A high concentration of epsom salts are added to the water in the tank to allow your body to naturally float, and additionally, the water is kept at the same temperature as the body. What this does is makes it so you don’t have weight on any pressure points throughout your body, creating a sense of weightlessness, as well as reduces the influence of external sound, sight and touch, allowing you to relax every muscle of your body and get into a more meditative state.
Epsom salts are high in magnesium (a very important and essential mineral that we typically do not get enough of in our diet), which the skin absorbs during the float. Magnesium lowers blood pressure, strengthens bone and teeth, promotes heart health and can relieve symptoms of menopause.

We ask that you please wait to schedule your float if you have:
Research has shown that there are multiple benefits to float therapy:
Check with your Physician before booking your float if you have:
Are the float pods weight restricted?
No, you will be able to float in the pod, expending no physical energy to maintain your position in the water, no matter your weight.
How many times a week can I float?
While it is perfectly safe to float daily, we find that the effects of float therapy can be enjoyed beyond the day of your session. Research has shown that 1-2 times a week provides the most benefits.
How do I prepare for my float?
We recommend avoiding alcohol, caffeine or any stimulants 4-6 hours before your float to ensure nothing interferes with the relaxation process. We recommend having something small to eat 60-90 minutes beforehand so you do not become hungry during your session.
Can I float while menstruating?
Nadi requests that you please reschedule your appointment to a different stage of your cycle.
Should I shower after floating?
Yes! If you do not shower after your float, you will develop a residual layer of salt on your skin from the salt water, which can be uncomfortable.
Will the salt float dehydrate my skin?
No! In fact, your skin will feel silky smooth afterwards, thanks to the epsom salts.
What do I wear in a float?
We recommend wearing nothing at all to assist with the sensory deprivation of the tank. However, you will still experience all the benefits of float therapy if you choose to float in a bathing suit.
Can I float if I am pregnant?
If you have the go ahead from your GP/physician, then float therapy is a wonderful option for expecting mums.
How do you keep the floats clean?
We have staff members that clean the water between every float. Additionally, the water goes through a 15 minute filtering cycle between very float that prepares the float tank for the next floater.
Can I drown from float therapy?
Although drowning is always a possibility in any activity that involves water, it is highly unlikely as your body will remain afloat due to the buoyancy of the water.
Can I do a Salt Float if I can’t swim?
As the water in the float tanks is only 11 inches deep, and the body naturally floats due to the buoyancy of the water, no swimming experience is required in order to float at Nadi.
Who is the float pod not suitable for?
Float therapy at Nadi is not suitable for those who are currently:

Before entering the float tank, we ask that you do the following:
– Please shower before using the salt float
– You are advised to use the earplugs provided. Insert ear plugs before entering the shower as they adhere better when dry.
– Please remove contact lenses
– Seal any small cuts with petroleum jelly
– Do not condition your hair prior to floating
– Wipe your face dry before entering the pod. This helps prevent salt water from getting in your eyes while you float.
When receiving a salt float therapy treatment, you do run the risk of becoming dizzy or nauseous. It is your responsibility to listen to your body. Please prepare by keeping your body hydrated and if you feel yourself becoming unwell you can exit the float tank pod at any time.
If you fall asleep, you will stay afloat due to the buoyancy of the water. Some discomfort may occur if the salt water gets in your eyes. While drowning in a floatation tank is possible, it is extremely unlikely.
When you exit the float tank, be sure to tilt your head back to avoid getting saltwater in your eyes. Please be aware that the floor may be slippery when wet.
After you have finished your float, you will want to shower to rinse off the salt from your body, ears, and hair as well as refresh. Please try to vacate the room within 10 minutes at the end of your treatment, as we have to prepare for the next client. A timer will be set for you to keep you aware of when to exit the room.
The minimum age for a salt float treatment is 16 years of age. If you are under 18 years of age, a legal guardian must sign your waiver as consent on your behalf.
Cancellations & rescheduling appointments must be made 24 hours before the start of your appointment and must be made no later than 5.00pm the day before your treatment. If booked directly with us there is a 5% non-refundable credit card fee (included in all our prices as shown), this is non-refundable even when cancelled within the cancellation time-frame. When cancelled or no-show within the cancellation time, no refunds are possible.
Finally, it is forbidden to initiate or participate in any sexual activity at Nadi. If you do, you will be asked to leave and will not receive a refund. Additionally, you may be fined $200 and reported to the authorities for any inappropriate sexual advances or behaviour.
