Float Norfolk

Overview

Float Norfolk is a premier wellness center located in Norfolk, Virginia, specializing in float therapy (sensory deprivation pods), infrared sauna sessions, and advanced biofeedback technologies for profound relaxation, stress reduction, pain relief, and recovery. While not exclusively a sauna business, it prominently features Sunlighten mPulse infrared sauna inspired by nature’s healing waves, alongside float pods filled with Epsom salt for effortless buoyancy. The facility integrates multiple modalities to reset the mind and body, targeting issues like PTSD, traumatic brain injury, athletic recovery, fibromyalgia, and chronic stress.

The overall atmosphere is one of deep calm, healing, and transformation. Guests describe emerging with bright eyes, wide smiles, and giggles of joy after sessions. It’s a sanctuary promoting mental clarity, physical release, spiritual purpose, and emotional peace, often likened to a ‘spiritual experience’ or ‘effective translational lift.’ Private pods and rooms ensure control over lights, music, and lids, making it accessible even for claustrophobics or first-timers. The center honors veterans, athletes, and busy parents, fostering a supportive, non-judgmental environment in the vibrant Art District of Ghent.
