Services We Offer

My name is Mandy LaFavor. I was raised in Bakersfield, California, in a hardworking middle-class family that taught me perseverance, grit, humility, and above all, gratitude for what you have, because life can change in an instant.

I purchased CryoFloat360 because of my son, Austyn.

After Austyn was involved in a serious motorcycle accident, my family was suddenly thrown into a world of pain, recovery, uncertainty, and the desperate search for healing beyond prescriptions and temporary fixes. I began looking for therapies that supported the body’s natural ability to heal, not because I was building a business plan, but because I was trying to help my son. That search led me here. What started as a mother fighting for her child’s healing became something much bigger, a purpose.

But life has a way of humbling you in ways you never see coming.

Looking back, I understand something now that I wish I had understood then. In the urgency of treating Austyn’s physical injuries, the deeper wounds, the invisible ones, were quietly overlooked. His mental health was carrying a weight that could not be seen on scans, measured in tests, stitched, casted, or medicated away. We fought so hard for his physical healing, and like so many families, we did not fully see the silent battle happening within him.

Then, only six months after purchasing CryoFloat360, my life changed forever.

My son died by suicide. He hung himself.

I say that plainly because truth matters. Some people may assume his death was tied to addiction or overdose because of his motorcycle accident and the pain he endured, but that is not what happened. His death was suicide.

No parent should ever have to bury their child.

That kind of loss changes you. It places you into a club no one ever wants to join, one built on grief, unanswered questions, and a pain so deep it settles into your bones. It becomes part of who you are. You learn to carry it, but you never stop carrying it.

His last words were:

“Everything will be okay.”

Those words live in me now.

They carry me on days when grief feels heavy. They remind me that even in unimaginable pain, there can still be purpose.

One of the greatest truths life has taught me is this:

You never know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory.

There are ordinary moments I would give anything to relive, one more conversation, one more laugh, one more hug, one more chance to say everything left unsaid. Loss teaches you quickly what truly matters, and it teaches you that healing is not linear. Healing is messy. Healing is painful. Healing is deeply personal.

I have learned to live by these words:

Accept what is.

Let go of what was.

Have faith in what will be.

That does not mean forgetting.

That does not mean the pain disappears.

It means choosing to keep living with purpose.

After losing him, there were days when breathing felt heavy and simply getting through the day felt impossible. One of the things that continues to help me most is float therapy. In the stillness, silence, and weightlessness, I find something I desperately need, space to grieve, space to think, and space to quiet the noise that grief can place on the mind and heart. For a little while, the crushing weight of pain becomes lighter.

Float therapy is not just something I offer at CryoFloat360, it is something I personally rely on. It remains a meaningful part of my healing, my recovery, and my reset for life.

I have also seen how other therapies can help support mental wellness. Whole body cryotherapy can help elevate mood and reduce inflammation linked to stress on the body. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy can support brain health, clarity, and recovery. Red light therapy promotes restoration and relaxation. Sometimes healing begins by simply giving the body and mind a chance to reset, recharge, and breathe.

That is what CryoFloat360 is to me.

Not some fancy boutique wellness club.

Not a polished brand pretending life is perfect.

Not a place built by people who have never known pain.

We are human here.

We understand struggle.

We understand grief.

We understand loss.

We understand stress, heartbreak, anxiety, and what it feels like when simply getting through the day takes everything you have.

Most importantly, we understand that sometimes people do not need advice.

Sometimes they do not need fixing.

Sometimes they simply need someone to listen.

If you are a parent grieving the loss of a child, someone mourning the death of a loved one, someone carrying the pain of losing a relationship or connection with someone who is still alive, or simply someone silently suffering in ways the world cannot see, I want you to know this:

You do not have to carry that pain alone.

At CryoFloat360, we are here not only to help people heal physically, but to listen, to hold space, and to remind people that their life matters.

If I can be there for another parent walking the impossible road of child loss, for someone grieving suicide loss, for someone whose heart is broken by separation, or for even one person silently battling pain within themselves, then that matters.

If sharing my story helps even one person hold on, ask for help, choose one more day, or simply feel seen, then my pain has found purpose.

Then Austyn’s life continues to matter in a way that reaches beyond tragedy and becomes hope for someone else.

If there is one word that defines how I choose to live, it is gratitude.

Gratitude for life.

Gratitude for love.

Gratitude for strength.

And gratitude for every moment, because one day, it becomes a memory.

That is who I am.

That is why CryoFloat360 exists.

And that is how I choose to honor my son.
