From cryotherapy to hyperbaric oxygen therapy, the list of treatments offered at Soma House reads like a sci-fi novel, but this ain’t fiction. Soma House has brought the latest in wellness tech to our doorstep in Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire.

Shortly before the Soma House project began, co-founder Chloe Kempson moved back home from Los Angeles, where she had been living and experiencing wellness California-style. Across the pond, treatments like cryotherapy, red-light therapy, IV and hyperbaric oxygen treatment are part of daily life for many – and now the treatments are becoming accessible and affordable across the world.

Soma House is at the forefront of that movement in the UK, after Chloe and her mother Ann turned a converted barn near High Wycombe into a microcosm of serenity and wellness just off the M40. No mean feat!

The word ‘cryotherapy’ might remind you of a particular Austin Powers film, and while it might not be able to stop you aging completely as the film suggests, heading into a super-cold chamber (that’s a chilly -125°C) can certainly slow it down. Soma also offers sessions in a hyperbaric oxygen chamber. The benefits? An hour in the chamber has been proven to increase energy, enhance cognitive function, reduce stress, improve sleep and counteract the signs of aging. And if you want to boost collagen production (don’t we all), then red-light therapy is your friend. As well as improving skin tone and texture, it gives your circulation a healthy boost into the bargain. They also offer compression therapy, bespoke IV drips and Bone Density testing.

These cutting-edge treatments used to be futuristic fables, but Soma House has turned them into a reality for Bucks residents since opening in July 2024. Plus, Soma has a partnership with The Marlow Club down the road – if you’re a member of this fabulous gym (one of the best in the area), you’ll get discounts on your treatments at Soma House.

Sounds like a win-win to us. Try it out for yourself – and watch the years roll away.
