We offer:

Float Therapy, aka sensory deprivation. Floating reduces pain, anxiety, & depression, & supports creativity & meditation.

Massage, including deep tissue & trauma-informed bodywork. Sound Therapy, helps sensitive folks regulate & find balance. Sleep better, gain clarity, and feel physically amazing with our first-time floater recommendation: a float massage combo! Floating is an effortless way to soothe and heal the body. You can perhaps, for the first time in your life, experience total relaxation and deep healing in your own private, peaceful space. Massage therapy is one of the oldest forms of medicine. Aches and pains begone with a massage tailored to your exact needs.

Not sure what to get someone? Give them 90 minutes where no one can bother them. Truly, the ideal gift for anyone tired, stressed, or done with adulting. A float or massage gift card says, “I care about you,” but also, “I didn’t panic-shop this at the last minute.” It’s thoughtful and incredibly easy, the holiday sweet spot!

Give 90 minutes of alone time this Holiday Season and have your loved ones do absolutely nothing in the new year. Buy your gift cards today at https://floatnorthpdx.com/gift-cards/.

"In my experience, the biggest issue people have with sticking to a regular massage schedule isn't knowledge, time, or planning, it is knowing that you are worth it. You need to take care of yourself before you take care of others or you'll get resentful and burn out." - Dana Highfill, Float North Owner

Getting through the holidays can be… a lot. At Float North, we believe in slowing down, softening your edges, and giving your nervous system a moment to exhale.

Here are a few reminders as you move through the season:
✨ Lower the bar, you don’t have to be “on” for everyone.
✨ Build in micro-breaks (book a Float or Massage).
✨ Protect your peace with simple boundaries.
✨ Make space for something you enjoy.

If the holidays feel heavy or overwhelming, know that our doors are open and the tank is warm. Float North is here to support your calm, your rest, and your reset.

Happy Thanksgiving from all of us at Float North! We’re so grateful for our incredible community and for everyone who chooses to float, breathe, and heal with us. We’ll be closed on Thanksgiving Day so our team can enjoy a little gratitude (and gravy) time, but we’ll be open all weekend to help you recover from food comas, family time, and general holiday chaos. Float it off, unwind, and start the season feeling grounded at FloatNorth.com

You know how they say, “Put your oxygen mask on before helping others”? Yeah… they weren’t kidding. You can’t save the world if you’re running on fumes (or caffeine and stress alone). Take the hint from every flight attendant ever, secure your own oxygen first. AKA: book that float, get that massage, and relax again.

Self-care helps you rise, not just get by. Schedule your next session today at FloatNorth.com
Make rest a rhythm, not a reward.

No one needs another candle, scarf, or mug that says “Live, Laugh, Love.” This year, give something that says: “Hey, I care about your mental health and your spine.”

Each 60-minute float is normally $94, but during our Gift Card Extravaganza, the more you gift, the more you save! Buy one float and save, BUT buy a few? You’re suddenly saving $20, $45, even $125+ if you really go for it. It’s like buying peace of mind in bulk, Costco style.

Buying is easy, head to https://floatnorthpdx.com/gift-cards, choose your float gift card, and click “Add Another Gift Card” to stack your savings. Or swing by in person, and we’ll wrap it up all cute and cozy for you.

Our Story

Imagine unpluging from your day in one of the most comfortable environments on earth. You’re temperature is just right, you’re lying down on a bed of salt water, you have control over the lights and music; as you close your eyes you start to feel the day shed from your mind and body. Each float brings you more relaxation and relief.

Float North offers the best massage and floatation therapy in Portland. We tailor each session to your needs and take your goals into account. Are you burnt out from stress? Are you a parent in need of some downtime? Are you an athlete recovering from training or preparing for an event? Are you a creative looking for more flow? Are you looking to improve your meditation practice?

There are so many reasons to combine floatation therapy and bodywork. Come in and experience the results for yourself! We offer Float 101 classes on a weekly basis to introduce you to the float environment and answer any questions you may have.
