Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Am I a good candidate for floating? What medical conditions should I tell the team about before booking in Berkeley?
Floating suits many people but is not recommended for those with uncontrolled epilepsy, active skin infections or open wounds, and certain severe cardiac or respiratory conditions. If you have recent surgery, serious anxiety about enclosed spaces, or take medications that affect consciousness or balance, tell us ahead of time. Lumina will ask you to complete a short health questionnaire and may request physician clearance for specific concerns.
How should I prepare for my first float appointment at the Berkeley studio?
Plan to arrive 10 to 15 minutes early to complete intake. Avoid shaving or waxing right before your appointment and skip heavy meals or excessive caffeine. Remove jewelry and contacts, and bring a comfortable change of clothes. Towels, earplugs, and basic toiletries are provided, and staff will walk you through the shower and float procedures so you feel comfortable.
Is it easy to get to Lumina Berkeley after work from San Francisco or Oakland, and what are parking options?
Many clients come after work from San Francisco and Oakland. The studio is convenient to downtown Berkeley transit lines, including BART and local buses, making it practical without driving. If you do drive, there is metered street parking and short-term lots nearby; evening visits tend to be easier for finding spots. We offer flexible evening appointment times to accommodate commuters.
I’m new to floating – what will I feel during and after my first sensory deprivation session, and are there any aftercare tips for driving or going back to work in Berkeley?
Most first-timers describe a sense of deep relaxation, reduced sensory input, and light floatation. You may feel calmer and more focused afterward, though some people need 15-30 minutes to fully reorient. Aftercare tips: hydrate well, avoid heavy meals or intense exercise immediately after, and allow 20-30 minutes before driving if you feel groggy. If you plan to return to work in Berkeley the same day, book a later afternoon session or leave a short buffer so you can transition comfortably.
I live in Berkeley – is it worth driving to Lumina in Schiller Park for my first sensory deprivation session, and do you make it easy for people who commute in from the west suburbs?
Yes – many clients travel from Berkeley and other west-side suburbs because Lumina focuses on a personalized, no-rush first visit. We offer a brief pre-float consultation so we can tailor the session to your comfort level, private float rooms with optional soft lighting or silence, and staff who walk new guests through the process. Schiller Park is easy to reach from the west suburbs via I-294/I-90 and the clinic is close to O’Hare and Rosemont, with on-site or nearby parking and flexible evening and weekend appointment slots for commuters. For first-timers, plan on roughly 75-90 minutes total (orientation plus a standard float); please let us know if you have uncontrolled seizures, severe claustrophobia, open wounds, or other medical concerns so we can advise or schedule a short pre-visit check-in.
