We understand that life is crazy!

Please arrive at least 15 minutes early* if this is a First Float Session and you haven’t filled out the waivers necessary. There is “paperwork” for each brand new session at Sonder but once you have filled it out, you are done!

If this is not your first time and/or you completed the waivers ahead of time, then arriving 5 to 10 minutes early* is best just so you are able to take a few minutes to wind down before your session begins. You can use the restroom, read, do some deep breathing, recite a mantra, or simply close your eyes. All members may use the lounge before and after their sessions.

Entering your float room in a relaxed state will maximize your float experience. After your 60 minutes of bliss, it can be jolting to jump right back into the chaos of your day. After exiting your private float room, take time to soak in the experience that you just had: journal, ponder any thoughts that may have come up during your session, or simply bask in the amazing post-float afterglow.

*If you are late, that time will be deducted from your float session.

We have allotted shower time after enjoying your full 60 minutes in the float tank. We expect you will emerge 10 to 15 minutes after your session has ended. We have mirrors, blow dryers*, hair, and beauty products located outside the float rooms so you can finish getting ready outside. This allows us to reset the rooms for the next float sessions.

If you are unable to exit the float room in a timely manner and we cannot reset the room for the next client, we will have to charge you for the next float.

*Please provide your own hairbrush/comb

We recommend having a light meal or snack a few hours before the float so you won’t be interrupted by a grumbling stomach or won’t be needing to use the bathroom in the middle of your session. Also, avoid caffeine a few hours prior to entering the pod.

Nothing! All you need to bring is yourself (though you may want to bring a water bottle to stay hydrated)! You can bring a swimsuit; however, most prefer to float in the nude as material on the body stimulates the senses. You are in your own private room with a private shower and we provide everything you need for your float: towels, earplugs, body wash, shampoo, and conditioner. If you need a tampon or an individual make-up wipe just ask!

For guests enjoying multiple services, we will have a robe, slippers, and tote for you to wear in between your services so you won’t have to get dressed to get undressed again.

People with claustrophobia consistently report no problems with floating. Our staff does a very thorough walkthrough with clients: feel free to let them know if you have any concerns or more questions.

You can float with lights on or off, and music on or off – buttons for these are right by your side. You can also simply keep the pod/door open should you feel the need, and can get out anytime.

A lot of people who believe they are claustrophobic feel very strongly about not being able to float in the float pod (versus the float room); however, 85% of diagnostically claustrophobic clients feel more comfortable in the womb-like pod because it is not as expansive or “limitless” as the room.

It’s totally safe, happens all the time, and will likely be one of the best naps of your life! You won’t miss anything since your body is soaking up all those physical benefits while you rest. Also, we won’t forget about you! A woman’s voice comes on to let you know when your float session is over and when the water starts moving, you definitely know it is over. Studies have proven that one hour of sleep in a float tank is worth four hours of sleep outside of one!

Yep. Just use the same protocol you’d use for a swimming pool, if you are comfortable with your flow. If you are not comfortable, we completely understand and we will reschedule your float for another day. It happens to the best of us.

Yes: it’s amazing! Pregnancy is probably the craziest, most stressful period of a person’s life. Pregnant women have used floating to relieve the stress on their bodies for decades. If you’re in your first trimester or have any concerns, please consult with your doctor before booking a float. Let your doctor know that the water temperature is around your outside body temperature, so never above 95°F.

don’t float while under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

don’t float if you have recently dyed your hair: schedule your session when your hair color has set (typically one week after your coloring)

don’t float if you have any large open cuts or sores (the Epsom salt will burn it)!

don’t float if you have a cold or the flu, incontinence, flatulence or hemorrhoids, any infectious diseases, infected skin rashes, are seizure prone or are suicidal.

don’t float if you are under 16 years of age without a guardian present to sign the waiver

don’t float if you are postnatal (if you are uncertain, always consult your physician).

If you have scheduled an appointment and need to cancel with us, please let us know that you are cancelling due to illness.

If you feel like you cannot physically get in or out of the tanks, you may ask for assistance. We meet ADA requirements; however, the nature of the water and tank design can make it difficult to get in and out.
