What to Expect
Before arrival you will be asked to complete an online Safe Floating form.
Please allow 90 minutes from your floatation session appointment time - 10 minutes for your pre-float briefing & a chance to ask questions; 5 minutes to change & shower before your float; 60 minutes in the floatation tank; and finally 15 minutes to shower again, change & relax before leaving. (If you would like a longer float please ask!)
You will have the option of floating with the lid down for optimal sensory deprivation, or you can leave the lid up if you are unsure and want to gradually build up your confidence, you have control of this. The same goes for the lights in the tank, you can decide on or off.
There will be 10 minutes of relaxing music played at the start of your float and then 5 minutes to signal the end of your float. (Should you prefer no music or music throughout your float please mention this on arrival).
The concentrated epsom salts water is heated to body temperature and when you are fully relaxed, it is virtually impossible to distinguish between parts of the body that are in contact with the water, and those that aren't, thus creating the illusion of floating in air. It’s not uncommon to fall asleep!
The idea is to float naked so nothing can become between you and the experience, though you may also wear a costume if you prefer.
If you wish please bring your own towels and shower products, however we do also provide these.
PLEASE GET IN TOUCH TO BOOK A SESSION OR FOR ANY QUESTIONS - THANK YOU
