Float Therapy

Are there any restrictions on when I can float?

You should not float if you are experiencing respiratory symptoms, are menstruating, have infectious diseases, open wounds, or skin ulcers, have a perforated eardrum, are incontinent or have had diarrhea in the last 3 days, have uncontrolled epilepsy, have recently dyed hair that still bleeds colour when washed, are intoxicated or using drugs, or have just used artificial tanning products. Freshly shaved or waxed skin may sting. Please check with a health practitioner if you have heart or kidney conditions or are sensitive to magnesium. Breastfeeding clients should consult with us before booking.

What should I wear whilst floating?

Floating takes place in a private room—no clothing or swimwear is needed or recommended. High salt concentration can form crystals in clothing, causing discomfort.

Will I feel claustrophobic in the pod?

The pod interior is as wide as a queen-size bed and 1.25 m high—you can’t touch roof of pod whilst floating. You control the lid and lighting. For extra space, our open float pool is larger and has no lid.

Can I exit the pod at any time?

Yes—you’re in full control. You can open the lid and exit whenever you wish.

Is the water hygienic and changed between sessions?

After every session, the pods or pool are fully drained and the water goes through a multi-stage filtration process with hydrogen peroxide, UV, particle filters, sand/glass filters, and storage. The solution contains ~500 kg of food-grade Epsom salts, creating an environment hostile to microbes. Pods and pool are sanitized between clients.

What should I bring?

Bring a hair comb/brush and a water bottle. We supply organic shampoo & conditioner, towels, hairdryer, and Sukin skincare products. No swimsuit is needed.

How should I prepare before floating?

Eat a light meal about 2 hours before (don’t float hungry or overly full), arrive well hydrated, avoid caffeine for 4–5 hours before, avoid shaving or waxing right before, and remove contact lenses before entering. Other than that—just be open to a wonderful experience!

Can anyone float?

Yes—our pods and pool accommodate all sizes and shapes. Suitable for ages 14+, though you must be able to enter and exit unaided. Floating may help reduce pain, improve sleep, relieve stress/anxiety, and aid recovery.

Is it safe during pregnancy?

Yes—the water is kept at ~35 °C (skin temperature). You’ll enjoy weightlessness and boosted magnesium/sulfate levels. We allow up to 37 weeks, though please consult your healthcare provider if complications are present.

What’s in the tank?

The tank holds purified water saturated with food-grade Epsom salts (magnesium sulfate). Magnesium supports over 325 enzymes, muscle control, energy production and detox; sulfate aids toxin elimination, nutrient absorption, joint/brain protein formation, and headache relief. Many people are magnesium-deficient.
