Halcyon Floats, Philadelphia's Favorite Float Center, is excited and proud to introduce the benefits of floating to the community.
On the cusp of Fishtown and Old Kensington, Halcyon Floats' welcoming and calming vibe will soothe you into relaxation from the moment you step foot in the door.
Our spacious shop features three floatation tanks (two extra large cabins and one traditional style float tank), each with it's own private float room with private shower.
Our location also features additional services that are perfect compliments to your float therapy session including Halo Salt Therapy, Infrared Sauna, Sound Healing Rest Station, Oxygen Bar, and Community Events.
OUR STORY
While years in the making, Halcyon Floats was established in early 2014, opening on March 1st in Northern Liberties.
Keri, the owner, was introduced to floatation therapy while visiting a friend in Portland, OR in 2011.
Commence obsessive mission to bring this amazing relaxation technique to the great people of Philadelphia, culminating in the place our city's floaters now call home, Halcyon Floats.
MEET THE TEAm
With a welcoming and knowledgeable staff, we provide the best, most relaxing experience to our customers. Our Halcyon Floats staff consists of float enthusiasts, all of whom were clients before they joined the team.
We all know the benefits of floating firsthand. We look forward to seeing you before and after transformation, and we always want to hear about your experience. So please, feel free to tell us about it.
We have a journal in our relaxation area as well, so you can write it all down, or read the post-float reflections of others!
