I had my first float just before Christmas week. I wasn't sure what to expect, but it came highly recommended. Judith made me feel at ease from the moment I went in. She was so reassuring and gave me a really in depth prep talk. The float itself was very different and I don't think I could do justice in describing it. I did feel disconcerted at first, but relax into it, I seemed to stay somewhere between awake and asleep for most of it. Afterwards I was the most relaxed I have been in months, I slept brilliantly that night and cannot stop telling people about it. I made sure to book myself in for my next float before leaving that day. More...

Had a great session with Viv during which I got insights and resolution on a trauma I experienced a long time ago. It’s best to work with a practitioner on big stuff and Viv is very professional. I’d also recommend the one hour flotation session that followed my session which was a first for me. More...

This place is awesome. Never really knew what floating was about , Until today. What an amazing experience. You are actually floating, no gravity holding you down. You just float your stress away. It’s a must for anyone who is stressed from work or just life. Is in any pain. Just needs time to relax. Time to be just free. The list is endless to be honest. But I seriously would recommend this place to anyone. Regardless of size, sex or age. Just do it. More...

In the middle of a very stressful year due to my final year of uni and suffering some mental health issues I was recommended to give hydroease a go by a family member. What can I say this place is amazing the level of care is extraordinary even after treatment had finished. I chose to carry out a Raft treatment once a week after finishing a long day of uni and the results were amazing I left the treatment feeling lighter about my stress and worries and this feeling stayed with me for days!!! By the time it came round to my next float and raft treatment I was buzzing with excitement! The Raft treatment first consisted of a one on one session with Viv were I was able let go of a lot of burdens and I was introduced to the havening technique something I am still able to use on a daily basis when I need some on the go mindfulness.... next came the float that in a way helped to ground me and allow me to regain focus as I was consistently on the go and my head was constantly all over the place. Overall the Raft treatment not only helps your body emotionally and mentally but also physically! The team here are extraordinary and so supportive even beyond their jobs as Viv and Judith came to support me at my final year show this shows that hydro ease and floating is not just a job as they truly care about the individual beyond floating! I couldn't recommend this place or the team highly enough. Now that I've finished my studies I look forward to getting back down for another float and to refocus once again!! More...

Amazing! Who knew this secret. Floating actually works. Today I had my first float, My God. I can not recommend this enough. Regardless of age, sex or size. I had 90 minutes of my body just relaxing, healing itself. My mind loving the quietness. I now know how those guys in space feel. Floating there is no gravity. You are literally floating the stress away. Honestly if your thinking about. Just do it. I’ve put this off for past 2 years. Best thing I’ve done all year. Oh thanks Judith More...

As a person that finds it really difficult to switch off and relax. I cannot recommend floating enough. I carry a lot of tension in my neck and shoulders and it just melted away. We are always switched on with life and technology just having the ability to experience weightlessness and completely let go makes an unbelievable difference. literally left feeling like a weight had been lifted. The staff genuinely care. Will definitely be back More...

I was greeted by Hayley and very well looked after. having a physical disability I had concerns over my safety in wet floor areas/getting in/out of the tank. however Hayley couldn't have been a better host. Reassurance and information was on point. Hayley accompanied me to the changing area and left only when I was completely at ease. She returned and assisted me from the water safely, arranging my showering particulars, spraying my face with refreshing cool spritzer, polishing my glasses! Where else would you get it? Even offered to assist me showering. Upon rejoining Hayley after dressing, she kindly asked if I needed any help drying my hair, offered refreshments in an easy room. I need to point out that the this service was decreet and tactfully offered, which enhanced the whole experience for me. The floatation chamber was warm, comfortable and very relaxing. Initially I was anxious and was tense getting into it due to my physical limitations. It didn't settle immediately but knew I had a call button, should I wish to leave early or require help. After a while I relaxed and appreciated the weightless experience on my sore muscles and post op aches. I am not accustomed to the quietness and didn't fully embrace this element of the therapy. For me, I feel my next session will be even more beneficial as I will not have the same concerns and be prepared to embrace the opportunity to relax and regulate my busy head (if that makes sense). I'm really excited to see the results after a few more sessions and already I have been recommending! More...

This was the most wonderful, emotional, spiritual experience I have ever had. Completely anxious I stepped into an hour of the unknown which turned out to be pure and complete calmness. I laughed, I cried soooooo much and for such a long time in years..I WAS...I was in the present and nothing or anyone was going to interrupt that... I was ME! MY TIME! Before this absolutely mind blowing experience I had issues with my jaw cracking constantly. Undoubtedly brought on by stress. It had been an irritation and painful part of everyday life and even dictated what I was able to eat at times. This is NO WORD OF A LIE..when I got out of the flotation tank and was getting ready to leave, I was immediately aware that the overwhelming disorder had left my body. WHAT? Yes! for months and months I suffered this complaint and now it had gone! and still is. I seriously cannot recommend how powerful this experience was for me. Almost "reborn". emotional in every way and physically a the most sensational experience every. You feel magical floating in the epsom salts, your body feels like silk and your mind explodes. I found this experience similar to meditation but so much more powerful and easier relax into. My aim now is to plan my months correctly so that I WILL set aside the time to float once a month. One hour for ME! That's really not too much to ask for is it? Thank you so much to Vivian for this opportunity and to the lovey Jude who was there to take me through every step...and after to hug me.

Tonight Megan tried a session of flotation at Hydro-ease; shes only back from a 2 days residential in Poland and over 20 miles were walked so back and legs were a tad sore. megan is fused t2-l4 which is 4 rods in her spine and 36 screws for scoliosis. When entering Megan was met by Lisa; who was first class - she explained to Megan and had her read through the rules. She then took Megan to the pool explained the process and left. Anyone that knows Megan will understand 90 minutes away from her phone is a big commitment, but, she was doing this for the kids Megan said it took about 10 minutes to "switch off"; and then woke up, so yip she fell asleep, she felt some tingles in her legs and shoulder blades we later found out this was the salt working the sore muscles. She came out feeling revived, relaxed and happy she didnt see the time going in. Overall a really positive visit, friendly efficient staff, and the treatment seems to have worked. This is something we are thinking about for pre surgery kids, the night before surgery to go and relax and forget everything for 90 minutes. Adults must float with under 16s, so would be a nice treat for the parent as well. Please visit their facebook to read the benefits and illnesses it helps. 5⛤ treatment from entering until leaving More...

I flew over from Scotland to try flotation for the 1st time as I have been reading lots of reviews to how it can help with relaxation and with pain. I carry my stress on my shoulders which can be very painful at times.... I was apprehensive at 1st as I thought the flotation tank was going to be a enclosed pod but was surprised and very happy to see it was a large open space. Once getting into the tank and lying back I could feel myself relaxing stage by stage...it was a weird sensation at 1st as I felt like I was going down a water flume moving side to side and when I opened up my eyes I wasn't moving anywhere I was just floating. I will be encouraging others to try this as I came out feeling all refreshed, less stressed and pain free and this has continued on to the next again day which it's an amazing result from anyone that knows me � More...

Was in today for my first float, I suffer from ptsd due epilepsy as a child, I had seizures at night that came with me being blind and a spinning sensation, this has led to a life long fear of complete darkness and loss of control, it has fed into many other aspects of my life where I feel fear and dread believing a seizure is coming for no reason.
Today gave me the opportunity to work on healing from this, I could control the light in the tank so if I felt panic set in I could stop it, also this gave me the choice to push further into and self talk myself out of panicking.it took quite some time for me to relax as you may imagine, but when I did I felt like time itself ceased to exist and I relaxed deeper than I ever thought I would.
I also suffered from stage 4 cancer 7 years ago at the age of 30, so plenty to work on and no better setting to do it.
Next float booked already and I fully intend to use it in the long term to help me come to terms with the trauma I've suffered in my life.
Ps I would recommend it to anyone it has health benefits across the board, I felt joints click into place and still feel relaxed hours later

I was very skeptical to begin with and didn't think floating could help with everything that I had read about on the Hydro-ease Facebook page. I read few reviews from clients and thought I would give it a go.

From entering Hydro-ease until I left, I cannot thank the staff enough for how welcoming and lovely they were and how they made my experience even better.

When I got into the tank to float my mind was racing and I couldn't settle, but after ten minutes or so I started to relax more and more, then the time just flew by. Before I knew it I had been floating for an hour!

Knowing that my float was over I thought I would feel rejuvenated and relaxed, but initially I didn't. It wasn't untill I got changed and ready and was chatting to the staff in the reception area that I realised that I was extremely relaxed, and felt a 'sense of happiness'.

Before I left I sat and relaxed in the Hydro-ease lounge. I really did feel brand new, not a worry or trouble came to mind.


I had a fantastic experience and cannot recommend this highly enough, I will definitely be back!


Thank you Vivian for Hydro-ease and thanks to the lovely staff too!

For the first time in months I am not craving sugar; it is such a relief and I hadn't expected to get this from the session.

I love to see people making lasting neurological change to improve their health and well being, i love assisting people to make changes that inform an easier way of life enabling them to become the best version of themselves

I always worked in the charity and voluntary sector under someone else banner which restricted my creativity when approaching human change so decided to break free from being a salary slave, spend the families life savings and place myself into £60,000 of debt to chase my dream .. and the only time i have looked back since was to remind myself go how far i have came.

I can offer simple effective techniques that have their evidence and effectiveness well recorded, the services i proved are free from judgment and stigma to enable the root cause to be deal with and healed, there are no sticking plasters in hydro-ease just lasting neurological change.
