Float Into a State of Calm
Float tank therapy (also known as sensory deprivation therapy or REST therapy) involves relaxing in a soundproof and lightproof tank and floating in body-temperature water that is heavily saturated with Epsom salts. The salinated water allows you to float effortlessly and comfortably without touching the sides or bottom of the float tank.The effect of the water at body temperature creates pleasant blurring between your body and the surrounding environment. This helps to enhance mindfulness, ease the body, and make for a profoundly relaxing experience.

Nope, just yourself. We provide you with everything else you need including towels. However, if you wear contacts bringing a case and solution is a must so you can take them out during your float for comfort in the tank.
Float sessions last 60-90 minutes, and and it takes most people an average of 20 minutes to get out of their head and into the tank.
Some people are concerned that they may fall asleep and be at risk of drowning, but the water is so buoyant you stay afloat. The worst that can happen is getting woken up by a bit of salt water in your eyes.
People with claustrophobia consistently report no problems with floating, and because our tanks are spacious with optional lighting, you can create an experience to fit your comfort level.
The salt water is fully filtered between each float to ensure a safe and clean environment.
You can’t sink. The 850 pounds of epsom salt in the water takes care of that while you lie on your back.
The water is kept at 93.5 degrees. This is skin-receptor neutral, which means you lose track of where your body ends and the water begins.
