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 Salt + Light WellSpa runs, drawn from their own site and reviews.

🚪Float Cabins

A walk-in enclosure with full standing height — for taller floaters and anyone who wants privacy without a low lid.

🛁Float Rooms

The room itself is the vessel: no hatch, walk straight in. Great for claustrophobia and easier access.

From the reviews

I absolutely love this unique spa! The atmosphere is calm & inviting, and the facility is pristinely clean. My husband & I tried the Float Suite tonight, and it was amazing! It was one of the most relaxing experiences I've ever had. Even with a lot of stress at work lately, I was able to completey clear my mind.

Salt + Light WellSpa is an amazing addition to our community! Amanda takes time to explain each service, and so far I have tried the float suite, red light therapy, and recovery lounge. The spa is so clean and relaxing. I am definitely making this a regular part of my self care routine!

★★★★★ — Susie, Oct 2024

Incredible experience- booked a couples float, sauna and compression. We were walked through every step and the prep/after items are very thoughtful. Head pillows for floating are provided, as well as ear plugs. It was our first float experience and we would go back in a heartbeat!

★★★★★ — Amy, Jun 2025

Been considering trying out any services?? Do it!! You won’t regret it! It is clear that Amanda cares about your experience and wants you to get the most out of it. 90 minutes in the float tank is my favorite thing! I always leave feeling so deeply relaxed and centered.

Your first float at Salt + Light WellSpa

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.
