Much research has revealed the power of weightlessness created by the dense Epsom salt solution in the tanks.  It removes the feeling of gravity on the body, relieving all the pressure and stress that gravity normally places on one’s muscles and joints.   The reduction of environmental stimulation experienced through our senses ~ such as sight, sound, and touch ~   allows our mind to become tranquil and clear.   This deep mental relaxation and physical relief allows you to rest, recover, and rejuvenate your body and your mind.

Yes!  Our Float tanks are manufactured by Superior Float Tanks, an industry leader.  Their tanks feature the best filtration system possible combining the most advanced technology in water circulation, UV sterilization, and ozone injection systems.  The filtration system is The Evolution Filtration System and it is able to filter particles from the water to 1 micron in size (smaller than a skin cell) and is FDA compliant for drinking water (Class 1 Filtration).

Superior Float Tanks are used by New England Patriots, US Navy Seals, many high-end Float Centers, just to name a few.  At Lokahi Spa we pride ourselves on our meticulous cleaning practices before and after each Float session as well as throughout the day.

Water is recirculated and filtered through the system at least three times between each use.  In addition we test the waters at least three times a day to maintain the highest levels of sanitation.  Plus, Epsom salt significantly reduces the potential for bacteria and germ growth.  If you would like more detailed information on our float system please contact us and we can email you more information.

We recommend clients not shave or wax the day of their float to minimize any potential skin sensitivity to the salt.  We also recommend you limit caffeine intake prior to your float to support a calm mindset.  Avoid large meals prior to your float as well.  If you are a first-time Floater please arrive 15 minutes early to allow for intake paperwork, a short informational video, and any questions you may have.    We will then escort you to your float room and show you how to customize your Float to what you would like.  Each Float Room has a changing room, shower, and then the Float Room.  Guests will shower before a float to thoroughly cleanse any hair and skin products, and after the float as well to rinse the Epsom salt off and clean/condition your hair/body as preferred.

We will provide you with all you need for your Float Therapy ~ Towels, organic shampoo and conditioner, body soap, earplugs, and a float headrests if you don’t want your ears in the water.  All you have to bring is any supplies you want for grooming post-float.

No worries!  At first, many of us have this concern.  Once you see our Float Rooms, we believe you will feel at ease.  Contact us and we can set up a time to show you our rooms.  Our systems allow each floater to customize their session to their comfort level.  Our system allows you to leave your float room door open if you prefer which leads out to your own private shower/changing area.  It also provides you options for low lighting within the room, star lit sky ceilings, music.  There is no right or wrong way to Float, whatever makes you feel good!

Floating is not for everyone – you should not float if…

• You recently colored your hair or have gotten a spray tan - the recommended wait time is 10 days.   Please make sure your hair is not leaking any color when wet or washed.  If your hair has been recently colored or has wash out coloring, we will unfortunately not be able to host you in our Floats.  This will ensure that the tank solution does not discolor your hair, and your hair or spray tan will not discolor our tub.

• You have a new tattoo.  The recommended wait time is 4 weeks.

• You have epilepsy that is not medically controlled and supervised.

• You are under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

• You are in your first trimester of pregnancy.

• You have any significant open wounds or cuts or have an infectious disease.  Petroleum jelly will be provided to cover any small cuts.

Please consult your physician prior to floating if you have any specific health concerns!

We require at least 24 hour advanced cancellation notice to receive a full refund on appointments.  Any cancellation made with less than 24 hours will incur a $50 fee.  No-Shows will be charged for the full session.  A courtesy confirmation will be sent to you.  Please call Lokahi Spa to cancel or reschedule your appointment.
