Challenging mornings

22/10/2025

Struggling to switch off at night? Floating can help.

Inside a Hydro-Ease float cabin, your body absorbs magnesium from the Epsom-salt-rich water — easing muscle tension, calming the nervous system, and helping your brain slow down. The result? Deeper, more restorative sleep.

Float therapy isn’t just relaxation — it’s recovery for body and mind.
Discover how one hour of stillness can reset your whole night’s rest.

When you float, your body is suspended in warm, magnesium-rich water — removing nearly all pressure from your muscles and joints. Within minutes, your brain begins to slow down, switching from “fight or flight” to “rest and restore”. This deep relaxation helps lower stress hormones, ease muscle tension, and improve sleep quality.

At Hydro-Ease, our private float cabins are designed for comfort and calm — giving you space to recharge both body and mind.

Experience the science of stillness.

Hey everyone, I thought I'd re-introduce myself. I am Katie, the Founder of Positivity Only, a mental health signposting platform where I share my personal journey and signpost others to support. I thought I'd break my journey down into a rough timeline to show you that healing isn't linear, it is an incredibly tough journey but it is worth it 💜

2011/2012- I was diagnosed with severe anxiety disorder and depression in Year 8, I was barely eating at all, I wasn't sleeping properly and I couldn't see a way forward.

2015- I was public speaking, campaigning, volunteering, fundraising, attending counselling and finding ways to cope with anxiety.

2017- I started Positivity Only and it has been an incredible journey ❤️

2018- struggling to find a reason to get out of bed each day, in the depths of depression,suffering panic attacks, experiencing binge eating, self harm and suicidal ideation.

2019- I experienced an overdose just 10 days before my first A-Level, but somehow managed to push on and started my undergraduate degree in English and Politics at Queen's University in September 2019.

2020- I met my amazing husband Jordan, but also experienced a mental breakdown towards the end of 2020 and had to take some time off work. I was experiencing regular panic attacks every day, I even found going to the Starbucks drive through impossible most days.

2021- I went for life changing therapy with Vivian McKinnon at Hydro-Ease 💙

2022- I graduated with a First Class Honours in English and Politics, started my first job working in mental health, got engaged to Jordan, fell and broke my ankle in 3 major places and stayed in hospital for 8 days.

2023- I lost my best friend, my Grampa Tom 😢, but managed to come off a high dose of propranolol and only take propranolol as and when needed which is still the case 😊

2024- I graduated with a Master's in Psychological Science, bought my first home 🏡 with Jordan, and I came off anti-depressants.

2025- I got married 4.5 stone lighter, and I'm applying again for the Doctorate in Clinical Psychology at Queen's University, chasing my dream of becoming a Clinical Psychologist. I am also currently waiting for an ADHD assessment.

Life is full of ups and downs, in 2018, I couldn't see a light at the end of the tunnel, I didn't want to go on and I just wanted the pain to end. Today, things aren't easy, but I am dedicated to helping others through sharing my personal story. Please keep going, don't give up on yourself! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

💧 Let’s Talk About Floatation Therapy

Floatation therapy is more than just relaxation — it’s a scientifically backed way to help your body and mind recover from daily stress.

When you float in one of our spacious float cabins, your body becomes completely weightless. This allows your muscles to release tension while your mind drifts into a deeply restorative state — similar to meditation but without effort.

✨ Regular floatation can help:
• Reduce stress and anxiety
• Improve sleep quality
• Boost creativity and focus
• Support recovery after exercise or injury

It’s your time to disconnect, reset, and recharge — naturally.

📍 Discover the science behind floating at Hydro-Ease, Northern Ireland’s only dedicated floatation therapy centre.
