Floating in salt water for therapeutic reasons is not new, as people have been making pilgrimages to the Dead Sea for centuries. Floatation therapy combines the healing power of salt (Magnesium Sulfate) with complete deprivation of the senses.

You float on approximately 10″ of water that is super saturated with Epsom salt, providing you with extra buoyancy. The float cabins are sound proof, light proof and warmed to promote a feeling of nothingness.

This sensory deprivation allows your brain to turn off. There is nothing to distract you, no sensations, no sound, no light. You can dip into meditation mode very quickly. After an hour of floating, you feel completely refreshed and recharged.

When you arrive, you’ll be shown your float room. In the room you’ll have a change area, a shower and a float cabin. Before you enter the cabin, you are asked to shower (using soap only , no conditioner please!). You can choose to wear ear plugs if you wish (provided).

Enter the cabin and lay down on your back, head near the door, using the halo pillow behind your head if you wish. If you are feeling claustrophobic or nervous, you can choose to leave the cabin door slightly open.

The lights will be on, and music will be playing. After a few minutes, the music will turn off and you can push the blue button to turn off the lights. The black button turns on the night sky, if you wish!

At the end of your session, the music will come on. Push the blue button to turn on the lights (this also turns on the light in the float room). Shower once again (this time you can use conditioner!) to remove all the salt, making sure to really clean your ears, especially if you didn’t wear ear plugs. If you want to dry your hair, there is a blow dryer in the washroom.

Yes you float naked!

Wearing a bathing suit would add detergents and additives to our solution, plus it will get uncomfortable due to the sensory deprivation factor!

The magic of floating – it allows you to enter a deep meditative state to better heal what ails you! It can be helpful with :

• Deep muscle relaxation

• Better sleep

• Decrease pain

• Reduced stress & anxiety

• Sports recovery

• Increased circulation

• Meditation

• Reduce headaches

• Reduce inflammation

• And so much more!

Arrive on time.

We recommend 20 minutes prior to your first session and 5 minutes early for subsequent appointments.If you arrive late, your float time will be shortened accordingly.

Give yourself enough time!

We suggest 1.5 to 2 hours for an hour float. As you shower beforehand, as well as when you exit, and want to spend a few minutes in our lounge before heading back into the world, make sure you give yourself enough time.

Shower before entering the tank using the soap only, as well as use the waterproof ointment provided.

Shower using soap head to toe prior to heading into the floats will ensure a better experience. The waterproof ointment is there to protect your skin against the extreme salt water. Use it sparingly on small nicks or cuts, as well as any sensitive areas.

Shower after your float

If you don’t, you’ll be a crusty salty mess! You are already clean, so no need to use soap again, but you might want to shampoo and condition your hair.

Rinse your ears off after your float to prevent salt crystallization

We provide you with silicone earplugs, which are optional to wear. Regardless, please rinse your ears very well in the shower after to prevent any salt crystallizing. If, at home, you start to feel salt crystals, you can rinse your ears with a 1:1 ratio mixture of vinegar and rubbing alcohol.

Go to the washroom prior to your float

Nothing is worse than getting into the zen of a float and then realizing you have to go to the washroom! Even if you just went prior to coming, try again!

Ask any questions you might have beforehand

We want to ensure you have an enjoyable float! Please ask any questions you might have prior to your experience.

Book an appointment if you require assistance in and out of the tank without talking to us first.

If you have mobility issues, please come and visit us first to see if getting in and out might be an issue for you.

Shave or wax 12 hours before your float

This can create micro-cuts in your skin, which will burn when in contact with the salt water of the floats! Trust us, don’t do it!

Book an appointment if you are menstruating without using proper protection

Yes, floating is safe to do while menstruating, but it is a myth that you do not continue menstruating while in water or lying down. Please use protection, preferably a menstrual cup. If you have a heavy flow, you might want to postpone until the heaviness dissipates.

Book an appointment if you have any of the following without talking to a medical professional first

• Incontinence

• Infection skin or respiratory disorders

• A high-risk pregnancy without Dr’s approval first

• Epilepsy or serious mental health conditions

• Gastrointestinal issues that could soil the tank

Do not book an appointment if you have:

• Freshly applied artificial tanning product

• Freshly dyed hair (bleach is ok, hair must be running clear) or chemically altered hair (straightened or permed)

Perform the “white towel test” on your hair (rubbing a wet white towel on your hair) to see if the dye runs

Artificial tanning products and hair dye can stain the float solution as well as our cabins, resulting in a cleaning fee

Consume alcohol or stimulants prior to your float

We reserve the right to refuse service if you are under the influence.

Eat a heavy meal 3 hours or drink caffeine prior to your float.

Your stomach will be heavy and potentially nauseous if you eat a heavy meal prior to your float! We suggest a light meal approximately 1.5 hours prior to your float. An empty stomach might grumble and disrupt your float, so make sure to eat something!

Too much caffeine can stimulate your brain and render it difficult to enter into the zen of the float.

And make sure to limit your water intake prior to your float, you don’t have to have to go to the washroom while you float!

Take too long to shower afterwards

We need to prepare the room for the following appointment. There are hair dryers in the bathrooms.

Please Note!

The water goes through a thorough filtration and UV system and we manually test the water quality after every float. If we require to clean and/or drain the solution after your float, you could be charged a cleaning fee of up to $2000.
