What if the quietest place on earth could unlock the loudest transformation of your life?

In this episode, Anna sits down with long-time friend and floatation therapy evangelist Alissa Bestwick, aka @floatgirlofficial, to explore how float tanks (aka sensory deprivation tanks) offer one of the most effective, overlooked tools for ketamine integration and subconscious healing.

You’ll hear how Alissa found floating during one of the hardest chapters of her life and how it became a portal for personal transformation, creativity, trauma resolution, and nervous system reset. If you’ve ever wondered what float tanks are, how they work, or why they matter for people healing through psychedelics, this one’s for you.

In this episode, we cover:

  • How floating mimics psychedelic states (without substances)
  • What to expect during your first float and and how to get the most out of it
  • Floating as a powerful tool for ketamine integration
  • How float tanks can help with trauma, anxiety, chronic pain, and creativity
  • Why sensory deprivation is anything but boring
  • Float tanks + psychedelics: could this be the future of healing spaces?
  • Tips for overcoming discomfort and building stillness tolerance
