Hot/Cool/Restore Cycle
(Thermal Hydrotherapy)
There are many benefits to spending time in the sauna. It’s an ancient practice that continues to stand the test of time. Pair a sauna bath with a float, massage, or both, for even more benefits! Your heart, circulation system, immune system and skin will thank you!
What is the Hot/Cool/Restore Cycle?
This cycle uses heat (from a sauna) and cooling off (from a cool, not cold, shower) to provide invigorating and therapeutic benefits, that help the stress melt away…
Research
The Mayo Clinic has summarized important research on sauna use and the many health benefits.
This article summarizes the benefits of consistent sauna use.
We offer:
- 30-min Boost Sessions
- 60-min Deep sessions
(Please note that Members get a preferred rate for sauna time, ask us for all the details!).
How do you do the cycle?
The cycle is done in 3 steps. We book your Hot/Cool Cycle time slot for 30 or 60 minutes.
- Heat: We recommend that you spend about 5-15 minutes in the sauna. This will help your body to loosen up and tension to begin to melt away. Use your comfort level to gauge how long you remain in the sauna. (If you feel dizzy or lightheaded, it’s your body’s way of letting you know you’re done, please make your way out slowly and carefully).
- Cool Down: The next step is to cool off with a short shower in tepid to cool water for 10-15 seconds. Use your own preference for what temperature you make the water. Having a very cold shower when you are very warm from the sauna may feel great, but if you have a history of blood pressure issues or heart disease, cool down gradually with more tepid water.
You can repeat Steps 1 & 2 as many times as you’d like within your booked time slot. For most people this is 3 times for the BOOST session and 4-5 for the DEEP session, this will depend on your booked appointment time and on how long you stay in the sauna. Whether you do BOOST or DEEP sessions, always end with a cool shower. - Restore: After you repeat Steps 1 & 2 as many times as you’d like, we highly recommend that you dedicate time for a restorative rest to maximize the benefits your body is experiencing from the Hot/Cool Cycle.
Some options for the restorative step are:
- Book a Float. Make sure you book ahead to ensure you will have a time slot.
- Book a Massage with one of our amazing Registered Massage Therapists. The sauna and Massage combo feels great!
- Book a Float + Massage Combo and it includes a FREE 30 min sauna!
- Spend some time in our relaxing lounge, drink some tea and do some deep breathing. (*Please note that the lounge is one person only, or a ‘bubbled companion’ only, at this time–please ask us ahead if time if it is available).
- Attend a restorative yoga class. There are several in person and online classes available. Ask us for recommendations.
- Meditate. There are many online or recorded guided mediations available. If you would like to meditate with us, please check our schedule ahead of time for Guided Meditation sessions. (*due to the current situation, we are not offering in person sessions at this time but hope to in the near future).
- Have a nap or do the cycle in the evening before you head to bed for the night. Just be mindful that for some people the cycle makes them feel very energetic so check in with yourself and plan accordingly.

Cold Plunge
{Cold Water Immersion}
Cold water therapies have been practiced for centuries and the benefits have been documented more concretely in the last decade. Cold water therapy is when the body is immersed in cold or ice water to stimulate health benefits. Forms of cold therapy include ice baths, cold showers, cold water immersion, cold pools or cryo-chambers. At Surface Float we offer cold water immersion (also known as cold plunging) in a specialized tub.
A systematic review of 104 studies, by researchers from UiT The Arctic University of Norway and from the University Hospital of North Norway, found strong evidence that cold-water swims and therapies based on them offer significant physical and mental health benefits.
- Produces feelings of joyfulness, suggesting the practice has “a positive effect on mental health and brain development.”
- Has significant improvements in overall cardiovascular health
- Triggers a “shock response” that stresses the cardiovascular system and elevates the heart rate –similar to a HIIT workout providing the body with similar benefits to exercise
- Can help reduce cholesterol
- Can help modulate a healthy immune response
- Can help treat autoimmune inflammation
- Can help ease pain
- Can help speed recovery from injuries
- Can help promote athletic recovery, but it’s not beneficial for only athletes
- Boosts the body’s stores of “brown adipose tissue” (BAT), a type of “good” body fat activated by low temperatures. BAT burns calories to maintain body heat, which can lead to weight loss, unlike “bad” white fat which stores energy and hikes obesity risks
- Boosts BAT’s production of adiponectin, a protein that helps protect against insulin resistance, diabetes and other diseases
- Greatly increases insulin sensitivity and decreases insulin concentrations. This is true for both inexperienced and experienced plungers
For these reasons and more, many people are taking up the practice and reaping the benefits!
Are you ready to take the plunge!?

Jen McCulloch, RMT
I was born and raised here in Fredericton and graduated from the Atlantic College of Therapeutic Massage in 2015. I am a member in good standing with the CMTNB and the ANBMT.
I am very excited to be joining the Surface Float family. I have always had a passion and love for helping people which has led me to the healthcare field.
Every client is a individual and I believe your treatment should be tailored to your individual needs. Whether you are dealing with chronic pain, an old or new injury or postural tension from sitting at a desk or standing on your feet all day. I also believe there is a great importance in helping those who are dealing with PTSD, anxiety, depression and stress.
My treatments can be anywhere from gentle and relaxing to deeper pressure pin pointing your specific muscle needs.
I have training in hot and cold Stone therapy, pregnancy, myofascial release, Trigger Point therapy, Aromatherapy and essential oils, Reiki level 1 and 2, Gua Sha and basic cranial sacral. In the near future I hope to include cupping, TENS and taping for those who are interested.
I am looking forward to meeting new clients at this beautiful new space, and I always appreciate the support of my long term clients who have been with me since I started this journey.
We have 60-minute, 90-minute, float & massage combos, as well as memberships available through our store.
