    Upon arrival you will be greeted by our friendly staff and taken through an induction to floating. This will involve filling in our booking form, a tour of the float tank room and answering any questions you may have. Once the induction has been completed you can remove and store your shoes near the grooming station. You can then go through to our private float rooms.

OUR TIPS TO FIRST TIME FLOATERS ARE AS FOLLOWS:

BEFORE YOU ARRIVE

Avoid shaving or waxing the day of your float. You may feel a slight stinging which can be distracting to your relaxation journey.

Try not to have caffeine or cigarettes at least 4 hours prior to your float.

Try not to over hydrate yourself (toilets are provided at reception).

Eating a couple of hours prior should be fine, but floating on a full stomach could be uncomfortable.

ARRIVAL

If it’s your first float, arrive 20 mins before your booking to allow time for paper work and a float induction.

If you have floated before, please arrive 10 mins before your booking. We recommend that during this time you use the washroom if needed.

INSIDE THE PRIVATE FLOAT ROOM

Enter your private float room and remove any makeup with the facial wipes provided.

Remove your clothing and any jewellery if worn and take a shower. 

Wash your hair and body with the shampoo and body wash provided. Dry your ears and put the ear plugs in.

Carefully get into the float tank via the step provided.

INSIDE THE FLOAT TANK

The room will remain dimly lit for the duration of your float. Once you slide the canopy of the tank shut there will be total darkness. If you have any reservations you may choose to leave the tank canopy open or partially open OR you may also choose to close the tank canopy (recommended) and leave on the interior tank light.

Gently lay down in the water, your body will bob up straight away due to the high concentration of Epsom salts.

Position yourself in the centre of the tank by touching your legs and arms to the sides of the tank slowly move your arms and legs away from the tank to a comfortable position. Usually with your arms above your head with elbows bent or positioned by your side palms down and elbows bent or where ever you find them most comfortable.

Take a few deep, controlled breaths, relax your head back and allow your body to relax. Music will lull you into your float for the first 10 minutes as you begin your journey to deep relaxation.
