Degree Wellness
Degree Wellness, the brainchild of tech guru Amanda Watts Lightcap and her husband Tom Lightcap, a hedge fund manager, was created to provide the premier self-care experience. Prior to Degree Wellness, Amanda launched two tech startups specializing in retail, technology, and consumer goods. Degree Wellness offers innovative wellness solutions that have created the premier boutique wellness experience using heat, cold, light, and advanced nutrients. Our mission is to help communities everywhere live happier, healthier lives. Amanda’s personal journey with Thyroid Cancer in early 2021 brought her closer to the benefits of Degree Wellness services. Using cryotherapy to manage brain fog and stress, sauna for improved sleep, red light therapy to reduce scarring, and IVs to boost energy, Amanda transformed from feeling her worst to living her best. This personal experience fuels the brand’s commitment to holistic wellness. Degree Wellness is actively investing alongside franchisees, having recently opened its third location, with a fourth under development. We are committed to further developing markets like Jacksonville with corporate studios. Our current services include cryotherapy, infrared sauna, cold plunge, red light therapy, IV drips and IM injections, compression massage, oxygen, and non-invasive light facials. Degree Wellness is dedicated to spreading self-care and wellness through innovative, technology-driven solutions, supported by a robust infrastructure and an inspiring brand story. Join us in our mission to help communities live their healthiest lives!
