#26: Bringing Wellness to Vintage Park: Meet the Team Behind Houston’s New Studio

Houston, we have… a float tank. And a sauna. And a cold plunge. And a dreamy lounge for date nights and group spa parties. 

If you've been driving through Vintage Park wondering what that float therapy coming soon banner is all about, this is your official invitation inside.

Our brand-new Altered States Wellness Houston location is open and already making waves (pun intended). But what makes this studio so special isn’t just the infrared heat or the mineral-rich float tanks. It’s the people.

In our latest episode of Altered States Unplugged, we sat down with franchise owner Justin Kennington and General Manager Jamie Allison to talk about the buildout process, their vision for Houston, and what guests can expect the moment they walk through the door.

Why Vintage Park? Why Now?

Wellness in Houston isn’t just trending, it’s transforming. With more people looking for drug-free ways to reduce anxiety, sleep better, and actually enjoy their lives, Justin and Jamie knew this was the perfect place to build something special.

Justin brings years of experience in the tech world, but his fascination with neuroscience and human performance is what led him to Altered States. 

Jamie is the magic-maker. With a background in customer service, she’s the warm, welcoming energy you feel the second you walk into the studio. Together, they’ve created more than just a wellness space, they’ve built a community hub for people who are ready to feel like themselves again.

What to Expect Inside Altered States Wellness Houston

Let’s talk about the vibe. Because yes, you’ll be recharging your nervous system and detoxing like a pro, but you’ll also be doing it in serious style.

Here’s a peek inside:

  • Themed float suites you can actually stand in (goodbye, claustrophobia) with twinkling starlight ceilings, calming guided meditations, and that zero-gravity magic you didn’t know your nervous system needed.
  • Fire & Ice contrast therapy in private sauna and cold plunge rooms—complete with vitamin C-infused showers that leave your skin feeling silky-smooth.
  • The Lab—our cutting-edge recovery room featuring red light therapy, PEMF, and compression boots for deep, cellular-level restoration.
  • The Dreamscape Lounge—think cozy-chic hangout meets spa day. Perfect for date nights or group parties with charcuterie, champagne, and chill vibes all around.

Whether you’re coming in to calm your anxiety, boost your performance, or just need a break from Houston traffic, we’ve got you.

What You'll Hear in the Episode

We won’t spoil it all, but in this behind-the-scenes chat with Justin and Jamie, you’ll learn:

  • What it’s really like building a wellness studio from scratch
