Rise Above Floatation — Local services in Village/Town of Mount Kisco

Micah (co-owner) made me feel comfortable when I called to inquire about reserving a float. I arrived far earlier than need be, and my early arrival wasn't a problem - I was given the tour and some basic instructions right away. I've never done a flotation/sensory deprivation before. Not being a "water person" I had some slight trepidation(s), but it was clear to me that this is a safe experience and that in the event of discomfort it's really easy to exit from the pod. The pod itself is small and softly lit from within. (You have the option of a larger unit, but I wanted to be cocooned). The person inside is able to turn the light on or off at their discretion. I chose darkness as soon as I found myself settling into the salty water. Micah provides an important hint: trust the buoyancy. The water really does support you fully, including your head. Again, trust it and let you head go back as if you were laying flat on a pillowless bed. The pod provided excellent sound and light insulation, so the immersion was just about perfect. Water temp could have been perhaps a degree or two warmer. The only issue I had was me: I have an unquiet mind, so letting go and "zoning out" simply didn't happen, although I felt supremely happy and relaxed for the rest of the day. I highly recommend trying a float, and I recommend "Rise Above" without...

You are well cared for the minute you walk in the door, and you know it. The facilities are pristine and the float rooms are both lovely and awesome. What I did not understand before I was given my introductory tutorial is that the float session is totally within my control, from lighting to the status of the tank (open, closed, partly open, etc.), all of which is controlled from within the tank. There is even a panic button! And fresh water in a spray bottle is provided in case you manage to get salt in your eyes. You are also provided with ear plugs to keep the salt water out of your ears and Vaseline to protect any open cuts or raw cuticles from the salt. The shower is a nice overhead rain shower and the towels are clean, fluffy and absorbent. How wonderful! I used the "womb room" and was thoroughly satisfied with my experience - it exceeded even my expectations. I will be back soon to enjoy a variety of float experiences because I have never felt as relaxed in my life as I did when I emerged from the tank. The hour passed too quickly - I was truly surprised when the light came on to signal that my session was at its end. I recommend this experience and this provider...

My husband and I decided to try 'floating' last week on our day off from work and after reading about the experience, were hoping to have a unique and relaxing time at Rise Above Floatation. I called and spoke with the owner, Micah, asking him about 10 different questions about the process, who was more than happy to answer anything and everything that I had concerns about. We booked an appointment for the very next day and again, met Micah who was great! He took his time explaining the process to us both. We did not feel rushed at all. The facility was clean, decorated beautifully and felt extremely relaxing to be in. After our floating experience, we took our time enjoying complimentary tea and discussing our experiences with Micah. We will definitely be back and recommend this place to anyone wanting a unique, relaxing and...
