanitized when I was there. read more

I was looking for a place that offered hyperbaric oxygen therapy and came across Holistic Hyperbarics. I had read about it online that it is a very good healing modality for a host of different ailments and a great anti-aging tool as well. I spoke with Alex, who owns and runs the business. She was very friendly, knowledgeable and informative. I booked 10 sessions and noticed a marked improvement in the level of inflammation in my body. My energy increased and I was sleeping much better. It has a very nice spa atmosphere and I plan on going back on a regular basis to help keep away the inflammation and pain that I have been suffering with. read more

So far a great Experience. Alex is wonderful and actually interested in making you feel better as a patient. She was very informative and was there every step through my first session. Has great prices and is truly trying to help vs taking your money. I would def recommend read more

I was desperately in search of a quality hyperbaric chamber business. I have to say Holistic Hyperbarics exceeded my expectations. There are three things that set this business apart from others: 1. Quality of care First and foremost, Alex, the owner, cares about people. Unlike so many other Bay Area CEO's, who only focus on dollar signs and bottom lines, Alex focuses on individuals and how to help them achieve wellness. Second, Alex has extensive background and training in HBOT therapy. She as well as her staff can calibrate/ operate every chamber at the spa and explain to you exactly how it works. You will never feel uncomfortable or concerned about your treatment. 2. Spa Environment Make no mistake, even though you go to Holistic Hyperbarics to receive HBOT treatments, you will get a Spa experience. Amenities include heated massage chairs, fruit/vegetable infused water, warm towels and light snacks. 3. Cost Unfortunately, so many CEOs that run hyperbaric businesses price the treatment out of reach for middle America. As I stated earlier, Holistic Hyperbarics is committed to helping you achieve your wellness goals, not making a quick buck. Treatments are priced competitively and compassionately. They offer discounts to educators firefighters and most people who work in the service industry. Reduced price package deals are also available. read more

My first experience was great! My body was hurting after my birthday so I decided to give this a shot (appointment only). It was so awesome!!! Alex was super friendly, ultra funny and mad helpful. She walked me through the whole process and I didn't even think I needed anything to be explained but I'm so glad she did because the process is super cool. Any who. If you're still reading this then just stop. Book an appointment and give it a shot! read more

I couldn't say more positive things about Alex, her staff and the beautiful spa itself! From the moment I booked my first appointment, I knew this place was someplace special and really cared about my health and mission to heal my body! The level of empathy and care that has gone into this business is unsurpassed and you are in good hands the moment you walk in the door. Thank you so much for everything, I couldn't have made it this far without Holistic Hyperbarics!! read more

I had an acute lower leg injury and found HH extremely helpful to my recovery time. Excellent service as well. read more

Let me start by saying that I am an avid climber. Holistic Hyperbarics has not only dramatically improved my recovery, but it has also improved my focus, general energy, and sleep. Alex has created a completely restorative and peaceful experience. She's amazing! I have come to learn that in order to be happy, energized, and balanced, I need to train. A lot. I climb and train 4 hours a day, 5 days a week. Unfortunately, I have not been as on top of my recovery as I have been my training. I've suffered various stress injuries throughout my climbing career from tendinitis to torn rotator cuffs. I am pretty over getting injured and not being able to do what I love, so I've decided to improve my "pre-hab" and recovery practices. . Thats where Holistic Hyperbarics comes in. Before my first session I absolutely wrecked myself at the gym (2 hours of climbing followed by weighted pulls in a calisthenic circuit, free weights, and a brutal core circuit). I was already sore come afternoon. Upon getting out of the chamber, however, I felt relaxed and calm and that night I had the best sleep I had in months. The next day I went climbing outside. I usually never train at the gym the two days before going outside in order to preserve my fingers and strength, but I felt completely fresh, even after having had such an intense session the day before. My second session at Holistic Hyperbarics came with the realization that I could sleep in the chamber. I usually have a hard time napping in the middle of the day, even when I really need it, but I fell into such a deep sleep that Alex had to knock against the chamber to wake me up! The last couple days, when I've had consistent sessions in the chamber, I have felt vitalized and fully restored. I initially went to Holistic Hyperbarics to improve my recovery, which it absolutely has. Not only has it gotten rid of soreness quickly, but I feel more explosive and powerful the next day. I have also experienced benefits from the therapy that I did not anticipate. I have been able to get up early feeling energized instead of resentful of my alarm. I have felt focused and productive, getting more tasks done throughout the day than I usually would. To top it all off, working with Alex has been an absolute pleasure. She is professional, confident, and very knowledgable. I have no doubts about trusting her throughout the course of the treatment. She is also incredibly nurturing, kind, and approachable. She has designed the entire experience to be almost spa-like. She has yummy snacks in the lobby, fresh juice and water, and even offers you a warm, damp towel at the end of your session! She is accommodating and genuinely wants you to have the most effective and peaceful experience she can give you. All in all, I've had a great experience at Holistic Hyperberics. I'm moving to LA this weekend, and I'll certainly miss getting treatment here. Thank you, so much Alex! read more

As someone who has functioning anxiety, depression & back pain I have been looking for solutions to the everyday battle. Through a friend, I found Holistic Hyperbarics. Hands down, one of the best healing techniques I've found so far. When first entering the facility I was overwhelmed with tranquility and calmness. The space is covered in plants, zen music & nice staff members. The staff is very knowledgeable and eased my nerves by educating and reassuring me how things are going to work. I was in the chamber to treat anxiety for an hour. When I got out I felt peace I have not felt in a long time. Everything was quiet and I was so calm. The calmness carried on into the next day along with a burst of natural energy. A week later my anxiety is still at an all time low. Truly grateful for this healing technique. I've invested a lot in my mental, physical and spiritual health. Spending time at Holistic Hyperbarics is the best investment I've made so far. 10/10, HIGHLY RECOMMEND. read more

Fantastic! First 90 minutes visit was amazing! The staff were very friendly, Instructions and communication was clear; and I was able to catch up on some rest during the process of replenishing my body. Can wait for my next visit. read more

Truly a phenomenal treatment. Alex is a consummate professional and is clearly an expert in her field. Staff was warm and friendly and set me at ease. Would highly recommend. read more

Anyone undergoing fertility treatment from IVF to egg freezing needs to come here for at least one session, esp if they are having trouble getting the results they want or are in a lot of discomfort - period. I began the process of egg freezing in September and wish I had come to Holistic Hyperbarics then instead of toward the end of my procedure in October only because of the noticeable, immediate results I experienced. I live with fibromyalgia, a musculoskeletal condition with fatigue and pain sensitivity - needless to say, the daily injections and body changing I was going thru were taking a toll both physically & emotionally. I also had one ovary that was - well - not producing up to expectations. I was really scared that this expensive, invasive procedure was going to yield a low number of eggs, which at my age and financial level was heartbreaking to fathom. I read online that oxygen therapy can help boost egg development and although the science convinced me, the prices kept me at bay. I was already shelling out thousands and while I was prepared to incur the debt of the procedure itself, "add ons" felt out of reach. Finally, after floating the idea to my doctor & keeping in mind that several hundred dollars is way less than another full round of IVF-style egg freezing, I contacted HH. I was really stressed, nervous and unconvinced, frankly, but I was ready to try and keep my expectations realistic. After two sessions (which I was able to easily book very last minute btw) my abdominal muscles were more relaxed, my back & neck were pain free, my mood was more even, and my sleep was STELLAR. And 12 out of 13 of my eggs reached maturity! Totally exceeded my doc's initial expectations of 5-8!! Shout out to owner extraordinaire Alex, who both made me feel comfortable, heard, and well cared for. Above & beyond does not begin to describe the patience and communication this team possesses. I knew instantly I was in good hands but again, the results proved that by themselves. read more

This is a fun review to write because my opinion of this place started out quite skeptical and really turned around for the better as I got to know them over the summer of 2019. BACKGROUND: I have chronic Lyme, Bartonella and Babesia infections, diagnosed in 2004, and eventually started the Buhner herbal protocol. I got very sick and was unemployed and bedridden for a good portion of that time, and barely remember it. After a couple of years of that and some improvements but not as much progress as I had hoped, I switched doctors and tried prescription antibiotics alone for a few years, with testing every 3-4 months and switching up the exact drugs a couple times a year. I got much better, tested negative for Bartonella and then Babesia multiple times, but then as I got to the cyst-busting stage of the Lyme treatment, all hell broke loose and it all came back very aggressively. It was at this backsliding low point I become terrified and knew I needed something more. So, I decided to do everything I could simultaneously: 1) prescription antibiotics 2) herbal antibiotics 3) chiropractic and soft tissue bodywork, AND 3) hyperbaric oxygen. I found Holistic Hyperbarics as the nearest center, since I did some research and figured I would need a lot of sessions, the proximity was important. Unfortunately it was right in the middle of their move, so there was some confusion and I showed up at the old location, not happy. But I called Alex and she paid for my Uber and made it right. I'm glad I stuck through that rocky start, because the HBOT started to bring benefits after just a few sessions. PERSONAL HBOT EXPERIENCE: I had had severe "spasticity" (unconscious muscle tension) along my left side for years, which affect my gait and ability to do many household chores with my hands, sometimes even typing. After my third HBOT session in 10 or so days, I felt something amazing - it started to relax. I excitedly wrote my doctor that it felt like I had released a silent scream and the mental and physical tension were dissappearing. She mentioned that this was likely due to a CNS/brain problem resolving with oxygen, and she started recommending HBOT to more of her patients. My chiropractor also immediately noticed the difference when he laid hands on my back, "what did you do? You feel like a totally different person!" He was surprised to see such improvement so rapidly. He spent an hour every week with me getting me to rebalance my gait and working out my many soft tissues adhesions. Little by little I got more range of movement and started to exercise again. I completed a course of 40 HBOT sessions, usually going 3-5 times per week, to 2.4 ATM for 75 minutes (after acclimation). I started sleeping better, and working more (consulting part-time) as my mind came back. My sense of humor and other quirky aspects of my personality also came back! I started doing long hikes in the Oakland hills, then my chiro cleared me to try running! I am 52 and thought my running days were over long ago, but soon I was doing 5-mile trail runs on steep and rocky terrain! (as I had in my 30s) Professionally, I have also been gaining momentum, with a new challenging full time job. So far, it's going well. It's been about 6 months since I started HBOT, and 3 months since I stopped doing it intensively, and the changes have been largely durable. I still pop in one every week or two to stay tuned up and resolve the ever-changing aches and pains as I continue to progress with my antibiotics. Overall, my life now is very manageable. I cannot ever promise this will happen for anyone else since there is such a vast difference in every Lyme case, and I was doing so many interventions at once, but I am very, very thankful I found Holistic Hyperbarics! I also love the space and the people, Alex is an inspiration to me in many ways, and I always look forward to catching up when I'm there. WHAT TO EXPECT: I was an avid scuba diver previously, so I knew I would have no trouble clearing my ears. The sessions are pleasant and relaxing, you just put on the mask when they tell you you are at your depth, and usually I read a book or papers for work (no electronics at my deep depth) -- also I use colored pencils since pens will explode when you come out. I didn't get bad herx headaches from this, but would frequently feel little stings and burns in my known Lyme spots that passed quickly and moved around. Immediately after a session, I always had to hit the bathroom due to bladder pressure, and feel a little lightheaded which went away in 10 minutes or so. When I got home I was very hungry and wolfed down anything in the fridge, then a bit tired (I take this as a sign my immune system is very busy). The next day I would be full of energy and ready to go again. I think consecutive days, once you work up to them, are very helpful. read more

Alex and everyone there are always very professional yet personable, such a unique balance of excellent customer service ! (wished more Bay Area businesses would take the hint !!!) The location, both inside and out are very welcoming and you can tell lots of love, care and experience has been poured in. I walk in feeling ragged, torn & grumpy and walk out feeling refreshed and ready to face another obstacle. Thank you !! read more

I LOVE this place and the people who run it. I am beyond grateful that I found it as I have NO DOUBT that utilizing their Healing Oxygen Chambers will bring me back to full health in a short period of time. I was pleasantly surprised at how roomy the chambers are, I can actually sit up in them and I am quite tall. They also give you a walkie to take inside the chamber with you so that you are always in contact with the team and never feel alone. I find the experience very relaxing and peaceful and I tend to take the opportunity when in the chambers to have a siesta. I am so over the top impressed by Alex and her team. It is clear to me that Alex is passionate about helping people to heal, to reclaim their life. She is extremely knowledgeable and works closely with a couple of medical doctors to ensure all your healing needs are fully and completely met. You can tell that Alex is in it for the compassionate service to others. Alex's prices are the best in the Bay Area as is her customer care and service. Alex's mission is to make this treatment accessible to everyone and not just the uber wealthy and she is doing it.. Alex's Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Medical Spa is super easy to access, just a few minutes of the freeway and has plenty of parking. Alex and her team have created a healing oasis. Just walking into their Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Medical Spa makes me feel so much better. She has lots of beautiful plants everywhere, stunning moss walls/art, zero gravity chairs, it is so beautiful and you can tell she put her heart and soul into it. After treatment you receive two fresh, clean hot towels and vitamins along with purified water. If you are considering receiving this treatment I would say run rather than walk to Alex's Hyperbaric Oxygen Medical Spa, whether it's for a sports injury, autoimmune disorder or a serious medical condition Alex will take care of you in the best way possible. read more

After 4 treatments of oxygen therapy, felt like I never had surgery. I was referred by my co-worker for post-op laparoscopy surgery recovery. Alex and her medical team are very friendly and helpful. The facility is COVID safe and very clean. The chambers are cozy and spacious. They provide plenty of pillows and blankets if you need them for comfort. After every treatment the staff provides you spa water and fresh hot towels. If I can give a million stars to this amazing place I would. I recommend this place for anyone looking for oxygen therapy. read more

I can't say enough about Alex & the crew at Holistic Hyperbarics. With HBOT & the NEW offerings of brain training with Neurofeedback & Qeeg, Im looking forward to not only healing an old brain injury, but also healing the trauma too. I wasn't exactly sure what HBOT was until I happened upon Alex's Clinic in Oakland. Upon entering, the studio has a spa like feel , with an open air space covered in plants, comfy chairs, a down to earth staff, you instantly feel like you are at home. Alex is so supportive, insightful, and very attentive to your needs and concerns. I wasn't sure how my body would deal with the pressure in the tank, and after Alex explained the process, I was reassured and took a DIVE! It's a glorious experience. Sinking in, get acquainted to the tank filled with body pillows, & blankets. You reach your dive and breathe fresh 100% oxygen, while nestled in and fully relaxed! I was in heaven, and wanted more. Since I had decided on Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy to heal an old TBI incident, Alex also introduced me to "Brain Training" thru QEEG and Neurofeedback. It's the newest offering at Holistic Hyperbarics! Not only is Alex healing me from an old TBI thru oxygen, but now we are literally mapping out inconsistencies within my brain waves, and training those areas to become stable by brain training, These cute little child like games our brains love to play. They are working with a Neuroscientist, and after discussing the results of my Brain Map with him. Not only can they help cure old TBI, they can also train your brain & treat ADHD, ADD, PTSD, Depression, Anxiety, Sleep and MORE! Just watching my brain learn by progressing in these games is literally mind blowing. You can see progress instantly, and it's truly remarkable that you can, in a sense, bio hack your brain to better health. Andrew Hill, the Doctor Alex is working with, explains the whole process to you as he asses the results of your Brain Map. It's an incredible amount of information in a short period of time. After you get your results then Alex does the training specific to your needs. The Games are simple, and the process is easy enough to understand, Your brain does the work as you sit there and watch it. It's fascinating! I have been doing the Neurofeedback brain training for about a month and can definitely see progress and changes i probably don't even realize. I am excited to see the results and cannot thank Alex enough for her kind effort, support, and direction. You are truly changing my life, in a way i never knew possible. I cannot thank you enough! I recommend Holistic Hyperbarics to anyone who is interested in not only healing your Body but healing your Mind! This place is Amazing! read more
