Healing Waters Mind and Body Float Studio, LLC

My family visited Healing Waters Mind and Body Float Studio over the weekend and loved it. We have only visited a few different float centers but we found this one to be very clean and neat room layouts with soft lighting and appropriate flooring. The shower is only feet away from the entrance of the tank so it’s just a quick step in. My wife and daughter tried the inversion tables and binaural beats and both appreciated their experience with them. I was eager to get right in the tank and maximize my time. We remained warm during our floats and it almost felt like the water was denser than others we experienced, it was an effortless float. The staff was very knowledgable, friendly and helpful. Definitely recommend that you try this out!

Wow. I feel so silly for putting this off for so long. I saw this place a few years ago and wanted to check it out but I just kept putting it off. After hearing about the benefits of floating on a few podcasts I finally took the plunge and booked an appointment.
I admit that I was nervous when I first got there. It’s such a new experience and I definitely had some first time jitters. It can be a little nerve wracking to go through such a protocol for the first time. (Is that why the whiners are giving less than 5 stars?) Everyone was so courteous though that I never felt less than welcomed and appreciated. Teresa helpfully answered my questions, showed me around, and got me accommodated in my room.
I really appreciate the lighting in this place. Not one harsh fluorescent light to be seen. Thank you!
I floated for an hour and enjoyed it so much that it’s hard for me to articulate here. I felt so refreshed by the end. It’s been a few days now and my mind is still so much more clear than before the float.
The soft music that plays to alert you that your hour is up is absolutely perfect. The temperature of the water was nice as well. At one point I got a little warm, but I’m not sure if this was good or not. As an inexperienced floater I requested the cooler tank for my next float to experiment. They have a cool, warm and warmer tank available and are happy to make recommendations based on your needs in this regard.
I booked another float immediately and you should too!

I got this as a Groupon, I was so excited to check this out. I watched the videos to make sure I was as knowledgeable as possible before I came in, which I loved. I have a few complaints.
* it was nearly impossible to schedule an appointment to get in. Also, the woman Teresa whom answered the phone was so rude. We called for weeks trying to find a time that worked and it seemed like we couldn’t ever get it, although they did call us back eventually and offered to stay late to accommodate us, which I loved and thought was so nice.
We walked in the establishment which is horribly cluttered with stuff everywhere and there was no one to greet us, we sat down on the couch and decided to start filling out paperwork and finally a stoner type guy walked in and decided to take us back. Finally we got set up in the room and we got set up on the inversion table, which I felt like I was going to die because I was getting choked by my breasts, but decided to try and relax. I chose the rain sound which was lovely, the lady asked me if it was loud enough and I said yes right now it is but if I need to find the volume how do I do it? Then she replied «I don’t know I’m new»
Alright whatever… so trying to relax to rain and all I can hear is stoner guy talking loudly for about 10 minutes, alright screw it. so I got up, showered and got in the tank. Immediately I noticed the overwhelming smell of Mildew. It completely took away from the experience. How can I relax if all I smell is mold. You can’t deprive my senses if I’m floating around in mildew. Then all I could think about is. how often does the water get changed. will I ever go back? No. Was it worth a Groupon price. I guess.

Alright, first of all, Renee posted a review on 12÷30÷15 giving this place ONE STAR because she gets claustrophobic and someone gave her the Groupon float as a gift. She hasn’t even been to this establishment according to her review, simply giving it one star because her friend doesn’t know her well enough to know she can’t be in enclosed places. Tell your friend to just get a refund from Groupon and give you the cash or something. But to bring down this business score is pathetic (and an indication of what Unilocalers really are).
With that said, I have been to this place a few times and it’s wonderful. All rooms have a nice, state of the art float tank. If you don’t know what «floating» is, look it up. You may hate it. Many people love it, including myself.
There are showers in the private rooms with clean linens, scented candles, and all sundries you may need. Additionally, you start the session with a calming inverted table to stretch your spine and get your body relaxed for the float.
This is probably the best, friendliest float studio in the Denver area. Without a doubt a five star place, and that other review convinced me I should write one too to somewhat pick up the score for competent buyers.

I got a groupon for Xmas. Sadly i am an extreme claustrophobic, what do I do? I called and was told that only I can use the floats once I sign in. Floats can not be shared with the groupon deal I was told. I have been trying to give my gift to other family members but no one wants to float for 3 times alone. I will probably end up going once to try it out but if we were able to take another family member it would have made me more comfortable. I would not even mind sharing my time with my husband so he could be in the room with me but was told this would cost extra. I explained my claustrophobia and was told I could leave a towel inside the tank door. I just want to have some one go in the room with me to make sure I do not freak out. It was a nice gift but may have been a waste of money. We shall see what happens, oh my!

The location is easy to get to, all of my floats were very relaxing and the people there are friendly and laid back. I highly recommend that you go there ASAP!

Beautiful studio, extremely professional staff and super family oriented! Loved Lisa she’s has a heart of Gold. My fiancé and I visited Colorado a couple days for work. We scheduled an appointment a week prior, got there by cab (not knowing where we were). Lisa (owner) and her Mom were so good to us, they explained everything made sure we were very comfortable. Our floats were amazing, a little weird initially but once we loosened up it was great! It was a new experience for us, we felt so good afterwards. Our skin was silky smooth, my aches and pains were relieved. The rooms are squeaky clean, had complimentary shampoo, conditioner, a blow dryer and styling products. Lisa went above and beyond the call of duty she literally gave us a ride half way to our hotel. Dropped us off at an OUTSTANDING Mexican Resturant and told us how to get back to our hotel once rush hour traffic died down. They are doing a wonderful thing over at Healing Waters Float Studio. Treat yourself, we got more than just a float session. We gained new friends. We’ll definitely be back!

I absolutely love this place and love floating. I have floated three times now. Once I went to a different place and it was nice but felt like a gym. Then I found Lisa and healing waters. The energy when you walk in, is instantly relaxing. The rooms are spacious and comfortable and have everything you need.
The space is nice but what makes it is Lisa. She is sweet and kind and most of all caring. I found the place through groupon. After knowing I wanted to continue she helped figure out the package for me and helped me come up with a plan for my upcoming surgery. She truly cares about her clients and it’s evident.
Today I went for the second time at this location. I was sooooo stressed out. I couldn’t breathe, heart racing from a day of work drama and the thought of finals to complete for school when I got home. I can not explain the peace I felt after. I came home prepared to spend hours completing homework but relaxed. I know it is the float in general but healing waters makes it even better. Try it. You will not regret it!

They chose the low road.
We had a Groupon for two flotations reserved for my boyfriend and I, which my mother got my boyfriend for his birthday (cool!). We made the arrangements on the phone, and informed them we had a Groupon for two persons and set it up. All good and excited! Upon getting there, we were then informed that the Groupon, as noted in fine print, was only good for the same person two times, not two people at the same time as we had assumed (wish they would have mentioned that on the phone)! Since we don’t have a lot of money, I decided not to float as planned and just let him float instead since it was his birthday. No problem. Then, they then informed me that I still had to pay because of their cancellation policy, but that they would give me a discount and I could still float! (for the rate of the Groupon, which I was not allowed to use… shady!). Based on other reviews below, it seems they are used to this confusion on the part of their customers and take advantage of it, which suggests a lot about the owner’s business ethics.
After being forced to pay what I could not afford, I left and didn’t do the float. The financial and subjective distress the owner incited through the course of this transaction and the insensitive lack of flexibility on her part suggest that she’s clearly more interested in her client’s money than facilitating a positive experience for her clients and left me way too disturbed for the float. The fact is, they could have let us both do the float under the Groupon, which was for two float sessions. There was no one scheduled any time near the time as ours (I know because since I was too upset to float I said they could offer it to someone else after I paid for it, and they said there was no one else scheduled to come in) and it was an honest and understandable mistake on our part. Any reasonable business person who actually has their customer’s interest in mind and the success of their business would have understood the mistake and not thought twice about it, particularly since they had no one else coming in. Allowing me to float would have done no harm whatsoever to their business and they would have ended up with two repeat customers.
However, they chose the low road. While legally, they were in the right, morally, they leave a lot to be desired. They are much more concerned with getting money from potential clients than they are with providing an alternative and relaxing first time experience for the their new clients and making and retaining repeat customers.
Anyway, I like good vibes and good people and I found that lacking here, at least in terms of understanding and flexibility. So let them keep my money for the services I never took advantage of and I’ll do my floating elsewhere the next time I can afford it.
I would strongly recommend any of you considering a first time float here to go elsewhere to the many other Flotation businesses in the area that have gotten excellent reviews for your first or repeat experience.

The ambience and energy of the equipment and people here makes going here a very unique experience. I floated yesterday and afterwards stayed for 3 hours having deep conversations with people I had just met.

Lisa knows more about floating than anyone I have ever met. The rooms are exceptionally clean and everything you could possibly need to make your floating experience perfect is there. Showers are clean and have shampoo, conditioner and body wash, all quality products; not the kind that smells like old lady perfume, but the type that have a clean organic smell.
Lisa makes this place the best of all float shops I’ve been to, and I’ve been to 8 different places over the years I’ve floated. Thanks Lisa. PS– you are a wonderful compliment to the thin blue line.

I purchased a package of 3 sessions on Groupon and I wanted to wait until I completed all sessions to write a review. I went two weeks in a row and skipped a week and then finished my last (groupon session) yesterday.
I could not be more pleased with Healing Waters. I had great interactions with all of the staff I encountered, including Lisa, who could not have been more pleasant. I have tried all 3 rooms and developed my favorite. Lisa put a note in the computer for me so everytime I book they know what room not to put me in (it was just a personal preference there is nothing wrong with any of the rooms.)
As far as the environment. it is extremely CLEAN AND ORGANIZED. They take great care to make sure the tank is ready for you when you arrive. I’ve never even waited 5 mins to be put in the room.
I always shower before (as recommended) and after my sessions. They provide the towels, body wash, shamp/​cond, lotion, ect. I just bring deo and that’s it. In my opinion anyone upset with their selection is being silly. This is a business not your personal bathroom. Just bring your own supplies if that makes you happy.
I highly recommend Healing Waters and I already booked my session for next week. I’m not sure of the price I will pay now (I ll find out next when I go-​I didn’t ask last night what the price was. I guess I was too relaxed :) I plan to float once a week :)
Thanks Lisa and Healing Waters.

I really enjoyed my session yesterday! Adding the inversion table with binaural beats was an added bonus. The owner Lisa is very thoughtful with her offerings. Towels were provided, ear cleaner, clean showers, and a quick little introduction and education made my first experience very pleasant. It took me a little while to get used to relaxing in the buoyant water, but once I figured out how to relax it was very nice. Plus, my skin felt very soft and smooth after the session was over. I will definitely be back to do it again!

A couple years I was given a groupon for two visits to Healing Waters as a gift.
For many years I had wanted to try a sensory deprivation tank, or «float» as it is apparently referred to at this establishment.
I went in and while the place was dark and smelled odd and musty, it all seemed fairly new and legitimate. The owner, Lisa, seemed enthusiastic and friendly enough. She said she was previously in law enforcement and was chatty, but seemed intent on steering the conversation to make it about her. In that the business seemed fairly new it was understandable that she might want to self-​promote. Fortunately the phone rang so I waited quietly for my session. As I sat there she spoke at length with someone on the phone about her religious beliefs. In that I do not share her beliefs and this was supposed to be a professional environment, this made me somewhat uncomfortable.
I had my first session and it was mediocre at best. The room was cold and the towels smelled funky. I was not going to return, but I had a second session coming, so i took it a month or so later.
The problems began later when I started to get email from them. I tried using the unsubscribe link at the bottom of the emails, but the problem persisted. I called, Lisa apologized for the inconvenience and told me she would remove my name from her list and that would be the end of it.
I did not get any more spam for a while. Then after a few months it began again. I wrote an email. She said she had recently started using an email distribution service and that there must have been some mix-​up. She promised to fix the problem.
The emails stopped and it has been over a year. Then a couple days ago I again got spam from Healing Waters. I wrote a short email asking her again to remove my name from her list. Her customer service response was rude and snarky: «Click the unsubscribe button at the bottom of your email. We cannot do that for you. Thank you.»
So apparently she has no control over her mailing list. Not quite the level of customer service one would expect, but I clicked the link in the spam, (hopefully) unsubscribed, and answered that the exact problem had happened before (assuming she would realize that repeating the same action would likely produce the same result). It was pretty much downhill after that. I finally asked to not to contact me anymore. She wrote back anyway and in the following emails she is outright offensive and rude. She ends her insults with «God Bless» as if that makes her abuse an acceptable business practice.
Her aggressive response to legitimate criticism from a customer who has had to request repeatedly that her business correct their mailing list, reminded me of Amy Bouzaglos (google it), just add an obsession with turtles.
I would recommend NOT getting involved with this business in any way.

I was able to have my first floatation experience when someone cancelled his/​her appt. The staff was very friendly and helpful in making your experience pleasant.
To set the mood, you lay on an inversion table and listen to binaural sounds thru the headphones. Then when you’re ready you go in the tank after taking a rinse. I was able to hear my heartbeat. It was kinda musty inside but that did not bother me coz it reminded me of my dive trips in Asia. I guess I just see the positive side of things when after all I was there for relaxation.

I did the 90-​minute session and was amazed with the energy and atmosphere of the whole experience.
I felt rejuvenated after I left. I would recommend this to anyone.

I have read some of the reviews for Healing Waters here on Unilocal,and noticed that the owner Lisa seems to respond defensively to critical reviews, so I don’t expect her to appreciate what I’m saying here but thought I’d give it a try.
I truly believe that this studio has a lot of potential, and if they executed just a couple things a little better, they would reach a lot more people and have a lot more repeat clientele.
There was a lot that was *almost* really good about this experience. The staff was very friendly and helpful, and the facility for the most part was clean, with a relaxing atmosphere. There were fresh towels and the shower was nice and hot. The binaural beats and inversion table were nice extras. However there were a few things that made it so that I will not return, nor recommend it to others.
First of all, I have to admit that we were late arriving, so they were trying to hurry up so that we would have more time to float. I appreciate this, but there are certain specific things that you should really mention to people who have never floated before, such as what the containers of drops are for (one was for your ears after the float so that the salt doesn’t recrystallize), and what to do if you experience any stinging (my friend ended up getting out of her tank after just a couple minutes because she was unaware that the stinging would eventually stop).
There was an unlabeled container of eye drops on the top of the tank that I definitely would have used if I’d known what they were, as I got a little salt water in my eye at one point which *burned*.
My biggest complaint, however, is about the smell of the tank. It smelled very musty in there, which I found surprising since nothing should be able to grow with so much salt in the water. But my nose doesn’t lie – it was musty. And it wasn’t just my tank, my friend who went with me mentioned the mustiness of her tank before I even said anything about that being my experience too.
Additionally, I appreciate that there was shower gel and shampoo available, but a studio that is specifically designed for *sensory deprivation* should really offer fragrance-​free soaps, or at least fragrance-​light. The smell was overwhelming after being in the tank. I’ve noticed that the owner Lisa pointed out to someone else who wrote a critical review that the shampoo and gel are offered as a «courtesy» but you must understand that without this «courtesy» extended to your clients, none of them would ever return. Certain courtesies are just part of your business, and telling someone to «just bring their own shampoo» if they don’t like yours is not a way to run a successful spa!
Anyhow, like I said, this place has a lot of potential and if they simply made sure their tanks were not musty and trained their employees to be Absolutely sure to mention a small list of things to new clients, I would definitely return.
Hope this is helpful!

My mom and I had our first float yesterday. Ricky greeted us and was very pleasant. We truly appreciated his tutorial on using the machine and how to go through the overall process. The rooms were very clean and the small details were a nice touch.
Two things I was not a super fan of:
1. The inversion table! I am a very busty woman and I felt strangled. (The music was nice though!)
2. The flooring reminds me of a pool deck — personally, very uncomfortable. My recommendation would be to bring flip flops. They have great mats in front of the shower and tank, so you can avoid bare feet on the floor altogether.
Thank you for the pleasant experience.

In response to owner Lisa L.‘s comment on my original review:
Wow, what a horrible reply! Lisa, you called me judgmental, nasty, impossible to please, and other unkind and untrue things. What I am is a person with a serious chronic illness. That is why I am chemical sensitive.
The sad fact is, when I left Healing Waters, I felt sicker than when I came in. I think others who are in a vulnerable state of health should know about my bad experience before making the decision to visit your «medical spa.» That’s what Unilocal is for.
I am actually very surprised that you aren’t more concerned about it. I do think there are certain responsibilities that come with calling your business a medical spa. Sick people like me deserve your respect and consideration, not your excuses and insults.
I am changing my rating to 1 star because of your snotty reply. I hope other Unilocalers will read the comment you left and see for themselves how you failed to take my health concerns seriously.

I had heard about float tanks from a documentary on Vice, and found the one nearest to me. I was lucky to have a 2 for 1 Groupon as well.
The place is well kept and Lisa, the owner, was very friendly, accommodating, and informative as I had never done one before and had no idea what I was doing. She went through the whole «orientation» and it was time to get going.
I did the exact amount of time on the hanging decompression thingy, but if I go back I know to do that for only a couple minutes and get to the float tank right away.
Inside the buoyancy takes a few minutes to get adjusted to but once you do it is wild. You feel weightless. I have a very active imagination and was told that the sensory deprivation inside the tank can lead to vivid «hallucinations» and visions. While it’s true I began to experience things it was hard to tell them between the dream like state I was slipping into due to how relaxing the tank was, or if they were actual closed eye visuals brought on from my mind racing in overtime. Either way it was awesome. The darkness began to invert and white shadows would appear and collapse and appear again. My vision culminated in this static image, burned into my mind, of 9 men with blank boxes for heads, hands outstretched holding spinning cubes. No words were said but I understood them. And then… The time was up! The alarm slowly brings you back to reality, much like the music played in Inception to alert everyone that the kick was coming.
Reintegration process was strange and left me wanting more. I showered but was still inside my head and inside my vision. I wanted more. My body felt heavy and cumbersome. The documentary I saw had the guy in the tank for 6 hours. That might be a tad excessive but I know 1.5 is too short.
