A quick check-in

Wired and tired, all at once?

When rest isn't enough, there's often a time frame underneath where the pressure was high and the support wasn't there. Take a minute to see where you're at.

1 · What is your body doing right now? Choose as many as you like.

2 · Which feels most true? Choose as many as you like.

3 · How long has it felt like this?

Pick at least one in 1 and 3 to see it.

Nothing here is saved or sent. If you're in crisis right now and need support today, call or text 1737 any time.

A pioneering pairing

From burnout to back at work in four weeks.

Katie, 40, is a junior doctor and single mum. She came in on stress leave, ready to leave medicine. She had three Havening sessions, then three floats.

By the last session she was back at work, could ask her team for support, and her joy in medicine was returning.

See all of Katie's results

Her overall wellbeing went from lower than 90% of her peers to 77% above them. She felt neutral around the colleague who had upset her, and had more time and compassion for her son and her patients.

Measured with the Mayo Wellbeing Index. One person's experience, shared with permission. Everyone's path is their own.

How Relief works

Your body holds what it couldn't process.

When the pressure was too much and the support wasn't there, those time frames can get stuck on a loop, keeping you on edge and guarded. What your body wants is calm, connection and presence.

01 · Haven

Clear

75 minutes · with Kamaia

Together we find when and where those time frames are stored. Slow, soothing light touch tells your body it's safe, so what's been stored can finally be processed.

Floating weightless in the tank
02 · Float

Settle

60 minutes · on your own

Then you float like a relaxed mermaid in space. No light, no sound, no gravity. With nothing left to guard, your body can finally let go.

After the journey

What often returns

✦Energy returning

Deeper sleep, and energy that lasts the whole day.

✦Calm under pressure

Busy days and difficult people stop setting you off.

✦Present again

More connection with your work, your people and yourself.

Everyone's experience is their own.

Who you'll be with

Kia ora, I'm Kamaia.

Float changed my life. As a medical student and float host here, it was one of the first places my hypervigilant nervous system felt safe enough to switch off.

When I added Havening, we found where that alarm came from: hospital experiences I hadn't been able to process. Havening released it, the float held it. Magic and miracles happened.

I went on to qualify as a doctor, open Whangārei's only float centre, and train mental health professionals in Havening. I'm so excited to join the Float Culture team again this November.

Good to know

Questions, answered.

What does Havening feel like?

Calm and gentle. You sit fully clothed while I use slow, soothing light touch on your upper arms, palms and face, with simple prompts like counting or humming. Most people feel lighter or a little sleepy afterwards, a lovely lead into a float. Havening was developed by Dr Ronald Ruden, a physician and researcher. More about Relief →

Do I have to talk about what happened?

No. Havening can work without you sharing the details. You just need to know which moment you're bringing to mind.

I've never floated. Is that okay?

Absolutely. The Float Culture team will show you around, and you're in control the whole time. You can leave the light on, keep the door open, or step out whenever you like.

What happens on the call?

It's 20 minutes online with me. We talk about what's been going on, you get a feel for how Havening works, and we see together if this journey is right for you. There's no pressure to book.

Is this a replacement for therapy or medical care?

No. It's a gentle addition that works alongside whatever support you already have. If anything comes up that needs more, I'll help you find the right next step.

Six places · From 10 November
