We offer:

Float Therapy, aka sensory deprivation. Floating reduces pain, anxiety, & depression, & supports creativity & meditation.

Massage, including deep tissue & trauma-informed bodywork. Sound Therapy, helps sensitive folks regulate & find balance. Sleep better, gain clarity, and feel physically amazing with our first-time floater recommendation: a float massage combo! Floating is an effortless way to soothe and heal the body. You can perhaps, for the first time in your life, experience total relaxation and deep healing in your own private, peaceful space. Massage therapy is one of the oldest forms of medicine. Aches and pains begone with a massage tailored to your exact needs.

We couldn’t love this review more. Thank you for sharing your experience with us. If you’ve never tried adding sound therapy to your session, here’s why it hits so differently: The vibrations help your body drop deeper into relaxation, your nervous system gets an extra layer of calm and balance, it enhances the post-massage/float “ahhh” feeling, and honestly… it just makes everything feel more magical.

Whether you’re floating, unwinding on the massage table, or pairing all three, sound therapy helps your mind and body sync into a deeper state of rest. Book your session today!

Once upon a time, in a faraway land, there lived a very stressed human who thought they were fine. They ignored the signs: the shoulder that clicked whenever you lifted something, the neck that moved only 30% to the left, and the lower back that made a sound like crumpling wrapping paper every morning. But still, they whispered the ancient phrase: “I just need to stretch more.” (They don’t actually stretch.)

One day, this brave soul wandered into Float North and accidentally booked a 90-minute massage. Not 60 minutes. Not 75. A full, luxurious, “I might drool on the table and that’s okay” 90 minutes. And what happened next? Their shoulders relaxed, their spine sang, and their brain rebooted like it hadn’t since 2015. When they stood up, they gained three inches of confidence and spiritually became a houseplant in a sunny window. Moral of the story: Don’t be the stressed villager. Book your 90-minute massage today and channel your inner houseplant.

Somewhere between the gift wrapping, cookie baking, and pretending you didn’t eat all the peppermint bark… your nervous system is begging for a break. This season, give yourself and loved ones the gift of slowing way down.

Our SomaWave session melts stress faster than a snowflake on a hot cocoa mug, leaving you calm, grounded, and actually able to enjoy the magic of December. You deserve a moment of peace amid the merry madness. Treat yourself (or someone you love) to a holiday reset. Book your rest today!

Not sure what to get someone? Give them 90 minutes where no one can bother them. Truly, the ideal gift for anyone tired, stressed, or done with adulting. A float or massage gift card says, “I care about you,” but also, “I didn’t panic-shop this at the last minute.” It’s thoughtful and incredibly easy, the holiday sweet spot!

Give 90 minutes of alone time this Holiday Season and have your loved ones do absolutely nothing in the new year. Buy your gift cards today at https://floatnorthpdx.com/gift-cards/.

"In my experience, the biggest issue people have with sticking to a regular massage schedule isn't knowledge, time, or planning, it is knowing that you are worth it. You need to take care of yourself before you take care of others or you'll get resentful and burn out." - Dana Highfill, Float North Owner

Getting through the holidays can be… a lot. At Float North, we believe in slowing down, softening your edges, and giving your nervous system a moment to exhale.

Here are a few reminders as you move through the season:
✨ Lower the bar, you don’t have to be “on” for everyone.
✨ Build in micro-breaks (book a Float or Massage).
✨ Protect your peace with simple boundaries.
✨ Make space for something you enjoy.

If the holidays feel heavy or overwhelming, know that our doors are open and the tank is warm. Float North is here to support your calm, your rest, and your reset.

The Holidays ask a lot of your heart. Let us hold some of that weight. Float therapy gives you a moment to breathe, soften, and reconnect with yourself. Between the parties, the cooking, the gifting, and the chaos, remember to prioritize your peace. Don’t wait until you're at your breaking point, book your next 90-minute float today!

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.
