✨ A Little Reintroduction ✨
Hi! I'm Alicia, the owner and founder of FLOAT Chautauqua, Chautauqua County’s first floatation therapy center.
If you are new here, welcome! 🤗 I thought it was the perfect time to re-introduce myself.
I'm the proud mom of two adult daughters and two teenage boys (and with boys, I mean life is filled with sarcastic comments, power equipment, stained socks, an empty refrigerator, and fishing lures that somehow end up in car seats...and occasionally in a hand!). I am also "Mema" to the sweetest little grandson, who has completely stolen my heart.
In 2022, I opened FLOAT Chautauqua with one simple dream…to create a place where people could slow down, recharge, and feel supported in their wellness journey.
Since then, that passion has only grown. I have returned to school, pursuing my Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling💚. I'll admit, I didn’t think I would be writing papers and doing homework again…but it has been one of the most rewarding decisions I have made. It has also reinforced something that has been at the heart of FLOAT Chautauqua from the very beginning: wellness isn't a luxury…it is something we all deserve to prioritize.
Whether that is physically, mentally, or emotionally, we all deserve spaces and tools that help us feel our best.
Lately, I have also been diving into the latest research on floatation therapy and magnesium, and it has given me an even greater appreciation for its potential to support people living with chronic health conditions as part of a whole-person approach to wellness.
I am excited about what we’re continuing to learn and how FLOAT Chautauqua can continue to serve our community. Thank you for trusting me and supporting this little dream of mine. It truly is an honor to be part of your wellness journey.
💙 I would love to get to know you, too! If we know each other, tell me how we met! Or if you have floated with us, I would love to hear about your experience.
XOXO,
Alicia 🩵
