Being in the chamber is more like floating in outer space than being shut in a box. You’re always in control of your environment, and even people with extreme claustrophobia have reported having no problems with their time in the chamber.

Some people fall asleep, but the water is so buoyant that you stay afloat. The worst that can happen is getting woken up by a bit of salt water in your eyes.

There is only 10 inches of water in the chamber. In addition, the water is incredibly dense because of the amount of dissolved salts. You float on top of the water, similar to a cork, no matter what size or shape you are.

A filtration system, more powerful than any used in swimming pools or hot tubs, runs after each session. There is 1100 pounds of medical grade Epsom salt dissolved in the tank - a concentration so high no living microorganism can survive. In addition, a ultra-violet light sterilization system is used. UV is the safest, most effective system available and uses the same technology as water purification systems used for drinking water. We also use 3% Hydrogen Peroxide solution at the end of each night, which inhibits the growth of bacteria. Clients are required to thoroughly shampoo, soap, and rinse on-site before entering the float chamber. We take every precaution to provide you with the cleanest, safest and most relaxing experience possible. We are members of the Float Tanks Association (FTA) and adhere to their stringent regulations concerning water sanitization and filtering.

Being inside the float tank takes your brain from the highly conscious alpha and beta waves to solid theta waves. Theta waves are associated with deep meditation and are where the verbal/thinking mind transitions to the meditative/visual mind. Floating provides an easy and reliable means to achieve and sustain this beneficial meditative state.

Epsom salt is not actually a salt but a naturally occurring pure mineral compound of magnesium and sulfate. Safely used for healing and beauty purposes for hundreds of years, Epsom salt is beneficial to both the skin and the hair. A bathing cap may be worn but will not keep your hair completely dry and the tightness will detract from your total float experience.

Floating is a fully private experience and most people don’t wear anything. Anything you wear will touch against your body and detract from your total float experience.

Absolutely! There will be a womb within a womb! We suggest that pregnant women inform their physicians or midwives and get their opinion prior to floating. The reports received from pregnant women have been enthusiastic. As their bodies get heavier, floating is a great relief from the pull of gravity and has given many expectant mothers a welcome rest.

Yes, floating it is safe for children but we require children under the age of 16 to be accompanied by a parent or guardian.

This depends on why you are floating. We recommend that you float at least 2 times within 6 weeks to get the full experience of total relaxation. We have many clients who float once a week while others float once or twice a month. The frequency of your floats will depend on the reasons why you floating. Our qualified staff can help you decide what is best for you.
