The Float Experience
Welcome to a Whole New World of Relaxation.
​​Retreat to your own private float suite, complete with a luxurious shower, where you begin your floatation practice by washing away the outside world, in preparation to enter the serene float room.
How It Works
Step-by-Step
Step-by-Step for a Smooth Experience
STEP ONE: Arrive for your float.
STEP TWO: Your brief consultation and we'll answer any last minute questions.
STEP THREE: First shower [ 5 minutes ] Showering prior to entering the tank helps rid your body of make-up, oils, lotions, hair products, etc.
STEP FOUR: Your float [ 90 minutes ]
STEP FIVE: Second shower [ 8-10 minutes ]. You'll need to rinse off the excessive salt from your skin, hair and ears.
STEP SIX: Relax, recover, check out.
HOW IT WORKS
The Solution for a Zero-Gravity Effect​​
Upon stepping foot in the custom built float room, you will be welcomed by the warm, silky Epsom Salt solution. The solution has almost 1300 pounds of Epsom salt dissolved in just ten inches of water, resulting in a density that allows you to float like a cork.
As you surrender to the zero-gravity effect, and allow the salty water to softly support your body along its natural supine curve, pressure is released in all joints, and muscles relax like never before.
Sensory Deprivation
SENSORY DEPRIVATION
Float Therapy is easy to do, you really just need to show up ready to relax.
When you are ready to begin the sensory deprivation aspect of the practice, turn the lights and music off, and allow the skin temperature solution to ease way the physical sensation of your body.
Sensory Deprivation completely releases all ties from the outside world.
​
-
During a sensory deprivation session, the brain relaxes into theta state, and endorphins are released into the bloodstream, reducing pain and fatigue.
-
The resulting increased levels of serotonin and dopamine also promote a general sense of well-being and happiness to further reduce stress and tension.
-
Stress hormones such as adrenaline and cortisol are reduced in the bloodstream by way of various body messages, receptor site activity, and organ processes.
-
Combined, these positive effects of sensory deprivation help reduce the risks of high blood pressure and cardiovascular disease, all while decreasing anxiety and promoting a more harmonious mood and overall feeling of balance and wellness.
FIRST-TIME
FLOATERS
Nervous about your first time floating? Unsure how to prepare?
No problem, we're here to help!
​​​​
Please arrive 15 minutes before your appointment so we can get you settled in and set for your float.
​
Once you are checked in, we will show you to your float tank and private changing with shower.
We do ask you shower before entering and after exiting our tanks. This helps to not disturb the pH in the tank, and to keep our facility in tip top shape for your next visit.
​
​
When you are ready to enter the sensory deprivation tank, slowly and carefully lower yourself into the tank. If you like, we have lights that you can bring into the tank with you to help ease you into relaxation.
​
Once inside the tank, lay back and feel yourself float effortlessly on a bed of epsom salts solution, enjoying 90 minutes of serenity and calm.
​​​​​​
​
Relax. Recover. Reset. When you are finished your float there is no need to rush out. Please feel free to basque in the afterglow of your float while enjoying a cup of tea in our cozy lounge area.
At-Home PreP
HELPFUL TIPS
-
Cover up cuts/scrapes with band-aid or use Petroleum Jelly (we have this on-site) to reduce stinging due to salt content.
​
-
Contact lenses cannot be worn in the tanks. We have contact cases and lens solution for you on-site.
​
-
Epsom salt is a great hair volumizer and has minimal to NO effect on hair colors or dyes that are set. However, floating is not recommended within two weeks of new hair coloring or treatment, three weeks for brighter colors.
​
-
Earplugs are provided to prevent water from going in ears as they are submerged in the water.
​
-
We provide the basic toiletries in our dressing rooms to accommodate your needs. We also have a hair dryer and lotion in our make up area. Please be sure to bring your own brush or comb if you so choose.
​

Please give us 24 hours notice if you need to cancel.
