Directors

Who runs the centre

Dave and Sharon run Zero Gravity Float together.

Director

Dave

Dave is an ITEC-qualified massage therapist with a strong background in holistic and therapeutic treatments. His knowledge and experience shape the standards of care our therapists deliver.

His passion for floating began more than ten years ago, when he first discovered it in Australia. Today it remains one of his most important well-being practices, a space to reset his mind, body and nervous system, and to find time for contemplation and balance.

He is committed to creating exceptional experiences that help every customer feel cared for, supported and restored.

Director

Sharon

Sharon has been part of Zero Gravity Float since it opened on Model Farm Road in 2017, building the centre with Dave from the start. With a background in retail management and customer service, she brings warmth and experience to everything she does.

She looks after staffing, customer communication and the overall experience, so that everything runs smoothly behind the scenes and every visitor feels welcome. Her favourite time to float is a Friday afternoon, the best way she knows to unwind after a busy week.

Float facilitators

Your welcome and your float

Our facilitators greet you, explain how floating works and look after you before and after.

Float facilitator

Judith

Judith is an engineering student on a spiritual journey. She enjoys deliberations on culture and religion. She first walked into Zero Gravity Float knowing nothing about floatation therapy and hasn’t looked back since. She has found that a float is a good prescription after a mentally challenging time.

Float facilitator

Wali

Wali studies English in Ireland and comes from the beautiful lands of Iguazu. He has always worked with the public and enjoys exchanging ideas with people. He believes a smile can be the beginning of great things and always has a book in his hands. Wali can also help you in Portuguese or Spanish.

Float facilitator

Megan

Megan is a qualified acupuncturist with a genuine passion for wellness and helping others feel their best. She loves connecting with nature and spending time with friends and family.

Her passion for meditation led her to floating, which has deepened her practice and become an essential part of her self-care. Warm, friendly and always happy to chat, she loves making everyone feel welcome.

Pawel split his time between Zero Gravity Float and a music course at the Cork Academy of Music, where he played a bit of everything but mostly drums. He enjoys walks in nature, reading about psychology and self-development, and is a keen gardener.
