Tell us about your business!
Degree Wellness Westfield is a modern, science-backed wellness studio focused on helping our community feel better, recover faster, manage stress, and look their best. We offer cryotherapy, infrared sauna, cold plunge contrast therapy, IV drips, red light therapy, compression, and oxygen bar services. Our goal is to make high-quality wellness and whole-body rejuvenation accessible to everyone in the community.
Sounds good to me! You’re currently under construction. When do you open?
Spring of 2026! I cannot wait to share our unique offerings. We blend recovery modalities with a warm, accessible, community-focused environment. We’re not a spa and we’re not a medical clinic—we sit right in the middle, offering results-driven services that help people feel better, recharge, and improve overall wellbeing in a welcoming and personal setting.
I could use all of that right now!
Yea. Many people don’t realize how quickly some of these services can help. Even one cryotherapy session can leave you feeling a little clearer or more energized that same day.
What inspired the name “Degree Wellness?”
Degree Wellness is a franchise, but my C-Corp—DaniDrew Wellness Partners Inc—is named after my children, Dani and Drew. They were the inspiration behind this entire journey. It was through them that I realized how much stress I was carrying, and how much I wanted to show up better—calmer, healthier, and more present. Wanting to become the best version of myself for them (and for me) is what ultimately led me to open this business.
What are you most proud of as it relates to owning your own business?
I’m most proud that I actually took the leap of faith to do this. For years I knew I needed a change, but making a major life pivot isn’t easy. Opening this business represents choosing growth, choosing health, and choosing a new path for myself and my kids.
