1,100 lbs of Epsom salt. Body weightless. Mind silent. One of the deepest forms of rest available to the nervous system.
Float experience — also known as sensory deprivation experience — is a deeply restorative experience in which you float effortlessly in warm water, completely supported by 1,100 lbs of dissolved Epsom salt. This highly buoyant solution creates a sensation of complete weightlessness, removing all gravitational load from your body while eliminating external light and sound. With all sensory input removed, your mind rapidly descends into a profound meditative state. Your brain begins producing theta waves — the same deeply creative and restorative brainwaves that occur just at the threshold of sleep. Many clients report feeling calmer, looser, and deeply restored. The experience is designed to quiet the nervous system and support whole-body relaxation.
Duration: 45–120 minutes. Price from $110.
