    Recently I came across an advertisement for float therapy at Serenus here in Bloomington. I'm a…read morevery skeptical person and let the manager and owner know. They both encouraged me to do some research and to try it before I made my final judgement. I did some follow up research and it turns out that the origins of float therapy have been around for about 40-50 years. I've had a lot of stress so far this year so I decided to just give it a try. There is actual scientific research that has been done on this therapy. I will let you do your own research in that area so you can make up your mind about the potential benefits of this therapy. The following is my account of my experience. I arrived and was warmly greeted by the manager(Derrick) and the owner(Joseph). They quickly got me checked in and then the manager gave me a quick tour of the facility. The atmosphere is warm and inviting and definitely puts off a relaxing vibe. Once my tour was over, he showed me to the room where I would be floating and gave me what I considered to be a very thorough orientation on what to do, how to do it, how everything worked, and even included a warning on how to wipe my hair at the end of the session and being careful on getting out(you'll be a little slippery afterwards-more on that later). Like I said, a very thorough orientation. After my orientation, he started the music, flipped the sign on the door to indicate that the room was occupied and left me to it. I locked the door to the very private room, reviewed my surroundings and then started on the routine that he had laid out for me. When I first set up my appointment I was worried that 60 minutes in this pod, alone with my thoughts, would be boring and I'd wind up ending early. I was definitely wrong. I wondered a couple of times during the session how long I had been in there. But before I knew it the light in the pod had kicked on and the music started back up indicating that my session was up. I remembered previous instructions to wipe my hair back after I was done to ensure I didn't get any salt in my eyes, carefully exited, and showered. Be careful when you exit. The salt makes you extremely slippery. The shower is right next to the pod though so you can quickly remedy this. The salt washes off easily with the bodywash and shampoos so no worries there. After my shower, I checked the clock on my phone because I was just sure that I hadn't been in that pod for a whole 60 minutes. But sure enough, I had. Wow. Just wow. Overall, my experience was very positive, from interacting with the owner via facebook beforehand, to checking in, the float, and relaxing after. The only thing that wasn't recommended to me that I honestly should have thought of myself was to bring a comb for afterwards. I left feeling relaxed but energized. I definitely recommend you do some research about floating and then try it out for yourself. The price tag can be a little bit of a sticker shock but there are ways to reduce your cost if you decide to do it regularly and I think they have a special for 1st time floaters. I can be a bit of tightwad but i enjoyed the experience enough to tell you that I will definitely be back, next time with a comb and a voice recorder. Advice: don't set to many expectations before your 1st float, just enjoy it for whatever it turns out to be for you. Thanks again to the owner and the manager for making this a great experience and encouraging me to give it a shot. I wrote a much more detailed review about my whole experience but it was apparently too long for yelp. If you'd like to read my full review, visit their page on facebook.

    I woke up at 6:00 am to get downtown for a 7:00 am appointment. Instructions said to knock on the…read moredoor at my scheduled time. I waited in my car until 6:59 and got out to shuffle some things and walk to the door to knock. Dr. Kiehlur walks up and opens the door. "Do you have a phone on you?" he says with no greeting. "Yeah," I say. "What time does it say it is on that phone?" I pull it out and see that it's still 6:59, and I tell him as much. "And what time did we ask you to be here? At 6:59 or 7:00?" By this point obviously I'm so confused that I can't really process the choices this man has made to introduce himself to me. He could have simply said "Be with you in a minute" but chose rather to, I don't know, try to make me look like a moron instead? So I asked him, "Why are you talking to me like I'm a child?" He raises his voice and says, "We do things very exact here and..." Note that by the time he's saying this, it's easily 7:00. "...You know what? Fine. I'll just cancel your appointment." "Uh, I was 30 seconds early. What the f*ck is wrong with you? I've never been yelled at for being early to a doctor's office, definitely not 30 seconds early alone." Yes, I probably elevated things with the F bomb, but I'm a stickler for truth in storytelling. And this was the most bewildering exchange I've had in years. Maybe ever. The doctor shouted. "It's f*cking COVID dude! I've got three people back here!" He was not wearing a mask, by the way. "How is me getting here 30 seconds later going to have an impact on COVID safety?" "WE DO THINGS VERY EXACT HERE!" I backed away and said, "Learn some f*cking bedside manner." "Get f*cked, b*tch," shouted the good doctor as I got into my car. Avoid this place like the plague.

    demands money upfront and does nothing but bully and berate innocent people in front of others. I…read moregot nothing out of these visits. Walked on eggshells and stressed out when I needed help getting better. Don't buy in to it. You've been warned!
