In a world of distractions, confusion and chaos, sometimes the cheese must stand alone. With a high stress job and anxiety, friends had told me about floating for some time - I knew it affected people deeply, and I love new experiences. I finally decided to try it for the first time.

Stepping into the space, a curtain closes out the traffic and noise from outside. The facilities are pristine, essential oils fill the space with calm fragrance, and their staff knowledgeable and welcoming. They answered a few general questions I had and explained to me to process.

There are two rooms for floats, with a "dream pod" in each. They look like what I dreamed I'd see in the future as a kid, with blue light filling the inside. There are showers with pre and post-float cleansers, a hair dryer, robes, towels, plugs, and other accessories to make the float comfortable. The only warning is to be careful with getting water into your eyes or mouth - it's painful.

A much needed escape from the world outside, and twenty minutes from home. I hope floating becomes something companies do together, families, partners - the value of reflection is truly priceless.

This space is also shared with holistic health practitioners, if you're seeking other services.

Thank you for creating this space and making Hastings Sunrise grow as a neighbourhood. Looking forward to exploring the magic of floating again.
