We provide a non-judgmental environment by listening and tailoring our services to help you heal however best serves your needs.
My name is Dana Highfill, and I’m the owner of Float North. I have spent much of my life recovering and healing from the stresses and traumas of our modern world and have created a sanctuary for others to do the same. As the saying goes, you can’t pour from an empty cup; when we fill our own cup, we can be there for others.
I’ve been a massage therapist since 2008. In 2006 I started a qigong and meditation practice and in 2011 I floated for the first time. That first float took me deeper than any meditation practice ever had, and I left feeling mentally and physically amazing. From that first experience, I knew that I wanted to open a float and massage therapy center.
Float North is a state-of-the-art wellness facility in NE Portland that serves all people who want to amplify their physical, emotional, and mental health. It took years of research, finding a location, getting funding, and seven months to build one of the most beautiful float centers in Portland.
