This was my first time trying float therapy…read more It says they have parking available in the parking garage, which may be true but there was a tiny sign that says the parking garage is closed on Sundays and a huge sign above it that says "no public parking." We only realized that afterwards, when the car in front of us stopped us to ask if we had a fob because the parking is for private residents. Luckily there was street parking available. When we walked in, there were two people chatting at the front desk. We weren't greeted until we were at the desk, which I didn't mind but it just felt a bit awkward. It almost felt like I was interrupting. Aside from that I really enjoyed my experience. We were given a tour and learned more about what float therapy is. We even got to see what a different room looks like. We did the "float together" session, which is a giant bathtub for two people. It has a shower, so you rinse before you get in and can shower after you get out. Toilets are outside the room, so they provide a bathrobe in case you need to step out during your session. The room itself was very warm, I believe it was 89°! Which was a good temperature once we were out of our warm clothing (lol). Prior to getting in they do have a few items you can use: ear plugs, some kind of ointment (for any cuts), a head rest you can use while in the water, towels, slippers (you get these at the entrance), and bathrobes. The lights and music are on for the first 10-ish minutes and then they turn off. You are then left with a tiny bathtub light that you can keep on or turn off. The temperature of the water was nice and warm for the parts of my body that were in the water. After you shower/change, they do have a room where you can go in and finish getting ready. They have combs, hair dryers, another towel, and mirrors for you to use. They have 3 sections labeled, so you can use the one labeled with your session type (our was room 3: float together). I had such a lovely time and will definitely come back!

The people who work here are so amazing and helpful, they explain the floating process so well and provide everything needed for a nice float! Highly recommend this business

I have stage IV colon cancer. Because of this I do chemo treatments every other week and this will be on going (at a year and a half so far). I have done two floats so far and I was not disappointed! The salt soak relieved my aching muscles, my recovery time was cut in half, and the chance to meditate while floating in the pod cleared my mind of worries and helps to give me the positive outlook I need to fight my disease. Highly recommended! Thank you Float Shop for aiding my recovery from chemo treatments. I look forward to my next soak.

The check in was easy, the guidance covered the bases and things were very private. I was in tank #1 which had room to stand and a lovely shower area. I love that I didn't need to bring anything. They have it all ready for you. I was able to get the silicone ear plugs sealed well enough to keep water out of my ears, but I also used the bottle of ear rinse drops afterwards to make sure no salt dried in my ears canals and then rinsed them out in the shower. My tank ended up feeling a little too cool after being in there for an hour. I noticed it was at 95.3 degrees when I got out. I would asked for it to be a little warmer next time. Don't float if you have a healing wound, open rash, new piercing or tattoo, etc. Salt HURTS! I irritated my inny belly button while showering before getting in the tank and I was in pain as soon as I got in the tank (luckily the irritated skin healed up in a few minutes and stopped hurting, but it really sucked for five minutes). Also, don't rub your eyes while in the tank as the salt will hurt. Use the hand towel and put it on the hook inside the tank. Wipe your face with that if needed during the float Consider removing any medical patches (nicotine, hormonal, etc.) as the adhesive could come off or you could dose the water and lose medicine you need.

The…read morestaff here are friendly and supportive, the entire space is dedicated to soothing visitors and minimizing stimuli, there is much emphasis on cleanliness, and there are a wide variety of tanks to choose from. If you are looking for a transformative experience, definite give floatation therapy a chance. I was a little anxious at first and found it difficult to just let go, but letting go is what gives you the best return on investment. Float On is one of the places where I am best able to quiet those inner voices, enter into a deep and meditative state, and walk away feeling relaxed and renewed. It's my happy place. All of my loved ones have been warned that if anyone ever asks, "Hey, what do you think Nico would like for his birthday," the answer is always a gift certificate at Float On! I'm not sure if I can give any better recommendation for Float On than this!

Overall, I really enjoy the Everett House. It's a lovely space to decompress, get a good soak in,…read moreand just relax. There are two things I experience there fairly regularly that spoil the experience a bit and keep me from giving a 5-star rating. First, there have been way too many times where I've been there and there were too many people in for me to be able to get into the soaking pool. The management team really needs to do a better job of making sure there aren't too many people scheduled. If it were just a one-time occurrence that would be one thing. But it happens WAY too often. Second, this is supposed to be a space for quiet and relaxation; people are asked not to be too loud. And yet, again, fairly regularly it happens that people do get really loud (even during supposed quiet times) to the point where I have to get loud myself in order to be heard by anyone I happen to be there with. It would be nice if someone from the staff would come by regularly to the soaking area and remind people to keep it down.

Here's how it works: -You'll go in, and they'll send you to the float room. You'll shower, cover any scrapes with some vaseline and then go into the chamber (naked!) for 60 minutes. -You can use earplugs or a little floaty if you need some help keeping your head up. -Then you'll relax and drift away on a cloud of saline. The girls who run the place are very sweet and the costs are about what you'd see elsewhere. Highly recommend!

Staff are always friendly. The business is clean and peaceful. While this is an unusual therapy it's really quite helpful for chronic pain. They suggest three sessions as a way to see if it is goi g to be beneficial and I will say my third float was the best. 90 minutes in the water in the dark with only your thoughts was a frightening prospect and I admit the first float I got antsy at about 75 minutes. So I turned on the light and reset, finishing the 90. My third float I was surprised that it was over, no antsy feelings at all. They now have sauna and cold plunge services as well so I will be trying those at some point.
