This place is amazing! As soon as you walk in the door, the energy is completely relaxing and rejuvenating. This first time I saw Rebecca I seriously felt like a jellyfish floating through the ocean afterwards. She is an amazing massage therapist with extremely calming energy.

Friendly Staff I did a Float was instructed on everything I need to know about float and they have tea water and snakes for after also got a massage from Keanna I went in with a lot of neck and back pain when I left felt a lot better

★★★★★ — Richard, Aug 2019

Best massage ever. Very relaxing, staff is great. They have a lot of wellness outside of massage too. Float tanks are kept up very well and great for stress relief or great if you work out a lot.

Your first float at Mettā Therapeutic Massage & Wellness

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.

Floating isn't for everyone: skip it with epilepsy, kidney disease, uncontrolled heart conditions, open wounds, a contagious condition, or in the first trimester of pregnancy without your doctor's OK. If in doubt, ask the center and check with a physician — this is general information, not medical advice.
