Relaxation

All of our relaxation therapies assist you to detoxify and 'discharge' stress from the mind and body.

Nurturing yourself creates balance and wellbeing. By proactively giving yourself ‘down time’ for Deep Relaxation you create and maintain balance, which minimises your body forcing you into another form of ‘down time’ – illness, AND you get to enjoy life more fully. Deep relaxation recharges your energy levels, increases your stamina and resilience to stress, improves your ability to be more focused, and thereby facilitate you to work so much more efficiently and effectively.

In this day and age we are constantly bombarded with excessive stimulation, which accumulates in the body as stress, which in turn builds toxicity. Stress undermines the immune system, weakening our ability to fight disease and can cause muscle tension, migraine headaches, insomnia, depression, ulcers, and many other forms of dis-ease. In fact stress, be it mental, emotional or physical, is the pre-cursor to all disease. Stress also impacts on our ability to function efficiently and more importantly healthily or happily. Our 21st century environment also sees us absorbing toxins through our airways, skin, and digestive system.




Floatation

Relax... Refresh... Rejuvenate...

Imagine feeling weightless...
Cradled in warmth with no distractions…
Floating effortlessly upon a skin temperature solution of water & Epsom salts...

Nerve endings covering your body’s surface no longer perceive any sense of separation between your skin & the silky mineral solution which surrounds you…

You are soothed & peaceful. Total calm... Bliss!

Free from the strains of gravity & external stimuli, you can easily reach a profound state of tranquility in our floatation tank.
Take some pure, uninterrupted relaxation time out for yourself floating, to restore and maintain balance.

What is floatation and how does it work?

Flotation/floating/floatation therapy is a technique used to enter into the deepest states of relaxation quickly, effectively and consistently and is based on a revolutionary scientific approach to deep relaxation called R.E.S.T. (Restricted Environmental Stimulation Technique/Therapy). R.E.S.T. involves floating, on a 30cm deep skin temperature solution (34.5 degrees C), of water and 30% Epsom Salts in a Floatation Tank. The float tank is designed to screen out external stimulation (light, sound, gravity, etc and to maintain a neutral temperature around the body).

Scientists estimate that up to 90% of the brain's normal workload is caused by the effects of routine environmental stimulation - the combined effects of gravity, temperature, touch, light and sound on the nervous system, muscles and sense organs of the body. When the float tank screens out these external physical stimuli, a pure state of "sensory" relaxation is created. Under these unique conditions your body has a chance to restore its natural powers of self regulation, while you simply lie back and enjoy a blissfully peaceful and dream-like meditative state.

Benefits of Floating

Traditional Steam Sauna

You will get a completely different sauna experience at our studio than at a gym…

Just relax, unwind and feel completely comfortable unclad. (Clothing is not recommended during sauna, as it can trap excessive heat against the skin and inhibit your body's ability to perspire freely. Picture below is for web suitable viewing!)

Enjoy complete privacy with no disturbances at our beautiful studio, with its pristine amenities. The refreshing smell of the Western Red Cedar and your choice of aromatherapy oils is just a small part of what makes a sauna at our studio so special... the ‘power shower’ and all the other trimmings make it such a beautiful treat…
