Floaten
Flotation therapy | What does it mean?
Floating is a weightless and without incentives way to float on salted water in your own floating room. The water is saturated and 1/3 part in the water is mineral magneseium and salt.

Remember the following factors whenever you wish to achieve an optimal float experience:
- Consult your doctor first when you have physical or mental complaints or use medication.
- Come 10 minutes early before the agreed upon floating session in order to receive a good explanation.
- It is advisable to eat sufficiently before the floating session but not too much.
- Do not drink a cup of coffee within an hour before the floating session.
- Do not shave (or wax) within a couple of hours before the floating session since the salinity of the water may sting. Small damages to the skin can be covered with Vaseline (is available).
- You can make use of a special pillow to support your neck during the floating session.
- Bring you liquid and container if you wear contact lenses.
- Rinse your ears thoroughly when you are done floating. According to many people, a lot of salt stays behind inside the ears whenever you do not rinse. There are also ear plugs available.
- If you are pregnant or recovering from a childbirth, discuss this with your doctor and us beforehand.
Please remember that floating is not allowed whenever:
- Your menstruation period starts or is supposed to start on the day you booked a floating session.
- You have large damages to the skin that are not fully healed. Small damages are not a problem. You can cover this with our acid-free Vaseline.
- You consumed alcohol or used drugs before a floating session.
Contraindication
- A contraindication generally counts for (heavily) psychiatric patients and those with clinical depressions because, in these cases, the effects of floating are unpredictable.
- Needless to say, people with open wounds or are incontinent are not suitable candidates for floating.
- People with a high blood pressure can reach such a low blood pressure that they faint. However, there as little to no risk when the blood pressure is treated by medicine.
- The same counts for people that have epilepsy.
