This experience was amazing! Whether a regular or beginner with sensory deprivation, you’ll be guided by their team every step of the way.

My husband and I won a gift certificate from my work's Christmas party. Everything was clean and looks like it was recently updated. The float was great- definitely a unique experience, and those massage chairs are divine, even getting your hands, full arms, and feet.
Loved our hour long float so much I fell asleep. I liked that they have calming music (you pick) playing while you float. You can turn that off though if you decide you don't want it. The place was very clean and staff was very informative and welcoming.
First time floating. Very relaxing and informative. Good for the body. Massage chair and scented oxgyen was interesting and i feel beneficial.
Your first float at Rivers Relaxation
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.
