About Zephyr
Zephyr Float began as a simple idea: create a peaceful sanctuary where the body and mind can truly rest, heal, and reset. Located in Kingston, NY, right in the heart of the Hudson Valley, our float and massage spa was built around the belief that everyone deserves a quiet space to unwind, reconnect, and breathe again.
In April of 2024 Zephyr Float was acquired by Veronica Sedda, a friend and co-worker of the original owner Olga Schoonmaker. Veronica, with the help of her partner Rick, is intent on continuing the Zephyr Float legacy as a place where their clients feel relaxed and at home. We are deeply committed to creating a sense of community and well being with our clients and our neighbors, by providing healthy, relaxing and beneficial services to all those who enter our doors. Zephyr Float exists to provide scientifically proven methods to reduce the power of stress over the human body, alleviate chronic pain and better oneself through introspective learning in an accessible manner to all those who seek it.
Why Zephyr Float Started
Our founder realized how rare it is to experience real stillness, the kind that lets your nervous system settle and your mind truly quiet down. In a world of constant stimulation, stress, and noise, we wanted to build something different. Zephyr Float was created to offer access to deep relaxation and restorative therapy, blending sensory-deprivation float sessions with skilled, therapeutic massage work.
What began as a passion for holistic wellness has become a community space built for rest, recovery, and reconnection.
Where did the name Zephyr come from?
Zephyr was the Greek god of the west wind, which was considered the gentlest wind. The warm west wind indicated the coming spring season awaking the Earth after winter. Even today the name of the god is used to indicate a warm and light breeze.
Our Vision & Philosophy
At Zephyr Float, our philosophy is rooted in the power of calm. We believe:
Stillness is essential for mental clarity, emotional balance, and physical healing
Wellness should address both the body and the mind
Float therapy and massage work together to create deeper rest and recovery
A peaceful environment can help you reset your entire system
Everyone deserves access to stress relief, relaxation, and a sense of renewal
The name Zephyr comes from the Greek god of the gentle west wind, a symbol of warmth, renewal, and calm. That feeling guides everything we do here, from our float therapy to our massage experiences. Every detail is designed to help you find stillness in a world that rarely slows down.
Our Journey
In 2024, long-time Zephyr Float Spa employee Veronica, along with her partner Rick, became the new owners - continuing the beautiful vision that founder Olga Schoonmaker started: a place where people can rest, recharge, and feel genuinely cared for.
Since opening Zephyr's doors in Kingston, NY, we've welcomed people from across Ulster County, the Hudson Valley, and the Catskills. First-time floaters, weekend travelers, athletes, people experiencing chronic stress, and long-time wellness seekers all come here for one shared reason: to feel better.
Over the years, we've expanded our offerings, refined our float and massage experience, and continued to grow alongside the local community. Our commitment remains the same: to provide a clean, calming, and restorative environment where you can step away from the world and return to yourself.
Zephyr Float Spa is a community destination for wellness and recovery - created to help you slow down, reconnect, and rediscover balance.
