The power in our building needed to be turned off due to an electrical issue with one of our panels. We’re waiting on NSPI to give us a time that they can come by to have a look. We have an electrician onsite (bless his heart) who made the call to shut down due to safety issues.

We are so sorry to have to cancel appointments today. Truly a bummer with so many new faces coming in. We will get you rebooked once we can turn our computer back on!

Happy , this week's blog is about floating with chronic pain from 🩶🛟🫧⁠

"....Since I've become a float ambassador I hardly get sick anymore because I feel like my body isn't on contact fight mode with my immune system on top of my chronic pains. To me this has given me opportunity to enjoy things I would usually never get to do cause in the past I would be on the floor fighting a flair up!⁠
Now one thing to mention is just going once won't change it right away, if you are able to keep it consistent and find it to help with your health then you will be able to start seeing results :) I find I can work full time as a barista now and I'm not kneeling over in pain by the end of the week...." ⁠ 🥲☕️⁠

‼️We now have contact with the contractor who will be doing their best to update us as the work progresses. Our intention is to send out an email to folks on the schedule for the day *if*we think the activities may interfere with the “sensory deprivation” aspect of their float.

Depending on the location of the rock breaking equipment, we have found that the disturbance can range from “barely noticeable” to “definitely, yup”. This is sporadic and will be ongoing for the next 3-4 months.

Blasting only happens a few times a day and a rumble is felt throughout the building. Guests who experienced it while floating have shared that it didn’t bother them because they knew what it was. We also recognize many of the folks who visit us are using our services for PTSD and this disruption would NOT be cool.

Things that help:
💕Wear your ear plugs
💕Use the neck rest(s)

💤 Sensory friendly times: No activity on evenings (5pm onwards) and weekends. 💤

Our RMTs use white noise machines and soothing music during their treatments which creates a calming atmosphere while masking the background noise. They are happy to adjust their volume levels while treating to accommodate your preferences.

We want you to know that this will only be going on for 3-4 more months. If you’re looking for ways to support us during this time, but don’t want to visit, please pop to our website to grab a gift card. It really, truly helps & we appreciate it. 🙏

While this sucks, there ain’t nothing we can do about it except be accommodating and transparent as best we can. We thank you SO MUCH for your understanding & patience. We sure can use a lil’ bit of it right now.

XOXO
Team TFC

PS We bought Pearl a weighted vest to help soothe her anxiety. She isn’t a fan of the activities but would rather come in to hang out than stay home by herself all day.

Float Ambassador Friday - Blog highlight ✨️🛟⁠

This week we have a special piece written by "Acupuncture for deeper self connection & healing" 😇⁠

"I was fortunate to grow up in a home with a parent who could support my healing any time I fell down, took a bump playing sports or had a (majorly) clumsy moment. My father used physiotherapy for a lot of this work, but unlike most kids on the playground, I could find myself laying on the couch with a few acupuncture needles sticking out of my skin, too.⁠

I always thought acupuncture was magic.⁠

As I got older and began to struggle with TMJ symptoms and migraines, acupuncture was just about the only healing modality that worked for me to find relief. Tiny needles imposed on specific acupressure points all over my body that healed me in ways I could never begin to properly understand.⁠

This past year, I found myself curious about a TFC offering that I had not been aware of before: facial rejuvenation acupuncture for… anti-aging?! Colour me intrigued!⁠

I wasn’t entirely sure what to expect in my first session with Em .element.acupuncture – acupuncture needles around my face to stimulate circulation? I was excited to discover what this magical application of something I used mostly for pain relief might be........" to finish reading the rest of this piece hop on over to our TFC blog page.

Thanks for sharing , we love you! We also love Em and are so happy to have them on our team. 🙏 ⁠

Float Ambassador Friday 🛟🫧 ⁠

This week we have a piece written by 📚️✍️⁠

Curious about floating..... so was Paul until he decided to give our summer float practice a try last summer. 🌞⁠

"Like a lot of people, I wondered about floating for a long time before I finally decided to give it a try. Every time I found myself thinking about trying it, my brain would reliably interrupt with a gem of wisdom along the lines of “it’s probably just like laying around quietly for an hour and you can do that at home right?” (spoiler alert: I would not and have never done that). Eventually my curiosity was finally able to overpower that annoying voice and its sage advice of “maybe don’t ever try anything” and my transition from float-curious to float-obsessed was almost instant."⁠
A lot of people talk about the mental health and relaxation benefits of floating which I can confirm are 100% true but the most surprising thing for me was how amazing it felt from a strictly physical perspective. I’ve been working as a bookseller for 20 years and the thing about books is.. they’re heavy, so after decades of moving thousands of books from one place to another, my back and arms have seen better days. Coming out of the float tank for the first time, I was shocked by how much better I felt after being weightless for an hour. Taking the pressures of gravity away for that time is an incredible gift to the aching body and I can always tell when I’m due for another float based on how badly my body is hurting......" to continue reading Paul's blog pop over to our TFC blog page on the website.

We were thrilled to see Paul apply to become a so fresh in his float journey and are so happy to have him. Give & a follow to see what hes getting up too. 🤗⁠

💥 BLASTING UPDATE 💥

Construction activities are taking place across the street including blasting, piling and drilling. Before a blast is triggered, three short t***s on a loud horn occurs to let us know it’s coming. After the blast, there is one final horn signalling the blasting is over.

There is no schedule for these activities however the construction team can only operate during daylight hours.

Additionally, there is no danger but this can be unsettling if you are not expecting it. We apologize that we’re unable to provide any more specific information - I promise you, we’ve been trying to gather some!

We thank you for your patience and support during this time. This is so truly out of our hands and frustrating to deal with; we hope that these next few months zoom by smoothly.

Lots of love.

Your pal Lindsay & the TFC Team 💕💕
