Time in our floatation pool is particularly effective in quickly improving the quality of sleep.

Cranio-sacral therapy is a holistic, gentle “hands on therapy”. It can assist in removing blockages and restoring the natural flow of the cranio-sacral system and restoring the autonomic nervous system to normal function. Cranio-sacral therapy has many benefits including relief of anxiety, back and neck pain, general pain and head injuries, as well as boosting overall health and well-being, relief from insomnia, fatigue and poor digestion.

MUSIC SENSORIUM

Time in the private and tranquil chill room (music sensorium), with our specially curated music playlist, will complement and enhance your treatment experience.
