Oxy-Spa (Local Business) in Fishers, Indiana

Does Hyperbaric treatments help Austic children? I'm not sure I'm qualified to answer this, but I have a friend who has a beautiful daughter Maddy who is austic. Her and her husband opened Oxy-Spa in Fishers, Indiana a few years ago. Louann (shown below right) is an Esthetician; someone who specializes in skin care and treatment. Their spa also has hair dressers and manicurists and others to round out a wonderful experience. Louann, owner of Oxy Spa

Oxy-Spa also has is a hyperbaric chamber that supplies oxygen to the body at a cellular level. This can allow benefits to the body that include a decrease in swelling and inflammation and can have a positive effect on blood flow. They have seen improvements in their daughters behaviors and learning and attribute the success to time in the hyperbaric chamber.

Hyperbaric Chamber

The mild hyperbaric chamber uses filtered ambient air, so there is no risk of oxygen toxicity to the body even with regular use. The chamber can be depressurized and opened from the inside.


Once inside the chamber, both visual and verbal communication is possible with the outside, and there is also a buzzer for help. Most people report a comfortable, relaxing experience and emerge from the chamber feeling refreshed.This treatment is non-invasive, non-pharmaceutical, and there are no dangerous side effects.

Schools in Fishers, Indiana

There was a State of the Schools address recently for Fishers, Indiana. It is August and still very hot here. But, what I am noticing over the last few days is SCHOOL BUSES. So it is back to school time here; I want to take a moment to tell you about the schools in Fishers, Indiana.

Fishers Indiana Schools

The Fishers, Indiana schools are based on several key priniciples:

  1. Having high expectations
  2. Having prinicpals in the Fisher Schools that are focused on staff development and curriculum development.
  3. Having "Learning" as its focus
  4. Being results driven (looking at scores, surveys, etc and making changes)
  5. Having a climate for success (loving, safe, clean, innovative, helpful, etc)

The schools in Fishers, Indiana have grown from an enrollment of 8,777 in 2000 to just over 17,000 in 2008. They are projected to have over 20,000 in 2013! Fishers, Indiana is one of the most sought after communities around the country because of the school system. Of the 18 schools, 11 of them were classified as exemplary and the other 7 were within 1% of that classification. They were 200 points above the national average for SAT scores in 2007. Over 85% of the seniors last year in the schools in Fishers said they were bound for a 4 year college.

The challenges ahead for Fishers, Indiana schools are capacity for high schools students (there were 1,528 1st graders and 965 seniors last year!), redistricting with the opening of the new Riverside Intermediate (5-8th grade); and finding a qualified new superintendent. These are not easy challenges, but if previous success in decision making and moving a school system forward are any indication, the schools in Fishers, Indiana are likely to move through these current challenges with flying colors.

Nickel Plate in Fishers Indiana

Nickel Plate Bar and RestaurantIf you are in Fishers, Indiana you need to have lunch at the Nickel Plate Bar and Grill located on 116th just behind the fair train station. The Nickel Plate is also know as the Indiana Steelers venue because the owners are huge Pittsburgh Steeler fans (we don't hold that against them though!). You can see from the picture that it is not your typical restaurant; the people you see eating outside are in an area that is pretty much wide open; at night garage doors close those areas. You can get typical bar food at this restaurant, but an unusual item that is quite yummy is the bison burger.

You can also see from the picture the old fashion light posts that line the streets of Fishers and the cobblestone side walks! The downtown Fishers area is truly a step back in time with the train station, the cobblestone, the architecture of the buildings, the snow cone shop and other ageless venues. You will also find lots of people on the streets each night milling around and re-connecting with each other. It is no surprise that Fishers was named the number one place in the country to raise a family.
