Mother’s Day hits different for everyone.
For some, it’s all love and celebration.
For others, it’s layered: grief, gratitude, love, absence - and sometimes guilt or even resentment - maybe all at once.
Wherever you fall on that spectrum today, just know we see you, and we’re sending love your way 💙🧡🩵
This is my 22nd Mother’s Day without my mom (but who’s counting 😉).
She wasn’t here when Float8 came into my life, but in a lot of ways, she’s still the reason it exists.
She shaped who I am.
And through a bit of financial legacy, she helped make this possible.
But here’s the part I don’t talk about much…
It wasn’t until I found floating - about 10 years after she passed - that I finally slowed down enough to actually process it.
My healing didn’t really start until then.
That’s a big part of why this matters so much to me.
And why being in the center today, facilitating floats, is how I stay connected to her.
Because I know what it’s like to carry something for a long time without even realizing how much it’s still there.
And I know what it feels like to finally exhale.
I’ll be sharing a couple old photos of us today. Grateful for her. Always.
To the moms, thank you.
To those missing their moms, I’m right there with you.
And to anyone needing a little extra care today…consider this your reminder to take it.
If you want a peaceful reset, we might still have a couple floats open today.
And our Mother’s Day gift card special wraps up tonight.
Either way, sending Float8 vibes your way today.
💙🧡🩵

Is anyone else as into Star Wars as me right now?
This Clone Wars arc with Yoda…
Maul: Shadow Lord finale tonight…
and The Mandalorian & Grogu hits theaters in a couple weeks.
Good time to be a fan.
One scene that floored me when I first saw it:
Deep in Clone Wars season 6, ~120 episodes into the series, Yoda uses a sensory deprivation chamber to quiet everything, go inward, and get clarity before a big decision.
Not exactly your typical Jedi move...but it makes a lot of sense.
When you remove the noise, things get clearer.
That’s the whole idea behind floating.

If you've never floated before and are ready to give it a try, shoot me/Float8 a DM, and we'll give you a galactic deal.
May the Force Be With You

Being a healer, a space-holder, a doula…
I’ve learned that pouring into others requires intentional pouring back into yourself.
Decompression isn’t optional… it’s sacred. 🤍
For me, that looks like stillness…
floating…
releasing…
coming back home to myself.
In a world that constantly asks for more,
I choose moments that give back to me.
What are your tools to come back to yourself? 💭
If you’ve been feeling called to try something new,
I highly recommend experiencing a float session—especially with @float8ion .
It’s one of the most powerful ways I reset my mind, body, and spirit.

One of my happy places ✨
Floating in magnesium in Fort Lauderdale… the most relaxing way to reset your body and mind. It helps me sleep deeper, meditate easier, and completely disconnect from stress 💧

As a medspa owner, I see so many women focused on doing more—
more workouts - more restriction - more pushing…
But no one talks about the power of down-regulation.
As a WOMAN - Your body is NOT designed to thrive in a constant state of stress.
When your nervous system is always “ON” your hormones follow:
→ ⬆️ Cortisol
→ Your body STORES fat
→ Cravings ⬆️
→ Fat loss STOPS
And here’s the part most people miss…
Your body will literally down-regulate (aka turn down sensitivity) to protect you when it feels overwhelmed.
Meaning:
The harder you push, the less your body responds.
Real, sustainable weight loss happens when your body feels SAFE.
That’s why I always emphasize:
✨ Less Stress & More Balance
✨ Sleep & Femininity
✨ Habits that support the body—not stress it
Because when your body is balanced, your hormones work with you… not against you.
This is exactly why I explore treatments like float therapy @float8ion —because healing isn’t just external, it’s internal too 🤍
