People with claustrophobia consistently report no problems with floating. There aren’t any latches, and you can leave the door open or get out anytime. That said, the time usually goes by faster than you would expect.

Between each float, the water is filtered multiple times through a 5 micron filter and treated with UV light, hydrogen peroxide and ozone.

Absolutely! Pregnant women love to float! Many pregnant women find floating helps relieve the joint pain and inflammation associated with carrying additional baby weight. Floating has been shown to reduce cortisol levels and boost endorphins which may help counteract the hormonal changes associated with pregnancy which can result in insomnia, anxiety, and depression. Anecdotally, many mothers-to-be in the tank experience amazing bonding with their unborn baby known as the “mirror effect” where the baby rests peacefully in the womb while the mother rests in a similar womb-like environment. If you are in your third trimester, or have any concerns, please consult with your physician before floating.

-Avoid caffeine intake 4-5 hours before your appointment (so you are not stimulated)
-Be well hydrated
-Have a snack or meal before your float (hunger is a powerful distraction)
-You will be showering before and after in the same room as the tank, so you may bring anything you would normally use for after your float (deodorant, face cream, hair brush, etc)
-Avoid shaving the day of your float
-If you wear contacts and cannot nap in them, bring a case to put them in during your float
