What is Float Therapy?
Float therapy is the closest thing to hitting reset on your nervous system. You step into a temperature-controlled pod filled with water so dense in Epsom salt that you effortlessly float on the surface. Free from distractions, gravity, and external noise, your body and mind enter a deeply restorative state.
The Science of Sensory Deprivation
The magic of floating isn’t just in the experience—it’s in what happens to your brain. In a float pod, external stimuli are minimized, allowing your nervous system to shift from high-alert mode (sympathetic nervous system) to deep relaxation (parasympathetic nervous system).
Studies have shown that sensory deprivation leads to:
Increased theta brainwave activity, linked to deep meditation and creativity
A natural decrease in cortisol, the stress hormone
Enhanced dopamine and serotonin production, elevating mood and mental clarity
This isn’t just relaxation—it’s a neurological reset.
How Floating Reduces Stress
Modern stressors keep your body in a constant state of fight-or-flight. Whether it’s work, social pressure, or just daily overstimulation, your nervous system rarely gets a chance to fully recover. Floating changes that.
By eliminating sensory overload, your brain enters a deeply restful state similar to meditation or the early stages of sleep—except without the effort. Studies suggest that just one hour of floating can reduce stress and anxiety levels significantly, making it a powerful tool for mental resilience.

The Mind-Body Reset Effect
Beyond stress relief, float therapy supports physical recovery. With no gravity weighing you down, your muscles, joints, and spine can fully relax. This helps:
Reduce muscle tension and chronic pain
Enhance circulation, accelerating recovery from workouts or injuries
Improve sleep quality by calming the nervous system
Many athletes, entrepreneurs, and high-performers use float therapy to counteract burnout, speed up recovery, and gain mental clarity.
Why Epsom Salt Matters
The secret ingredient? Magnesium sulfate, also known as Epsom salt.
Magnesium is essential for muscle recovery, stress regulation, and sleep, yet most people are deficient. Floating in high-density Epsom salt water allows the body to absorb magnesium through the skin, replenishing levels naturally.
This supports:
Muscle relaxation and recovery
Lowered stress levels by regulating cortisol
Improved sleep cycles for deeper rest
