Today we had our couples float at Eclipse! This adorable micro-spa is tucked in an inconspicuous building in Claremont. When you open the door you literally step into what feels like another dimension. The waiting room is very inviting and decorated with an upscale-meets-eclectic vibe. The man of the husband-wife duo owners was very nice and informative. The young guy working in the shop would say "welcome back" as patrons emerged from the room. I think that sentiment alone is telling of the experience. Floating is awkward in the first few minutes. Your body isn't use to it so it's like the "uhhh what do I do with my hands" type of feeling. The pod is closed while you float in an epsom salt bath that was 92 degrees. The ambiance is customer-choice with buttons in the pod that control colored lights, darkness and another that controls music or silence. We chose black darkness with beautiful music. My brain was hither and yon as it always is- but I was so relaxed. Jen and I floated away from one another but sometimes our bodies converged. I finished out the last however long with my hand on her hip, although I was worried about sinking the floater. We emerged from the float and took a shower in their European style shower section of the room and Jen raves about the shampoo and conditioner. My legs feel, for once, at ease. My back doesn't hurt. My feet aren't a constant aching presence. I'm sincerely looking forward to how I sleep tonight. Jen and I are so relaxed we decided to get into bed early and just watch Disney+ with our littlest girl. Maybe I'm imagining it.. but my anxiety is so minimal that I don't even care about getting chores done on this Sunday. My biggest chore day. Yet- I'm still so grateful. read more
