R.E.S.T., Relax, and Find Relief in Near Weightlessness with Floatation Therapy.

Now offering Massage Therapy, Reiki, and Monthly Workshops. Learn More at FirstStateFloats.com Throughout time people have sought the relief provided by mineral rich hot springs by traveling the Earth to float in places like the Dead Sea. Now you don’t have to travel to a far-off place. First State Floats offers you a passport to what has been described as “the most relaxing experience on earth.”


By eliminating all external stimuli, the central nervous system’s workload is reduced by as much as 90%. This reduction draws a person’s energy inward and promotes relaxation (the parasympathetic response). Parasympathetic response is the mechanism by which the body naturally regenerates itself and maintains chemical and metabolic balance. People float to relieve stress, recover from injuries, fight addiction, eliminate chronic pain, and much more. Studies indicate that floating increases your dopamine and endorphin levels, thereby boosting your mood and leaving you with a pleasant afterglow that lasts for days. Without the need to fight gravity or take in external information, you’ll likely experience the most complete relaxation you’ve ever felt.

There are moments when your body asks you to slow down… and listen.

Join us Monday April 27th for a gentle reset with Lauren for a calming blend of EFT Tapping and Sound Bath designed to help you release, restore, and return to yourself.

Come as you are… and leave a little lighter.

Release stress from the mind and the body.

Join us on April 27th at First State Floats for a deeply restorative Tapping Workshop + Sound Bath experience.

We’ll begin by using EFT Tapping to calm stress, release emotional overwhelm, and regulate the nervous system. Then you’ll be guided into a healing sound bath to help the body fully integrate the shift.

This is the perfect reset if you’ve been carrying too much.

Is your nervous system stuck on overdrive?

Deadlines. Notifications. The constant pull to do more... it adds up.

Now imagine a practice that helps your body shift out of "fight or flight" and into deep rest. No pharmaceuticals, no invasive treatments... just you, supported in near weightlessness.

Floatation therapy offers exactly that.

Research has shown that floating reduces cortisol (your primary stress hormone), lowers heart rate and blood pressure, all by supporting the body's shift into the parasympathetic (rest & degest) state. The result is often a profound sense of calm, enhanced mental clarity, and overall well-being that extends well beyond the session.

This isn't an escape. It's a return... to balance, to stillness, to yourself.
Step in, lay back, and let go.

There was a moment…. before the doors opened, before the lights were dimmed, before a single guest was welcomed in.

This is what it looked like back in April 2018, blueprints spread out, ladders leaning against unfinished walls, thousands of pounds of Epson salt stacked up, and a whole lot of smiles.

It was that space where passion met purpose, carried forward by a shared belief in what this could become. Belief from the team who helped build it… and in the process, becoming something more, family.

The tanks were full, construction nearly complete, but in so many ways, the work was only just beginning.

I remember the moment we started, pulling the coverings off the windows, letting the light in for the first time… and realizing this was actually happening. Not just an idea anymore, not just a dream. Something real, something we built together.

Eight years later, that same vision is still here. It lives in every float, every moment, every breath our guest takes when they finally slow down and reconnect with themselves.

And we’re just getting started.

“I came here today 4 months postpartum. For the past year, it has been so hard to be present in my body. The woman that I was before I became a mother is now gone. I am still getting to know the new me. Pregnancy and postpartum sapped me of so much of my vitality—physically, mentally, emotionally, and creatively. In all of these domains I have lately felt so broken, so weak.

Today during my float, however, I realized a new dimension of power that I embody—reproductive power. The power of Life. I am a Giver of Life. Yes, the old me died a death when I gave birth to my daughter. But as I rise from the ashes, I start to feel the power that my new form contains. My stretch marks—marks of power. Like lightning strikes or the stripes of the mighty tiger. I am powerful. I am a giver of life. I am a creator.

May I never again succumb to the lie that my body—the seat of my power—is something to be ashamed of.

Step in, lay back, and allow the magnesium rich waters of our Ocean Room do the rest.

There’s something powerful about having a place you can return to, a space where your mind can settle, your body can rest, and you’re able to simply be. For many, floating becomes that space. Not just once, but as a practice. Something steady in a world that often feels anything but.

If you’ve been feeling the pull to begin, or to begin again, we’re here when you’re ready💙

Some days, we’re reminded why we’re here!

As the first day of spring arrives, we’re reminded that renewal doesn’t always happen all at once. Sometimes, it’s quiet. Personal. One breath at a time.

Today, a mom called asking how to gift our 30-day Float Challenge to her son. She shared that he struggles with anxiety…. and that floating has become something he truly loves, a place where he can finally feel at ease. She thanked us for opening.

Moments like this stay with us.

It’s a reminder that what we offer isn’t just a service. It’s a practice. A pause. A place to return to yourself.

That means everything to us.

We’re grateful to be here for you💙

This space has always been about more than floating.

It’s about what happens before and after, the quiet conversations, the exhale in the chair, the moment someone realizes they don’t have to rush back out into the world just yet.

That’s why we’re grateful to share this beautiful gift from our friend Lovinder Gill. A reminder of the journey from stress to stillness, and a reflection of what happens when someone gives themselves permission to slow down.

Shared moments. Generosity. Meaningful connection. Quite support.

Thank you for supporting our little corner of the world, and this sanctuary we all share. 🩵
