I went in for a Float appointment and I was very pleasantly surprised. I originally purchased out of pure curiosity - I thought I would try it once just to see what it was like and probably never do it again. After experiencing it - I know I will be doing it again. The float is weird at first, but after you get settled the stress and tension just seem to float away. My neck had a pain in it for awhile, and it is relieved after the float. I didn't expect that. I thought it was just going to be an interesting experience, I had no idea the tension relieving benefits that I would receive. I can't wait to do it again! I had the appointment in the morning, and am writing this review late in the evening - and I have been relaxed and tension free all day. Stress has eased. The benefits are amazing. The pool is large and there is a shower in the room. I would advise taking a bag with all the products you need to shower and get ready. I took a large bag. I wish I would have taken a bag that had different compartments because all my stuff got jumbled between what I needed for shower and getting ready. You will shower and dress in the float room - but them move to another room to finish your blow drying - so it will be easier to keep your items separate for easier and faster access. Take a good shampoo with you - my hair felt very salty (no surprise) when I was finished. So I wanted to give a good wash and condition after. If you have a scrape - use the ointment provided to cover it. The bath does sting if you have a cut. I had one on my knee that I didn't even know I had until I got in the bath. read more

I can't imagine a better gift, not only following my car wreck, but also to kick off what many of us consider to be the most stressful month of the year. For the next three weeks, I will be exploring each modality at Electric Elephant Spa, starting today with flotation therapy! My initial feelings about sensory deprivation and being alone with my own thoughts (!) for an hour in a strange environment were anxiety, apprehension, excitement, and pure curiosity. I did a fair amount of Googling and reading others' comments on Facebook before my appointment, which probably skewed my expectations. Don't be like me. Be like Nike and JUST DO IT! Post-float my perspective is quite different. This is clearly not the scary pod/coffin that was giving me the most grief. This is a 10'x5' pool that couldn't be less claustrophobic if it tried. I'm not sure I had a mental picture or expectation of how my body would be positioned while I floated, but I ended up being most comfortable in the 'baby sleep' position, arms above my head. It was the only thing that felt natural. I have a busy mind and am typically hyperaware of my surroundings. That didn't change. What did change was my awareness of space and time, which were non-existent in a weightless, dark place. Hard to explain, but while I knew I was there an hour, it also felt more like 20-30 minutes. After floating what I would guess was half (?) the time, my right wrist started throbbing out of nowhere. Over the past month +/- I've started having some carpal tunnel symptoms in that wrist, and the magnesium in the epsom salt pinpointed that and started trying to heal it. Wild! (This is where prior research DID come in handy.) Definitely do not shave, wax, pick a scab, or do anything else to unnecessarily expose raw skin or fresh pores prior to a float - you will be sorry if you do. I only had a couple little paper cuts and scabs that bothered me, but I cannot imagine the unbearable discomfort that would come along with having an open wound or freshly shaved legs. Also, you will be hot and freshly lotioned trying to dress in a warm room when this experience is over. Wear clothes that won't fight you. If you're curious about flotation, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, and/or oxygen/light bar therapy, their website is a great quick read (and they'll be offering massage and an infrared sauna soon). The owner, Tanya Rae, is warm, welcoming, and informative. She will educate you and put your mind at ease. read more

Had a relaxation appointment, I was educated on all modalities. Tonya was was very helpful and genuine. I can not wait for my first float!!

I went to electric elephant spa yesterday for a float and sauna session and really enjoyed it! The float tank is huge! I was expecting a pod, and was feeling iffy about it, but it's a big open tub big enough for two people. The shower is in the same room as the tub and they offer ointment to cover any scrapes, ear plugs, little floats for your neck, and a spray bottle in the case you get any salt water in your eyes. Your face floats well above the water so my eyes were totally fine. There's also a speaker where you can play music or have a guided meditation. I did it in silence, but I think I'll have some ambient noise next time. There was also a galaxy light option, but I liked the pitch black. It was very very relaxing. I'm glad I did the sauna afterwards because the world was bright and heavy when I got out of the float, so that was a better transition back into reality. Tanya is a little ray of sunshine and makes you feel very welcome. I'll be coming back for sure! read more
