Float Therapy
Float Therapy (also referred to as floating) can have positive effects on your physical and mental health, as well as being good for the soul.
Your journey to float therapy begins by entering a sensory deprivation pod filled with 30cm of water infused with 600kg of magnesium sulphate (Epsom salts), allowing your body to float effortlessly. The water is warmed to outer skin temperature. Each pod is approximately 230cm long by 150cm wide, allowing most people, regardless of their body shape or size, to fit comfortably.
The pods are designed to block out all light, allowing you to disconnect from external stimulation. Disconnecting enhances your ability to connect with yourself cognitively, mindfully and introspectively, which may include a high level of focus, processing, reflection and thinking. The silence and stillness inside the pod allow you to achieve a deep meditative state of theta brainwaves, which simulates a therapeutic, dream-like state. Achieving this state for 1 hour can deliver the equivalent of hours of restful sleep. You may feel more vibrant after completing your session.
Float therapy creates a unique environment that can facilitate flow state. It fosters a calm space to allow you to let go of stress and anxiety. This state of being deeply relaxed yet highly focused can help you be creative, activate full consciousness, visualise and explore a peak mental state, and rejuvenate.
From a physical perspective, escaping gravity allows for the release of muscular and skeletal tension built up from daily life. You can rest in a healthy, natural, stretched posture while maximising training gains and minimising muscle soreness, fatigue or injury. Feeling less pain certainly provides welcome stress relief!

Frequently Asked Questions
How should I prepare for my first float?
- Abstain from consuming caffeine for several hours before you float (it can make you jittery).
- Don’t wax or shave on the day of your float as the salt can irritate your skin.
- We suggest eating a light meal about 60 – 90 minutes before floating.
- Don’t drink too much water before you float. You don’t want to have to get out of the tank to use the bathroom!
Can I float with the lid open?
Absolutely! If you have claustrophobia, you can leave the lid open. You are in complete control! The pods do not have locks or latches, but they are well ventilated. You can open the door at any time.
Do I have to stay in the whole time?
No. You can get out whenever you feel like it.
Should I wear a bathing suit or float naked?
Floating naked is highly recommended! Fabric can interfere with/stimulate your sense of touch. That said, it’s entirely up to you. Do what makes you feel comfortable.
Can I float if I'm pregnant?
Of course! Floating is very beneficial for pregnant women. There is even a special position you can float in that relieves all of the weight of the baby off of the mother’s body. However, if you are in your first trimester, it is advised that you do not float. If you have any concerns, please consult with your physician before coming in.
Can I float with my partner?
Our Dreampods can only accommodate 1 person at a time. However, we do have 4 float rooms so you can book with a friend and float simultaneously!
