School’s back in session, and as both new and returning students gear up for the stresses that come with a new semester, finding a healthy outlet for that tension becomes a serious priority. Exercise and proper nutrition will get you a long way, but what else can you do to keep your mind sharp, nerves calm, and body relaxed throughout the school year?
At True REST Float Spa, we’re proud to introduce students across the country to the wonderful world of floatation therapy. Our unique, remarkably simple approach to mind and body wellness revolves around the practice of full-body floatation within pods filled with just two simple ingredients: Epsom salt and warm water, heated to your body temperature.
By implementing this science-based practice into your routine, you can float your way into a clear mind and relaxed body, fully prepared to tackle the academic challenges ahead.
A Safe Haven for Mind and Body Relaxation
One of the major benefits of float therapy is its inherent safety; the water is only a few inches deep, and the thousand pounds of salt in each tank keep you effortlessly floating from start to finish. It’s a unique, surprising experience for first-timers, but once you try it, you’ll see just how easy it can be to let your mind and body relax fully.
When you join us for a Reduced Environmental Stimulus Therapy session, you can rest easy knowing that your experience will be safe and tuned to your liking. Whether you decide to opt for a lights-out approach and keep things super quiet, or you need an open door, some lighting, and a little soothing music to feel more comfortable, we’re happy to accommodate and help you achieve your relaxation goals.
Float Therapy: A Healthy Stress-Relief Alternative for College Students
College students have a plethora of options in how they choose to handle the mental load associated with their pursuit of knowledge, but not all of them are healthy. Young adults have so much to deal with in today’s academic environment, and unfortunately, some students seeking quick stress relief turn to pharmaceutical interventions, drinking, illicit drugs, and other destructive habits in order to cope, which in turn lead to poor sleep habits, memory retention issues, and further mental disturbance.
We all know that proper exercise–simply getting your body up and moving–works wonders to alleviate stress, depression, anxiety, and other common mental health issues, but what else can you do for yourself?
Via a proper REST session, busy students are able to comfort their overworked bodies and minds through pure relaxation. Long nights studying in the library and early mornings spent at the gym before class take their toll, but a blissful, transcendent relaxation awaits them at True REST in the form of floatation therapy. Through the peace and quiet of a delightful float session, we are proud to offer students a safe, simple, and effective tool to improve and strengthen their mental health.
Becoming a professional floater requires only one skill: a willingness to try. For many people, letting go of stress, anxiety and pain can be hard to do; mental tension and physical discomfort can often preoccupy us and restrict us from living in the moment. After a session or two, you’ll find yourself fully relaxing with ease and maximizing the potential of each appointment you book.
Students of All Backgrounds
We all have our own problems, most of which are intensely personal and individual to us. While there’s not a one-size-fits-all solution for every problem, we genuinely believe in the power of floatation therapy as an immensely helpful practice for folks looking to improve their mental and physical well-being without professional consultation.
We welcome students of all backgrounds and encourage them to give True REST Float Spa a try by offering first-time floaters a coupon for 50% off of their initial 1-hour float session!
Stress from too much studying? Depression over a less-than-desirable grade on your term paper? Anxiety about a group project? What float therapy does is allow you to settle into a comfortable headspace and more calmly approach your issues. Combined with a healthy diet and plenty of exercise, salt float therapy can be very helpful for students of all types.
Veterans Welcome
Additionally, we want to make a special note for our veterans who are returning to school. Since our inception, True REST Float Spa has understood the powerful effect that floatation therapy can have for people suffering from PTSD and other severe forms of physical and mental trauma.
Students these days are under tremendous academic pressure, but those coming back to school after serving in the armed forces have an additional set of issues that they may be dealing with.
We’re proud to offer veterans free floats on the 11th of each month as an additional incentive for them to experience firsthand the difference that this safe and effective technique can make in their lives.

Student Float Therapy for Every Season
Floating is the perfect year-round therapy. Whether it’s hot or cold outside, our comforting, salty water mimics your body’s natural temperature and soothes your skin. We aim to give guests a consistent experience that they can develop into a routine; reliability is an important prerequisite for healthy fitness habits to develop.
College students who are new to True REST Float Spa will find a staff that is knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and well-equipped to continually deliver them a satisfying experience. Tomorrow’s leaders can rely on us for the best of the best in floatation therapy.
