Float therapy offers an escape from distractions that can overload your senses. When you enter a sensory deprivation tank and close the hatch, you’re sealed off from outside influences and stimuli. The intent is to give your mind and body a break to reset. You remove the clutter and noise and distractions of daily life. Everything is stripped away. It’s just you, untethered. The tank is dark and quiet, giving your eyes and ears a welcome rest. The chamber is filled with a shallow pool of water saturated with Epsom salt, offering buoyancy that helps you effortlessly float. The feeling of weightlessness that comes with floating heightens that sense of detachment from the world. Essentially, it creates an environment where you’re not even bound by the laws of gravity. By not touching a hard surface, it helps complete that feeling of disconnect. The temperature of the water and chamber is set to match your skin temperature, too, allowing you to better mesh with your surroundings. Benefits of float therapy: - Gain a mental boost - Improved sleep - Pain relief

Breast cancer happens when healthy breast cells become abnormal, multiply and form tumors. Most breast cancers are carcinomas that start in milk ducts or milk-producing glands. Most cases are invasive. This means that without treatment, a tumor can spread to other parts of your body. Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers that affects women. Approximately 1 in 8 women in the United States will develop breast cancer in their lifetime. Although it’s rare, male breast cancers also occur. Most people who have breast cancer survive it. Still, what a breast cancer diagnosis means is different for everyone. The cancer type, its stage and your response to treatment are just a few factors that will shape your outlook.
