YOUR 1st FLOAT
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 30 minutes before appointment time. (Those who arrive late will need to reschedule—this is to preserve the quietness and integrity of all our floats, which we start simultaneously.)
- Avoid shaving, tanning, waxing—or anything else that would increase the sensitivity of your skin.
- We provide Vaseline in each Pod Suite 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 sandals, towels, shampoo, conditioner, body wash and a prep room with blow dryers, lotions, q-tips, etc.
- We encourage clients to float nude for the greatest experience—each room is private and features its own shower and changing area. Of course, feel free to bring a swimsuit if you prefer.
- Those under the influence of alcohol or drugs are not permitted to float.
TAKE A TOUR
Your Float Session
- After showering you may enter your Float Pod, which contains just 10 inches of water.
- You may leave your Pod’s lid open, propped, or closed for your float. The lid is on hydraulic arms and opens easily when pushed.
- Lie back gently; the buoyancy of the water will effortlessly support you.
- Once your session has started you will have access to your control buttons—including your light and music.
- To enhance relaxation we offer 10 minutes of soothing music to start—and wrap up your session with 5 minutes of music at the end.
- You may also bring your own music for your floats or opt for alternate music options in the future—ask your float consultant to show you how!
- The float has ended once your Pod’s filtration system comes on and the water starts to move.
- Don’t worry, if you doze off and miss your cue to exit, we will let you know the session has ended via your Float Pod’s intercom!
- You are in full control of your light (which features a variety of options) during your session. We recommend turning it off for the deepest experience—but this will always be up to you.
- Refrain from touching your face while in the Float Pod to avoid getting salt into your eyes. That being said, we provide squirt bottles of fresh water in each pod 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 Prep Room which features 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. We hope you’ll consider returning time and time again to experience the Science of Feeling Great.
