INFRARED SAUNA

BrainWaves Float Studio and Wellness Center

Overview

BrainWaves Float Studio and Wellness Center is a premier holistic wellness facility in the Pittsburgh area, specializing in far infrared (IR) saunas as part of a broader suite of therapies targeting specific brainwave states (Delta: 0-4 Hz for deep relaxation; Theta: 4-8 Hz for meditation; Alpha: 8-13 Hz for focus; Beta: 13-32 Hz for stimulation; Gamma: 32-100 Hz for peak performance). While saunas are a core offering in Beta and Gamma rooms, the center integrates them with float therapy, cold plunges, and more for comprehensive recovery and optimization.

The overall atmosphere is upscale, spa-like, and serene, emphasizing personal growth, self-discovery, and cellular-level rejuvenation. Clients enjoy private suites, zero-gravity lounges, en-suite showers, and post-session recovery in the Theta State Lounge with complimentary water or tea. The experience blends ancient traditions with modern science, fostering deep relaxation to sensory stimulation in a supportive, non-intrusive environment owned by Paul Mularski.
