Sometimes you have to float a few times to really get the hang of it. The first Float can sometimes have you feeling a little anxious about navigating a new and unique space. You’re learning how to control the tank and your mind. Once you floated once you’re usually hankering for another go to really relax. That’s why we invented the intro two pack of Floats. Once you floated once with us, you can purchase your next 2 floats for only $110. Now those two Float credits are just for you and not to be given to others. However, if you’d like to combine those two Floats and Float Tandem in our big deluxe tank, give us a call and we can arrange that for you.

Because the water is neither warmer nor cooler than the body, the skin receptors stop reporting temperature differences to the brain. When combined with the weightlessness of the high-density salt water, you lose the sensation of where your body ends and the water begins. This allows the brain to “let go” of sensory input, leading to profound mental and physical relaxation.

When we’re not busting our humps, cleaning rooms and folding towels, James and Amy like to take us out on the town. This time we went to see the Maine Mariners. James arranged to get us out there on the ice and it was super cool.

Floating in a sensory deprivation tank triggers a deep relaxation response that causes the brain to release high levels of endorphins—natural, “feel-good” chemicals—leading to profound stress relief, pain reduction, and euphoria. The combination of warm, Epsom salt water and zero sensory input decreases cortisol and adrenaline, while boosting endorphins, which can improve mood and alleviate anxiety long after the session ends.

No, floating in a sensory deprivation tank does not make you permanently taller. It can, however, lead to a temporary increase in height due to spinal decompression in a zero-gravity environment.

When you float in the highly buoyant Epsom salt water solution, your body is completely supported, creating a zero-gravity environment that relieves pressure on your joints and muscles. This lack of gravity allows the intervertebral discs in your spine to decompress and rehydrate, similar to how astronauts experience a temporary height increase in space. This spinal elongation is a temporary physical effect. Once you return to an upright, gravity-bound posture and resume your normal daily activities, the effects of gravity will cause your spine to compress again, and your height will return to its standard measurement.

Floating offers significant relief for menopause symptoms by reducing stress, improving sleep, and soothing joint pain through deep relaxation and magnesium absorption. The, buoyant, Epsom salt-infused water helps lower cortisol levels—a key trigger for hot flashes—while easing physical discomforts like aches and insomnia.

Floating is great for rehab because its zero-gravity environment removes pressure from muscles and joints, while magnesium-rich water reduces inflammation and aids muscle recovery, accelerating healing from injury or intense exercise, relieving pain, and calming the nervous system for deep mental and physical rejuvenation.

JUST BRING YOURSELF
We provide everything you need to float!
No need to bring a swimsuit or towel, towels are provided and swimsuits are discouraged. If you wear contacts, you’ll want to bring a case to keep them in while you float. Feel free to bring any personal items you may want for after showering, such as a hairbrush or deoderant. FLOAT
Consider these important suggestions before your appointment to optimize comfort during your float:

You may want to eat at a light meal beforehand, both hungry and full floating can be distracting. Avoid having too much caffeine, as it will be easier to relax without. Avoid shaving to reduce any stinging sensation.
