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 The 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.

🛁Float Rooms

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

From the reviews

Encouraged by positive feedback from friends, I decided to experience a float tank. Elizabeth provided a thorough orientation, sharing the benefits she receives from regular floating. As a first-timer, I appreciated the detailed instructions. I also see why many people say a second float can be even better.

This was the most welcoming and private experience I’ve ever had. The people are amazing and are super informative! Was my first float session and it was incredible! Will definitely be recommending to my friends and family! Thank you so much! P.s.

I'm so glad I found "The Wellness Center." So far, I have floated 3 times and it's been so relaxing and a wonderful reset. Kara helped me get set up and understand all there is to know ahead of time so my experience could be the best it could be.

★★★★★ — Laura, May 2023

My most recent float tank experience was profound and incredibly nourishing. I came out feeling more at home in my body, mind, and spirit. I highly recommend experiencing the float tank for yourself! Oh, and the massage therapist’s are the best out there!

Your first float at The 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.
