Health & comfort

Do any health precautions apply to me?

We can't book anyone in their first trimester for any experience. Later in pregnancy, check with your OB/GYN or midwife before booking. If you have a medical condition, take medication or have an implanted device, check the precautions for your chosen experience and consult your clinician. Contact us about accessibility or help using equipment. These are wellness services, not medical treatments.

What should I check before floating?

Ask about open wounds, skin conditions, epilepsy or kidney disease. We can't book anyone in their first trimester for any experience; later in pregnancy, check with your OB/GYN or midwife. Floaters must be at least 14 years old, and guests under 18 need a parent or guardian present. See float precautions.

What about sauna and cold plunge?

Our saunas are infrared and heat up to 150°F. Get clinical guidance for heart or blood-pressure conditions, temperature sensitivity, pregnancy or medication use. See Fire & Ice precautions.

What's the difference between an infrared sauna and a regular sauna?

A regular (traditional) sauna heats the air with a stove, and the air heats you — those rooms usually run between about 150°F and 195°F. An infrared sauna uses panels that give off infrared light, which warms your body directly, so the air stays cooler. Ours are infrared and heat up to 150°F; infrared rooms generally don't go higher than that. Many people find them easier to breathe in and easier to stay in longer. See the Fire & Ice guide.

What about compression and salt sessions?

For compression, we do not book pressotherapy at any stage of pregnancy, and do not book without clinical guidance if you have blood clots, DVT, infection or circulatory conditions. For salt sessions, ask about respiratory or skin concerns; check with a pediatrician for children. See compression and salt-room precautions.

What about magnetic, light and sound experiences?

For PEMF/EMTT, check implanted devices, pregnancy, medication and medical conditions. For red light, check photosensitivity and eye conditions; follow eye-protection instructions. For NeuroVIZR, check epilepsy, photosensitivity and migraines. See each experience’s precautions.

What about vibration, scans and practitioner sessions?

Check pregnancy and implanted devices for vibration or body scans, plus balance and mobility for vibration. Discuss injuries, surgery, pregnancy, conditions and touch preferences with your practitioner. Wellness assessments do not diagnose disease or replace clinical care. See experience precautions.

What if I feel uncomfortable during a session?

Stop and alert the team. Before starting, we can explain how to get help or leave safely. For a medical emergency, call 911.
