FIRST TIME FLOATING?

Congratulations on being one step closer to ‘Floating’ for the first time!

Please ARRIVE 15 Minutes before your appointment to allow our friendly staff to provide you with some important information. Below is a list of a things that you need to be aware of before your first float, so please read carefully.

What to Expect?

As explained by a pre-eminent scientist; “Floating is a method of attaining the deepest rest that humankind has ever experienced.” Essentially, you’ll be spending an hour or so lying quietly in the dark, suspended in a warm solution of Epsom salt, about 10″ deep, and so dense that you float effortlessly.

Soft and gentle meditative music will be played to help you relax and, then eventually turned off so are left in the complete serenity of silence. You may keep the starry lighting on if you wish.

What you need to know:

Special Note for Oncology Patient: Anyone who had oncology treatment in the last 12 months, please contact the studio at 9598 9313 to discuss your options prior to making your booking.  This is important as we do not recommend anyone who is undergoing radiation or chemotherapy to float until 4 weeks after your last final treatment.

• Please arrive at least 15 minutes before your first float to read some guidelines and complete a waiver form.
• You are floating in 650kg or Epsom salts with 50% concentration of magnesium.  Amazing for recovery of tension in muscle, joints and mind.
• You will be in your own private suite which consists of a private hower suite and a private float room.
• You will be floating in the ‘nude’ and do not wear bathers to ensure there is very little constrictions or sensory stimulation on skin and body.
• You will have full control of the lights – we have special star lights to ease our floaters into darkness.
