From the reviews
Love this place! Very clean, very relaxing! She is so kind & helpful & explains everything for you, so don't be shy about giving this a try if you're new to floating. And if you're an experienced floater, you know it'll be great! I love to float whenever I get the chance & this place is top-notch!
I truly enjoyed my floating session. My first time, I felt no anxiety and fell asleep. I was so relaxed to the point that I fell asleep. Overall, the facility is incredibly beautiful and has such a welcoming atmosphere. They also have great customer service.
First off, I'm not into "wellness" things. My wife gifted me an hour float to help reduce some stress and I was skeptical. The place was super clean, the owner was very professional, all instructions were clear and the float was great.
First floating experience was really nice. The atmosphere was beautiful, calming, reasonably priced, and very clean. The owner was so kind and accommodating. Highly recommend. Looking forward to the next floating session!
Your first float at FLOAT49
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.
