Float Therapy
Rest, Reflect, Regroup & Recover
Our float pods contains 550kg of Epsom-salt, saturated into 600 litres of water, about 10 inches deep. This creates highly buoyant water that creates an experience similar to that of floating in the Dead Sea, you float effortlessly on the surface of the water feeling completely weightless!
Floating regularly helps you manage stress better, boosts your fitness, relieves pain and improves your health. There are so many benefits to floating that you can see after just one float, but most benefits are seen after routine practice.
With flexible terms plus special perks, our multi-float packages give you maximum benefits at the best value! We also have gift cards.
What Is Float Therapy?
Floatation is a powerful tool to unplug from a hectic & overstimulated world in order to achieve true mental & physical wellbeing.
Float therapy involves the use of a float tank which can be thought of as being like a giant private spa bath, which contains a shallow Epsom-salt water solution (over 500kg Magnesium Sulphate).
The water is heated to match the temperature of your skin and due to the density of the water, upon lying down, your body is able to float effortlessly, freed from gravity and tension and allowing your entire body to relax. Within minutes you experience the sensation of floating on a cloud, and the ability to perceive your physical body dissipates into the surrounding water.
Floating will bring you to a state of complete relaxation. Stress from your everyday life begins to fade as you start to let go.
With a wide range of proven, highly documented mental and physical benefits, the experience of flotation aims to remove sources of discomfort and stress by freeing your mind and body from all external stimulation. Your mind and body truly rest, your senses are revived and your mind is refreshed. Profound relaxation, pain relief, better sleep and an improved feeling of well being follow.
Infrared Sauna Therapy
Heat up for better health
A soothing respite from a hectic lifestyle that detoxifies the inner body and purifies and tightens your skin.
Our Sunlighten 3-in-1™ mPulse full spectrum Infrared Sauna provides a more comfortable experience that relieves a wider range of health concerns than traditional saunas.
Purify. Restore. Energise.
Experience the infrared difference at The Float Space. While a traditional sauna heats the external air around you, an infrared sauna penetrates further into the skin, thereby helps push out sweat and toxins from deeper inside the body and creates healing on a molecular level.
Our Sunlighten 3-in-1™ mPulse full spectrum Infrared Sauna provides a more comfortable experience that relieves a wider range of health concerns than traditional saunas. Visit our centre to experience the benefits of infrared therapy in a private and relaxing environment! Soothe aches and pains, eliminate toxins and de-stress from everyday life.
Our Sunlighten 3-in-1™ mPulse Infrared Sauna
is the only sauna on the market to provide all 3 infrared
wavelengths, including near, mid and far infrared,
which are effective at producing different health benefits.
Infrared saunas are 7 to 10 times more effective than traditional saunas by producing sweat composed of 20% toxins versus only 3% produced by a traditional sauna during the detoxifying process.
Infrared Sauna Benefits
We are all exposed to hundreds of chemicals a day in the air we breathe, the items we touch, what we apply to our skin, and what we eat and drink. Not all of these chemicals can be processed adequately by the body, nor can an excessive of them be handled at one time. Some are even poisonous or damaging to critical parts of the very detox systems (such as liver enzymes) that are supposed to detoxify them.
By incorporating an infrared sauna session into your weekly routine you can help your body rid itself of these devastating toxins, all while deeply relaxing for 40 minutes.
Pain Relief
Unlike traditional saunas, infrared heat warms the body at the cellular level, increasing circulation.
Stress Relief
Infrared light boosts circulation and increases the production of endorphins in the body, similar to a runner’s high.
Quicker Recovery
Increased blood circulation generates more white blood cells for quicker muscle and injury recovery.
Improved Cardio Health
A cardiovascular workout equivalent to an hour of vigorous exercise, without the muscle fatigue or pain.
Weight Loss
Burn up to 600 calories in a single session and expel bodily toxins.
Detoxification
Get rid of toxins and chemicals stored in fat cells through excessive sweating.
Skin Purification
Increased blood circulation and the elimination of toxins lead to softer, clearer skin.
Improved Sleep
Infrared is a gentle, soothing and therapeutic heat that promotes relaxation and improved sleep.

Amethyst Crystals
Amethyst crystal primarily is used in the BioMat because it converts heat energy into far infrared light very efficiently, due its crystalline structure. It has also long been used in the spiritual healing field, across different cultures, known as Medicine Stone, and referred to as ‘nature’s superconductor’, as it amplifies light waves and ions.
Amethyst soothes the immune system, aids in transmission of neural signals, boosts hormone production, strengthens organs, increases circulation, boosts immune system, cellular renewal & increases metabolism.
Far Infrared Rays (FIR)
Far Infrared Rays (FIR) provide warmth and relaxation similar to the energy that radiates from the sun. When FIR penetrates through the skin to the subcutaneous tissues, it transforms from light energy into heat energy.The BioMat’s FIR penetrate 6 inches deep, not only benefiting muscles on the surface but all cells and tissues, including blood vessels, lymph glands, and nerves in the deepest part of the body.
FIR waves are the most beneficial light waves; they replicate mitochondrial activity, increase circulation & detoxification.
Negative Ions
Negative ions are particles in the air that have an extra electron. They are significant because bodies can be damaged by oxidative stress (free radicals), but these free electrons neutralise oxidising compounds (antioxidants).
The BioMat has a special function that emits negative ions and transforms positive ions to negative ions within the human body. These ions are energising, alkalising & relaxing, enhancing blood purification & vitality. You may also notice benefits of improved mood & alertness due to increased serotonin levels.
During A BioMat Session
During your BioMat session, you will be fully clothed and lovingly tucked on top of the Biomat in your own private room to enjoy a relaxed state,surrounded by beautiful, soothing music. You may choose to have an eye cover as you relax and absorb powerful yet gentle Far Infrared Rays – energetic, health-supporting frequencies.
After A BioMat Session
Directly after a session, it is important to sit for a few minutes and drink a glass of water while your body sorts through the energetic changes. Over the next few days, you may have more energy or you may also feel a lack of energy. Both are normal. If you feel a lack of energy, it is because your body is cleansing and restoring at deep cellular levels and is using a lot of energy. By drinking plenty of fluids you will assist your body to easily go through the healing process.
