Float Therapy
Experience deep relaxation and recovery as your body floats weightless on the surface of the water infused with 1000lbs of magnesium epsom salt
As you float weightless, you will feel your muscles start to relax, while your stress and tension drift away. As your parasympathetic ("rest and digest") nervous system activates to inhibit the body's stress response by lowing cortisol and promoting deep relaxation and recovery.
Float therapy (or "R.E.S.T" Reduced Environmental Stimulus Therapy) effectively reduces sensory distractions that we experience in everyday life that can affect our ability to relax deeply, including light, sound, smell, touch and even gravity. Floating helps to promote deep relaxation, meditation, relief from chronic pain conditions, and improved sleep, benefitting both the body and mind.
You will emerge feeling re-energized and ready to take on life again.

How to Float
01
We supply everything you need for your float in your suite. A pre-float shower is required to remove any oils and products prior to entering the pod environment.
02
Climb into your little oasis. You can decide to keep the lights on or off from inside the pod. It will be a silent float unless you requested the music option at time of booking.
Lay back, relax and enjoy your float!
03
In the last 15 minutes of your float gentle music will begin playing to notify you that your session is coming to an end. If you selected the music option during your float then the filtration jets will turn on to alert you of your session end.
04
Take a shower to remove the salt using high-quality shower products provided for you in your suite. Complimentary tea offered in lounge!
CLEANLINESS
The pod combines three of the most highly effective filtration and cleaning systems to ensure the water is kept filtered at all times in between guests, while maintaining a pure environment inside the pod. The advanced technology behind our float pod ensures that the pod water is far cleaner than any pool or hot tub out there
HERE'S HOW IT WORKs
01
UV Germicidal Purification
Ultraviolet germicidal irradiation is a disinfection method that uses short-wavelength ultraviolet light to kill or inactivate microorganisms by destroying nucleic acids and disrupting their DNA, leaving them unable to perform vital cellular functions to survive.
02
Ozone Purification System
Ozone is a powerful oxidising agent which, when dissolved in water, produces a broad spectrum biocide that destroys all bacteria and viruses. In addition, our Ozone systems have been third-party validated to kill up to 99.99% of microorganisms.
03
Micron Filtration System
The pod's water is kept on a 24/7 filtration cycle and only turns off when in a float session. The advanced micron filtration system ensures that even the smallest of particles are removed and the water is filtered over 50 times per hour.
04
Epsom Salt
The water contains over 1,000 pounds of epsom salt, which is naturally antibacterial, antiviral and antifungal. The high salinity of the pod makes it an inhospitable environment to microorganisms and keeps the water extremely pure.

We provide everything that you may need during your session in your private suite. All towels, ear plugs, and pod- safe hair products are provided for you.
You may bring your own personal care products to use Post-Float such as your own shower products, hairbrush, etc.
You may wear whatever you are most comfortable in, but it is recommended to wear nothing to avoid distraction with fabrics touching your skin for the full sensory deprivation experience! The water is warmed to a comfortable 95 degrees so that you remain at a natural body temperature during your float.
Our team will walk you through the process before your session so that you get the most out of your experience!
As you settle into the warm water, your mind and body will start to relax and disconnect from life's stressors, aches and pains will subside and you may enter a dream-like meditative state that recharges your brain. Post- float you may feel a boost in calmness, stress release, creativity and improved sleep following your session.
Like anything new there can be a learning curve to floating and learning to disconnect from your thoughts, so first timers may require a couple sessions to get comfortable enough to reach meditation and fully reap the full range of benefits of float therapy.

The health benefits can be felt after just a single session! It is recommended to float at least once a week as a regular part of your wellness routine to continuously reap the mental and physical benefits. Although it is safe to float multiple times a week if you wish. First time users may require a couple sessions to learn to fully relax and reap all the benefits of floating.
Chronic pain conditions, anxiety, depression, heart disease, hypertension, migraines, insomnia, magnesium deficiency and more.
Yes! Magnesium helps to improve the overall appearance of our skin by lowering cortisol levels, stabilising hormonal balance and improving cellular processes.
It can, depending on your condition. We do provide petroleum jelly which can be applied over any small cuts to provide a skin barrier from the salt. The Epsom salts can be super beneficial to people with psoriasis or eczema, however severe sufferers may find the salt to be intolerable on their skin. If you are unsure, we suggest trying an epsom salt bath at home first.
Although uncommon, some women find the salt can sting if you have dryness, sensitive skin, or micro-tears in sensitive areas. Wait at least 24 hours shave or wax to avoid discomfort.
