What is Float Therapy?
A floatation tank is a lightless, soundless tank filled with highly concentrated Epsom salt water heated to skin temperature. Floatation, also known as sensory deprivation, is simply the act of relaxing in a floatation tank; with all sights and sounds removed, and drifting into a meditative state that rejuvenates your mind and body.

Prepare For Your Float
You must arrive 20-minutes before appointment time. Your booking time is the Float start time, arriving late will cut into your float time.
Hair color needs to be “set” before coming in to float (your shower water is running completely clear). Please reschedule if it is not.
Showers are provided onsite for your pre-and post Float bathe rinse.
Avoid shaving, tanning, waxing—or anything else that would increase the sensitivity of your skin.
Be sure to hydrate before and after your float.
We do not allow intoxicated, high or altered clients to enter any of our treatment rooms.
Floaters must be able to lift themselves/get in and out of the pod safely without assistance.
