From the reviews

Came here for the Float Therapy. I’m 6’4” and was able to fit just fine, I’d have to make small adjustments to not touch the walls. Mindless floating was a great experience. The room was very clean with all the essentials you need; earplugs, shower, towels, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and some more.

So after a couple weeks of stress in my work and personal life I decided to try a float session for my birthday to decompress. I can't say enough good things! The staff was over the top helpful and accommodating. The facility and room were immaculate. I did just a 30 min session for my first time.

First time here and it was wonderful! I was gifted one of each session from my partner for my birthday, and can I just say - best birthday present ever! I loved everything that was offered and left feeling pain free and fully relaxed! The float was my favorite, such a different experience and well worth it.

Your first float at Zen Dens

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.
