What is Float Therapy?

---

 Yes, over a thousand pounds of Epsom salt provides buoyancy for your body to float naturally and effortlessly. How private is a float room? Completely private; you can lock the door to enter the room that has the float spa but you are not locked into the water area. You can float in your bathing suit or your birthday suit! Do you need to bring anything? You do not need towels, they are provided, we also provide neck support pillows, body wash, shampoo, conditioner and lotion (conditioner and lotion are for after the float not before, we want to avoid the oils from getting into the float), you can bring a bathing suit but you do not need one as you have full privacy, and we also provide ear plugs and a Dyson hair dryer.   

 1. Arrive 5 minutes before your float. You do have a waiver to sign before you float.
2. Avoid shaving or waxing several hours before floating, the Epsom salt water will sting when it comes to cuts and lacerations.
3. Avoid splashing the water or getting the water in your eyes, the Epsom salt water will sting if it gets into your eyes just like the ocean water causes this, there will be a water spray bottle if you happen to get salt water in your eyes to flush your eyes
4. There is a rinse/shower area which you will use before and after floating. We recommend five minutes of rinsing/showering to clean your body of all oils, creams and makeup.
5. Avoid wearing oils, creams and makeup when coming to float.
6. Avoid having hair products, eye contact lenses or jewelry on when you float. You can take these items off and leave them on the table in your private room.
7. Avoid having hair color that will bleed into the float room, swim caps do not work.
8. Be aware of water potentially getting onto the floor when you enter and exit the rinsing/shower area and/or the float tub and know that you can fall if you are not careful.
9. Avoid a full stomach and bladder; use the bathroom before you float.
10. Be hydrated but without a full bladder, a float room can be humid. 11. Avoid alcohol, drugs and caffeine before floating. 

 Our floats are a lot more spacious than typical float rooms, there is also the option to keep the door to the float open and also listen to music or keep the LED light on while you are floating. The relaxation may also allow you to ease into the space.  

 1. If you have swimmers ear, are prone to ear infections or any inner ear condition that may be irritated by water, please bring your own ear water specific plugs, we supply standard disposable ear plugs only.
