Float Therapy Spa

Great place. Very comfortable floats. Maria is very friendly and welcoming. Definitely give this place a try!

It was my first time floating.
I did not know what to expect — but the short video and Maria are great at explaining what to do and what the benefits are from floating. My appointment was 10AM. They open at 10AM. I went earlier sign a form and watch a short video on how to use the pod.
Basically — you go in a pod — a container that is filled with salt water — helps with floating, to help relax your body. It is an hour long floating session. The video and Maria will tell you when the hour is up and give you basic directions.
I think they have two pods and are one hour sessions. The place is clean and well kept. You are led to a room that has a pod, waterproof ear plugs, towel, shower, and a bench. There is also a lock. They give you a towel, have hair/​body liquid — I forgot to take my own shampoo/​conditioner — so I just used that. I also wore my swim suit. So if you are going to bring your swim suit — remember to bring an extra towel/​plastic bag to bag your wet swim suit. Also, I recommend bringing slippers for shower if you are not okay with going in the shower or walking around the room bare feet. There are carpet on the floor laid out — but it may be wet — and I don’t like that feeling so I rather wear my own slippers.
Remember — before you get into the pod — you need to do a thorough shower. Then you can go into the pod. Once you are in the pod — you may be shifting/​floating from side to side but eventually will end up being still — of course that is if you are not splashing and moving about. The water is SALT WATER — so you will float but at the same time — watch your eyes when you are in the process of getting out of the pod at the end of your session. Yes, there is a dry towel available just in case you get the salt water in your eyes. BUT also — be mindful that when you are standing up — water from your hair will drip down — so I had to take a few minutes to completely make sure my eyes were salt free.
The water felt a bit slimy and has a good scent of aromatic smell — calming and relaxing. Also — if you are your menstruation cycle you cannot go. Also — if you have a small cut/​open wounds — it will HURT. So unless it is minimal like VERY tiny, wait until the wound is closed. I didn’t think I had a cut — but once I got in — I guess I had a small cut a while back and it was pretty darn painful! And it was a TINY TINY cut!
The water I think is about room or body temperature — I forget which — so it is warm. However, for me, I started to feel a bit cold towards the end — not a lot just here and there. But if you move around a bit the warm water will start to come back to you within the pod.
They did not have a mirror in the room. They also did not have a hair dryer. I guess it makes sense — so you don’t take up so much time getting ready. I brought my own hair dryer — but don’t think I was able to find a plug to dry my hair — so I just towel dried my hair. So if the weather is cold — bring a jacket with a hood to keep you warm as you drive back to your home.
Oh one last thing — when you are showering after your session — REMEMBER to rinse your ears EXTRA clean! I thought I did a good rinse — but on my way home — I had a bunch of dry salt in my ears!

Very nice owner, very informative and caring. This location is very clean but somewhat basic.

Great & relaxing. I shall go into detail later. :D

Omgoodness I am officially hooked! Floating is an Amazing experience! This facility was extremely clean and the staff is very friendly. If you are looking for pure relaxation this is what you need to do! I will definitely be back for more.

Love this place! Maria and Randy are such nice people who really care about providing the best possible float experience. I feel so amazing after my one hour float! I feel clearheaded and light with an inner peace and stillness that last for days! I’m a floater for life!

My visit to the Float Therapy Spa was very enjoyable. This was my 2^nd time doing a «float» and first visit to this spa. The facilities were brand new and extremely well maintained. The staff/​owners were extremely friendly and very helpful. Would definitely recommend this location to a friend!

Excellent! Very relaxing. Spa was extremely clean and Maria was super nice and helpful. She walked me through the entire process and gave me great tips since it was my first float. If you’re thinking about it… Give it a try!

I had been wanting to come to a facility like this for a while especially one where the tanks looked like pods… i felt like I was in some space chamber… was awesome and so relaxing. I will definitely be back, highly recommended.

Made it in for my appointment and everything was perfect. Very friendly owner who is also very knowledgeable about her trade. Incredibly clean facility, great tanks, good vibes and amenities. My roommate and myself liked it so much we pre-​paid for a package of floats. You cant go wrong here. Stop reading this review and go make an appointment!

Literally the most relaxing thing ever even better coming out, its ike a reset button for your body and mind. also this Rolls Royce pod makes it much more comfortable to adapt to the darkness. One day ill be able to astral project into the universe and thanks to this forced meditation pod im a step closer! when can i move in ?!

one of these days I’m sure they’ll convince me to get in one of the pods… but as a claustrophobic hyper person, it is hard to think of laying still for so long in a pod. :-)
But I can tell you this, I’ve already talked to so many people who LOVE it and swear by the benefits. So I can safely say I’m a big (vicarious) fan… one of these days however…

Float on, float on… it’s like that song Modest Mouse sings.
Float therapy = most relaxing & amazing experience ever. I came here with a fellow coworker, who told me that this place would totally be relaxing & help release stress. FYI: We both have very stressful jobs. Plus, self care is important. We made reservations on our day off and this location has 2 pods. I’ve heard of other locations that use an isolation tank and the idea of a tank just scared me. This place uses pods, so that means it’s a big enough space and there is mood lighting or colors for your chakra. The location is small and looks like it’s part of a business complex. It is very clean!
The owner, Maria, is very knowledgeable and friendly! She gave great instructions about float therapy and it’s benefits. Once we arrived, it is a totally zen place. From the salt lamps to the background music, you totally feel at peace. Once Maria showed me to my room and pod, she told me anything and everything about safety and the pod. If you go to their website, it is also informative. The floating was amazing. I feel asleep and my coworker says that out of everyone she has taken, I am the first to fall asleep. I told her I must be tired. She tells me it’s cause I must be really into the therapy. Always thinking positive! Anyway, I was so at peace and calm. The next few days, I was so chill even at work. Nothing stressed me out despite all the stress happening. I even slept that night like a baby! I will definitely need to come back for more sessions.
Don’t you worry we’ll all float on alright… All float on.

Amazing experience. Great facility, clean, awesome staff. The staff explained everything thoroughly & so helpful! I wasn’t sure how I would feel about the process, or what I would experience. I honestly went in a little skeptical, but figured a one hour Epsom salt bath would be a huge relief for my body aches so it was gonna be a winning experience already. I felt like Mork in his egg spaceship.
At some point I while my eyes were closed I saw the color violet in what felt like the center of my forehead. I say this because I kept getting my eyes to focus towards the center and I thought to myself «your eyes are closed in a pitch black egg thingy. how can you see such bright violet colors?!» And then I felt a vibration on my left shoulder & side, it felt like when I’m on a massage chair at a nail salon and its on a slow massage vibrate on your back. As we left I asked the staff if they turned on some type of machine to make the water vibrate. She said no. I said… whoa.
Once we left,& walked out the door everything felt so loud and chaotic,& yet I was so relaxed. Much more than having a spa day! Definitely going back. Like a floating Snickers bar.

Firs time coming to this place, but 2^nd time floating. The receptionist lady was really nice and pleasant. When my friend and I went in for our float appointment, she gave us some paperwork to fill out and we watched a video on some tablets they provided.
When it came time to do the float, she walked us to the back and gave us the rundown on what to do and how things worked with these pods. pretty standard stuff. The floating in the pod experience was better then the one I had done in a float room/​chamber. I like the ability to listen to peaceful music (or not) and to have a colored light on (or not) during my float.
The shower area before the float was ok. Water pressure wasn’t that great and I can already tell the shower AFTER the float would just be adequate. The show floor area was kinda dirty probably due to the previous persons sandals or something. Also there was some hair at the bottom of the float tank before I went it. I wasn’t too bothered with it though. I didn’t want that to ruin my float experience.
The reason why it’s not a 5 star is because of the way the pod is set up to let you know that your time is almost up. I had no light on and the music on… she warned us before our float that thing would turn on (opposite of whatever you have running) when there are 5 mins left. Then in 2 mins, the filters would turn on. Well… being in a relaxed and peaceful state. the music cut off and the light turn on in a snap! It was pretty jarring even though I knew it would be coming like that. It would be nice to the customers to gradually cut off the music and gradually turn on the lights. When they both turned off/​on at the 5 min mark, it did it with a loud CLICK! hahaha. I kinda got startled. Once I found my bearings and started to get out, the filter started running.
The other part of the missing star is the towel at the end of your 2^nd shower. OMG… it actually hurt my skin to use that towel. I suggest bringing your own if you go here. Yes, that bad.
When you walk out of the pod and you 2^nd shower, you are kinda feeling a little light headed and have to acclimate back to the normal world. This was kinda hard when you walk back out to the reception area and the light is shinning through the front walls and doors. They should maybe put all the shades down and offer some water and seat before we depart. Just to get kinda back into the spin of things. I’ve experienced this at a different float place and really liked it. It did not happen here but this business is fairly new… I’m sure they eventually work out the kinks.
Other than that, this was a pretty nice and decent place located in a little strip mall area with plenty of parking spaces. If you’re in the area and wanted to try floating in a pod, give them a try. Just remember to bring your own towel and come in 10 min before your float time.
Check groupon or online for coupons as well.

Where do I even begin?
My bf suggested to experience a sensory deprivation pod because he’s read a lot about the benefits and has always wanted to do it. So I thought to myself, ‘why not?!’ I bought us 2 one hour sessions, and at first, I was skeptical. I felt really nervous because I am claustrophobic, but I called in ahead to make an appointment and clarified that people who ARE claustrophobic DO NOT experience any discomfort.
Skipping a to the day of the float therapy session:
Service was superb. Everything was sanitary, and it is required that you come 15 minutes prior to your float session, to fill out a waiver and watch a quick video about the float therapy. Afterwards, we were shown the room with the pod and was thoroughly instructed on how to work everything and what to do before, during, and after.
My first experience in the pod was crazy. The good kind of crazy! I felt so calm and I finally realized that it was my ME TIME. I came out with a very calm and relaxed state. Everything was just pure light and tranquil. Truly an unforgettable experience.
Thank you Float Therapy Spa staff, for an amazing first experience!
I highly recommend everyone to try this out, at least once in their lifetime!

I love this float spot! The owner is friendly and the pod looks so cute and clean. I really enjoyed the my 60 minutes floating session. I felt so relax and all neck pain practically gone afterward. I highly recommend this place!

The owners are amazing, knowledgeable and accommodating. I have now floated twice and the second time was even better than the first. Love the quiet, personal time to just relax. I couldn’t imagine that I would float so easily but it really is an amazing experience. I am claustrophobic so I left the pod open slightly and it is wonderful. You can listen to music or not, you can chose the color light in your pod or keep it dark.
I already have my third float scheduled and can’t wait. Totally worth every penny! Thanks Maria!

Decided to step outside of my box and try something new. Booked a float at Float Therapy Spa. I knew nothing about floating and I was not sure what to expect. I was nervous at first. When I first arrived, I watched a video that gives you an idea of what to expect and the benefits of floating. After you complete the wavier and video, the staff will show you to your room and how to use the equipment.
Each room has its own shower and float pod. You shower before you get in the pod and after. I started off with the lights on and the pod lid partially open. As I became more comfortable I turned the lights off and just focused on breathing. By the time I was able to fully relax, it was over. I felt completely relaxed as if I had just had an hour long massage. I slept better that night than I have in a long time. I was calmer and less stressed for the next few days. I tend to be an anxious person and could not believe how «not» anxious I was for the next couple of days.
I urge you to try a float at Float Therapy Spa. There are Groupons and Unilocal discounts available so you do not have to make a huge investment to try. This is something you need to experience for yourself. I cannot wait to go back!

Awesome customer service!
I have yet to go but so far Maria has been very accommodating. I sent an email late at night to ask about their services and I got a response within 5 minutes. I called on a Sunday 40 minutes after their closing time and I was surprised that Maria answered. I expected an answering machine to pick up.
Anyway, I am looking forward to trying this out. I’ve been wanting to for the longest time but the nearest one I could find is in Tujunga Canyon.
I’m egg-​soy-​ted! Will do an update soon.
=================
I’m gonna have a fit. I just finished writing a long review and the computer restarted. Why is there no auto save when editing reviews? And now I’m hungry.
Sigh. As I was saying…
I had a really bad migraine the day I went in so I feel like I can’t do a proper review update till I go back. Regardless, I give the place 4 stars.

What to expect:
* You will need to sign a waiver/​release form so be there 15 min early.
* You will be asked to watch a video on how to operate the pod; takes about 7 minutes.
* Bring your swimwear. Do not get into the pod in your birthday suit, yo! Even if its your birthday.
* Do not go if you’re menstruating (women, of course) or if you exude bodily fluids [o_​O] that will contaminate the water/​Epsom salt. Unless if you are willing to fork over $ 500 for the clean up and replacement, then have at it.
* Avoid shaving the day prior or the area might sting or get irritated easily.
* The air is pretty humid inside the pod and you might find it hard to breathe for a few minutes but your body will get used to it. It’s actually perfect for decongesting … uhhmm congestions.
Pros
* I love how there is a shower stall in each room which means no trekking water between rooms
* The rooms have sensor lights that brighten gradually. Perfect for when you’re barely opening the pod; you don’t want blinding lights after being in complete darkness.
* They provide and highly recommend the use of ear plugs to keep water out but of course I forgot put mine on. No problems even though I didn’t use the ear plugs.
* The water has the same temperature as your skin and it feels really nice. I was told that’s how they achieve the feeling of senselessness or floatation. It feels like your body is not in contact with anything because of the temperature similarity.
Cons
* I can’t think of anything except I would highly recommend a lounge chair by the elephant painting. I got out of the pod prematurely because of my migraine and I needed to lie down but the couch in the waiting area didn’t sound too appealing.
The voices in my head says, «Duh, you should’ve laid back down in the pod!»
«Durrrr! Obviously I wanted to lay down on a bed or couch, not back in the pod.»

I definitely want to go back again minus the migraine. Overall, the experience was relaxing. It felt good in between the migraine’s ebb and flow. I thought it would help but my migraine was already in full bloom by the time I got there so basically I spent an hour of **3 sec relaxation — 4 sec pain — 3 sec relaxation — 4 sec pain” cycle. If I got there earlier, I believe it would’ve helped ease the pain.
Disclaimer: I may or may not have asked Maria to terminate my companion’s session earlier than usual. I mean… If I can’t enjoy it, then no one will. [~.~]
