Today we’d like to introduce you to Stacey Millhorn.
Hi Stacey, it’s an honor to have you on the platform. Thanks for taking the time to share your story with us – to start maybe you can share some of your backstory with our readers.
I have been in the pharmaceutical industry since 1997. I suffer from chronic pain, including arthritis, which led to a full shoulder replacement in my early 40s. During my journey of chronic pain, I was given medication after medication, such as anti-inflammatories, muscle relaxers, and sleeping pills. I sought out an infrared sauna for the inflammatory and pain relief benefits. Using the sauna relieves pain without the use of medication for me.
Additionally, I found numerous other benefits, like detoxification, improved mental health, and glowing skin while using full-spectrum infrared sauna regularly. When we moved to Utah two years ago, I could not find anything like the Pure Sweat + Float Studio experience. Other places with infrared sauna, or float therapy, had a sterile or medicinal feel. Our studio full-spectrum infrared saunas and a float suite, which is not a pod. The services are private and customizable.
Can you talk to us about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way? Looking back, would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
As with all new businesses, finding the right location and creating a space from a vision can be challenging. I believe the biggest challenge to overcome is education about the numerous benefits of full-spectrum infrared sauna and float therapy.
As you know, we’re big fans of you and your work. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about what you do?
Our studio is a wellness retreat with custom full-spectrum infrared saunas by Sunlighten using far, mid, and near-infrared wavelengths during each session. Additionally, each sauna is equipped with chromotherapy that offers additional health benefits to the sauna session. Our saunas offer private sessions or can be shared with a friend/loved one, and we also offer resistance bands, hand weights, and muscle rollers to enhance the customizable experience.
Our float suite is large enough to accommodate two people to float together because it’s 7 feet tall and 7 feet long. Unlike a pod, there are stars on the ceiling and no lid that closes on top of you. The water contains 1500 pounds of medical-grade Epsom salt, so you float effortlessly similar to the Dead Sea. Our float suite is unique because most float pods can only be used by one person or feel like a confined space. Our suite is large enough to accommodate two people if desired and is accessed through a door in the wall versus closing a lid.
The studio also has a spa-like setting, complete with a beautifully-designed Wellness Lounge featuring highly-curated products to enhance the health journey, that’s very welcoming and relaxing for our clients both pre- and post-session.
Pure Sweat is different because we are about more than just a sweat. I take great pride in sharing these modalities with our community to either enhance a client’s wellness journey or to guide someone through the discovery of the modalities, to learn how they improve their overall physical and mental health.
What do you like and dislike about the city?
We have visited Park City for over 20 years primarily for spring skiing. During COVID, we decided to temporarily live in the Park City area to determine if it was a place we would want to live permanently.
My husband and I were raised in Florida, so we were unsure about living in four seasons, especially a real winter with snow!
We love that the area offers year-round activities. The people are like-minded and enjoy spending time outdoors living a healthy lifestyle.
