From the reviews
I had a wonderful experience I can't remember the name of the young lady I spoke to but it was because of her that I came in she went into detail about the float as far as many of the benefits which included the lymphatic detox spinal alignment resting of the nervous system etc I've been waiting to do this for over 2…
The entire team was so so welcoming & kind. The facility is so clean and their system was so organized. It was my first time & I went in for cryo, contrast, float, and light therapy, as well as IV.
Very relaxing. Staff were pleasant. Only suggestion would be to provide plastic bags for wet swimwear and water when you leave the float bath. I almost passed out when I walked out. Other than that it was perfect
I’ve never been to a wellness spa, and this just set the bar very high. Upon walking in, everyone was cheerful and welcoming which put me at ease because I really didn’t know what to expect. I was given a walkthrough of how the Contrast 60 worked and it was one of the best experiences I’ve had.
Your first float at Pause South Bay
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.
