We specialize in floatation therapy services including single float sessions (60 or 90 minutes) for individuals seeking weightlessness and deep relaxation, couples float sessions (60 or 90 minutes) floating side-by-side in large tank sharing experience, promotional packages (4-session bundles for singles or couples) for consistent practice and better value, and free consultations with specialist discussing floatation experience. State-of-the-art float tanks providing sensory deprivation therapy for stress relief, pain management, and deep meditation. Expert floatation therapy serving Hermitage, Nashville, Donelson, and Middle Tennessee.
Float therapy, also called floatation therapy or sensory deprivation, involves floating effortlessly in enclosed tank filled with water saturated with Epsom salt (magnesium sulfate). Water heated to skin temperature (93.5°F) creating sensation of weightlessness. High salt concentration (over 1,000 pounds) makes floating effortless - impossible to sink. Tank environment eliminates external stimuli - no light, sound, gravity, or temperature sensation - allowing mind and body to enter deeply relaxed state. Benefits include profound stress relief, pain reduction, improved sleep, enhanced creativity, accelerated recovery, and meditative mental clarity. Natural therapeutic experience supporting both physical and mental wellbeing.
Float session options include single float session 60 minutes indulging in hour of weightlessness in state-of-art float tank designed for individuals, single float session 90 minutes extended journey into deep tranquility with longer duration allowing deeper relaxation and mental stillness, couples float session 60 minutes restorative experience for two people floating side-by-side in large tank sharing peaceful journey, and couples float session 90 minutes extended shared relaxation allowing couples to reach deeper state of calm together. Choose 60 minutes for introduction to floating or maintenance sessions, 90 minutes for deeper meditation and profound relaxation. All sessions in private rooms with state-of-the-art float tanks.
Float therapy benefits include profound stress relief as sensory deprivation allows nervous system to deeply relax, pain reduction from weightlessness relieving pressure on joints and muscles, improved sleep quality from magnesium absorption and deep relaxation, enhanced mental clarity and focus from meditative state, reduced anxiety and depression symptoms, accelerated muscle recovery for athletes, relief from chronic pain conditions like fibromyalgia and arthritis, lowered blood pressure and cortisol levels, boosted creativity and problem-solving from theta brainwave state, improved skin health from Epsom salt, and overall sense of profound peace and wellbeing. Regular floating provides cumulative benefits addressing both body and mind holistically.
Yes, couples float sessions allow two people to float side-by-side in large specially-designed tank sharing peaceful restorative experience. Available in 60-minute or 90-minute sessions. Perfect for romantic couples, friends, or family members wanting to share unique bonding experience. Each person floats independently in same tank - not literally touching but sharing same peaceful environment and journey together. Creates shared experience of deep relaxation and tranquility. Popular for date nights, anniversaries, Valentine's Day, or introducing partner to floating. Also offer 4-session couples package (4-Float Special C60) for couples committed to making floating part of their wellness routine together.
Float packages include 4-Float Special S60 four individual 60-minute sessions designed for consistent single-person use providing better value than individual sessions, 4-Float Special C60 four 60-minute sessions specifically for couples ideal for two people making floating part of shared wellness routine, and 4-Float Special S90 four individual 90-minute sessions with longer duration perfect for dedicated users seeking deeper experiences. Packages encourage regular practice - consistent floating provides greatest cumulative benefits. Better value than booking individual sessions. Perfect for those committed to incorporating floating into regular self-care routine or wanting to gift series of sessions. Packages don't expire allowing use at your own pace.
Choose 60 minutes for first-time floaters getting introduced to experience, regular maintenance floats, or when time/budget is limited. Hour provides adequate time to relax, release tension, and experience benefits. Choose 90 minutes for deeper meditation and profound mental stillness, experienced floaters wanting extended journey, addressing chronic pain or stress, or seeking maximum therapeutic benefits. Extended time allows body and mind to move beyond initial relaxation into deeper restorative states and theta brainwave meditation. Many first-timers find 60 minutes perfect introduction. As you become experienced, 90 minutes allows fuller exploration of deep meditative states floating can provide.
First float session begins with orientation explaining process, showing you private float room, and answering questions. You'll shower before entering tank removing oils and products. Enter tank nude or in swimsuit (your choice), lie back in warm salt water, and float effortlessly. Close lid for full sensory deprivation or leave slightly open if preferred. Gentle music plays first few minutes helping you settle, then silence. Your only task is to relax and let go. Some people meditate, some problem-solve, some simply drift. After session, gentle music signals end. Shower again removing salt, dry off, and reorient in relaxation room. First float is exploration - each subsequent float typically deepens as you learn to let go more fully.
Yes, float therapy is very safe when practiced at reputable facility with properly maintained tanks. Water filtered between each session using powerful filtration and UV sterilization. High salt concentration naturally antimicrobial. Tanks designed with safety features and you're never locked in - can exit anytime. Not recommended for those with certain conditions: uncontrolled epilepsy, open wounds or skin infections, recent hair coloring (may bleed color), severe mental illness without professional guidance, or recently permed/chemically treated hair. Pregnant women should consult doctor first though many find floating beneficial. Consult with our staff during free consultation if you have specific health concerns. Most people can safely enjoy profound benefits of floating.
Float frequency depends on goals and budget. For chronic pain or high stress, weekly or bi-weekly sessions initially provide significant relief with cumulative benefits. For maintenance and general wellness, monthly or bi-monthly floats sustain benefits. For athletic recovery, floating after intense training accelerates healing. For meditation practice, regular weekly sessions deepen practice. Many floaters find 1-2 times monthly provides consistent stress management and wellbeing. More frequent floating initially helps learn to let go and fully relax. Our 4-session packages encourage consistent practice providing better value for regular floaters. Experiment finding frequency that works for your needs, schedule, and budget.
We provide everything you need: towels, earplugs, shower amenities (shampoo, conditioner, body wash), and post-float care products. Simply bring yourself. Recommendations: don't shave day-of as salt water can sting, remove contact lenses before floating, avoid caffeine few hours before for easier relaxation, and don't use heavy conditioner or styling products that day as you'll shower before and after. Arrive few minutes early for check-in and orientation. Wear comfortable clothing for before and after. That's it - we provide peaceful environment and state-of-art float tanks, you provide willingness to let go and relax into unique restorative experience.
Yes, many people with claustrophobia successfully enjoy floating. Our state-of-art float tanks are spacious and you control the experience - you can leave lid open, crack it slightly, or close it fully. You're never locked in and can exit anytime. Inside tank is completely dark when lid closed (or can leave light on if preferred) so you don't see walls. Most claustrophobic individuals find floating liberating once they try it - the sensation of infinite space in darkness often feels freeing rather than confining. Start with lid open or cracked, gradually closing as you become comfortable. Free consultation allows discussing concerns before booking. Many claustrophobic floaters become our most enthusiastic regular clients.
Many people drift into deeply relaxed state between waking and sleeping during float. Some actually fall asleep - this is safe as the high salt concentration keeps you floating on surface even if asleep. However, most people experience unique 'theta state' - brainwave pattern between waking and sleeping characterized by deep meditation, creativity, and profound relaxation. This state is where many therapeutic benefits occur. Whether you sleep, meditate, or drift in theta state, your body receives benefits. Salt water supports you effortlessly so there's no danger of slipping under water. Simply relax and allow whatever experience comes naturally. Each float can be different.
Float tank water is heated to approximately 93.5°F (34.5°C) - skin-receptor neutral temperature. At this precise temperature, you stop feeling where your body ends and water begins. Creates unique sensation of infinite space and weightlessness. Water is neither hot nor cold - you simply lose awareness of temperature difference between air and water. This neutral temperature is crucial part of sensory deprivation allowing mind to let go of body awareness and enter deep meditative state. Water maintains consistent temperature throughout session using precise heating system. Comfortable environment requires no adjustment or acclimation - immediately feels natural allowing full relaxation.
Yes, free consultation is brief no-commitment session with specialist to discuss floatation experience. Opportunity to ask questions, tour facility, see float tanks, discuss any concerns or health considerations, learn what to expect, and determine if floating is right for you. Particularly valuable for first-time floaters, those with health questions, or anyone uncertain about sensory deprivation experience. No pressure or obligation - simply informational conversation ensuring you're comfortable and informed before booking first float. We want everyone to have positive experience, so consultation helps address concerns and set appropriate expectations. Contact us to schedule your free consultation.
Many pregnant women find floating incredibly beneficial providing unique relief from pregnancy discomforts. Weightlessness takes pressure off back, hips, and joints - one of few times during pregnancy where weight of baby is fully supported. Magnesium absorption from Epsom salt helps with swelling, cramps, and stress. However, pregnant women should always consult healthcare provider before floating, especially if high-risk pregnancy. Most pregnant women (after first trimester with doctor approval) can safely float and often become our most enthusiastic clients. Position of floating on back in water is safe unlike lying flat on back on firm surface. Free consultation allows discussing pregnancy-specific considerations before booking.
