At The Floatation Sanctuary, we are passionate about spreading awareness of the numerous benefits associated with floatation therapy, including pain relief, enhanced creativity, better sleep, and heightened self-awareness. By continually investing in research and staying up-to-date with the latest industry developments, we strive to offer the most effective and innovative floatation experiences to our clients. Come join us on a journey of self-discovery, relaxation, and transformation as you explore the limitless potential of floatation therapy.
The most incredible experience on every level. To walk out and be pain free for a few hours was the most amazing feeling. From the moment you walk through the doors there is a calmness and total pampering. The pre-talk is worth the time as it helps prepare you for floatation and it is not until afterward that you realise the value of the introduction. We will definitely be returning. Thank you so much for having created this beautiful space in our town.
