Experience Deep Relaxation with Float Therapy in Connecticut

Float therapy offers a profound state of relaxation through sensory deprivation, allowing your body to relax both mentally and physically. In the absence of sensory input, your brain takes a break from constant analysis, leading to a creative and relaxed state. This process lowers cortisol levels (the chemical component of stress) and elevates dopamine and endorphins—neurotransmitters associated with well-being—resulting in a natural mood boost that can last well beyond your session.

How It Works

The anti-gravity chamber in float therapy relieves your muscles, joints, and bones from pressure, providing the ultimate opportunity for rest. Buoyancy, created by a high concentration of Epsom salt, allows your body to float effortlessly, relieving your body of the usual tasks of supporting weight and regulating temperature. This leads to a relaxation experience unlike any other, allowing your muscles and joints to rejuvenate and heal. Even those who struggle to float in regular water can experience full buoyancy here.

What is Float Therapy?
Arrow icon

Floatation therapy, also known as sensory deprivation or R.E.S.T. (Restricted Environmental Stimulation Therapy), involves lying in a room filled with 11 inches of water containing 1,000 lbs. of pharmaceutical-grade Epsom salts. This high buoyancy creates a zero-gravity environment, promoting deep relaxation. The water temperature matches skin temperature (93.5°F), enhancing the feeling of weightlessness. The float room is sound- and light-proof, providing the ultimate unplugged experience.

Who should not float?

The Float Experience: Upon entering the float room, you'll be guided through the process with the following steps:

  1. Ear Plugs: Clients must insert ear plugs (provided) before entering the float water.
  2. Preparation: Disrobe (swimsuits are optional but not recommended as they can distract from the experience). Shower thoroughly with the provided soap, shampoo, and conditioners.
  3. Float Room: Enter the float area and let go! We recommend turning off the underwater lights, but they are available for your control.
  4. Music and Lights: Music will play when you enter, fading out after 8 minutes, while lights turn off. The music and lights softly resume 5 minutes before the float ends.
  5. Exit: Once finished, exit the float room, shower thoroughly, and dress at your leisure.
