Float tips

  • Little nicks burn in the salt water. Don't shave right before floating.

  • Come before or during a stressful time, don't wait. You will just feel even better afterward.

What Joe Rogan talks about?
What do I do?
Nothing. After you get in the tank, just be still and breathe.

What's it like?

Nothing else; in our cabin-style float tanks, you float easier than in the Dead Sea! No gravity! The water & air in the cabin are the same temperature as your skin, so you don't feel anything! Inside the float room can be dark (recommended) candle lit, or with the lights on. You can listen to music or have it quiet (we've got earplugs.) It is completely relaxing.

Benefits of Sulfates

(Research shows that sulfate is not easily absorbed through the stomach, but through the skin.)
  • Flush toxins
  • Nutrient absorption
  • Form joint protein, brain tissue, and mucous proteins
  • Prevent and/or ease migraine headaches

Benefits of Magnesium

  • Most people are Magnesium deficient (about 95% of us)
  • Your body needs magnesium for:
         -digestion
         -energy production
         -muscle function
         -bone formation
         -creation of new cells
         -vitamin B activation
         -relaxation of muscles
  • Your body needs magnesium to assist functioning of your:
         -heart
         -kidneys
         -adrenals
         -brain
         -nervous system   

Music?

Most people prefer nothing. We have some relaxing Zen music for meditation playing through underwater speakers. Your choice; you can turn it on or off throughout your float.

Who floats?

  • Anyone age 10 to 110
  • People with high blood pressure CAN float!! Our tanks contain MAGNESIUM sulfate (the kind we need), NOT sodium sulfate (the salt that raises blood pressure.) 
  • Pregnant women in 1st trimester can get a doctor's okay to float.

Anyone go crazy?

  • Not so far.
  • You can open the door or turn the light on anytime.
  • You are in a private room with a lockable door.
  • You can exit the float tank at any time. 
  • You  can also leave the cabin door completely or partially open.
  • You control your experience.
  • You'll likely be surprised at how quickly you are able to relax.
  • Our float cabins are very large. The window and glass door make claustrophobia a non-issue.
