A proven holistic therapy for mind & body
Preparing for Your Float
- It’s easy to REST, but we do make several recommendations to ensure your float is the best it can be, every time!
- The Day of Your Float:
- New clients need to arrive 15 minutes before appointment time.
- Avoid shaving, tanning, waxing—or anything else that would increase the sensitivity of your skin.
- We provide Vaseline to protect any small cuts and grazes from stinging!
- Hair color needs to be “set” before coming in to float (your shower water is running completely clear). Please reschedule if it is not.
- We encourage clients to avoid caffeine for at least 4 hours before floating for the most relaxing experience.
- Females experiencing their menstrual cycle the day of their float MUST reschedule their appointments—thank you!
- Because floating is so relaxing, if you come on an empty stomach, you may be distracted by stomach grumbles.
- We recommend eating something small prior to your float, but allowing at least 30 minutes to digest before your appointment.
What to Bring:
- There’s a lot of salt in our float spas. Thus, it is best to avoid wearing your “best clothes”. We recommend comfortable garments that are easy to change in and out of.
- We provide spa slippers, towels, shampoo, conditioner, body wash and blow dryers, lotions, q-tips, etc.
- We encourage clients to float nude for the greatest experience—the room is private and features its own shower and changing area. Of course, feel free to bring a swimsuit if you prefer.
- Please bring a comb or brush if you need one.
- Your Float Session
- After showering you may enter the Oasis System, which contains just 10-11 inches of water.
- You may leave the door open, propped, or closed for your float.
- Lie back gently; the buoyancy of the water will effortlessly support you.
- The float has ended when you hear quiet music or a gentle knock on your private room.
- Don’t worry, if you doze off and miss your cue to exit, we will let you know the session has ended.
- Refrain from touching your face while in the Oasis System to avoid getting salt into your eyes. That being said, we provide squirt bottles of fresh water as a precaution!
- Initially, pain or tension in the body may seem more noticeable. This is due to the float’s ability to eliminate the typical distractions we face. Simply breathe and know that this is normal. As the session progresses sensations will dissipate.
- After Your Session…
- After your session, feel free to use our blow dryers, lotions and q-tips—please bring a comb or brush if need be.
- We greatly encourage each client to spend time in their spa’s Oasis lounge after their float. Ask your float consultant to try our oxygen bar and enjoy some of our freshly brewed herbal tea. We’d love if you shared your experience in our guest journal, too!
- Flotation is a serious therapy; drink plenty of water after your session!
Pay Attention
- Flotation’s benefits carry into the days following your session. Take note of how you feel in the next few days.
- Did you sleep better? How are your pain levels? Do you notice a lighter, more carefree mood?
- When we feel better, life feels better, too.
