HER STORY ⟡ Degree Wellness Lewis Center
Today, we are meeting Degree Wellness Lewis Center!
Why I joined Degree Wellness:
I started focusing more intentionally on my own wellness by adding sauna and cold plunge to my routine. I also discovered red light facials and used red light therapy to help heal a tennis injury. I found Degree Wellness when looking at other opportunities, and loved the idea of helping others feel their best. I looked at a lot of brands that offered one or two recovery and longevity services. Degree has so much to offer in ONE place! Our first studio is in Lewis Center, where I live with my three sons and husband.
What I love about being a business owner:
I get to bring people together and build teams around a shared vision. I’m passionate about creating hospitality that feels unexpected and genuine, with thoughtful details that make people feel truly appreciated. I value the flexibility and ownership over my time.
What type of impact do you hope to have on those you meet and/or who purchase your products?
At Degree Wellness, we believe self-care isn’t a luxury; it’s essential. Longevity, recovery, and proactive wellness should be accessible, normalized, and prioritized; not reserved for a select few or treated as an afterthought. The goal is to shift the mindset from reactive care to intentional, sustainable well-being, making it easier for people to show up stronger, clearer, and more balanced in every area of their lives.
Who or what inspires you?
I’m inspired by children and their silliness — the way they move through the world with curiosity and lightness. I’m inspired by parents and their grit, and also by people who pour that same dedication and care into their careers, friendships, and communities. Commitment, in any form, is powerful.
I’m inspired by people who choose to be genuine and not self-important — the ones who lead with humility and kindness. And I deeply admire anyone who sticks to their routines. There’s something powerful about consistency and the discipline to keep showing up for yourself, whatever your goals.
I’ll give a big shout out here to our Lewis Center studio manager, Keila Hall, who is one of those inspiring women you just want to be around. She’s a mom of 3- one is currently on the way! She’s also a fitness enthusiast and trainer, an amazing mentor and boss, and a real champion for others. I can’t wait for our members to meet her and experience the excellence she surrounds herself with.
What is your favorite piece of advice you've ever received or favorite quote?
No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted.
What does BEAUTY mean to you?
Beauty, to me, is abundance in spirit. It is the quiet confidence that there is enough. Enough love, enough opportunity, enough light, and that worthiness is natural and shared. Beauty lives in the way we choose kindness, in the generosity of assuming positive intentions, and in giving freely. It is confidence without arrogance and a grounded belief in our own value that allows others to shine too. We all have to live in our own skin, in our own timing, on our own paths. Helping others along the way is equally as beautiful and necessary as accepting help from others.
What advice would you give your past self just starting your business?
I’d tell my past business self: do it again. You’re more prepared than you realize.
But I would also say to be patient and evaluate opportunities without rushing; not everything needs to happen at once. And prioritize your health. The days are long and the responsibility is real, so taking care of yourself can’t be an afterthought. It’s what sustains the work.
And honestly? I would’ve told myself to find a sauna, cold plunge, cryo and red light ten years ago — and stay consistent with it.
What would you like our Beauty Boost members to know?
Beauty Boost isn’t just about events or experiences; it’s about connection, collaboration and growth. That kind of community is special. There’s something powerful about being surrounded by people who genuinely support one another — especially women who uplift, encourage, and champion other women.
