Getting through the Holidays is basically an Olympic sport. Between the spending, rushing, and pretending to like all the Holiday invites, our bodies (and electrolytes) deserve some serious backup. That’s why Float North is here to remind you that the best gifts don’t need bows, just good intentions and instant relief.

Cryoderm Roll-On is a powerhouse topical that delivers fast-acting, penetrant pain relief. Used in session by our massgae therapist, Crydoderm is perfect for the friend who says “I think I slept weird” every. single. Morning.

Ultima Electrolyte Mix is the perfect gift for the friend who’s been “running on vibes” since October or the one who’s already planning their January wellness comeback. Electrolytes help replenish minerals lost through stress, sweat, caffeine, and that third cup of spiked cocoa.

Epsom salt is the ideal gift for sore muscles, stressed minds, and anyone carrying the weight of the holiday season.

Pain relief and hydration are the holiday duo you didn’t know you needed. Perfect for every stocking, every celebration, and every body. Find your Hoilday gift in store at Float North today!

The Wailing Ceremony
Tuesday, November 11th • 6:30–9:30 pm
Sliding scale: $25–75 • Limited to 25 participants

Step into a sacred container for communal grieving and care. Together, we’ll gather around a collective altar carried by the steady heartbeat of the drum, to move what weighs on the soul. Through ceremony, sharing circle, drumming, poetry, and movement, we remember the ancient medicine of grief and belonging in community. Please bring objects of strength, sorrow, and beauty for the altar. Water, tea, a journal, or a blanket are welcome but not required.

This space is designed for those who have attended grief rituals before, but if you’re new and feel called to join, you are welcome. Please email us before arriving so we can help prepare you for the experience.

Come give voice to your sorrow. To wail, to move, to be witnessed together.

In a world that feels a little unpredictable, the best gifts aren’t things; they’re experiences that bring balance, calm, and a sense of control back into our lives. This year, skip the clutter and give your friends and family something that truly supports their wellbeing; a chance to pause, breathe, and reset.

✨ Give the Gift of Calm: A 90-minute float session to melt away stress and reconnect with inner stillness.
✨ Give the Gift of Care: A therapeutic massage that reminds them how good it feels to feel good.
✨ Give the Gift of Presence: A Trifecta allows moments of quiet, reflection, and peace in a noisy season.

Thoughtful gifts create lasting impact and not landfill waste. Let’s make this holiday one that restores rather than consumes. Explore our mindful gift card options in-studio or online at https://floatnorth.floathelm.com/store/giftcards and give the people you love the space to truly rest.

Enter the tank… if you dare…

In total darkness and silence, your senses disappear and something magical happens: your body fully lets go. The stress melts away. The noise fades. It’s just you and the weightless calm of the water. It might sound spooky, but it’s actually hauntingly peaceful. Float therapy is the ultimate trick for your nervous system and the sweetest treat you can give yourself this Halloween season.

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.
