This was never just a business.
It’s a practice.
The tank changes people. Not in the way a much needed spa treatment or little more relaxation gives us temporary relief. In the way that silence, held properly, changes everything. How our baseline and way of being can completely shift to something new. The Float Practice exists because I believe the people who build these spaces deserve the same quality of support they give to every person who steps into the water. I have been provided with a unique position and all of this is built to honour that along with what floating truly is.
The philosophy that runs
beneath everything we build.
“Everything we do here is about letting go. Surrendering. Trusting. Coming home to yourself. Connecting to Source — whatever that means for you.”
Having the faith to step into the unknown. Being your whole, authentic self — so that you become a lighthouse and a beacon of hope, inspiration, and light for others to do the same. That’s what floating unlocks. That’s what the art is about. That’s what the business is built on. It all comes from the same place: coming home.
My first float changed the direction
of my life forever.
My body became so relaxed in this very unique space (no light, no sound, no pressure on the body) just floating effortlessly on the water. Perfect stillness for a moment. And then my body twitched. A small thing, a shoulder, barely noticeable. But the water moved and made small waves. And something came up that I hadn’t been able to reach any other way.
When I was a young teen, I almost drowned. And suddenly I was back in that moment, tumbling underwater unsure of where I was or what was happening.
Instead of being triggered... instead of reaching for distraction, or having it amplified into something worse — I was able to just sit with it. See it from a perspective I never had before. And let it go. In sixty minutes of this very strange, unique experience.
That was over 500 hours of floating ago. What started as one float became a daily practice that I’ve been fully committed to ever since — and everything I build comes from my practice. This work comes from 14 years in the tank. View the full practice log.
Artist. Catharsis. Floating.
Then advisor and architect.
Before I ever advised someone on their business, I spent years building my own businesses and community-based social enterprise projects in therapeutic art, art therapy, mental health, psychology, spirituality, trauma, and men’s work. Work that lived at the intersections of healing, the self and building something real.
That background is what lets me see what’s actually happening with floating — not just the revenue metrics, but the true potential. It informs how I guide owners, and how I help them guide their clients from a trauma-informed, holistic perspective. The body stores things. Floating helps people access them in one of the safest ways possible with the right guidance. When an owner understands that deeply, everything about how they run their center shifts. They provide the space where someone’s entire life can shift for the better, forever.
My own healing journey, my own float practice — that’s the core foundation underneath all of it. It has to come from the owner first. They have to surrender and let go in the tank. That’s where the philosophy starts.
Building free immersive
healing spaces.
A self-funded, free, immersive healing experience that is solo, private, and interactive, directly inspired by the float tank. What started as a conversation with my own inner child through painting evolved into something I never planned: a guided journey that others could walk into.
The soul is in the pieces. People feel it in person in a way that doesn’t translate through a screen. There’s a lot of emotion built into this space and it’s been beautiful to see people having a release, reconnecting with their own inner child. There’s so much value in being childlike. What that really means — not only for us, but for our friends, our loved ones, our communities. Watch the 4 min. short doc below.
“You can hold the sacred and the sustainable at the same time.
One funds the other. Neither compromises the other.”
Everything goes back
into floating.
When a float center owner builds the OS with us, the revenue doesn’t just sustain your business and ours. It funds immersive healing spaces. It produces professional resources and deep insights that the entire industry can use. It goes back into floating — every time.
The practice radiates outward... from the owner, through their center, into their community, and out into the collective. A ripple effect we cannot begin to fathom.
The Silent Revolution
We self-fund and professionally produce resources that float centers can use to educate their communities. Two commercials. Six individual stories — from first-time floaters to people with eight years of practice. These were developed for our clients back in 2023 and were part of our initiative to create the first World Float Day. They’re real, powerful stories about what happens when people give themselves permission to be still.
Six individual stories — from a first-time floater to people with years of practice. Real, powerful accounts of what happens when you give yourself permission to be still.
Produced in partnership with our friends at Haven Creative Space. These are shared freely on our YouTube channel. Any float center owner can share or reference them to educate their community. The plan is to keep producing more — going deeper into the communities where floating is making the biggest difference.
A pattern of building things
that serve the industry.
This is the beginning.
More immersive healing spaces. More professionally produced stories. A float tank at home. Going deeper and getting more owners completing the 30-day challenge. Deeper work in communities where floating can make the biggest impact. Setting stronger foundations and systems to make every future build and launch easier. The vision isn’t fully formed yet — and that’s deliberate. What matters is the direction: more access, more depth, more proof that floating is something far bigger than a spa service.
Every build we do with a float center owner funds the next step.
Bryce & Emm
I spent 14 years inside this tiny, niche industry that’s full of heart and still so early. Floating in the tank. Educating and selling people on trying their first float. Sitting with every broken system, every missed opportunity, every owner who poured their soul into a space and then watched the business slowly erode what made it beautiful. The pattern was always the same. The foundation was missing.
Halfway through my first 30-day float challenge — inspired by Glenn Perry’s challenge at the Float Conference — I had my first date with Emm. About 14 days into the deepest commitment to my own practice that I’d ever made. That’s not a coincidence. That’s what happens when you’re floating regularly and in your practice. Connected to Source.
Emm is now my fiancée and joined The Float Practice in 2026 as Director of Operations. She brings the structure that lets the work scale without losing what makes it matter. The Float Practice OS is the system that should have existed from the beginning but needed time to form — and now it has two people behind it who are building this from the same, strong foundations.
To more calm,
