The tanks & rooms here

The vessel type is the single biggest thing to get right — especially if enclosed spaces make you uneasy. Here's what Rinnova Spa & Wellness Center runs, drawn from their own site and reviews.

🥚Float Pods

The classic enclosed capsule with a hinged lid. Deepest sensory deprivation; you lie down and pull the lid to.

From the reviews

My facial & Massage was awesome but I was not a fan of the float pod. It was a substitution because for some reason the mani/pedis were not available. The room was chili and so was the water. I had to get out early. Also. If a client is having other services done, the pod should be done 1st.

★★★★★ — Crystal, Nov 2025

Such a great experience! From the moment I walked in, everyone was friendly, polite and wanted to make sure my day went perfect. The Tuscany package was gifted to me by my daughter for a retirement present. The entire day and lunch was a calming experience.

★★★★★ — Cathy, Mar 2025

I had such an amazing experience at Rinnova Spa! I saw Nadine for laser treatment and Johnna for a headspa, and both were absolutely incredible. Nadine was knowledgeable, thorough, and made me feel completely comfortable throughout the treatment. Johnna’s headspa was beyond relaxing and just what I needed!

★★★★★ — Christine, Feb 2026

I had such an incredible experience with Nadine Ayala and genuinely cannot say enough wonderful things about her. From the moment I met her, I felt completely comfortable and cared for. Nadine has such a calming, uplifting energy and a level of kindness and authenticity that is truly rare to find.

Your first float at Rinnova Spa & Wellness Center

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.
