Modern society has created a situation where the human nervous system lives in a world of near-constant stimulation. Rarely does our brain and body have the opportunity to relax and disconnect from all this stimulation. As a result, chronic physical and mental health conditions have become ubiquitous, with over a quarter of the population suffering from pain, anxiety, depression, and other ailments exacerbated by stress. This website provides an overview of an emerging new technology known as Floatation-REST (Reduced Environmental Stimulation Therapy) that appears to powerfully counter the deleterious effects of stress in modern life. 

During Floatation-REST individuals effortlessly float on a bed of water that has been saturated with over a thousand pounds of Epsom salt. These specially designed float pools are constructed in rooms built to be soundproof and lightproof, and tightly calibrated so that both the water and air match the temperature of your skin. To learn more about the evidence base showing how floating in this unique environment can help improve both mental and physical health, please click here.

The Maui Calm Project is part of the Float Research Collective

Maui is in the midst of a massive mental health crisis due to the horrific trauma from the fires. The Maui Calm Project has been set up to provide a new type of disaster relief; a purpose built center to offer free Clinical Float Therapy for anyone on Maui who is suffering from the trauma of the fires.  Clinical float therapy is a safe and non-invasive treatment that has been shown to help people with trauma, anxiety and PTSD.  Built into shipping containers, these float centers can be rapidly deployed to Maui and placed near Lahaina in order to make the therapy as accessible as possible to everyone who has been traumatized.
