WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT FROM A SESSION?
We have two types of floating tanks, one pod with a lid and one open pool. Depending on your preference you can experience the openness of the pool or a more immersive experience with the closable pod. Float on your own or recharge together. The salt used in this therapy, Epsom salt, is a magnesium-rich mineral that is beneficial to the skin and removes impurities. You’ll be provided with a towel, robe, and props such as ear plugs and head support to make an enjoyable experience.
HOW LONG IS EACH SESSION?
Enjoy a 60-minute Sensory Deprivation float. Our treatment was designed so that you can accommodate a session whenever it suits you best, be it during a lunch break, early in the morning, or later in the evening to finish off your day.
PRIOR TO YOUR TREATMENT
Before a session hydrate well and visit the restroom if needed. We recommend avoiding caffeinated beverages or high-intensity activities to prime the body for a relaxing experience. Make sure to shower and rinse your body with warm water to remove any skin products or excess transpiration, this prepares your body to absorb as much magnesium as possible.

FAQs
Are there any contraindications or people who shouldn’t use Sensory Deprivation Floating?
While floating is safe for most people, it may not be suitable for individuals with certain medical conditions such as untreated epilepsy, severe claustrophobia, open wounds, or certain skin infections. Pregnant individuals and those with specific medical concerns or on certain medications should consult their healthcare provider before floating.
Is Sensory Deprivation Float suitable for pregnancy?
Floating is a safe treatment that can offer gentle, natural relief for many common pregnancy discomforts. Magnesium absorption through the skin may help reduce muscle cramps, improve sleep quality, and support overall stress relief, making it a soothing and restorative experience for expecting mothers.
This treatment is recommended between week 12 to week 36.
Is Sensory Deprivation Float suitable for those with claustrophobia?
Our float rooms are designed to provide a calming and spacious environment. For individuals who feel uneasy in enclosed spaces, we recommend booking the Open Float, which offers a more open and spacious feel. Additionally, the treatment settings can be adjusted, such as leaving the lights on to ensure comfort throughout the session.
How many Sensory Deprivation Float sessions are ideal for optimal benefits?
Individual responses to floating vary depending on personal health goals and physiology. As a general guideline:
- Stress Relief & Mental Clarity: 1–3 sessions per week can promote relaxation, reduce anxiety, and enhance focus.
- Athletic Recovery: 2–3 sessions weekly may aid muscle recovery and reduce inflammation.
- Sleep Improvement: Regular sessions can help reset sleep cycles and improve overall sleep quality.
Can I combine Sensory Deprivation Floating with other treatments at Renessence?
A Sensory Deprivation Float session is the foundation for a recharging journey. This treatment pairs seamlessly with Oxygen Hydroxy Therapy, Infrared Sauna, and Massages for improved restoration. For an optimized experience we recommend an infrared sauna session prior to a float for the body to fully cleanse and open the pores for optimized magnesium absorption.
How should I prepare for a floating session?
- If it's your first floating session with us, kindly complete this Health Intake form before your appointment.
- Please bring your swimwear.
- Prior to your session, we recommend hydrating well and visiting the restroom if needed.
- Make sure to shower and rinse your body with warm water before your floating session to remove any skin products or excess transpiration. Avoid using body products such as body wash or body lotion. This prepares your pores to absorb as much magnesium as possible.
- To fully prepare your body for a relaxing experience, it’s best to avoid caffeinated beverages, heavy meals or high-intensity activities.
- Refrain from shaving before your session, as the salt-rich water may cause a stinging sensation.
- We recommend to avoid float sessions shortly after dying your hair to prevent potential color fading or irritation.
What should I feel after a Sensory Deprivation session?
Reactions to floating vary widely. Some people experience deep relaxation, mental clarity, or a sense of calm immediately after a session, while others may not notice immediate changes. This is completely normal. Many of the benefits, such as reduced stress, improved sleep, and decreased inflammation accumulate over time with repeated sessions. Even without an obvious sensation, your body and mind are still benefiting from the sensory reduction and restorative effects.
