FLOAT Boston is the largest and oldest float tank center in the metro area. We opened in February 2015 in Magoun Square, Somerville, MA. Our mission is to offer float therapy for wellness and stress relief. Let it go.
Founders
Sara Garvin
She’s a graduate of Kalamazoo College and the Chicago School of Massage Therapy, and has over twenty years of professional experience in the massage and spa industry. From 2010–17, she was the sole owner of her successful practice, Somerville Therapeutic Massage. She is deeply motivated by the health and well-being of all of her clientele.
Colin Roald
He used to be an astronomer, and has a small tattoo of the Sun on his arm to prove it. He also used to be a technical project manager, and quit that to take a run at founding his own business. When that didn’t work, he did it again. It’s working better this time. He throws a lot of himself into his work: he believes in choosing what he does and owning what he makes.
