Welcome to Float Wellness Spa


Our goal is to provide a beautiful and peaceful environment for healing and relaxation. We are not your typical spa or wellness center. Some of our services and modalities might seem strange or unique, but this concept has been crafted around the idea of whole health and wellness. This starts with mental health.  Emotional stress is a major contributing factor to chronic mental and even physical health issues, and it would be reasonable to theorize that stress and anxiety levels have never been higher in this country. Our space is filled with modalities that can not only help manage stress, but also boost your immune system, recover from injuries, expand consciousness, and release muscle tension. Below you will find resources that are designed to help you find the right services for your needs. Please feel free to contact us with any questions and assistance in finding the right alchemy of services.

Float FAQs

Floating has been around for over 60 years.  There is a substantial amount of published research to back it up along with continued research at the Laureate Institute for Brain Research here in the U.S. and studies being done abroad.  Check out https://www.clinicalfloatation.com/ to learn more about ongoing floatation therapy research.

Float therapy has a wide array of both physical and mental benefits. Some of the most significant are noticeable relaxation, relief from pain/inflammation, and improved sleep as a result of the previous two.


Additional physical benefits include: Deep relaxation and theta wave production, increased blood circulation, improved muscle recovery, reduction in chronic pain, increased immune function.


Additional mental benefits include: Stress reduction, increased creativity, increased sensory acuity/reaction time, improved sleep schedule maintenance, feelings of euphoria.  Some find the deep meditative state very spiritual as well.

We provide robes, flip-flops, towels, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, ear-plugs, lotion, Q-tips, and blow dryers.  If you have long hair, you may want to bring a hair tie or if you use a special brush/comb.  We have contact lens cases if you choose to take out your contacts while you’re in the tank.


Each room is fully private, and you go into the tanks nude, so there’s no need to bring a bathing suit.

Most people do not wear bathing suits when floating, and this is what we recommend as well. Anything you wear while floating will become heavy with the Epsom salt and may be distracting during your float.

We recommend that you do not drink coffee or other caffeinated beverages for several hours beforehand.  Also, don’t shave or wax since the salt water may irritate sensitive skin with razor burn. Eating a light meal about an hour to 90 minutes ahead of time stops your stomach from distracting you while you float. Otherwise, no specific preparation is needed!

People with claustrophobia consistently report no problems with floating. You are always in control of your environment, and can choose to float with the pod or suite open, the lights can be kept on (at your request), and you are able to freely enter and exit the tank.  Neither the I-sopod nor the Zero Gravity suite latch or lock shut. If you have additional concerns, feel free to discuss with a FLOAT crew member.


The cabin is generally the tank we recommend for folks with severe claustrophobia.  The ceiling in this tank is 7 feet tall, so you have a ton of room in there!

Neither the I-sopod nor the Zero Gravity suite latch or lock shut and you are able to freely enter and exit the tanks. That said, the float usually goes by much faster than you’d expect (the average customer usually says it felt like 30 minutes long).

 A common question, as some struggle to float in other bodies of water—we assure you, based on the 1,200 lbs of Epsom salt in the water, you will absolutely float effortlessly in our tanks which are more dense than the Dead Sea.




Epsom salt has actually been used for treating skin ailments and will leave your skin feeling smooth and silky. Your skin will not even prune!

FLOAT observes rigorous health and safety regulations in order to provide customers with a safe experience.  The 1,200 lbs of Epsom salt in the water creates a solution which is inherently sterile and does not allow for the proliferation of bacteria.  Between each float, the entire volume of the tank is filtered 3-4 times through a 1-10 micron filter, and treated with UV light and Hydrogen Peroxide to purify and disinfect the water. Additionally, when the tanks are not in use, purification system routinely runs to cleanse the water.




No. The 10 inches of water is so buoyant you can’t help but float at the top. Some people do choose to sleep in the pods.

While it has happened to all of us, it is best to avoid touching your face with your hands during your session.



We provide a squirt bottle full of fresh water in each tank. There are also face towels to bring into your float if for any reason you may need to touch your face mid-float.



There are no weight restrictions, and we do our best to make everyone comfortable at our facility.  

Not only is it safe but it is absolutely encouraged since pregnant clients may experience some of the greatest relief from floating! While pregnant, the added weight and pressure on the mother’s body is likely to cause pain and discomfort, the weightless impact of floating can provide much needed relief and allows you to escape the added stress.  It has also been touted as an awesome way to bond with your baby.  



There is even a special position you can float in that relieves all of the weight of the baby off of the mother’s body.  If you are in your third trimester, or have any concerns, please consult with your physician before coming in.

Yes. Just follow the same protocol you would for a public swimming pool or hot tub.

The color from your hair could stain the tank, therefore, we recommend that you check if the water running through your hair in the shower at home is fully clear. If there is still some color coming out you should wait a couple of more days/showers before coming in to float.

By booking an appointment with us you agree to the following cancellation and rescheduling policy, including IN THE CASE OF PERSONAL EMERGENCIES and unexpected life events.  We understand that this can feel unfair when a personal emergency comes up, but if we are held accountable for every client's personal emergencies and unexpected life events it becomes quite costly for us as a locally owned small business.

We do not charge for cancellations with greater than 24 hours notice from the start time of the first appointment.   

We require 24 hours notice for any cancellations or rescheduling.  Late cancellations will be charged half the price of the service or package you are scheduled for or forfeit of service credit.  In the case of a No Call, No Show the FULL price of the service will be charged.  If you are booking within 24 hours of your appointment you have one hour from the time of the booking to cancel or reschedule to avoid cancellation fees.  Refunds on gift cards are only available for 30 days after purchase.  Please email admin@floatsa.com or call 210-562-3310 with any questions.  


Of course, you're welcome to bring a friend to Float! While our float tanks are generally designed for individual use, we do offer a Couples Float experience in our spacious cabin. Our facility is equipped with five float tanks—four pods and one cabin—as well as a massage room, an infrared sauna and a salt cave. So if you're interested in making it a group event, you can even host your own float party and invite up to five additional people to enjoy all the services that Float has to offer.


The first float tank was developed in 1954 by John C. Lily and involved full submersion in water as well as a breathing device that was worn over the face.  The first commercial tanks were invented in the early 70’s.

Yes, but you’re not submerged in water, you don’t eat ritualistic mushrooms, and only a small percentage of floaters turn into proto-human monkeys.




At Float our minimum age is 16 for float sessions.  

We love offering couples floats in our cabin style tank, especially for individuals who may not feel comfortable floating alone. For this service, you will be provided a longer shower time beforehand. The cabin offers enough space for two people to comfortably float together, however, you may bump into each other occasionally. If you are looking for true sensory deprivation, floating individually may be a better option for you!
