Here’s what you need to know!

General Info

Please arrive 5 minutes before your scheduled appointment time.
Be sure to complete the required online health waiver prior to your session.
You must shower thoroughly before entering the float tank to remove body oils and perspiration.
Drink plenty of water before and after your session to stay properly hydrated.
We allow adequate time between your sauna and float sessions to shower and transition comfortably without feeling rushed.
Please advise our staff of any medical conditions, low/high blood pressure, or concerns regarding heat or floating before beginning.
If you are feeling sick or unwell, please contact us to reschedule your appointment for another day.

If you're new to ice baths, start with a shorter duration (about 3-5 minutes). Over time, you can gradually increase the time as your body adjusts to the cold.

For optimal results, wear a swimsuit or comfortable clothing that allows for easy movement while immersed in the cold water.

Drink plenty of water before and after your ice bath to stay hydrated, as cold immersion can lead to dehydration.

FAQs

We understand that FLAUNA can be a new experience for many people, so here are some common questions before your first session.

How long does the FLAUNA package take?

The package includes a 30-minute infrared sauna session followed by a 60-minute floatation therapy session (90 minutes of active treatment). Please allow approximately 1 hour and 45 minutes in total to account for showering, getting changed, and transitioning smoothly between rooms.

Is combining a float and sauna beneficial?

Yes, the two services offer distinct yet complementary experiences. The infrared sauna warms the body, eases muscular tightness, and induces relaxation. Following this with floatation therapy allows you to settle into the weightless, sensory-quiet environment much faster. While individual experiences vary, many clients find this combination delivers a much deeper state of rest than either service on its own.

Are there studies showing benefits from combining floatation therapy and sauna?

Scientific research has studied the benefits of infrared sauna bathing and floatation therapy (sensory deprivation) individually. However, formal clinical studies specifically investigating the simultaneous or sequential combination of the two therapies together remain limited. We recommend this package based on how well the warming and buoyant modalities complement each other for personal relaxation, rather than unsupported clinical claims.
