We provide robes, towels, body wash and shampoo, ear plugs lotion, q-tips, contact lens cases (if you choose to remove them before your float) and blow dryers. If you have long hair you can bring any special brush/comb you use. Rooms are fully private so no need to bring a bathing suit.
We recommend that you eat a light meal an hour before your float. Do not drink coffee or other caffeinated drinks for several hours before your float. Don’t shave or wax for 8 hours before as the salt water might irritate the skin.
You may need to float a few times before you are able to relax completely physically and mentally. Depending on your own health journey a float might provide and hour of total physical relaxation or a profound healing experience. Best benefits are achieved with regular floating, i.e., once per week.
During a float you produce slower brainwaves called theta waves, which are normally only experienced during deep meditation or just before falling asleep. This can be accompanied by vivid imagery, very clear creative thoughts, sudden insights and inspirations and feelings of profound peace and joy. Because of these effects floating is used effectively in the treatment of depression and addiction. Other benefits include stress reduction, increased sensory acuity/reaction time, improved sleep, well-researched benefits for PTSD, anxiety and depression.
Deep relaxation, increased blood circulation, and muscle recovery, reduction in chronic pain, reduced compression/unloading of all joints in weightless environment. Floating has well-researched benefits for fibromyalgia, and chronic pain.
We have a filtration system that runs after each session. There is more than 1000 pounds of medical grade Epsom salt dissolved in the tank – a concentration so high no living microorganism can survive. In addition an ultra violet and ozone filtration system is used and water is filtered 3-4 times through a 1-10 micron filter after each session. UV is the safest and most effective system available, using the same technology as water purification systems used for drinking water. Water is tested daily to maintain optimum levels. To maintain cleanliness a shower is mandatory prior to floating.
Yes, it is impossible not to float in the tank. With 1000 pounds of salt dissolved in the water you will float effortlessly in our pod which is more dense than the dead sea.
Epsom salt has actually been used for treating skin ailments and will leave your skin feeling soft and silky. Your skin will not even prune!
The lid to our pod does not latch so you are able to freely enter and exit the pod. That said, the float usually goes by much faster than you’d expect.
You are always in control of your environment and can choose to float with the pod open. The lights can be kept on and you are free to exit the pod at any time. Most people with claustrophobia have no trouble floating.
NO. The water is so buoyant you can’t help but float to the top. Some people choose to sleep in the pods.
Most people do not wear bathing suits while floating. Anything you wear while floating will become heavy with the salt and may be distracting. You can wear a suit if that is more comfortable for you. Our float room is private with a shower in the room.
Avoid touching your face to prevent this from happening. We provide a squirt bottle with fresh water and a hand towel in the pod to rinse if you need to.
Pregnant clients experience some of the greatest relief while floating due to the weightless environment. There is a special position you can float in to relieve the pressure of the baby on your body. Please consult with your physician before floating in first and third trimester.
We request that you reschedule for after your period.
Yes, it is impossible to keep your hair dry, many have tried. You will have to rinse the salt out afterward. We have a blow dry bar available so you can dry your locks post float.
Please exit the pod, rinse off in the shower, put on the robe behind door to travel to the adjacent restroom. There is a $1000 charge for leaving ANYTHING behind in our pod.
Allow 2 weeks after hair coloring and make sure there is no dye residue washing out by testing wet hair on a white towel. Floating decreases the life of keratin treatments and glued in extensions. It is similar to swimming in the ocean. We do not guarantee that hair treatments will survive your float.
Anyone under 18 will need parent consent. We do not allow children under 16 to float.
You need to be capable of stepping out of the pod, which is similar to getting in and out of a bathtub at home. If you are unable to get up from the floor unassisted we advise against using the pod.

Minors without parent consent, if you have an unhealed tattoo, new piercings or freshly died hair.
Gold and stainless steel jewelry should be OK in the pod. If you have stones in your jewelry there may be some crust left. Any costume jewelry, mixed alloy, silver etc. needs to be removed. We will not be responsible for damaged jewelry.
