ANDRE UPSHAW - SALES ASSOCIATE
aupshaw@sunlighten.com
What I really do for a living: I have learned that infrared therapy is truly a natural wonder of the world. My job is to just make sure that visitors don’t miss a thing when they come here to learn about it. I’m excited to talk about infrared saunas and the healthy energy the therapy has brought into my life. I love to spend my time actively with some great friends or relaxing with a (hopefully) great book. I split my time between being up and moving or relaxed and quiet. Using the sauna gives me a chance to do one while I improve my health and body to do the other. Heart. Body. Mind. It’s perfect.
