I love floating at the recovery room. Never a time in my hectic life have I gotten the opportunity to rest like I have while floating. This is the best place to turn everything off and actually have a moment of peace and relaxation. I highly suggest utilizing the Recovery room. And it only gets better each time you go! More...

The staff is friendly and accommodating, guided by the passion for providing resources for the spiritual betterment of the community. More...

For someone who struggles to "turn off" mentally and physically, floating has been a great escape! The weightless sensation and Epsom salts also aided in muscle recovery after a strenuous CrossFit workout. The facility is very calm, clean, and Patrick is a zen host. More...

The float was was the most amazing thing I have ever done! I felt like nothing was weighing on me and all my stress and worries were gone for a while. You feel like you are floating around in space and you are so relaxed. Words cannot describe how relaxing and amazing this experience is! More...

I loved my experience in the sauna and float tank. The combination of both is an amazing way to relax that is healthy for the mind and body, unlike other coping mechanisms that many of us use to combat physical and mental stress. The facilities are beautiful and very clean. I would absolutely recommend to friends and family. Everyone should try floating at least once! More...

This place is a great option for so many ailments or none at all...just to help achieve peace. I’ve floated 3 times and gotten two amazing chair massages. Like anything, you’ve gotta get used to the sensation of floating. But, holy cow once you do...it’s...amazing! If you have any aches and pains (who doesn’t?), this is a fantastic, relaxation sensation. Like floating in space or laying on the most perfectly, customized mattress in the world. All those weird aches and pains seem to subside. It’s gotten better each time, for sure. Highly recommended. More...

If you've been wanting to try a salt float- do it here. Private rooms with a fab it's-raining-from-the-ceiling shower for before and after your float. Ear plugs provided and there's a lock on the room door (two things I was worried about). Tip: place your head at the opposite end of the opening to the tank because the lid may drip salt water onto your face. From within you have access to a light and a heater. The experience left me feeling better than any massage ever has. Definitely going back More...

INCREDIBLE exprerience!! first off immediately upon walking in the ambiance of the room is already working to relax u and make u feel comfortable. then greeted by Patrick, the owner, with a very friendly welcome along with genuine enthusiasm for meeting u and for the experience u are about to have. we went to try the float tanks out but were also introduced to several other services he offers. as for the float tank experience itself i truly cant even describe it.. for someone like myself who is hypervigilant and tends to have a wandering, overactive and over analytical mind, this was just what i needed. the opportunity to COMPLETELY disconnect from outside stimulation and navigate my thoughts while simultaneously allowing every muscle in my body to truly relax and heal.. if ur worried about clostraphobia, dont be. it sounds counter intuitive, but once the door closes and ur floating there in the water, in pitch black, u lose ALL perseption of depth perseption and space relativity. instead of feeling confined in a 4x8 box, the darkness does the opposite and creates a feeling of existing within this neverending abyss. i cant recall any recent time i have i have felt more relaxed or more refreshed then after my time in the float tank. so much so that when the time was up, upon stepping out i had this super surreal feeling and almost discontentness with the real world like "oh, im back in this place again..." lol.. this will most definitely become something i go to on a somewhat regular basis, or as regular as possible as i have an hour drive to get there, but its definitely worth it. from the experience itself, the alleviation of stress and anxieties that have been building up, how light and relaxed my entire body felt the rest of the day, to the knowledge and friendliness of Patrick, to the subtle details like the waiting room and being served sparkling water in an actual glass instead of a paper cup. i could not recommend this place enough and everybody owes it to themselves to try it at least once. HANDS DOWN 5 STARS!!! More...

You can tell that a lot of thought and care was put into the details of this place, making it a truly special experience. From the entrance to the end of the destination, the mindfulness is tangible . Patrick reflects his facility, or rather it is a reflection of him, with his sincere and attentive demeanor. I couldn't have asked for a better experience for my first float, and I am looking forward to the next. If you are interested in exploring consciousness or new experiences in general, I would highly recommend trying out the sensory deprivation tanks. More...

Really relaxing experience. Did it for the first time tonight. I am so grateful for the Father's Day gift from my son, who also tried floating for the first time. We both thoroughly enjoyed it. I lost track of time and floated in and a semi-dream state. It was awesome and I'll be back. More...

Incredible. I've been wanting to float for years now and was so happy when I heard there was an opportunity close by to try it out! I echo others' experiences of all of the details being thoroughly thought out, and the whole atmosphere being perfect to unwind. From the waterfall shower heads in the shower to the salt lamp wall lights and large, plush towels, I cannot think of anything else that would have made my experience better. I even got a chance to try the massage chair for a few minutes before my float and it was the cherry on top. I can't wait to go back. I can't speak highly enough of my experience! More...

A wonderful addition to Iowa City! I had been meaning to try floatation therapy for awhile, and Patrick was very helpful in making my first time comfortable (I have an ear issue). It was a perfectly serene, silent, and meditative experience. Next time I'll go for 90 minutes! I highly recommend to anyone looking to try something to filter out the noise and relax...and physically, it is wonderful for deep stretching and muscle relief (I went after gym). The facility is super clean and Patrick gives a great explanation of the machines and what to expect. More...
