Float Therapy, also referred to as sensory deprivation, has the potential to alleviate a variety of concerns such as stress, anxiety, back and neck pain. Moreover, ongoing research is exploring its effectiveness in easing symptoms associated with depression and PTSD. This secure, medication-free therapy induces deep relaxation, facilitating the healing of your body, mind, and spirit.
Float therapy, also known as sensory deprivation or isolation tank therapy, is a unique experience that involves immersion in a tank filled with a solution of water and Epsom salt. The high salt concentration is designed to facilitate effortless floating, and the absence of external sensory input, including light and sound, creates a peaceful and secluded environment.
This therapy aims to promote relaxation, reduce stress, and increase mental clarity. Advocates of float therapy have reported various benefits, including improved sleep, enhanced creativity, and relief from muscle tension. The reduced sensory input allows the brain to enter a state of deep relaxation that encourages meditative experiences.
Float therapy has gained popularity as an alternative wellness approach, and many spas, wellness centers, and float centers offer these services. If you have pre-existing health conditions, it's always advisable to consult with healthcare professionals before trying any new therapeutic approach.

What To Expect
A Unique Experience for First-Timers
Floating is an exceptional way to relax your mind and body, often referred to as a massage for both. This individualized experience is well-loved by most. Acupuncture patients and frequent meditators are familiar with the deep state of relaxation that occurs when the body and mind become still. Often, floaters comment that this state of mindful relaxation is achieved at a fast pace while floating. You may find yourself feeling embraced and comforted in the womb-like environment, your body unwinding and stretching in new ways, or your creativity sparked with ideas and inspiration only found in dream-time. Keep an open mind for your first float, and we'll be here to support you with all the details you need.
BEFORE
Things to know before:
-
Before your float, please refrain from dying your hair for a minimum of 3 days (or washes). Hair must pass the white towel test in order to be float safe.
-
Please wait a minimum of 2 weeks after receiving a tattoo to book your float.
-
If you wear contact lenses, we recommend taking them out and bringing glasses if possible.
-
To avoid discomfort, it is recommended to avoid shaving before a float.

DURING
While you float:
-
It’s best to avoid touching your face to prevent getting salt in your eyes. (But not to worry! A bottle of fresh water and a washcloth are provided for you in the tank should you forget.)
-
Try different arm positions to help fully ease and relax your muscles. Once you’ve settled in, we recommend staying in that position if possible as it helps with temperature regulation.
-
Experiment with lights, and head support to discover your preferred experience.
-
Every float is different. Sometimes it’s easy to slip into a quiet mind or sleep (don’t worry- it’s safe!), and other times your mind might chatter. Rest assured that each experience in the tank is beneficial to your well-being.
