Also known by the clinical name REST (Restricted Environmental Stimulation Therapy), Floatation Therapy is a deeply relaxing experience of weightlessness that is acquired by lying on your back and Floating in about 10 inches of water saturated with almost 1000 lbs of Epsom Salt. Typically, there is no light or sound, but you can opt to have low lights on or have music playing. The density of the water allows everyone to Float effortlessly! While the water feels warm when you first get in, it is actually at normal skin temperature (93.5 degrees), with an advanced ventilation and heating system to keep this constant, so you will remain at the perfect temperature so you won’t get cold like if you stay too long in a bath. It’s the Dead Sea Experience with high-grade pharmaceutical Dead Sea Salts!

The beauty of Floating is that it can help just about everyone! Floatation Therapy has been studied since the 1980s (its clinical name is Restricted Environmental Stimulation Therapy, or REST) and has been demonstrated to be an extremely effective natural pain reliever, improve physical recovery, and decrease stress hormones, leading to deep levels of relaxation. Experiments have also proven Floating to improve mental performance including memory and speed of learning, in addition to improved physical performance across multiple different sports The 1000 pounds of our Dead Sea Epsom Salt Blend also allows you to absorb Magnesium, sometimes referred to as the “happy mineral,” and one in which most Americans are deficient. The “Post-Float Glow” that just about everyone experiences is a combination of this along with the unique environment free from distractions that lets your body and mind naturally slow down and relax, achieving a whole new level of relaxation that you cannot experience anywhere else!

There’s no exact answer to this question, and it may be best to go in without expectations, but it is such an individual experience that we try to avoid saying too much so you’re not influenced by what someone else says. The very first time you Float may generally be similar for many people, as you are acclimating to the experience of Floating weightlessly without external stimuli. After you become comfortable and relax, the variety of experiences one could have is infinite and only limited by your imagination and personal goals, but most people will find the experience very peaceful, relaxing, and rejuvenating. Just like many experiences, it may vary depending on the person and if the individual has the ability to “let go” while Floating, relax the body, quiet the mind, and sink into the experience. The most common reports are profound peace and relaxation, deep concentration and creativity, yet not only will it be different for you than it is for anyone else, it will be a little different each time.

Yes, you will be in a private, individual Float Suite that also has a shower in the same room (so there is no requirement to wear a swimsuit). You have exclusive access to the Floatation Therapy Room, shower, and dressing space, all within your private Float Suite, for the duration of your session with relax: Float Spa.

Our custom-built Float Rooms are specially designed to be more open, modern, and inviting, with a larger enclosure, more overhead space, and a less “claustrophobic” feel compared to the tank or pod. There is no lid to close over top of you, and you step into the Float Room through a normal door within your private shower – like relaxing in your own oversized, personal bathtub. With 1000 lbsof Epsom salts super-saturating the filtered water, the environment is kept in pristine condition with innovative, industry-leading automated filtration, sanitation, and air circulation systems.

We don’t like feeling trapped either! That is why we built our modern, open-designed Floatation Therapy Rooms. “How can we convince our moms to try Floating?” By having them come to relax: Float Spa! While this may be a common concern when Floating inside a tank or pod in which you must close a lid overtop of you, our Float Rooms are designed to alleviate any feelings you would have of feeling constricted within an enclosed space. This is all about relaxation and eliminating stress, so why worry about feeling trapped! If at any time you wish to get up or out of the Float Room you certainly can, as you are in complete control. You can also turn the soft LED lights on or off inside at any time as well! The Floatation Therapy Rooms are very large: 9 feet long and 5 feet wide. It does not feel enclosed whatsoever once inside, and remembering that you are in charge of the whole process, your worries will subside! The outer room can be locked for your comfort and to secure your possessions as well. The Room is not airtight, so there is a plentiful air supply in addition to the fresh air brought in by an automated air circulation system.

Floating is extremely sanitary! relax: Float Spa complies with stringent health and safety regulations, meeting all local and federal health guidelines and also adhering to the national Float Tank Association’s standards. There is almost 1000 pounds of medical grade Epsom salt dissolved in each of our Floatation Therapy Rooms, and the concentration is so high that no living bacteria or microorganism can survive, similar to the Dead Sea (do you know why it’s called the Dead Sea? Because organic life can’t survive!). After each session, the entire volume of water is pumped and filtered through a state-of-the-art, two-part filtration system, filtering through a minimum of three times between each Float. In addition, an ultraviolet light sterilization system is used. UV is the safest, most effective system available and uses the same technology as water purification systems used for drinking water. We also add a limited amount of food-grade hydrogen peroxide to ensure it is totally clean. This purification system will remove particles to 1 micron (that’s 1/100th of a human hair!) “Sounds like a lot”? We take it seriously so you don’t have to worry, and to ensure each client will experience a pristine room and a fully relaxing experience! Our systems are automated to ensure cleanliness, with additional layered quality control checks performed regularly.

Floats are typically 60 or 90 minutes, and we typically recommend 60 minutes for first time Clients. Most people can’t believe how fast the time goes by! Some people enjoy Floating for longer, which is why we offer 90 minute sessions as well. – schedule your appointment now!

Yes, all the ways are right! Each person should find whatever position is comfortable for them: some people Float with their hands at their sides, some with their hands folded across their chest or abdomen, or behind their heads. We offer Floating neck pillows if you want, with some Clients preferring this and others finding it a distraction. Float the way it is comfortable for you and explore what is best for you.

The benefits of Floating will happen even with only one Float, however, like any therapy, consistent and repeated usage amplifies the results. For us, Floating is an incredibly unique experience that cannot be limited, and to maximize the infinite potential, you may want to incorporate it as part of your daily, weekly, or monthly routine. Almost universally, first-time Floaters feel the benefits and see the potential after their initial session and want to return again, and our Float Spa Managers can help you determine which of our Membership or Package options are best for you! Some people may expect to Float 2-3 times before really noticing the feeling and difference that Floating can make. It can take a session or two to get a better sense of what Floating is like, stripping away your expectations, and allowing yourself to relax and let go. Another constant is that there seems to be a cumulative effect with consistent Floating. Relaxation is a learned art that needs practice!
