Magnesium Float Therapy in Campbellfield
A private float pod, body temperature water saturated with pharmaceutical grade Epsom salt, and nothing left to do except be still.
Why people come to float
Maybe your mind never really switches off. Maybe sleep has been patchy for longer than you'd like to admit. Maybe you just want one hour where nobody can reach you, nothing needs a response, and your body gets to properly stop.
Float therapy tends to suit people who are craving genuine, deep rest, not just time off, but an actual break from sound, light and gravity for a while.
The science behind why it works
Float therapy is a form of what's technically called Restricted Environmental Stimulation Therapy, or REST. With sound, light and gravity removed from the equation, your brain has far less sensory input to process than usual. Floatation-REST has been studied for relaxation, stress and related psychological responses, and research has also examined how brain activity changes during a float. What the evidence supports is a genuine reduction in sensory load and a state of deep physical rest. What it does not support is a promise of any specific brain state, so we don’t make one. Individual responses vary.
How it works
You float effortlessly in body temperature water saturated with pharmaceutical grade Epsom salt, inside a private pod with the lid open or closed, whichever you prefer. The concentrated Epsom salt solution creates buoyancy, allowing the body to float with very little effort. The warm, reduced-stimulation environment gives many people dedicated time to rest and decompress.
Many clients find the first 20 minutes an adjustment before a deep sense of calm sets in, as the nervous system settles without its usual sensory input to process. That first-20-minutes adjustment is normal, not a sign it isn't working.
What to expect during your session
Sessions run 30 or 60 minutes. The pod comfortably fits two people together, up to a maximum combined weight of 140kg, if you'd rather share the experience than float alone. You choose the lid open or closed, there's no wrong way to do this. For the best experience, avoid caffeine in the hours before your float and try to arrive without rushing straight from something stressful.
Who it may suit
- Your sleep has been inconsistent and you want to support it properly, not just mask it
- You're carrying stress that regular rest doesn't seem to touch
- You want one hour of genuine, sensory-free stillness
- You're already using sauna or red light and want to add a deeper reset alongside them
- You'd like to try floating with a partner rather than alone
Many clients describe float therapy as the deepest rest they get in their week, which is why it anchors our Stress Reset and Sleep Optimisation Programs alongside sauna and red light.

Avoid caffeine in the hours before your session, since it works against the deep relaxation you're aiming for. There's no need to fast beforehand, just avoid arriving rushed straight from something stressful if you can help it.

30 or 60 minutes, whichever suits your schedule and goals.
REST stands for Restricted Environmental Stimulation Therapy, the technical term for removing sound, light and gravity from your senses all at once. It's a genuinely different depth of rest to lying on a couch, since your brain has almost nothing left to process.

Floating removes most of the sensory input your brain spends the day filtering, and the salt solution takes the load off your joints and spine. People commonly explore it for relaxation, stress, mental decompression, physical rest and recovery, and as dedicated time for stillness. Research into Floatation-REST has looked at stress, relaxation and sleep-related outcomes. Individual responses vary, and it is not a treatment for a diagnosed condition.
You float effortlessly. The water is saturated with pharmaceutical grade Epsom salt, at body temperature, which supports your body without any effort on your part.
The Epsom salt concentration can sting on open cuts or fresh grazes. Let our team know beforehand so we can advise you properly.
Some clients use floating as part of an evening wind-down routine. Research has explored its effects on stress, relaxation and sleep-related outcomes. Many people describe the rest they get in the pod as deeper than they manage elsewhere in their week, though individual responses vary.
Showers are available before and after your float, so you can rinse off properly and leave feeling fresh, not salty.
Yes, we're a short drive from all three, plus Coolaroo and Roxburgh Park. Many local clients build a regular float into their week rather than treating it as a rare treat.
What people commonly explore it for
- A low-stimulation environment with very little to react to
- Buoyancy that takes load off the body without any effort from you
- Dedicated time to rest, uninterrupted
These are reasons people book. How restful a float feels varies from person to person.
Preparing for your session

- Eat lightly about an hour before. Not too full, not hungry.

- Remove contact lenses before entering the pod.
