    Lovely clean pod.

    Absolutely amazing. The staff were amazing! My first time and they made me feel so comfortable! Parking was great too. Waiting area has a heated foot spa to begin with a cup of tea. Clean, fresh and relaxing rooms. Robe, towel, slippers and high quality body wash, shampoo, conditioner and lotion. What a fantastic experience! Both ladies at the front desk made this experience something everyone should try!

    Located in a 2 story house behind the Whole Bowl. Kudos for a Private parking lot for customers! Dillian was nice and went over what's to expect in the soak baths. But when you first arrive you get to soak your feet in a 100f degree foot bath just inside the doors. It's a community bath for up to 4 people. Sign a waiver and relax until your room is cleaned and ready for you. Drink some decaffeinated tea or water while you wait. Shower before you get in and after you come out to rid of the 1000 lbs of Epsom salt. It was a cool experience and a lovely gift. They even have membership deals available. I left relaxed and hope to try it again. Make sure you get in a meal an hour before your appt so your tummy isn't growling and waking you up. I could also hear sirens faintly go by but the cool silicon ear plugs kept my ears dry.

    Wow! What an experience! I'm not going to lie, I had some fears about float tanks having never experienced it (googled my way to some blogs about claustrophobic panic attacks, yeast infections, stinging skin). My husband surprised me with a self care afternoon in my day off and prepaid for a 90 minute float followed by a 90 minute massage. The process of purchasing and booking so so professional and smooth from start to finish. Plenty of parking in the lot in front when I arrived which was so nice. The woman at the front desk was so kind, professional and personable and made me feel comfortable right away. The foot soak while you wait was wonderful and the tea they gave me was delicious. Everything about the soak was thoroughly explained to me. I got in expecting stinging skin or a reaction and experienced none of that. I also tend to be a claustrophobic person and did not experience that either. I won't say I went into a meditative state but it was relaxing and so nice to have complete quiet and an absence of gravity weighing on me. The massage that followed with Zachary was one of the best I've had. Highly recommend him, he is a bodywork genius. I will definitely be bringing my husband back so we can both float, I think he'd love it. So glad I did this! Incredibly reasonable prices as well compared to other spas.

    For most people the temperature is probably fine; however, I wish the tank was warmer...

    Had an outstanding float that brought me some mental clarity, increased motivation and relaxation…read more The whole place is charming and clean and comfortable. The check in was easy, the guidance covered the bases and things were very private. I was in tank #1 which had room to stand and a lovely shower area. I love that I didn't need to bring anything. They have it all ready for you. I was able to get the silicone ear plugs sealed well enough to keep water out of my ears, but I also used the bottle of ear rinse drops afterwards to make sure no salt dried in my ears canals and then rinsed them out in the shower. My tank ended up feeling a little too cool after being in there for an hour. I noticed it was at 95.3 degrees when I got out. I would asked for it to be a little warmer next time. Don't float if you have a healing wound, open rash, new piercing or tattoo, etc. Salt HURTS! I irritated my inny belly button while showering before getting in the tank and I was in pain as soon as I got in the tank (luckily the irritated skin healed up in a few minutes and stopped hurting, but it really sucked for five minutes). Also, don't rub your eyes while in the tank as the salt will hurt. Use the hand towel and put it on the hook inside the tank. Wipe your face with that if needed during the float Consider removing any medical patches (nicotine, hormonal, etc.) as the adhesive could come off or you could dose the water and lose medicine you need.

    Float On is a Portland treasure! I really don't think anyone does floatation thereapy better. The…read morestaff here are friendly and supportive, the entire space is dedicated to soothing visitors and minimizing stimuli, there is much emphasis on cleanliness, and there are a wide variety of tanks to choose from. If you are looking for a transformative experience, definite give floatation therapy a chance. I was a little anxious at first and found it difficult to just let go, but letting go is what gives you the best return on investment. Float On is one of the places where I am best able to quiet those inner voices, enter into a deep and meditative state, and walk away feeling relaxed and renewed. It's my happy place. All of my loved ones have been warned that if anyone ever asks, "Hey, what do you think Nico would like for his birthday," the answer is always a gift certificate at Float On! I'm not sure if I can give any better recommendation for Float On than this!

    Discover Balance is a wonderful place. I have been going to Stephanie for acupuncture fro a few…read moreyears and I always feel so relaxed and blissed out with her acupuncture. it also helps with whatever physical problem I am having. the staff at Discover Balance is always very friendly and helpful and my appointments are always on time. I like to arrive a few minutes early so I sit for a couple of minutes in the very pleasant waiting room and look at the lovely art and listen to the pleasant music as well as treat myself to a cup of herbal tea. I also attend the Mindfulness Meditation group and that is really great for mental calm and relieving any stress. the other group members are wonderful. Discover Balance gets 5 Stars from me and I am grateful for their kindness and healing abilities. I highly recommend you try one of their offerings.

I know I had blocked chakras after the death of my husband; I felt anxious, depressed, insecure, and emotionally unbalanced. Through weekly treatments, my anxiety and emotions were corrected. She even sent me home with little seeds glued to strategic points I could press when I became overwhelmed. I was so grateful. She also takes insurance, which was a big help for me. Cannot recommend her and her wonderful spa enough.
