You will float in here! Seriously though, one thousand pounds of Epsom salt dissolved in the water make the solution so dense that your body is pushed to the surface like a cork. Your eyes, nose, and mouth float out of the solution while your ears are underwater. We have silicone earplugs for you.

Yes you probably have! Other names for floating include: sensory deprivation, isolation tanks, and restricted environmental stimulation therapy (REST), to name a few. Whatever you call it, floating has been around since the 70’s, when some more extreme and less enjoyable psychology experiments evolved into modern floatation therapy, which is friendly and fun and still keeps all of the powerful and intriguing benefits of sensory deprivation. We recommend 60 to 90 minutes for your first float. Some people use the tank for shorter sessions, and others find 2 or 3 hour sessions very valuable. Generally the benefits increase with longer floats. Experiment with your own time in the tank to discover what is best for you.

You know your body best. If some menstrual blood may come out in the tank we ask that you please reschedule, with no cancellation fee.

Pregnant women probably get more relief from the float tank than anyone else. Just lying on a bed can be extremely uncomfortable for a woman in the later stages of pregnancy due to the massive gravitational strain placed on the body. The float tank is a wonderful haven for pregnant women. We do, however, recommend that pregnant women avoid floating during the first trimester. If you have any concerns about the effects of floating on your pregnancy, we ask you to consult and get permission from your physician before you float.

While no one has EVER drowned in a float tank, we do have some proactive restrictions: Epileptics must disclose their epilepsy to us, be on medication, and have a note from their doctor saying they are safe to float. Please do not come under the influence of alcohol or drugs, with infectious diseases or with open skin wounds. While infectious diseases stand no chance of survival and propagation in the float tank, we want to protect the environment around it. Individuals under the age of 16 must have a legal guardian present to float.

Yes. For many reasons. We start with the highest quality of salt you can get, USP grade Epsom Salt made in the USA. 1,000lbs of salt in the water creates “the high salt effect”: According to Dr. Oscar Pancorbo (Director of the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection Analytical Division and Station Chief of the Wall Experiment Station in Lawrence, MA), “No pathogenic organisms can survive salt concentrations above approximately 10 percent.” With a solution of at least 25% salt, the float tank is above and beyond the level of pathogenic decomposition. On top of those natural safeguards, we add a rigorous sanitation and filtration regimen: In between each client, the entire content of the float tank passes through the micron-sized filter 3 times! Also in between each float Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2) is added to the solution, which oxidizes impurities and breaks down into water and oxygen. For anything that does not react to H2O2, a small amount of Chlorine is added to the filtration system weekly. This stays in the filtration system and binds with impurities, making sure they stay put. The filtration cartridge is then cleaned and maintained. To top it off, the walls and ceiling of the float tank are wiped down and sprayed with colloidal silver, ensuring that all components are attended to. Also, since we require a shower with soap before your float and a bathing suit is not necessary, The amount of impurities coming into the tank are kept at a bare minimum. Our water is crystal clear, and when you come out of your float you may notice how clean you feel. Epsom Salt is amazing stuff, and human bodies tend to love it.

Since it is a private room, and a private experience, most people float naked. Anything you do wear, you will most likely notice while floating. We recommend your birthday suit.

This is a very common response, and even those know don’t consider themselves claustrophobic may have a fear reaction upon first seeing the tank. After the first float, however, even strong cases of claustrophobia have been dispelled. This may be because you have total control over your environment while floating. You may float with the door open, and you may get out whenever you like. Most everyone ends up shutting the door and staying in until the music comes on, because it’s actually quite nice in there. If you consider yourself claustrophobic and would like to change that, the float tank is the perfect tool.
