Together for mental health

The sustainable routine for your mental health
Our modern world exposes us to a multitude of demands and stimuli - expectations, pressure to perform and constant availability. Maintaining mental health and breathing regularly is therefore a key pillar for a balanced quality of life. Floating offers a decisive advantage: it is simple , natural and more profound than classic forms of relaxation. The low-stimulus environment acts like a refreshing reset on our heads and makes floating the ultimate companion for your mental health.
Medical floating for anxiety disorders and depression
In recent years, the number of mental illnesses has increased significantly. However, common treatment methods are often associated with long waiting times, medication and high costs. This is where floating comes in and shows impressive results after just one treatment. Under the term REST (Restricted Environmental Stimulation Therapy), science is therefore increasingly investigating the effects of floating. Floating achieves a significant reduction in anxiety and depression and a considerable increase in calmness . These effects last between 48 and 120 hours , a great clinical success. The special thing: Regular floating lowers the long-term, general starting level of tension and can therefore be actively used to prevent and treat anxiety disorders and depression .

Personal voices
Whether for the treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety disorders, depression or general exhaustion – floating plays an increasingly important role in our mental health
I had a patient who I was interviewing after their float. The patient approached me and said, "You know, even if that feeling only lasts for an hour, just being able to know that I am capable of feeling that way again, was worth it." It's fascinating to hear such a perspective from a patient.
The float environment doesn't require any drugs, it doesn't require you having to divulge personal secrets to a total stranger. It just involves you and water. As simple as it gets.
Designed for carefree relaxation
Our float pools are designed so that you can feel completely comfortable. Spacious, with high ceilings and excellent air circulation, they create a relaxed atmosphere. You do not float in a narrow pod, but in an open pool (190 cm x 250 cm ) – a new dimension of floating.
Overcome your fears
Together we are committed to mental health. If you suffer from mental health problems, do not hesitate to speak to us in advance about your specific problem. We are always happy to listen and help - also in collaboration with a therapist or an existing treatment plan.
