Why did this take so long to experience? Received a float gift certificate from my favorite son, who had just experienced floating as well. Couldn't wait to try it out. As soon as I walked into Oly Float, I was welcomed by Jess. She sat and explained what the float would be like (music/no music, lights/no lights, recommended arm and head position during float, etc.). She walked me to the wood room and showed me how to work lighting, doors and head and neck floaties. Before I stepped into the float room, I wasn't quite sure if I wanted the blue lighting on or off, but as soon as I got floating, I found the 'off' switch for the lighting (as instructed by Jess earlier) and went for the total darkness. Absolutely incredible calm of floating in salt water. I even tried to submerge my legs once in awhile, but because of the salt content, there was resistance. I opted for 20 minutes of calming music, then 60 minutes of silence. Jess told me the music would come on when my hour was up. I found myself amazed at how still my body was while floating and would periodically slightly move my arms and legs just to feel the difference between (almost) complete stillness and movement. This experience was calming, peaceful and highly recommended! Salt water heals everything~Mahalo! read more

Pregnant sisters- FLOAT for your and your baby's health! I floated throughout my pregnancy and it was perhaps the most relaxing therapy I tried. How wonderful it felt to be weightless for what felt like an eternity in Oly Float's quiet rooms. I also endured restless legs and leg cramps during precious sleep time throughout my pregnancy and floating seriously mitigated this! Every time I floated, I had the most restful sleep that evening. The magnesium is so good for pregnant mamas and you'll feel the effects immediately. The most enjoyable part of my experience at Oly Float was simply having the quiet and meditative time to connect deeply with my baby. Right when I would begin to float, my baby would feel the serenity and communicate with his nudges and rolls. I felt so close to him because I, myself, felt like I was in the womb- being nourished, calmed and comforted. Floating helped me through a wonderful pregnancy; helped set my mindset up for a meditative labor; and helped us bring a peaceful, sweet baby into the world. Deep gratitude to Oly Float for providing a sacred space for such a sacred experience. Oly Float is the best...quiet and clean environment, friendly and lovely staff, and a beautiful space to set you up for a meditative and relaxing journey. read more

What an experience. Traditional therapy just wasn't cutting it for me right now with a new crap diagnosis of stage four endometriosis and all of my past of abuse to deal with as well. I decided flotation therapy was the next step, something I have been thinking about for years but too anxious to try. You are completely deprived of all senses and are left with only your mind, no understanding of space OR time or any feeling of your body. You are in 11 inches of water with 1,000 pounds of salt. You physically cannot sink. Simply stuck with your thoughts and it's up you and only you to control them to better your experience. I wish I would've tried this sooner. Oly Float is absolutely magical and I WILL be back. I was really anxious at first and the first time float orientation was very personable. Tyler was amazing. He got to know me and my goals and didn't feel judged at all for being nervous or nervous talking. I know that I am stuck in my head a lot, and my mind can become loud. He gave tips on how to manage that. I didn't have many intrusive thoughts and used his tips and honestly, didn't think I'd get even 1/4 of the peace that I actually got. I owe it to him! He is a special soul! read more

I've been receiving counseling with Dan at Intuitive Being for over a year. In that time, Dan has helped me manage some major life hurdles in a way that no one else on my support team has. I think Dan really sees people deeply, more than a typical provider. He's always paid careful attention and listened closely to me in our sessions, and I appreciate that. I can see that Dan is both present with me and "tuned in" during our work. I come away from my sessions feeling more connected with my truest self, on multiple levels- mind, body and soul. Through discussion, Dan helps me identify my cognitive distortions as well as unrecognized thoughts and behavior patterns. Through energy work, sound, and light healing Dan supports the resurgence of my baseline resilience by helping me reset and re-settle my nervous system. Through the offering of intuitive guidance, Dan helps me make greater sense of my ancestral history, in turn helping me make better sense of my own life and choices today. Thanks to Dan for his offerings and for working with such great respect and care. read more

What an lovely experience! I visited Oly Float for a Float & Massage package, and my first float did not disappoint. Upon entering, I was immediately struck by the serene and inviting atmosphere. The Galaxy room, where I floated, was immaculate and freshly renovated, exuding a luxurious feel. All the essentials were thoughtfully provided--robe, towels, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and even ear plugs and cotton swabs. It's the little details that made my time as relaxing as possible. Complimentary teas and water were available, along with a lovely private lounging area to enjoy between services or to unwind in after your session. My massage therapist, Caroline, was fantastic. She created a calming environment and seemed to know exactly what my body needed. After discussing my physical activities and areas of pain, she intuitively tailored the massage to address my concerns. I haven't experienced such a skilled massage in years; it was everything I had hoped for. Caroline was amazing, and I will definitely request her again. read more

I was having severe lower back pain and spasms all week. I had been using ice, heat, anti inflammatories and cbd and trying to rest, but it was taking much longer than it usually does for my back to get back to normal. I made an appointment at olyfloat for a 30-minute infrared sauna session and a craniosacral therapy session. Everyone at the front desk was really kind and the waiting area is calming and welcoming. The individual sauna was great, very clean and with a nice shower to use before and after. I had never tried craniosacral but had read that it can be helpful with back pain. I was a little skeptical and had no idea what to expect, but decided to try, and it was amazing. Simone was my therapist and she explained how it worked, what she was doing and overall she just had really warm and healing energy. The treatment was very gentle and relaxing, but really powerful. I left feeling so much better, able to walk more easily and in far less pain--I'm honestly kind of amazed. I will definitely be returning. read more

Oly Float has been a place of retreat for me and several of my friends for years now. It's always like a breath of fresh air when you first get there, the sounds are lovely the lighting's relaxing, I mean even the plants are healthy. If you're going for a float you have a few options to choose from in terms of rooms but they're both wonderful and incredibly rejuvenating. I've had a chance to get a massage from their new therapist and I can say is someone who's had many massages she's doing great work for my muscle pain in my neck. After only two sessions I saw results that I haven't seen in quite a while with other therapists. The energy work I've done with Dan has been fantastic and really eye-opening. Everyone I've brought or suggested to see him Has had a wonderful experience and more than once I've found out they too started referring their friends and family to enjoy the fruits of this beautiful space Dan and the Oly Float team have created over the years. read more

I have been 3 times now: ) 1st time: got salt water in my eye's, my neck was killing me and I was not comfortable?, but Pain was gone for about 3 days(Arthritis, migraines and back) I felt great also? 2nd time: Didn't get salt water in my eye's this time? Heading into the last 30 minutes of the soak, I started to see white smoke in my vision and it was with eye's open or closed? made me feel really weird, but good?Body felt as if Pixie dust was sprinkled on my body( I just felt excellent for several days) 3rd Time!! Settled in and remained really still and tried meditating, sum what? Around the last 20 minutes I started to see in black space with eye's open or shut? I saw a white smokey fire/Mist? for several minutes I watched it making perfect turns in a figure eight motion? It was magical and made me smile from ear to ear: D The same pixie dust feeling last's a couple days and less pain for up to 7 days: ) very cool way of chilling out: ) read more

Oly Float is amazing. Just walking into the space... its full of relaxing vibes, salt lamps, fire place... The employees were super friendly and knowledgeable, they gave me the full run down on float protocol (it was my first time floating). The float tanks are super beautiful, they have two different rooms. One room is very woodsy and earthy, lots of cedar. The other room had the most amazing shower I have ever used and the coolest multicolored ambient lighting and twinkly stars. The whole space was incredibly clean as, the tanks and showers were super hygienic. They offered a little tea afterwards and a quite lounge to sit and intigrate and journal. The whole experience, from walking thru the door to walking out the door, was so amazing. I went home feeling super relaxed, I slept great that night, and am so ready to go in and float again! 10/10 - would recommend. If you had any hesitation, don't! This place was great. read more

When I got in the water to float yesterday I was surprised by the wave of gratitude that washed over me. Something about the familiar feeling of floating, after some time since my last one, reminded me of something that's hard to put into words. I guess it was understanding of the uniqueness of the opportunity to have floating be a part of my life. I was feeling gratitude in an almost physical way throughout my body. All the work and love of the people who made this place what it is-- I was feeling that. And then, as my meditation deepened, I watched as my "sombody-ness" seemed to dissolve and re-emerge repeatedly. How nice it is to know that that heavy burden of being "somebody" can be let go of, even if only for a short time. How rare it is that a person gets a chance to fully relax and let go in our fast paced world. If you're considering trying floating for the first time, I can't recommend it enough. read more

What an absolutely lovely place! My husband got me a package for Christmas, I was a bit surprised he chose to get one in Olympia rather then in Tacoma where we live. He said that he just felt Oly Float would be a better fit for my personality, and that nothing in Tacoma made him feel that way. Boy, was he right! I was a little nervous at first about such a long time in the soak, but when the hour and a half was over I would have happily gone another hour and a half! I then had a massage by Krella, can I just tell you not only are her hands, elbows, arms magic, so is she. She is absolutely one of the most delightful humans I have ever met. Seriously, she not only leaves you physically relaxed but her kindness and her personal warmth leaves your heart full as well. I loved it so much I asked my husband to get me the same package for my birthday so I can go back! Krella is a rock star! read more

I injured my back, neck and shoulder last week and desperately needed some pain relief. I got online and searched for massage therapy in Olympia and Oly Float came up. This is a 4 minute drive from my home and Jaclyn had an appointment available the following morning, which I quickly scheduled and reserved. I then scheduled three more in case it was what I needed, and it was the perfect healing, deep tissue massage I was looking for. Jaclyn is very VERY good. I was able to actually sleep that night and have improved steadily. I had another massage this morning to attack some residual tightness in my neck and shoulders. Amazing what she was able to do. I could feel the toxins being released from my muscle tissue. I will be returning again for more of this healing touch. Highly recommend Jaclyn. read more

Five months ago today I was looking forward to some amazing quiet time, but life took a detour. Today, I was able to get back to some incredible self care. So ironic, my adventure out into the world, was an adventure straight to my favorite place...an isolation tank! Today I had the opportunity to float and enjoy an infrared sauna session. My friends at OlyFloat opened back up yesterday, and I am so grateful. I've missed my times there and I'm happy to start regular floats again. Thank you Dan and crew. The visit was spectacular and the new rules around COVID safety were very well handled and felt very kind, caring and most of all, very safe. See you again soon. Thank you. PS: The upgrades are great and the place feel so alive! read more

I found Oly Float on Groupons and thought I try out something new and unexpected. I was looking for something to stimulate creativeness and inspiration something that I have so little space in my otherwise hectic life. And what an unexpected and very cool experience it was! If you are tired of gravity, noise, and the trivia of daily routines and look for an escape, this is the place to be. The sensation to float in zero gravity alone is already worth it. But the biggest is to have time to listen and reconnect with your own body. After drifting in complete darkness in what appears zero gravity I couldn't help but smile. Facility is very nicely kept. Clean friendly, helpful. I can recommend them. read more

This is where I go to have "surgery prevention therapy". Due to auto wrecks and genetics I have a neurological ondition called Chiari Malformation or ACM1. Parts of my brain dropped down into my spinal column area (Look it up, its true). Mine was partially wrapped around my brain stem. A mostly successful surgery in 2010 at Harborview corrected all but 25% of the blockage. Here is where Simone at Oly Float comes to my aid!! She performs CST, cranio-sacral therapy, which assists the spinal fluid to flow more freely, as it should. This lessens or relieves totally my various pains caused by this vicious disease. I am sooo thankful that I found Simone Jaggers, CST!! Thank you Oly Float!! read more

Amazing Owners and Staff! They genuinely care about your well being and the community. I suffered a concussion on 1/2/19 Snowboarding. After getting checked out by the doctor i was told there was nothing i could do besides "take it easy." Meanwhile ive been dealing with symptoms of headache, naseau, dizziness that come and go. I was reccommended Oly float by a friend and noticed a night and day difference after my first float! It was as if my brain was able to breathe a big sigh of relief! My only regret is not coming in sooner! If you or someone you know is dealing with a Traumatic Brain Injury or Concussion, even if its years later, Come into Oly Float! Your Brain will thank u! read more

What an amazing experience. Today was my first float and I don't know what to say. When I walked in the door I started feeling my stress walk away. I had some tea and waited for my float room. When I stepped into the water it was silky. I enjoyed the music and was able to relax. I cannot think of a time where I had been as calm being in a dark room alone. When my time was complete I hopped in the most safisticated shower I have ever seen and enjoyed the steam and waterfall shower head. I was so relaxed and my worries had washed away. I will be making more appointments for I find this to be one of the best forms of therapy I have experienced. Thank you so much. read more

I've floated a few times here and it exceeded my expectations. I thought it would be a flotation tank but it is a whole flotation room! So for those of you putting it off because you are afraid of feeling claustrophobic - not to worry! The float tub is is approximately 8'x5' and you can stand up in it, though the water is only about 10 inches deep. There are optional lights within the float room and optional music. Each time I have gone I descended into a very deep state of relaxation that I have not achieved through yoga, meditation, acupuncture or massage. This is something different. It is an almost primal relaxation. Highly recommended! read more

Oly Float really helped my son's anxiety issues. He is 18 and was really going through some tough stuff. He stopped eating, had nausea, heart palpatations, among other symptoms. His GP wanted to put him on anti-anxiety/anti-depression meds. I really didn't want to start him on that, being so young. We decided to try a holistic approach and a friend recommended Oly Float. It really helped! In fact, if it were not for us living an hour away and scheduling issues, he would still be going. He will go back from time to time as need. I cannot thank the knowedgable people at Oly Float for helping us out at such a crucial time in my son't life! read more
