Justin Morgan-Parmett spent three decades as a competitive debate coach, which often led to him experiencing sensory overload. After he was diagnosed with fibromyalgia, a chronic condition causing widespread body pain, Morgan-Parmett found relief floating in a dark tank of water saturated with 700 pounds of Epsom salts at Satori Float and Mind Spa in Shelburne. Quiet time in the tank helped him reset his nervous system and calm his mind, he said.
When Satori’s owner retired, Morgan-Parmett bought the float tanks and opened Float Away Wellness Spa in Williston in January.
In her latest episode of “Stuck in Vermont,” Seven Days senior multimedia producer Eva Sollberger visited the spa and tried a few floats.
