What is Float Therapy?

Float therapy (sensory deprivation) involves lying in a pod or room filled with 25–30cm of warm water supersaturated with Epsom salts, making the body completely weightless. The water and air are kept at skin temperature, eliminating sensory input and inducing a theta brainwave state associated with deep creativity, insight and restoration. Sessions typically last 60–90 minutes.

Key benefits

  • Profound stress dissolution and cortisol reduction
  • Relief from chronic pain, fibromyalgia and muscle tension
  • Theta brainwave state for creativity and problem-solving
  • Deep magnesium absorption through skin from Epsom salts
  • Complete sensory rest for the nervous system

Avoid caffeine before floating. The first session may take time to let go of mental chatter — the second and third sessions are usually transformative. Avoid shaving 4 hours prior.
