What floaters say
“The staff is very accommodating and helpful, the facilities are spotless, and the float experience is far above any other experience I've had.”
“My meat vessel is so very happy after that experience and, that night, I feel asleep on my back for the first time in, maybe, since I was a baby.”
“The facility itself is incredibly calming, relaxing, and always spotless — you immediately feel at ease the moment you walk in.”
“I always leave feeling deeply nourished by the meditation, stillness, and peace that come from floating.”
“I had the opportunity to mention this to the owner, Rebecca Schulman, and when I exclaimed "how!”
“The float cabin we were in had the option to turn off the pool light, ambient light, and meditation music for a full sensory deprivation experience.”
From the reviews
This was my first time trying out a Salt Float, and it was incredible. From the start, the staff was very informative and super kind! My partner and I chose to do a Couples float. We had a private room with a shower and the float cabin.
If you are spiritual, mystical, magical, and/or witchy, Stardust Float Spa is the retreat your body and soul have been begging for! ✨️✨️✨️ My very first magical experience started with a 60 min massage with the very gifted and energetically balanced Nicole Barretto.
I now have a monthly program for a massage and float and it is my favorite day of the month. Michelle is an excellent masseuse. The spa is relaxing and the staff is very professional and friendly. I highly recommend them. To add on to my initial review, I just upgraded my float membership to include a 1.5 hour massage.
My new favorite place after one visit. I was coming for a float service to treat my back and to calm my nervous system. I was excited to learn, in addition to floating, there's a far infrared sauna, massage, estheticians, resting rooms with a water and tea station and books. It was so peaceful.
Your first float at Stardust Float Spa
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.
