Description

Founded by tech entrepreneur Amanda Watts Lightcap and hedge fund manager Tom Lightcap, Degree Wellness is redefining the boutique wellness space with a data-driven, technology-enhanced approach to self-care. Backed by Franworth, the leader in sustainable franchise development, Degree Wellness offers a curated mix of services that blend heat, cold, light, and advanced nutrients—including cryotherapy, red light therapy, IV drips, cold plunges, compression massage, and more. With a rapidly expanding footprint and corporate investment in strategic markets like Jacksonville, Degree Wellness is primed for national growth.

Amanda’s personal battle with thyroid cancer in 2021 deeply informed the company’s mission. Using the very services Degree Wellness now offers—like cryotherapy to manage stress, red light to heal, and IVs for vitality—Amanda turned a health crisis into a brand devoted to holistic recovery, vitality, and longevity. Today, Degree Wellness empowers communities to live healthier lives through cutting-edge wellness technology, a strong infrastructure, and a purpose-driven story. Franchise with Degree Wellness and bring transformational self-care to your local market.
