What is Floatation Therapy

Floating involves relaxing for 90 minutes in your own personal Float Suite.

1000 lbs. of Epsom salt are dissolved into water creating a solution that allows your body to float effortlessly.

The air and water inside the cabin are warmed to meet the temperature of your skin.

Your suite is completely soundproof and gives you the option to turn the lights off.

This detachment from external senses allows you to completely disconnect with the outside world.

The Epsom salt contains essential minerals that leave you feeling deeply relaxed and vibrant as the tension in your body melts away.

The Enso Difference





History of Floating

Glen and Lee Perry form Samadhi Tank Company in Northern California and with the guidance of John C. Lilly create the first commercial grade floatation tank. Commercial floating is born.


1980 - Here Comes Hollywood


The Ken Russell film Altered States was released shedding a not so accurate light on floatation tanks, and probably scaring a few people off in the process.

As floating starts to gain in popularity it grabs the attention of notable scientists Peter Suedfeld and Roderick Borrie who coin the term REST (Restricted Environmental Stimulation Therapy) and began extensive research around float therapy.
