Our Story
From a vision of healing to a growing nonprofit serving veterans and communities across Florida
Our Mission
Flow Fwd Inc. was founded with a singular, powerful purpose: to provide free access to evidence-based wellness therapies for military veterans struggling with PTSD and others in need of mental health support. We believe that healing is possible, and that every person deserves access to the tools and spaces that support their recovery.
Our organization operates as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, committed to serving the Fort Myers, Florida community and beyond. We are building a dedicated facility that combines three powerful healing modalities, float therapy, infrared sauna, and cold plunge therapy, in a serene, supportive environment.
Our Roots
Flow Fwd continues a mission that began on Florida's Emerald Coast. Float Brothers Float Spa, founded in Destin in 2016, pioneered float therapy in the region and created a dedicated Patriot Theme Float Room for veterans and active service members. In 2019, our founder Michael Hineline took ownership, and in 2023 established Flow Fwd Inc. as a nonprofit to carry that work forward. We are now relocating to Fort Myers to build our own dedicated facility.
Our Values
Dignity
Everyone who comes to us will be treated with respect and compassion, never means-tested.
Access
Our services are always free. We remove the financial barrier to healing entirely.
Evidence
We rely on therapies studied for PTSD, anxiety, depression, and chronic pain.
