Float Doctor Celebrates 9 Years in Sheboygan
Wisconsin’s only certified Float Lab enters its 9th year of service.
SHEBOYGAN, WI–January 9, 2026–When Board Certified Psychotherapist and integrative health practitioner Elizabeth Heitzmann opened Float Doctor in Sheboygan, she could not have known that nine years later it would remain the only certified Float Lab in the state. What she did know was that she was searching for better answers for herself and for others. After years of managing nerve damage pain with medications and injections, Elizabeth began exploring integrative approaches that ultimately allowed her to step away from pain medications altogether. That personal experience became a driving force behind Float Doctor, which today is a recognized leader in integrative mental wellness, providing therapist guided care focused on helping people manage stress, restore balance, and improve overall well being.
“Given our success over the past 9 years, I wanted to expand my reach and help others outside of Sheboygan county to get the best from their float experiences. People do come from all over the country to use our facility and get personalized treatment that has made a tremendous difference and improvement in their lives,” Elizabeth said. “Mindfulness approaches and supplements that are tailored for each person in conjunction with our holistic services need to be available to more people to naturally heal their bodies and spirits.”
Over the years, Elizabeth has worked with thousands of clients navigating anxiety, chronic stress, pain, sleep challenges, and emotional overwhelm, many of them coming from great distances to experience her firm’s float therapy in conjunction to her other natural healing approaches and treatments.
Float Doctor offers a range of integrative wellness services, including float therapy, infrared sauna, zero-gravity massage, and personalized health consultations. These services are designed to support nervous system regulation, encourage deep rest, and help clients reconnect with their bodies in a way that feels safe, intentional, and sustainable. While float therapy is often what first brings people through the door, Elizabeth emphasizes that each service plays a role in a broader, individualized approach to care.
“What I see most often are people who are doing everything they can, yet still feel stuck in a constant state of stress or depletion,” said Elizabeth. “My work is about slowing things down, helping people understand what their bodies are telling them, and offering supportive options that actually fit into their lives. It’s amazing how a few simple things can make a big difference.”
Elizabeth brings clinical insight and education into every client interaction, helping individuals understand how different wellness tools may support their personal goals, rather than offering one-size-fits-all solutions. Clients are encouraged to ask questions, move at their own pace, and explore what feels most supportive for their needs.
While the center has long been a steady presence in the community, Elizabeth is now focused on helping more people understand the full scope of care available. With new educational resources, expanded consultation offerings, and community-focused initiatives on the horizon, Float Doctor continues to evolve as a trusted wellness resource for Sheboygan and the surrounding area.
Float Doctor provides evidence-based services that help clients reduce stress and inflammation, improve focus, and restore physical and emotional balance.
