Clarity Float Spa

Overview

Clarity Float Spa is a premier wellness center in Columbia, Missouri, specializing in sensory deprivation float therapy, infrared sauna sessions, and massage therapy. Primarily known for its float tanks that create a near-zero-gravity, limited-sensory environment filled with Epsom salt water, the spa also offers complementary heat therapy and bodywork to promote deep relaxation, healing, and mental clarity. The facility emphasizes a peaceful ‘nothingness’ experience, allowing visitors to escape daily stresses, reduce anxiety, and restore mind and body.

The overall atmosphere is tranquil and restorative, evoking a sense of weightlessness like ‘floating on a cloud’ or in ‘outer space.’ Private rooms provide complete control over lights, music, and access, fostering introspection, serenity, and creativity. Clients report profound benefits including stress relief, pain reduction, improved sleep, and emotional well-being, backed by clinical studies. The spa cultivates a welcoming community vibe, with a passionate team sharing personal float journeys.

Notes

• Unique Aspects: Founded by float enthusiasts Connor and Noah, Clarity stands out with its mission-driven focus on ‘nothingness’ for clarity and recovery—rare in Columbia. Clinically proven benefits (e.g., reduced anxiety/depression per 2018 PLOS study) without pharmaceuticals. Accommodates claustrophobia (easy exit/lights), pregnancy (consult doctor), kids (under 18 with waiver/parent). Sauna pairs perfectly pre/post-float. Passionate team (e.g., Zac for anxiety, Anna for stress) builds community; no swimsuits needed. Expansions include sauna (2019) and massage. Emphasizes safety/cleanliness and holistic wellness over traditional spas.
