First State Floats Your Relaxation Destination

R.E.S.T., Relax, and Find Relief in Near Weightlessness with Floatation Therapy.

Now offering Massage Therapy, Reiki, and Monthly Workshops. Learn More at FirstStateFloats.com Throughout time people have sought the relief provided by mineral rich hot springs by traveling the Earth to float in places like the Dead Sea. Now you don’t have to travel to a far-off place. First State Floats offers you a passport to what has been described as “the most relaxing experience on earth.”

By eliminating all external stimuli, the central nervous system’s workload is reduced by as much as 90%. This reduction draws a person’s energy inward and promotes relaxation (the parasympathetic response). Parasympathetic response is the mechanism by which the body naturally regenerates itself and maintains chemical and metabolic balance. 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, thereby 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.

There’s wisdom in listening to your body. Massage helps you slow down long enough to hear it.

Massage is here when you need it, a pause, a release, a little care for the body you carry every day.

Massage appointments are now available Wednesday-Sunday 🩵

Schedule with Jessica on Fridays & Saturdays, our newest member of the Floats Family. She brings over seven years of experience and specializes in Shiatsu, a deeply grounding, restorative style of bodywork.

If your body’s been asking for a little extra support… we’re here to help you rest, reset, and heal💙

The most important relationship we have is the one that we have with ourselves. It’s often the one we neglect most.

It’s with us in every moment, in our thoughts, our choices, the quiet we often try to outrun. Caught up in the noise of constant doing.

Reconnecting doesn’t require fixing or becoming someone new. Just space to breathe, stillness, and a willingness to simply be.

This year, we invite you to leave behind what no longer serves you, the noise, the weight, expectations that aren’t yours to carry.

Let it go .
Then let go, and float.

Because stillness isn’t escape.
It’s a return 💙

Make it a great day.

It’s more than a mantra.
More than a thought or affirmation.
More than a sign on the wall.

For me, it was how I made it through another day.

A quiet reminder that the total sum of a life is shaped by choices…. small ones, daily ones, often unnoticed. Not grand declarations. Not perfect plans. Just choice.

With the holiday season behind us and a new year marked on the calendar, I took a step back. To reflect. Maybe even ruminate, as one often does. (it’s why we float 😉)

Our lives are the sum total of every decision we’ve ever made. It took me longer than I care to admit for that lesson to truly take root. Which is why, one day, a simple decision was made.

Make it a great day.

Not because the day is easy.
Not because everything is resolved.
Because it’s a choice.

As we welcome the new year, we invite intention over resolution. Action over endless analysis. Purpose over forced positivity.

Sometimes letting go of what no longer serves you holds more power than adding another expectation. This isn’t about motivation or hustle. It’s about one small action. One shift in habit. One choice that brings you closer to alignment with your purpose, with yourself.

At First State Floats, this philosophy is at the heart of all we do and is made possible by the amazing humans who show up every day with heart.

To our team, thank you for holding space with intention, integrity, and compassion. To our community, thank you for trusting us, growing with us, and choosing stillness when the world demands more.

We are deeply grateful for each of you. This space exists because of you.

Here’s to beginning every day as a new year, one small choice at a time.

With gratitude 💙

This space has always been about more than floating.

It’s about what happens before and after, the quiet conversations, the exhale in the chair, the moment someone realizes they don’t have to rush back out into the world just yet.

That’s why we’re grateful to share this beautiful gift from our friend Lovinder Gill. A reminder of the journey from stress to stillness, and a reflection of what happens when someone gives themselves permission to slow down.

Shared moments. Generosity. Meaningful connection. Quite support.

Thank you for supporting our little corner of the world, and this sanctuary we all share. 🩵

Step out of the noise and into the moment. A moment to breathe, a moment just for you. Because sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is slow down.

We believe in a simple concept, rest isn’t something you earn, it’s something you practice.

You don’t need to be overwhelmed, exhausted, or running on fumes to take a break. You’re allowed to pause before your body forces you to.

Because rest is where your body heals, where your thoughts soften, and your heart opens.

Give yourself (and your favorite humans) the Ultimate Relaxation Experience with 20% off our Float & Massage Gift Card!

Float to release, massage to restore, and peace that lasts all season.
