Founder’s Story

In 2020, I became seriously ill with a bacterial infection that sent me to the emergency room with colitis. What followed was months of leaky gut, chronic pain, chronic inflammation, and relentless fatigue. The doctors offered prescriptions, but no real solutions—and I knew I didn’t want to spend my life dependent on medication.

Instead, I turned to holistic wellness. I studied, experimented, and slowly rebuilt my health through contrast therapy, red light, hyperbaric oxygen, nutrition, and a toxin-free lifestyle. I not only recovered—I regained a vitality I thought I had lost forever.

That journey lit a fire in me. My dream became clear: to bring these same tools of recovery and longevity to the community I love—Oak Park, River Forest, and Forest Park. HEAL is the realization of that dream: a place where people can find hope, strength, and a path to living stronger… longer.

About HEAL Wellness + Longevity

At HEAL, our mission is to help people live stronger, longer. We focus on longevity by combining evidence-based wellness protocols with a toxin-free environment designed to support recovery, resilience, and vitality. Our goal is not simply to help clients feel better in the moment, but to give them tools to optimize health for decades to come.

Who We Are

HEAL – The Center for Wellness & Longevity is a first-of-its-kind wellness and biohacking facility in Forest Park. Our center provides access to therapies that promote circulation, cellular repair, nervous system balance, and long-term performance.

We offer:

  • Thermal Contrast Therapy Suites with full-spectrum infrared saunas, precision-cooled cold plunges, and toxin-free rainfall showers

  • Red Light / PEMF Fusion Therapy for cellular rejuvenation, circulation, and collagen stimulation

  • Hyperbaric Oxygen Chamber (HBOC) for enhanced oxygenation and cellular repair

  • IV Drip Therapy & Nutritional Supplementation to optimize hydration and metabolic function

  • Curated Biohacking Gear to extend the benefits beyond the center

  • Personalized Wellness Plans to guide our guests in building long-term health strategies

Our Toxin-Free Commitment

Longevity requires more than advanced therapies—it requires a safe environment free from harmful chemicals. At HEAL, we make all of our cleaners in-house using toxin-free formulations. Every surface, towel, and shower product is selected or created to ensure that nothing disrupts the body’s natural healing processes.

  • Rainfall showers are filtered to remove chlorine, fluoride, pesticides, and heavy metals.

  • Towels are 100% organic cotton, washed in non-toxic detergents.

  • Facility cleaners are all produced in-house and free of toxic chemicals.

HEAL is more than a wellness center—it is a toxin-free ecosystem dedicated to helping your body repair and thrive.

Our Longevity Philosophy

We believe that modern medicine excels at treating emergencies, but is not designed to optimize daily health or extend healthspan. At HEAL, we focus on prevention, recovery, and performance:

  • Circulation & Oxygenation for heart and vascular health

  • Inflammation Control for joint, muscle, and long-term resilience

  • Nervous System Balance to reduce stress and improve sleep quality

  • Cellular Repair to slow the effects of aging

  • Daily Optimization to keep you performing at your best—physically and mentally

Everything we offer is rooted in the core belief of longevity: with the right tools and environment, you can feel like you’re 30, even when you’re 80.

We proudly serve The Oak Park, River Forest and Forest Park community. Our members include athletes, professionals, and health enthusiasts seeking to extend vitality, manage stress, and invest in their long-term health.

At HEAL, every detail—from the treatments and services we offer to the cleaners we produce and use—is designed with one purpose: to extend your healthspan and enhance your quality of life.

HEAL is where wellness meets longevity—safely, effectively, and toxin-free.
