Here at Sunlighten, we are so fortunate to be able to help so many. The feedback we receive from our customers is amazing and energizing! In fact, we often share “thank yous” with associates over large screens scattered around the office.

Recently, Sunlighten associate Aaron Hetherington (that’s him over there in the photo) received a really great email from customer Diana Carr. Diana suffers from Lyme disease and uses a Sunlighten infrared sauna to help alleviate her painful symptoms.

The Sunlighten team feels an awful lot like a family most days. Which, I guess, makes Connie and Aaron Zack the mom and dad of this eclectic bunch?! I’ll probably get some grief for that statement. Let’s just say they’re like our really cool brother and sister.
