FAQ
Float Therapy FAQs
Everything first-time floaters usually ask.
What is float therapy?
Float therapy is also called sensory deprivation therapy, promoting deep relaxation and mental clarity.

Is it safe?
Yes, float therapy is proven safe for most individuals and offers numerous health benefits, including stress relief and enhanced well-being.
How long is a session?
You can choose a 60, 90 or 120-minute session. For a first float, 60 or 90 minutes is ideal; our packages are built around 90-minute sessions.
What should I wear?
You can float in your birthday suit or wear a swimsuit, whichever makes you most comfortable.
Can I float if I’m menstruating?
Unfortunately not, due to hygiene reasons. We recommend waiting until you’re in an alternate phase of your cycle before coming in to experience float therapy.
How do you keep the water clean?
Our extensive hygiene process includes 30 minutes after each session to clean and re-dress the rooms between appointments, as well as filter the pools. Our filters are designed for huge public pools, yet our pools are of personal size only. Each pool also has half a ton of salt in it, so no microorganism can thrive in this environment. We also require everyone to shower before and after their session.
Is it possible to drown while floating?
No. Even if you do fall asleep, you will be kept afloat at all times thanks to the density of the salt water. It is impossible to sink. Worst case, you might get some water in your eyes.
What is a couples float?
A couples float is when two people (generally a couple) float in the same room together. You are welcome to float with anyone you wish, but be aware you will likely be nude or in a swimsuit next to them in a two-person pool.
Should I eat or drink anything before my session?
You don’t want to be starving, as your stomach’s noises will distract from the experience. You also don’t want to be too full, as being bloated while floating can feel quite unpleasant. A light meal two or so hours before your session is fine; just be sure not to drink anything but water – no energy drinks, alcohol or caffeine (so that you can fully relax).
