Hey all!
So if you've been keeping up to date with my vlogs you'll know that last week I visited a floatation centre in Stafford. It's a small building with 2 waiting rooms (one for before floating and one for after) 2 pod suites and a recovery room. The waiting rooms were both very simply decorated with beautiful pictures and small pieces of decor dotted around - without it being too in your face.
I went into the first room and spoke to the owner while I waited for my pod suite to be ready. He explained everything too me, I'm pretty sure he could see how nervous I was! He was honestly so lovely, having an understanding and helpful person that wasn't there to take my money and sell me things made the whole experience much better.
I then walked down the hall to find my pod. The rooms again were simple yet appealing. There was a shelf with ear plugs, vaseline for any cuts (you DO NOT want to get salt water in a fresh cut!) and a few other items to improve the experience. Then the shower - one thing I always critique is showers, too little or too much pressure can ruin something good. But this was just perfect. It also had shampoo, condition and body wash. The provided were towels too so you don't have to take loads of stuff with you.
I got myself showered and ready to jump into my pod. I was pretty nervous (final destination sun beds anyone?!) but as soon as I got in there I was fine. The lid is really light so you can get in and out whenever you need. The light inside is optional so if you feel uncomfortable - or are terrified of the dark like me, you can keep the light on. Soft Music also played for the first 10 minutes and last 5 minutes. And then you just float.
I'm not sure why it shocked me so much how I floated. This sounds crazy but let me explain. The water is salt water, and I much as I tried to push my legs to the floor or lay on my side, I couldn't. I tried so I could explain properly to you guys how it worked but it was impossible.
The hour went by so quick and I ended up being much more reluctant to leave my beautiful relaxing pod and continue with my life than I expected. I felt like I had a full night's sleep. I was refreshed and ready for the day - not that I'm saying another nap wouldn't of helped me but you all know how much I love a good nap.
I then showered and washed my hair, stood for a few minutes admiring how soft my skin felt and then made my way to the 'Recovery Room'. This is a room with a mirror, hair drier and skin/hair products to help you get ready for the day/evening. I took my hair brush and heat spray with me but they provided everything else which was really amazing. I chose not to take make up as I didn't fancy wearing it after being so relaxed!
After I was all 'recovered' I went over to the second waiting room where there was a glass of water waiting for me and a guest book on the side. I wrote in my comment and had a read of the other comments in there. I was amazed by how far people had travelled, traveling to Stafford from Milton Keynes and Bolton. The owner then came over and asked how I found it etc and offered me more water - I don't think I've ever drank that amount of water in such a small sitting. He explained the benefits and I described how I found it etc. The pod's help with so many problems such as Depression, Anxiety, Fibromyalgia, Broken Bones, Asthma, Arthritis, Sprained Muscles and so much more.
The experience completely exceeded my expectations and the nerves I had were completely unnecessary. It calmed, relaxed and recharged me. I would definately recommend a visit to Time to Float whether you are local or not, it is worth trying out. I'll include some pictures of the experience below.
