Before You Float

How do I prepare for the Float?

Avoid alcohol and stimulants like coffee, tea or smoking at least two hours prior to entering the floatation tank.
Do not shave at least three hours prior to floating. This will avoid any stinging from the salt.
Do not float if you are ill, have an active or contagious skin condition or have any large open wounds. (One exception is to use a waterproof bandage.)
Small scratches such as a paper cut can be covered with a spray bandage to avoid the salt from stinging while in the tank. You will not be allowed to float if you have any open wounds, or a skin rash.
If you are on your period and bleeding heavily, you should wait to float another day.
Remember to bring your contact lenses case and solution if you wear contacts. Many people have reported no problems when floating with their contact lenses in, but the decision is up to you.
If you care to listen to your own music, meditation or learning CD's or MP3 recordings please bring them with you. The floatation tanks are equipped with audio. (It is not recommended to float with sound on your 1st few floats, since it is best to get accustomed to floatation therapy, before adding audio)
If you have swimmers ear, are prone to ear infections or any inner ear condition that may be irritated by water, please bring your own ear water specific plugs, we supply standard disposable ear plugs only.

We supply towels, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, ear plugs, hair dryer, tea and water. For sanitation reasons you will need to bring a comb or brush and any special lotions or cosmetics you care to use after your float. You do not need to bring a bathing suit, it is preferable to float in the nude.

The most important thing is to relax and enjoy!

If you are a first time floater we recommend that you plan for three float sessions, scheduled approximately one week apart. Although there are many exceptions, generally it can take up to 3 floats to receive the full benefits of floating and get accustomed to the process. We offer many packages to help reduce the cost of multiple float sessions.

What to expect:

If you are coming alone put please plan on spending 1.5 hours with us for a 1 hour float. Couples should plan on 2 hours.

As a new floater this is what you can expect:

You will be given water to ensure that you are well hydrated before the float, followed by a 10 minute orientation with a little history about floatation tanks, and how to safely enter and exit the tank. Please feel free to ask any questions about floating at this time. Then you will be asked to shower, and you must be 100% clean prior to entering the tank. Robes, shoes and disposable ear plugs are provided. Once your hour is up, we will knock on the tank letting you know it's time to exit the tank. You need to then ensure you are dry, and not dripping with salt when you walk to the shower. The bathroom is well supplied with shampoo, conditioner body wash and moisturizers, along with blow dryers. Once you return to the gallery, we will have water and a cup of hot tea waiting for you.
