Float8 - Wellness Lounge

Happy birthday, Float8!

On Monday, August 21, 2017 - during the first solar eclipse to cross North America in 99 years - we celebrated the grand opening of Float8 DFB!

Barefoot ceremonial blessing of the space while the mayor and city commissioners wandered about followed by ribbon cutting, DJ x Native American flute + singing bowls for entertainment, lively crowd of new and old friends.

Eclipse season is a time of transformation. Born out of a solar eclipse, Float8 has provided you the ability to eclipse the chaos of life; to find a quiet moment of reflection where you can realign your trajectory and step into what life could be.

For some, today is easy: golf, grill, a card, no complications.

For others, it's layered. Love, but also distance. Pride, but also memories that didn't go the way you wanted. Gratitude sitting right alongside some old suffering.
Wherever you fall on that today, I see you.

My dad and I haven't always had it easy. We've had closer seasons and harder ones; years where we didn't agree on much, and a stretch where it took real work to find our way back to each other. I don't think that makes us unusual. I think most families have a version of this, even if nobody posts about it.

He was my first coach, and he's still cheering for me today. When I was a kid, he'd encourage me pedaling up a steep hill on my bike with a simple "no pain, no gain," something that stuck with me well beyond two wheels, through some of the harder challenges since.

Soccer was our bond as a kid and through school. A few years ago, Inter Miami became the thing that brought us back into the same room, season after season watching a franchise build itself from nothing into something. I don't think it's a coincidence that we were rebuilding too.

Floating works a little differently than the way he raised me - no pain required, just stillness - but the gain is just as real. Patience, the long view, letting something take the time it needs instead of forcing it. I bring a version of that into how I show up with my dad now.

Today we're watching World Cup matches together. We attended a game back in '94, and I'm sure we'll reminisce about it.

If your relationship with your dad is easy today, that's a gift...enjoy it. If it's complicated, that's real too, and you're not alone in it.

However today lands for you, take a moment for yourself if you need it. Happy Father's Day. To the dads, to the ones missing their dads, and to everyone in between - sending floaty vibes your way.

P.S. If you do need a break yourself or you think your dad or anyone in your life could use one, Float8 is offering 20% off single float gift cards, plus Father's Day package deals, through the end of the day.

"It's like therapy. But I didn't have to talk to anyone." - is something we hear from dads after their first float, a lot. New on the blog: why floating might be the best Father's Day gift you haven't thought of yet.

The Gift of Nothing: Why Dads Need a Float This Father’s Day | FLOAT8 WELLNESS LOUNGE Father's Day is coming up fast. And if you've been trying to find a gift that actually means something - not another grill accessory, not a card that gets left on the counter, not a gift basket with things he'll never use - we have an idea. Give him nothing. Not in a passive-aggressive way.

Dad Mode: Off 🎁

This Father's Day, give Dad the one thing he'd never buy himself: an hour of complete stillness.

No phone. No noise. No one needing anything from him.
Float8 gift cards are 20% off now through June 21. Single float experiences starting at just $72.

Because the best gift isn't something he unwraps. It's something he actually feels.

Mother’s Day hits different for everyone.

For some, it’s all love and celebration.
For others, it’s layered: grief, gratitude, love, absence - and sometimes guilt or even resentment - maybe all at once.

Wherever you fall on that spectrum today, just know we see you, and we’re sending love your way 💙🧡🩵

This is my 22nd Mother’s Day without my mom (but who’s counting 😉).

She wasn’t here when Float8 came into my life, but in a lot of ways, she’s still the reason it exists.

She shaped who I am.
And through a bit of financial legacy, she helped make this possible.

But here’s the part I don’t talk about much…

It wasn’t until I found floating - about 10 years after she passed - that I finally slowed down enough to actually process it.

My healing didn’t really start until then.

That’s a big part of why this matters so much to me.
And why being in the center today, facilitating floats, is how I stay connected to her.

Because I know what it’s like to carry something for a long time without even realizing how much it’s still there.

And I know what it feels like to finally exhale.

I’ll be sharing a couple old photos of us today. Grateful for her. Always.

To the moms, thank you.
To those missing their moms, I’m right there with you.
And to anyone needing a little extra care today…consider this your reminder to take it.

If you want a peaceful reset, we might still have a couple floats open today. And our Mother’s Day gift card special wraps up tonight.

Either way, sending Float8 vibes your way today.

✨ All float durations included
✨ Share it, gift it, or keep it for yourself

Valentine’s Day is one of our busiest times of year, so booking early helps ensure your date unfolds the way you envision it. And with a 90-day expiration, you’ve got plenty of flexibility if you don’t want to float right away.

Stillness > stuf
Presence > pressure.
