Floating for pregnant women can offer a brilliant level of relaxation, and pain relief not found outside of the tank.  Float Therapy allows you to escape the added weight of pregnancy by floating in a weightless environment, taking strain off the body, joints and spine. Floating promotes excellent sleep, a lovely sense of well being, and can help with all the aches and pains associated with pregnancy.

Floating can help the pregnant mum to be, literally float through the pregnancy with a level of calm and comfort whilst the Epsom salt solution decreases inflammation.  The  pregnant mum to be will also absorb magnesium from the water solution in the float tank which is amazing for the skin.

 

Women that are in their 2nd and 3rd trimesters of pregnancy are welcome to float after seeking advice from their healthcare provideR.  When discussing flotation with your GP or healthcare provider PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION.

  • The tank water is heated to skin temperature of the body (34.5C) and your core body temperature will not rise.
  • The water contains over 300 kilograms of Epsom Salt  (magnesium sulphate) which allows the anti-gravity flotation experience.
  • The tank water is filtered to less than 20microns, pH balanced, sanitised with a minimum of 2ppm of bromine.
  • There is direct airflow through the tank with its specifically designed ventilation system to encourage air flow and direction.
  • Lights and safety alarms are also available within the float tank for comfort and peace of mind.

T E S T I M O N I A L  //  "My journey with fertility was a challenging one, and at the same time my brother was diagnosed with GBM brain tumour and given a short time to live.  With a lot of stress I was really looking for a holistic approach to support me throughout the ongoing process.  We confirmed our current pregnancy two days after my brother passed away, which was a challenge within itself. One of my dear friends purchased a flotation tank session at the Wellness Studio for me as a gift, not knowing that I wasn’t able to use it in my first trimester.  When we arrived, the accommodating staff swapped this over for a salt room treatment, where the two of us were able to kick back in the comfortable massage chairs and tune out from the ‘real world’ for the hour. 

In my third trimester my back began to hurt, severely, and once again my friend purchased a 3 pass pack for the flotation tank.  My first experience in the tank was awesome.  Taking the weight off my body allowed me to stretch out and explore the experience of the tank. I didn’t completely relax as I just want to stretch out and roll over (which I haven’t been able to do for so long!). My second session was such a different experience.  I was completely relaxed and meditated throughout the session.  The staff have all told me to wait to the third as apparently it is the best.  Overall my back has improved dramatically.  I am currently 33 weeks and working full time as an Assistant Principal of a very busy school.  I was making it until roughly 11am before the pain in my back took over at about an 8/10.  Over the last week I have felt a huge difference with the pain at about a 2/10 by 12pm.  I am really keen to keep working for the next few weeks so I am looking forward to my third session and because I am loving it my darling partner purchased another 3 passes for me.

I would like to thank the staff for their friendly and calm environment that they have created. Your professionalism has helped me more than you can every realise.  I really appreciate it."
