Sage Float Spa

Capitola's premier float spa with full spectrum infrared sauna, cold plunge, massage & acupuncture. What is floating? Why float?

Float therapy is a powerful tool for wellness, relaxation, pain relief and a better night's sleep. As with any therapy, the benefits are enhanced with regular use. Stress, tension and pain did not form overnight will take time to experience the greatest relief—luckily, floating is a relaxing, fun,and effortless to achieve amazing, life-bettering results. Though flotation is an effortless therapy,

the body and mind actually learn how to relax into the float with each session and we encourage guests to return to floating more than once and to receive sessions on a regular basis to maintain and experience all of the incredible benefits. Floating in a super saturated solution of Epsom salt and water frees you from the sensation of gravity, temperature, touch, sight and sound. This environment conserves and redirects vast amounts of physical and mental energy and will leave you with a euphoric afterglow that can last for days. Being weightless in the tank decompresses the spine and induces a state of ultra-deep relaxation that will lower cortisol and melt away the tension stored in muscles. Floating is extremely effective at calming the mind, which greatly accelerates our body’s ability to heal itself from the rigors of modern life, such as stress, lack of sleep, intense workouts, jet lag, and more.

Two years without Ryan today, 3/31.

I wish someone would’ve told me how horrible it would be so I could’ve been prepared. If you told me two years later I would feel WORSE...No way!

Before he died, his mom told me that without him, she’d never be happy again another day in her life. I didn’t think that would happen to me. But let me tell you, I can’t say I’ve experienced much happiness the last two years.

What you realize is not only do they die, but you die too. The old version of yourself who was unaware of this nightmare is gone & what you’re left with is a shell of who you used to be. We all know how impermanent life is, but once you’ve seen it like this, you can’t unsee it. So then you end up crying not only because you lost them, but because you lost yourself.

I try not to let my mind go back to the sequence of events that led to his death. Maybe everything happened exactly as it was supposed to. That doesn’t make it easier or less painful, & it certainly doesn’t stop me from wishing things were different.

He died. And then life kept going, even though mine didn’t. That’s really what it’s like.

This whole experience has taken me into the deepest, darkest hole that makes life seem insignificant in so many ways. When I found out I had cancer & had to get a nephrectomy, everyone kept telling me how good my attitude was & how well I was taking it all. Well, that’s because having cancer isn’t the worst thing that’s happened to me. Turns out there’s much worse.

So as I cross into year three, it’s different than I thought it would be. It’s just as awful as the beginning, but now I truly realize how long forever is.

People say time fixes grief. It has not for me. Not yet. Instead of feeling better because time is passing, it gets further & further away from when he was alive. I know the expectation is that I should have moved on, that I should be better by now. Well, I have not moved on and I dont feel better & I don’t know when I will.

I still think about the things that could’ve been & all the choices we didn’t get to make. So Ryan, wherever you are, I miss you so much! Two years hasn’t changed a thing between us.

Sage turns NINE today, October 15th!

Surprisingly, the business has been mostly ups, and everything has miraculously worked out pretty well. It is life that brings the real ups and downs.

Managing a big crew (30 deep) has its challenges, but I’ve learned a lot along the way. I have an incredible team of the BEST people who put in so much effort and show up every single day.

Nine years later, I’m genuinely proud of how far we’ve come. That is not something I say easily.

Sage exists to give people in this community a place to slow down and take care of themselves, and I think we are doing a pretty good job!

To date, we have served 29,620 clients and completed over 76,300 appointments.

Thank you so very much to everyone who continues to come to Sage again and again, and tell all their friends. You have helped this place (and me) grow into what it is today.

Question: should we bring back the Sage parking lot party for year 10?

Today is International Overdose Awareness Day. Today matters to me because overdose & addiction have deeply affected my life & changed me forever & I’m not even an addict!

It also happens to be 1.5 years since Ryan died of a fentanyl overdose.

This day exists to raise awareness about the impact of overdose, to remember those lost to overdose, & to reduce the stigma around drug-related deaths.

I heard the following at a group for families of addicts, & it’s something I’ve thought about often since: the addict makes one mistake, the decision to use. After that, their ability to make decisions is gone.

Some think that people who die from drugs deserve it because they couldn’t stop, but the reality is it isn’t about trying harder. No one would tell the family of someone with cancer that if they had just tried harder they could have survived. Some people recover & some don’t, & nobody knows why.

Many have commented that his death must have been expected since drugs were involved, that I should have been prepared somehow, or that he deserved it because using drugs was his choice.

I understand that logic in some circumstances, but not everyone who struggles with addiction looks like the stereotype. Like Ryan, many high functioning addicts create the illusion that everything is fine. They seem healthy & stable, with jobs & money. When those people overdose, it’s shocking because you weren’t prepared.

It never occurred to me that Ryan would die from an overdose. After dating him since 2017 & living with him since 2021, I didn’t know he had ever used opiates. We don’t know when/why he started, and we likely never will.

Having someone die because of a disease society says they could have controlled and that is self-inflicted, is confusing. It adds a complicated layer to grief & processing.

So, on International Overdose Awareness Day, I share this to remember Ryan & remind us that overdose is a public health crisis that deserves awareness. It can happen to anyone because addiction is a disease that does not discriminate.

For anyone living with this, & that number of people is huge, whether your addict is alive or gone, I see you. & I feel your pain. Pic:

Today marks one year since Ryan died. Here is a memory I'd like to share.

When we moved into our house in spring '22, the backyard was full of lilies. The previous owners planted them, & I loved them bc my mom’s name was Lily.

In spring '23, my mom died unexpectedly. At the same time, Ryan was building a deck right where the lilies grew, & they'd be covered. I told him I was sad I wouldn’t see them bloom again.

A few days later, he led me to the side yard. “Come here,” he said. Every lily was carefully spaced in the planter box outside our bathroom window.

“Now you can still see them,” he said, smiling.

I stood there, stunned by how thoughtful he was. He always had a solution for everything.

“Wow. Thank you,” I said, reaching for his arm. He hugged me. “You’re welcome.”

I have countless memories of him, but the lilies stand out. Every time I look out the window in the bathroom he remodeled, or walk to the side yard to the sheds he built, I see them.

My thoughts about our relationship are complex. There’s so much he kept from me, things I don’t understand, & I'll never be able to ask him about any of it. His addiction makes it hard to untangle what we had. But when I see the lilies, I don’t think about that. I think about the person who moved them, who made sure I wouldn’t lose them. That was the real Ryan. Not who he was when he was struggling at the end.

People say time makes grief easier, but that hasn’t been my experience. I’m just emerging from the fog. It feels like a lifetime & no time at all. I tell myself I should feel better, but I don’t. Yes, the shock is gone, replaced by the finality of never seeing him again & the sadness of what I’ve learned about his final weeks.

Sometimes I want to text him, or I see a truck like his & I think it’s him. Then I remember.

Now that it’s spring, the lilies are blooming again. What once reminded me of my mom now reminds me of him & it feels like a cruel joke.

I've heard year two is the hardest, when reality fully sets in. I don’t know if that will be true for me, but I’m waiting to find out. And as I do, I’ll look at my lilies & remember the best parts of him.

❄️ Boost your mood with cold therapy.

Cold plunges trigger the release of endorphins, the body’s natural “feel-good” chemicals that elevate mood and reduce stress. A 2014 study in Medical Hypotheses also found that cold exposure activates the parasympathetic nervous system, promoting calmness and resilience.

Regular cold therapy has even been explored as a complementary approach for managing anxiety and depression by improving overall mental clarity and emotional stability.

Feel the power of the cold to reset your mind and body.

🛌 Sleep better with massage therapy.

Massage promotes deeper, more restorative sleep by reducing tension and activating the parasympathetic nervous system. This process lowers cortisol levels while boosting serotonin, a precursor to melatonin—the hormone responsible for regulating sleep cycles.

Research published in Sleep Science Reviews (2015) highlights that individuals receiving regular massage therapy report improved sleep quality and fewer disruptions. Whether you struggle with insomnia or simply want to feel more rested, massage can be an effective solution.

🔥 Soothe sore muscles with infrared sauna therapy.

Infrared saunas promote muscle recovery by increasing blood flow, delivering oxygen to tissues, and easing inflammation. Unlike traditional saunas, infrared heat penetrates deeper into muscle layers, enhancing cellular repair.

A 2017 study in Annals of Clinical Research found that regular sauna use reduces delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) and improves recovery time after physical exertion. Saunas also support flexibility and range of motion, making them an excellent tool for athletes or anyone experiencing stiffness.

Discover how heat therapy can help you feel and move better.

💧 A natural approach to easing depression.

Float therapy offers a powerful, drug-free method to support mental health. By eliminating external stimuli, floating allows your mind to enter a deeply relaxed state, similar to meditation. This helps calm the nervous system and reduce the hyperactivity associated with depression.

Research in BMC Complementary Medicine and Therapies (2021) found that regular float sessions significantly reduced symptoms of depression and improved emotional balance. The weightlessness of floating also alleviates physical tension, promoting a sense of overall well-being.

Experience how floating can help restore balance and peace.
