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.

“ First time in the float… unlike anything I have ever experienced. It was relaxing, spiritual, healing, exciting, thought-provoking all at once. I felt free and untethered to allow myself to bounce from thought to thought and feeling to feeling. It was both short and lengthy. I feel more capable of handling tomorrow. This was a reset of my capacity and that was I thought nearly impossible. I feel gratitude for this opportunity and this place. Beautifully clean and peaceful. The perfect environment for a special experience.”

“Your journey is yours. It won’t follow a straight line, rather, it will take the twist and turns that are necessary to get you to now and wherever you go in the future. Don’t fight it, keep your mind open and your heart light and you’ll find that, no matter where you are, It was always the journey that mattered more than the destination.”

Life has a way of testing our balance, and sometimes it takes a moment of stillness to rediscover our strength.

Out of every challenge, something beautiful has emerged: connection, growth, resilience, and a deeper appreciation for this incredible community.

At First State Floats, we’ve always believed self-care should be accessible to everyone. For seven years, our mission has been simple; to help our community find balance, relief, and stillness in the midst of life’s constant motion.

Last weekend, we quietly put that belief into action. Our Passport to Peace Membership and Float sessions now cost less.

As we continue to grow we’re rebalancing to keep wellness within reach. The world around us has shifted and so have we: thoughtfully, intentionally, and with gratitude for the community that supports us.

Because self-care isn’t a luxury, it’s essential.

When we take care of ourselves, we show up more grounded, patient, and kind. We become better, parents partners, leaders, friends, and neighbors. This is how we stay present for the people who need us, our families, our friends, ourselves.

We are more than a Float Center, we’re a community built on stillness, growth, and gratitude. This is what seven years of trust has allowed us to do. You have built this with us and now we’re giving back.

Thank you for continuing to float through life with us.

Our long time friend and beautiful soul, Lauren continues to bless the Studio with a monthly EFT Tapping Circle & Sound Bath Meditation. 🩵

Now, if we’re being honest... even we thought tapping sounded a little too “woo” at first. (And we’re all about the woo! 😂) But after joining Lauren’s workshop, something clicked, and now tapping has become a daily practice.

EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) is more than just a simple practice, it’s a powerful tool to regulate emotions, reduce stress, and reconnect with yourself. Pair that with Lauren’s Sound Bath Meditation, and you’ve got a recipe for deep release and a grounding presence.

Recently, Lauren has been expanding her mission to help the community far and wide - offering workshops, EFT Certification, and guiding individuals to break through barriers that hold them back. Her work is truly making waves!

At First State Floats, we believe self-care looks different for everyone: sometimes it’s a massage, sometimes it’s a quiet float, sometimes it’s a walk in nature... and sometimes it’s tapping your way back to peace.

Come join us for Laurens next workshop Monday September 29th, your nervous system will thank you!
