Mystic Flow Wellness Center, Gainesville

You're floating on your back in warm water. Looking up, you see a blue-green glow surrounding your body; elsewhere, there is darkness. You close your eyes, and experience a deep sense of relaxation as you slowly disconnect from your senses.

This is just one experience you can have at Mystic Flow Wellness Center. Inside a float pod filled a foot deep with water in which about 1,000 pounds of medical-grade salt has been dissolved, you can sink into the deeply revitalizing, pain-soothing effects of flotation therapy. You can also choose a massage or reflexology session to enhance your relaxation, or perhaps a reiki treatment to bring errant energies back into line. And if you feel the need to give your life greater clarity and focus, you can opt for services ranging from a crystal reading to life coaching or hypnotherapy, all of which help facilitate insight and transformation.
