You may be using your phone to wake up for a morning of indulgence at Meredith Whole Living Center, but unplugging is highly encouraged once you step foot into this sanctuary. The center is fully equipped with wellness treatments, including a float tank — a lightless and soundless tank filled with highly concentrated Epsom salt-infused water, allowing you to effortlessly float and easily move into a deep meditative state. They also have an infrared sauna that heats the body, promotes detoxification, is proven to increase collagen production and metabolic function, and alleviates pain. Book their Head to Toe Glow package that combines the anxiety-reducing and pain-relieving features of their System Reset package with the best clinical facial on the market. Enjoy a full-body sweat cleanse in the sauna, followed by an Epsom salt immersion (in over 900 pounds of Epsom salt!) in our float tank, followed by a revitalizing Hydrafacial. Take this as an opportunity to tap into your intuition and see what your body is asking for.
