Floatfix - Dunedin's first floatation therapy pod

The intricate interplay of our body and mind has everything to do with living a healthy and happy life. Floating is a natural approach, you can leave the noise and confusion behind and perhaps, for the first time in your life, experience total relaxation and deep healing in your private, peaceful space. The benefits from floating are vast and varied. They can be present during the float session only, or they can last for an extended period of time after the session ends. One general rule of thumb that stands out, the more you float, the better it gets!

Our Pod is filled with 25cm of water which is super saturated with Epsom salt. The salt solution allows you to float on the surface effortlessly and creates a zero-gravity environment.You then lie on your back in the water with the intention of reducing all sensory inputs: sight, sound, touch, smell, taste. The water is kept at skin-temperature, once you get into the water it does not take long for you to lose where your body ends and the water begins.

Our Pod is pitch-black. This allows you to keep your eyes open and stare into the darkness. This is a fantastic feeling and a key part of the floatation experience. Once in the Pod the sounds of everyday life are gone and you are left in silence.

You are now in an ideal environment to relax, reboot, recover and enhance your body and mind. Once your brain is freed from the tasks of maintaining gravity control, and monitoring your body temperature, along with other tasks it has the freedom to recover, this is something that is very rare in our world, but so rewarding and necessary. The dopamine and endorphins that get released help to destress and heal your body. You probably have never felt anything like it.
