Why did I choose the name Float North?
It’s a directive: Float Northward
North is the direction of wisdom, nurturing, and letting go.

Floating gives clarity (wisdom), a place to feel held (nurturing), and the ultimate environment to let go.

“This was my second "float" visit. I wanted to be sure I had at least 2 visits before sharing my real experience. This is WONDERFUL! First, the facility is clean and inviting. Staff is great and fully explained what to do, what to expect, and how to best enjoy and take advantage of the experience. Secondly, I have never had a better and deeper meditative experience. Once, thus the need for a 2nd visit, I relaxed into the perfect water temp, the silence, and the darkness...I was calmed and soothed in mind and body. I booked a 3-visit discounted plan to be sure I gave this a real chance to succeed at my intended outcome. Or, find out it wasn't for me. I was able to close my mind and body to outside influences and disruption. Sink into myself. And, reach a real center of calm. Loved it. Can't recommend this enough.” -Cathy C

Float Tip: It’s ok to stretch and move!

When the mind starts to “Ping Pong”, sometimes a good stretch can help release some of that energy and bring you back to center.

Stretch it out!

Kickstart your week with a soft way to reset your nervous system! Join us, April 20th, 2026 at 6pm for an evening of deeply relaxing meditation and sound bath, with Sound healer Charlie Short!

$35 (w/ sliding scale $20), please reach out for sliding scale: Call/text 503-659-1212 or email hello@floatnorthpdx.com

This low pressure practice is a gentle, trauma-aware sound bath designed to help your nervous system slow down, release tension, and find stillness. If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, wired, or stretched thin, this session offers a space to soften.

You’ll be guided into an immersive sound bath using crystal singing bowls, chimes, tranquility harp, and other calming instruments to deepen that sense of being held (in sound).

This is not about fixing yourself or forcing change. It’s about giving your body a chance to settle, recalibrate, and embody a more regulated state.

Our Story

Imagine unpluging from your day in one of the most comfortable environments on earth. You’re temperature is just right, you’re lying down on a bed of salt water, you have control over the lights and music; as you close your eyes you start to feel the day shed from your mind and body. Each float brings you more relaxation and relief.

Float North offers the best massage and floatation therapy in Portland. We tailor each session to your needs and take your goals into account. Are you burnt out from stress? Are you a parent in need of some downtime? Are you an athlete recovering from training or preparing for an event? Are you a creative looking for more flow? Are you looking to improve your meditation practice?

There are so many reasons to combine floatation therapy and bodywork. Come in and experience the results for yourself! We offer Float 101 classes on a weekly basis to introduce you to the float environment and answer any questions you may have.
