I chose Zen Blend after finding it on Citysearch. It was nearby and I was intrigued by the flotation tank. My fiance and I went in for the Relaxation Day for 2. It is really affordable for all the extras they provide. Kristi is very down-to-earth, very knowledgeable, and she has the gift of healing. My back was a mess and and she found all my tender spots and worked on them one at a time. The hot stones feel divine. The flotation tank seems intense at first but it is so peaceful inside. One hour in there felt like fifteen minutes. they provide everything you will need. Definitely do not shave any part of your body beforehand or it will sting like crazy. I had a small cut on my arm that I neglected to coat with the (un)vaseline they provided and it was really distracting for a while until the pain from the salt subsided. I had the massage first and then went in so I really think that helped my recently worked muscles heal whereas my fiance felt that having the float first made his muscles fully loose and relaxed to get maximum benefits from the massage. So I'm sure there are benefits to doing it in either order. Try it and you'll be back for more. I have recommended ZenBlend to all my friends.
