It is said that while one
is experiencing flotation
therapy, the mind is set
free to wander without the
distractions of daily life,
and at times inspiration can
strike.
For Fayetteville-based
veteran Nicole Walcott, who
sought the experimental
therapy as a way of relieving
the chronic pain she was
suffering after a long
career in the military, that
inspiration came in the form
of a business idea: What if
she brought the therapy that
had given her so much relief
back to Fayetteville to offer
an option for all of the other
veterans who were also living
with pain?
