Being in a float tank is like relaxing in outer space. It’s likely to be the most relaxing thing you have ever experienced.
People float to relieve stress, recover from injuries, fight addiction, eliminate chronic pain and much more. Studies indicate that floating increases your dopamine and endorphin levels, boosting your mood and leaving you with a pleasant afterglow that lasts for days.
Without the need to fight gravity or take in external information, you’ll likely experience the most complete relaxation you’ve ever felt. It turns out that your body has a lot of extra resources at it’s disposal.
Your mind is free to mull things over without distraction, your brain waves slow down, and your body gets to rest, de-stress and heal.
I only first heard about float therapy in early 2018! I did some research and the next thing I find myself in a flotation tank in Brisbane and knew I had to bring this to the Darwin community. On the same trip (June 2018), we found a flotation pod for sale and bought it with no idea how we were going to get it to Darwin! It’s been a very steep learning curve and fortunately there are some terrific resources online that have taught us everything we need to know.
Our family moved to Darwin from Melbourne in 1993 as the result of a Defence Force posting. We brought our 7 year old twins (boy and girl) and our cat Stanley and the rest as they say, is history. We now have a grandson who was born in Darwin and couldn’t imagine living anywhere else.
Phil, (husband of 34 years) and I started our own personal journey approx. 15 years ago to lead a healthier life. We took it slowly by first reducing consumption of foods with chemicals and preservatives. We started researching more and learnt that our lifestyle choices up until then had not necessarily been the best for our health and wellness. Over time we gradually made better choices and continue our search for the “truth”, instead of relying on marketing and media hype, which often means going against “the norm”.
Four years ago I became a Miessence representative and New Horizons NT was born out of a mission to share information with people on health and well being through a range of Australian Certified Organic products. It wasn’t long before I realised I had found my passion! Through my business, I have gained so much knowledge about harmful toxins that affect not only us but also our environment. It also sparked a deeper interest into gut health, nutrition and fasting and understanding the connection with so many of the diseases we see today. Saltwater Float Spa has evolved from these beginnings and a strong desire to help people. Like most things in my life, opportunities appear when the timing is right and the universe is aligned!
After a career spanning 18 years in the NT public service, at the age of 53, I decided to take a leap of faith and follow a path that was better aligned with my values and fulfil a need to help people and our environment. I certainly couldn’t achieve any of this on my own. Phil worked tirelessly over 10 months to make it all work. There’s been plenty of challenges along the way, a lot of sweat and a few tears, but by staying focused on the end result, we did it!
Now my aim is spread the word about floating and I'm sure you'll all help me do this. ❤️Karen
