About me- And How Blissful Float Spa Began

Hi, I’m Gosia — founder of Blissful Float Spa, mum of three, and passionate believer in the power of relaxation and self-care.

Some people in Kingston may remember me from The Tanning Shop Kingston, which I ran for around eight years. After becoming a mum, I decided to step away from the beauty industry to focus on raising my children during their most important early years. Alongside caring for my own family, I also built a childminding business — a role I truly loved.

Helping children grow, learn, and feel safe brought me so much joy and fulfilment. But as anyone working with children knows, life can also become incredibly busy and noisy! Between caring for little ones, managing a business, and everyday family life, I rarely took time for myself.

That changed when my husband gifted me a floatation therapy session for my birthday.

At the time, I had never experienced anything like float therapy before. I walked into the float pod feeling curious, excited, and honestly a little unsure of what to expect.

At first, I couldn’t completely switch off — I was fascinated by the calming lights and the whole experience felt so different from anything I had tried before.

Then something unexpected happened.

As the session continued, I slowly let go of the distractions and allowed myself to fully relax into the silence and weightlessness. For the first time in a very long time, my mind felt completely calm. I experienced a level of deep relaxation and peace that I didn’t even realise I needed.

I left the session feeling lighter, calmer, and mentally refreshed.

From that moment on, floatation therapy became part of my self-care routine. With every float session, I noticed the benefits more and more — reduced stress, better sleep, mental clarity, and a sense of complete reset from the demands of daily life.

The only problem was that there were no float spas nearby.

That’s when the idea for Blissful Float Spa was born.

I wanted to create a peaceful sanctuary in Kingston upon Thames where busy parents, professionals, teachers, carers, and anyone feeling overwhelmed could escape the stress of everyday life and truly relax.

After losing a valued member of my childminding team, I decided it was the right moment to scale down my childcare business and finally pursue my dream of opening a floatation centre.

Starting a completely new wellness business was definitely scary — especially introducing floatation therapy to people who may never have heard of it before. But I truly believe in the incredible benefits of float therapy for both mental wellbeing and physical relaxation, and I’m so excited to bring this experience to the Kingston community.

Today, Blissful Float Spa is more than just a business to me. It’s a calming space designed to help people slow down, recharge, and reconnect with themselves.

Whether you’re struggling with stress, anxiety, poor sleep, muscle tension, or simply need an hour of peace and quiet, I hope Blissful Float Spa can become your sanctuary too. 🥰
