The OmFLOAT story begins in 2004 when Amy and Brooks Brinson purchased their first float tank, the seed of their business. (Tank Room 2 today)

The two were living in Dallas, Texas and Brooks was seeking reprieve from the symptoms of "busy mind meets modern day society". His high-stress managerial role in construction brought anxiety, agitation in crowds, and an unfocused mind. Amy's profession was in Clerical support, and she felt desk-related pain like tension in her back, shoulders, and neck.

"Floating", an emerging practice at the time, was known to support the three facets of the human experience; mind, body, and soul;
and it had come to the attention of Brooks.

Unfortunately, the closest center at that time was thirteen hours away.

With skills in construction and a tank for sale near to him, Brooks bought a Samadhi tank for Brooks' and Amy's personal use. Amy noticed the positive effects on Brooks and began floating - they both fell in love with the experience. Not only that, they discovered a rich pool of wisdom in the sensory deprivation community for it's emphasis on healing and self-discovery.

In 2012, Amy's profession brought the couple to Northern Virginia. While they fell in love with their new home, a need for floatation in their lives returned - but with more intensity. They set up their tank on it's own floor and posted the tank available to guests online. Their first visitor was a Marine from Quantico.

Brooks and Amy came to appreciate the unique and reliable ffects of isolation tank on special populations like veteran's and trauma survivors who came from many walks of life. Additionally, guest on a spiritual quest and interested in improving their meditation practice were engaging in colorful dialogues and experiencing positive benefits too.

The positive response from the surrounding community was overwhelming. Visitor by visitor, Amy and Brooks would witness complete transformation - sometimes in a single session with a guest and sometimes over time. The work with the community became a priority to them and led to their eventual transition to Brinson Life Services LLC, the parent to OmFloat, and the Brinson's outreach in the alternative medicine community began.

In March 2016, OmFLOAT - Ashburn was opened and has remained true to the spirit of its initiation ever since.

Their center now features five elegant and private rooms with Samadhi tanks, two meditation areas with custom visual and audio experiences, and Clearlight. Sancutary 2 Sauna.
