Today feels different. While many are spending time with family, gathering with friends, firing up the grill, or enjoying the first real moments of summer… Memorial Day asks us to pause and remember why we have the freedom to do those things in the first place.

It’s a day to honor the men and women of our armed forces who never made it home. The ones who gave their lives in service to something greater than themselves, and in doing so, helped preserve the freedoms we often move through our day without even thinking about them.

The freedom to slow down.
To sit around a table together.
To hold our children close.
To laugh.
To rest.
To build a life of our own choosing.

There’s something humbling about that when you really let it sink in. We talk often about presence… about stepping out of the noise long enough to reconnect with what truly matters. Today feels like one of those moments. A reminder not to rush past gratitude.

So wherever this day finds you, we hope you take a quiet moment to reflect and remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice for this country and the people in it.

With gratitude today,
and every day 🇺🇸

This is your invitation to step into another reality.

A space where the noise fades, where the weight of the world disappears, and your nervous system finally lets go.

Inside your private oasis, the outside world dissolves into stillness, silence, and peace.

Step inside, leave the chaos behind, and reconnect with yourself.

This isn’t just relaxation… it’s a reset🩵

There’s something deeply sacred about the love of a mother.

Every one of us entered this world the same way… through her strength, her sacrifice, her love. Before you stood on your own two feet, she carried you… her energy, her body, her heart… so you could open your eyes and experience the world.

Most of what a mom does, no one ever sees. And she does it anyway.

A Mother’s love, the first love you ever received. The love that doesn’t forget, never quits, never lets go, even when we do. Your first fan, and your biggest.

We don’t thank them enough. We can’t. But today is a reminder to slow down and see her. Not only today, every day, see her, thank her, hug her, and love her well.

To all the mothers, grandmothers, stepmother’s, mamas to be, and all women who nurture and care for others with the same boundless love… we honor you today.

Happy Mother’s Day, from our family at First State Floats 💙

Last night while meditating, I was struck with this recurring thought.

The art of letting go.

And yes meditation is about quieting the mind… surrendering… being present…. returning to the breath.

…sometimes, in that stillness, inspiration finds us.

For those who know me, I’m a student of history. I often think about the people who crossed mountains, rivers, valleys, and open prairie carrying everything they needed to survive. Every new beginning required deciding what was worth bringing forward….and what was left behind.

I recently read something that gave me pause.

“If you wouldn’t carry it across a mountain, why carry it through life?”

And it hit me.

I have three boxes in a spare bedroom that I haven’t unpacked after six years. Three boxes I’ve carried from one chapter to the next.

And maybe we all have those boxes.

Old thoughts. Old fears. Old burdens. Old versions of ourselves we keep carrying, even when they no longer serve where you are going.

Maybe it’s time to let some go.

Join us as we practice the art of letting go. One breath, one moment, one release at a time.

Come back to yourself.

Is your nervous system stuck on overdrive?

Deadlines. Notifications. The constant pull to do more... it adds up.

Now imagine a practice that helps your body shift out of "fight or flight" and into deep rest. No pharmaceuticals, no invasive treatments... just you, supported in near weightlessness.

Floatation therapy offers exactly that.

Research has shown that floating reduces cortisol (your primary stress hormone), lowers heart rate and blood pressure, all by supporting the body's shift into the parasympathetic (rest & degest) state. The result is often a profound sense of calm, enhanced mental clarity, and overall well-being that extends well beyond the session.

This isn't an escape. It's a return... to balance, to stillness, to yourself.
Step in, lay back, and let go.

There was a moment…. before the doors opened, before the lights were dimmed, before a single guest was welcomed in.

This is what it looked like back in April 2018, blueprints spread out, ladders leaning against unfinished walls, thousands of pounds of Epson salt stacked up, and a whole lot of smiles.

It was that space where passion met purpose, carried forward by a shared belief in what this could become. Belief from the team who helped build it… and in the process, becoming something more, family.

The tanks were full, construction nearly complete, but in so many ways, the work was only just beginning.

I remember the moment we started, pulling the coverings off the windows, letting the light in for the first time… and realizing this was actually happening. Not just an idea anymore, not just a dream. Something real, something we built together.

Eight years later, that same vision is still here. It lives in every float, every moment, every breath our guest takes when they finally slow down and reconnect with themselves.

And we’re just getting started.
