Align Float Pods & Massage
Hey I'm Jude. I am wairarapa born and reside here with my husband and four children.
I started massaging ten years ago when I learnt the benefits of massage on my own body and wanted to share that with others.
Massage is beneficial physically, metally and emotionally, allowing people to restore and revive their mental and physical wellbeing.
Align massage is deep tissue massage to release muscle tension and help to realign muscle and connective tissue.
Understanding the benefits massage can have on anatomy and physiology, as well as the holistic benefits, I am excited to work with you towards better health and wellness at Isme Permanent Cosmetics.

If you answered yes to any of these a Float pod is for you!
A Float Pod, also called an Sensory deprevation tank, is used for restricted environmental stimulation therapy (REST). It is a dark, soundproof tank that is filled with a foot or less of water condensed with Epsom salts.
The water in a float pod is heated to skin temperature and saturated with Epsom salt (magnesium sulfate), providing buoyancy so you float.
You enter the tank and are cut off from all outside stimulation, including sound, sight, and gravity. As you float weightless in the silence and darkness, the brain enters into a deeply relaxed state.
Sensory deprivation tank therapy is said to produce several effects on the brain, ranging from hallucinations to enhanced creativity.
There is some evidence that sensory deprivation may improve focus and concentration, and may also lead to clearer and more precise thinking. This has been linked to improved learning and enhanced performance in school and different career groups.
The various effects of sensory deprivation tank therapy on athletic performance proven to have a positve effect in speeding up recovery after strenuous physical training.
