We want you to experience the best. Rainier Hyperbaric offers state of the art Sechrist hard shell monoplace chambers for individual Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) to enhance the body’s ability to fight infections and improve the rate of healing.
In 2022, under new ownership, Mt Rainier Clinic became Rainier Hyperbaric. Our new location is conveniently located just across the highway from St. Anthony’s Hospital in Gig Harbor, where we will continue to serve patients throughout the greater Pierce and Kitsap County areas as we have for the last two decades.
This non-invasive therapy is the most trusted way to increase oxygen levels to all vital organs, and to increase the formation of new blood vessels to intensify and accelerate your body’s natural healing abilities.
After a 17 year career as a Wealth Financial Advisor helping create peace and stability in one’s retirement years I realized if you don’t make time for your wellness, you will be forced to make time for your illness. I needed to find balance and health in my own life and wanted to continue to help others as I started on my own wellness journey. It has always been important for me to make an impact in my community, as well as, set an example for other women to discover their endless possibilities when it comes to achievements and goals.
It’s never too late to reinvent yourself and start something new. Hard shell Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy, HBOT, has been used for decades around the world in treatments centers, clinical trials and research and yet, is still greatly unknown, by general medical professionals here in the US. My goal is to continue to make HBOT accessible to anyone who is looking for a safe, natural, drug-free way to deal with many health challenges, stay healthy as we age and bring you to a better plateau of health and well being.
In my free time my wife, Teagan, and I love to paddleboard, hike, camp and fly our Cessna 170B to fun off airport adventures.
