Curiosity and the need to relax led me to try a float. I totally enjoyed my first experience, the salt water makes you feel like you are on a bed of silk and as you drift away into a stress free world you're mind and body relax to a state I have never experienced. I have high blood pressure so this is a tonic to me. All sense of time is lost in the dark and once you are gently awakened by soothing music after an hour the feeling is amazing. It takes a while after a shower to be fully alert again. But wow, that night I slept like a baby and felt great the next day. What a fantastic escape that you will want to experience again and again. Alan & Gillian at Shimmer are always on hand to educate you on the health benefits and to ensure you enjoy your time with them. There are many more treatments can be enjoyed at Shimmer, I recommend it to all and I wish the company every success.
