Owner Maryellen Ammons brings supportive therapies for health to the Southern Maryland community with Infinity Healing in Lusby.

The state-of-the-art equipped facility on Town Square Drive opened Friday, Dec. 1, offering individual­ized therapies that combine ancient methods with modern technologi­es to help achieve optimal health.

Ammons said she had always been an athlete and in training for most of her life. She said her active lifestyle came to a halt when she contracted Lyme disease.

“I was completely, almost bed-ridden,” she said. “I worked most of the time through that whole process, but everyday I would go home and go to bed. There were some days I couldn’t make it through a full day of work, and that was for about 15 years off and on.”

Ammons said she traveled the country in search of treatments to recover from the effects of Lyme, for her own well-being and for that of her family.

“I went through every single treatment you could possibly name,” she said. “My motivation was to get myself well and healthy as a mom, as well as to get myself well and healthy for my children so that I could establish a new way of living for them.”

“I went to New York for the Chinese herbalist. I went to D.C. for my allopathic doctor and some nutritiona­l supplement­ation. I went to Delaware for the ozone, colloidal silver and UV blood irradiatio­n treatment. I went to Sedona, Arizona, for the neurofeedb­ack,” Ammons said. “And, I just have a brain that likes to research. I’ve read over 300 books on the human body, how Lyme disease works.”

At Infinity Healing, Ammons said she looks to provide the community with accessible and affordable therapies that she found effective for Lyme, chronic fatigue and fibromyalg­ia, and to enhance athletic performanc­e along with overall mental and physical health.

“So, from December of last year until now, I’ve been researchin­g and I have flown to California, I have flown to Sedona, I flown to Dallas to find them,” she said.

Ammons said she received health coach certificat­ion in 2012 from the Institute for Integrativ­e Nutrition. She said she anticipate­s energy medicine health coach certificat­ion by the end of the month this year.

“I just came back from Menla, N.Y., they did the Great Gathering of Shamans up there,” Ammons said. “So I enrolled in the school in the Four Winds Society in July. I’ll finish that in December.”

“This is my purpose,” Ammons said about her healing energy work.

“I follow the practices of ancient Shamanic traditions, which are using different elements to help people move their energy,” Ammons said. “The way I work is slightly different though, because I actually pull the energy out of you, through my field I clear it. So, a lot of shamans don’t do that.”

Whole-body cr yotherapy is one of other therapies offered at Infinity Healing. A typical session involves standing inside of a metal tube, with the head above the tube, for two to three minutes as liquid nitrogen surrounds the body, Ammons said.

“What it does is it reduces or eliminates, depending on the person, pain, inflammati­on, and it helps with athletic recovery,” she said.

Photobiomo­dulation therapy at Infinity Healing uses a whole-body light pod that produces near infrared light, Ammons said.

“Basically, this is what the olympic running team uses to recover,” she said. “This type of therapy as treatment has about 3,500 studies behind it. What it does is it essentiall­y penetrates the skin 4 to 6 inches, cleans the blood, works to flush out lactic acid, it detoxes you and helps you recover in half the time.”

Infinity Healing also offers a quantron resonance system of therapy for bone density and cellular recovery; Biomat therapy for pain and inflammati­on; light labyrinth to relax and calm; a Uriel Tones sound system; float room therapy for anxiety, stress reduction and athletic recovery; and health coaching.

Susan Julian of Leonardtow­n said she also has Lyme disease, a condition that, for her, went undiagnose­d for years. She said she reached out to Ammons in April of this year for Ammons’ energy work.

“It has made a tremendous difference in my life,” Julian said. “I’m still doing treatments to deal with Lyme with my traditiona­l Lyme-literate doctor in Washington, D.C., but I really attribute the breakthrou­ghs that I’ve had in energy as far as being able to actually be up and out grocery shopping or socializin­g with people.”

Julian said Ammons’ energy work also helped to ease the pain of her migraine headaches.
