AND

Transitions Float Studio is an oasis for transformation, relaxation and rejuvenation. Wellness services include Infrared Sauna, Cold Plunge, Red Light & Near Infrared Beds, VibroAcoustic Beds, and Salt Cave with Halotherapy. They are locally owned and operated. The float studio was opened to share something with others that had a profound impact on their lives.

Float Therapy involves relaxing in an environment free of sensory input while laying weightless in a private sea of high-density Epsom Salt solution, allowing for ideal conditions for mental and physical rest and healing. The solution creates a Zero Gravity Environment, Relieving back and joint related pains.

Why it works: Restricted Environmental Stimulation Therapy (R.E.S.T.)

Relax the body and the brain will follow… Limiting all external sensory input allows the body to completely relax into the session, creating a deep calming effect on the mind. Deep value comes not just from floating in a zero-gravity environment, but through process of sensory deprivation.

Float therapy is not just for "relaxing because you're stressed." The float experience is also for those looking for creative expansion and an opportunity to gain insight, promote self-awareness, and explore themselves. It is a place to disconnect from life so you're able to reconnect with your true self.  

Wellness Services include: Infrared Sauna; Cold Plunge; Salt Cave; VibroAcoustic Beds; Red Light & Near Infrared Beds

Vita Pure IV is your choice provider of intravenous (IV) therapies. They have a range of offerings that can provide support for your immune system, promote weight loss, enhance peak performance and recovery as well as improve the strength and appearance of your hair, skin, and nails.
