The tanks & rooms here
The classic enclosed capsule with a hinged lid. Deepest sensory deprivation; you lie down and pull the lid to.
A walk-in enclosure with full standing height — for taller floaters and anyone who wants privacy without a low lid.
The room itself is the vessel: no hatch, walk straight in. Great for claustrophobia and easier access.

What floaters say
“The space itself is spotless, serene, and deeply calming—exactly the kind of environment I didn’t even realize I needed.”
“I tried this float spa for the first time two weeks ago, and I honestly haven’t stopped thinking about it since.”
“100% total relaxation at its purest form…Even for someone like me that has trouble sitting still and loads of anxious energy.”
“I have chronic upper back and neck pain and I did notice some tension in those areas while floating, but from what I've read that seems to be pretty normal for a first float.”
“As a newly postpartum (and very sleep-deprived) mom, I went in just hoping for a little peace and quiet—but I left with so much more.”
“The owner is super super nice and was very helpful in making sure our first experience was a great one!”
From the reviews
I purchased a set of 3 floats during the Christmas in July sale. The price was great so I could not resist! I have gone twice and will be going back for my third float in a couple weeks. My first float was in the pod and my second was in a float room. Overall, the experience was amazing and relaxing.
My husband and I went here this past week for our first time trying float therapy and we are so glad for it! The owner is super super nice and was very helpful in making sure our first experience was a great one! We both used the float rooms, though I think it would be cool to try the pod next time.
My daughter and I did our first float session, It was amazing! We can’t wait to feel the benefits the days after. The environment feels very welcoming and relaxed. The place is super clean. I would recommend bringing a bottle of water for after as we felt very thirsty.
I received a float session as a gift and I had no idea how much I needed it! I’m a Piano Tuner and really can get sore muscles. First, it’s a beautiful place and you feel so pampered by the lovely staff. Second , it feels so good to let your muscles and your mind relax as you float. I hope this feeling lasts ☺️
Your first float at Ascend Float Spa
Never floated before? Almost no one has their first time, and a good center expects it. Here's what to know. What it is: you float effortlessly in about ten inches of skin-temperature water saturated with around 1,000 lbs of Epsom salt — so dense you cannot sink. In the dark and quiet, with no light, sound, or gravity to react to, your nervous system downshifts. Before you come: don't shave or wax for a day beforehand (salt stings fresh cuts — they'll have barrier ointment if you nick yourself), skip caffeine, eat a light meal an hour or two before, and remove contacts. If you colored your hair recently, wait a few days. In the tank: shower first, put earplugs in before you get wet, and keep a fresh-water spray bottle within reach for salt in the eyes. You can leave the light or music on until you settle, then turn them off from inside. Hold your arms out for the first 20–30 seconds to stop bobbing, then let go. It takes a few tries — the first 20 minutes are usually your mind winding down. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to shower and get oriented.
