Floatation
Therapy
550kg of dissolved Epsom salt. Water held at exactly body temperature. Complete darkness. Near-total silence. An hour in which your nervous system can do something it almost never gets to do: nothing.
The Enclosed Experience
Float Pods
The float pod is the most complete sensory withdrawal environment available, designed for one purpose: the complete removal of external stimulation. The pod is enclosed, soundproofed and lightproofed. You control whether the internal light is on or off, and the pod can be left slightly open if you prefer.
The water temperature is set to 35.5°C, the exact temperature of the skin surface, which means that after a few minutes, the boundary between body and water becomes ambiguous. You are not warm. You are not cold. You become, in a very literal sense, unaware of where you end and the water begins.
The extreme buoyancy of the salt solution means there is nothing to do to stay afloat. Your muscles do not need to fire. Your skeleton does not need to support. The entire muscular and nervous system, for the first time, has no mechanical task to perform.

The Open Experience
Float Room
All the salt. All the silence. No walls you can’t escape.
The float room offers an identical floatation experience, the same water chemistry, the same temperature, the same magnesium saturation, in a walk-in room rather than an enclosed pod. The room is large enough to stand upright and move comfortably. You can leave the lights on or off as you prefer, and the door is never locked.
The float room is particularly suited to: first-time floaters who want to familiarise themselves with the sensation; those who experience claustrophobia or anxiety in enclosed spaces; clients with mobility limitations; or those who simply prefer more space. The experience is no less profound, it is simply differently contained.
Many experienced floaters find they prefer the room; others find the pod’s enclosure is precisely what allows them to surrender more completely. There is no correct answer.

Evidence-Backed Benefits
What floating actually does.
The research is more substantial than most people expect. The Justin Feinstein lab at the Laureate Institute for Brain Research in Tulsa has conducted fMRI studies confirming the neural signatures of floatation. Here is what the evidence consistently shows.
Stress & Anxiety
Cortisol reduction of approximately 50% is consistently observed. Subjective anxiety ratings fall dramatically. fMRI studies show reduced amygdala activation, the brain’s fear and threat-processing centre. Effects persist for days after a session.
Chronic Pain
Float therapy is one of very few non-pharmacological interventions showing consistent measurable benefit for fibromyalgia, chronic lower back pain, neck pain and muscle tension. The combination of weightlessness, warmth and magnesium absorption addresses multiple pain pathways simultaneously.
Athletic Recovery
Elite athletes have used REST therapy since the 1980s for physical recovery and mental performance. The combination of complete muscular relaxation, anti-inflammatory magnesium absorption and visualisation states makes float therapy one of the most effective recovery protocols available.
Sleep Quality
Theta brainwave activity during floating is identical to the hypnagogic state immediately before sleep. Clients consistently report improvements in sleep depth, sleep onset and overall sleep quality in the days following a session, particularly relevant for those with insomnia or disrupted sleep cycles.
Magnesium Absorption
The magnesium in Epsom salt (magnesium sulphate) is absorbed transdermally during floatation. An estimated 800mg is absorbed in a 60-minute session, addressing one of the most prevalent nutritional deficiencies in the adult Western population. Magnesium is essential for over 300 enzymatic processes.
Creativity & Insight
The theta state produced during deep floating is associated with non-linear thinking, creative breakthrough and insight. Many clients report solving problems or arriving at perspectives that had been inaccessible in ordinary states. This is not anecdote, it is neurophysiology.
Your First Visit
What to expect
when you’ve never floated before.
The unknown is the only barrier. Here is exactly what happens.
01
Arrive & Shower
Arrive 15 minutes before your session. You shower before entering the float environment, this is non-negotiable and ensures water quality. Ear plugs are provided.
02
Enter the Water
You enter the pod or room and close the door (or not, your choice). The music fades after 10 minutes, signalling the start of your float. The light can stay on.
03
Let Go
There is nothing you need to do. You cannot sink. The water requires nothing of you. The only task is to allow, which, for most people, takes about 20 minutes to actually happen.
04
Music Returns
Music returns gently at the end of your session to bring you back. There’s no abrupt alarm. The transition is gradual. Take as long as you need before emerging.
05
Shower & Rest
Shower the salt off, spend time in the rest area if you want. Don’t rush. The integration period after a float is as important as the float itself.
