Floatation therapy provides a deep state of relaxation that stimulates blood flow through all of the body’s tissues, reduces stress hormone levels and releases natural endorphins.

I understand that floatation tanks use:

·        Pharmaceutical grade Epsom salt (magnesium sulfate)

·        Ultraviolet and Ozone sanitization systems

·        Natural and non-toxic biodegradable cleaning products

I further understand that each individual may have a unique experience. I understand I will be given an orientation which will familiarize me with the safe and appropriate use of the tank. I agree to take full responsibility for my thoughts and actions while in the floatation tank and the waiver of liability and all agreements made herein shall apply to each and every use of the floatation tank.

I hereby agree to irrevocably release and waive any claims that I have now or may have hereafter against The Mended Willow, LLC and its employees and agents. I will not hold the owner/operator of The Mended Willow, LLC nor its employees and/or agents liable for any injury during a session or while on the premises.
Minors are not permitted to participate in floatation therapy. I certify that I am at least 18 years old.All float tanks are in wet areas and I will take extra precautions for my own safety. I assume any and all liability due to injury and/or damage resulting from any slip and fall incident.I am physically capable of getting in and out of the float tanks on my own. This requires enough upper body strength to pull myself up from a sitting position to a standing position. If unable, I agree that I will arrive with a certified aide to help me in and out of my session.If this is my first time floating, or if I require a refresher orientation, I will arrive 15 minutes prior to my appointment time. Otherwise, I will arrive 10 minutes prior to my scheduled float session.I agree to shower with body wash and shampoo thoroughly before each of my float sessions to completely remove all dirt and oils from my body.I am aware that keratin hair treatments can be affected by any salt water, especially the highly saline water in a float tank.I agree that any cologne, perfume, make-up or creams will be fully removed from my body prior to entering the float tanks.I agree that, if I smoke, I will refrain from doing so for at least one hour prior to entering the float center to avoid brining the odor of smoke into the tanks.If pregnant, I have consulted with, and secured written permission from my physician to float.If I have had ear surgery, I have consulted with, and secured written permission from my physician to use the floatation tank. Clients with ear tubes are not recommended to float.I understand that, in order to keep other customers from waiting, my showering times should be limited to no more than 10 minutes each.I do not have any communicable or infectious disease, illness, or skin disorders.I do not suffer from incontinence.If I suffer from uncontrolled seizures or epilepsy, I have medical authorization to float.I do not have a condition nor am I on any medication which may have adverse effects due to immersion in the concentrated magnesium sulfate (Epsom salt) water solution.I understand that floating may lower blood pressure and will take extra care standing up after my float. If I have a history of high or low blood pressure, I have medical authorization to float.I understand that if I suffer from vertigo when lying down, the same could occur during a float session.If I have chronic heart or kidney disease, I have medical authorization to float.If I am diabetic with insulin dependency, I have medical authorization to float.I am not under the influence of any medication, drug or alcohol.

Hair Dye and Liquid Tanning or Other Contamination of the Float Tank Solution

Hair dye and self-tanners has been shown to cause many incidents of float tank solution discoloration. The leeching of the dye out of the hair can permanently stain the float tank interior, stain our towels and can be almost impossible to remove from the solution without a full replacement of the water and salt. If you dye your hair, please make sure the dye is fully set (usually about 30 days). You also agree that you have not used a self-tanner or had a professional spray tan in the past 7 days.

Violation of any of the rules above resulting in contamination of the float tank solution (including but not limited to dyes, oils or any bodily fluids/excrement) will result in a cleaning, loss of business and/or salt replacement fee of $1500.
