WHAT IS FLOAT THERAPY (REDUCED ENVIRONMENTAL STIMULATION THERAPY): Imagine floating weightless ...  your muscles relax, your joints expand and let go, your breath deepens, your eyes easily close, pain subsides, your mind drifts.... You feel your relationship to gravity through the lack of it. You may move your body to see how it feels to move without gravity. You may be in darkness or choose from a rainbow of light colors. You may drift off to sleep (don't worry it's totally safe to do so, you will stay safe and afloat).

Our Float Pod, is filled with 150 gallons of water in which 900 lbs of Epsom Salt is dissolved. The water is body temperature and so is the air in the pod. You can have complete darkness and complete silence or if you prefer, you can have lights including various colors and/or guided meditation or meditation music. The water in the Pod is so highly salinated that  you will just float. You can't sink. Many people even fall asleep and are perfectly safe. With all of the salt very few organisms can survive but we also have a sterilization system that filters the water and uses ozone and uvc light to decontaminate. So the water is sparkling clean for each client. 

Float therapy or sensory deprivation, while often associated with New Age woowoo, is actually a child of science. The idea behind Float Therapy is to remove all stimulus from the environment to give the brain time to rest and process all the stimulus it receives. The original float tank was invented by John C. Lilly, a neuroscientist, in 1954 to study the effects of sensory deprivation on the human brain. His work has been carried on by neuroscientist Justin Feinstein and his colleagues at the Laureate Institute for Brain Research in Tulsa, OK. Through the use of Float Pods, fMRI and EEG machines,  they are studying how float therapy can help patients develop body/mind  awareness and improve common mental health conditions. And the results are promising. 

Now you can enjoy Float Therapy right here in Flagstaff. Curious? Come give floating a try. And remember the effects of floating are cumulative, so regular floats are recommended.
"Wonderful feel when you come here.  Not only professional, but treat you with loving care.  Try the float tank for an hour of bliss and quiet." - Patrick M.

WHAT TO EXPECT WITH FLOAT THERAPY:
  • ​The first and best advice for your first float is don't have expectations. Go into your float experience with an open mind, ready to let go.
  • You will have the room to your self so you can wear your bathing suit or your birthday suit, it's up to you. 
  • We provide everything, towels, robes, sandals, ear plugs, Vitamin A&D ointment for cut or scrapes. an exfoliating glove, Q-Tips, a Float Ease Headrest and Fragrance and Allergen free Body Wash, Shampoo, and Conditioner (to be used only after the float not before).
  • Per our policy, you are required to shower beforehand. This includes cleaning your hair and face with Shampoo or Body Wash so the water doesn't get contaminated with any oils, lotions, or conditioner. We highly recommend showering afterwards to get the excess salt off of your body and out of your hair. You are more than welcome to use the conditioner during your post-Float shower, but it is not permitted for use before your Float. Contamination of the water in the Float tank in any way carries a Cleaning and Salt replacement fee of $1000. 
  • Although we do encourage you to try sensory deprivation so no sound or light (sensory deprivation or Reduced Environmental Stimulation Therapy) we understand this can be intimidating. You will have the option for light and sound within the Float Pod. There is a variety of different colored lights available (Chromotherapy) and a selection of relaxing music and guided meditations that can be provided for you. Both light and sound can be controlled from inside the Float Pod.
  • The temperature of the water inside the Float Pod is body temperature and so is the air. This assures that you won't get too hot or too cold during your session and can stay in for the full hour. We do not provide the option to alter the water temperature.
  • An alarm will let you know when your time is up.
  • The lid to the Float Pod is manual, so you have complete control over whether it is open or closed during your Float. You are not required to keep the lid closed, but we do recommend keeping it closed to help maintain the temperature of the water. The only downside to keeping the lid open is that you might get chilly.
  • You are in control of the session at all times. You can do what ever you need to do to feel comfortable. 
"I was not really sure what to expect with my first time doing a floating session, but it was AMAZING." - Ellie S.
  • Avoid shaving 48 hours before your session
  • Avoid caffeine or other stimulants
  • Do not dye hair or receive a Keratin treatment 2 weeks before floating
  • Don't wear contacts to your session
HOW TO PREPARE FOR FLOAT THERAPY:
  • Shower, it is required that you shower with soap and shampoo here at the clinic, even if you showered at home
  • Anticipate a period of acclimation. This is unlike anything you've done before and it may​​ take a few minutes for your mind to adjust. Take a few breaths, you are safe. It is useful to come already relaxed. Try not to plan anything before or after that will leave you rattled or stressed. 
  • Eat a light meal or snack. Don't come in on an over full or empty stomach
  • Do not drink alcohol or use drugs 24 hours before your float session.
