Stillpoint Wellness Spa

FAQ 🤓: What should I expect for my first Still Point Signature massage?

Still Point’s Signature Massage is an integrative, presence-based form of massage and bodywork that first took root on the cliffs of Big Sur, California, at the renowned Esalen Institute. In its essence, each session is an invitation to slow down, drop into a deep state of presence and mindful awareness of the bodymind connection, and experience a state of deep rest that we call the stillpoint.

Sessions are designed to regulate the nervous system and support whole-body integration. Expect long, flowing strokes that travel the full length of the body. Pressure is applied with an open, full-handed touch and adapts as the body softens and releases. Practitioners move slowly, listening closely to your body’s cues in real time.

Your practitioner may incorporate a range of techniques such as gentle rocking, passive joint movement, stretching, deep tissue work, acupressure, craniosacral therapy, or subtle energy work. Every massage is unique and attuned to where you are, physically, emotionally, and energetically on the day you arrive.

FAQ 🤓: What type of float tanks does Still Point Wellness have?

We offer two sizes of spacious float chambers custom-designed by Float Labs to the highest standards:
6’ wide x 8’ long x 7’ tall
4’ wide x 8’ long x 7’ tall

Some folks prefer the slightly narrower tanks, as they are anti-drift, while other people enjoy the extra space in the wider tanks for more room to stretch out. If you would like to request a certain type of tank, please call when you book so that we can accommodate you.

There are many simple pleasures to be found in our integration lounge. One of those is sipping tea from an mug after fully unwinding in a massage, float, sauna or facial. The warm ceramic in your hands is truly perfect as you cozy up under a weighted blanket, and drift into a quiet stillness.

FAQ 🤓: Do I need to prepare myself for floating?

We suggest avoiding caffeine and alcohol for a day before you float. You will probably be more comfortable if you can postpone shaving. Skin shaved within 2-3 hours of using the tank may sting for a short time. If you wear contact lenses you may want to remove them as it might be a problem if salt water gets into your eyes.

We supply you with everything that you need including organic shampoo, conditioner, & soap, ear plugs, and towels for the shower before and after your float.

There is a two-foot ledge to step over to enter the float tank. If you think you may need assistance with that, we encourage you to bring a guest to help assist you with entering and exiting the tank.
