Lauren and Casey Cowgill opened Local Wellness at 2 Fairfield Blvd #9 in Ponte Vedra Beach just about three years ago. Despite neither of the two having much experience in the industry, the Cowgills were looking for something to invest in that would keep them connected to the community they love so much.
Lauren Cowgill, along with her partner in business and crime Stephanie Evans, researched the industry and ultimately decided to go with the wellness route as opposed to the medspa route.
“I’m really proud of the grassroots effort we’ve created,” Cowgill said. “It’s been so amazing to see how this place has grown. It’s been an amazing journey.”
Local Wellness offers a wide variety of treatment options tailored to making self-care possible, personalized, and a priority.
The facility is home to two saunas, a sauna pod and a sauna cabin, both geared towards detoxification, inflammation treatment, and muscle recovery. A Vodder Presotherapy machine is also an option, offering assistance with blood flow and lymphatic drainage, as well as a cryotherapy cabin, which happens to be one of the facility’s most popular services with student athletes in the area.
Local Wellness has a registered nurse on staff to administer IV therapy and other injectables, as well as microneedling and specialized facials. There’s a trained acupuncturist, nurse practitioner, massage therapist(s), and mental health counselor who also provide services out of the Ponte Vedra Beach facility.
“It’s a whole combination of different people in this industry who have all come together for a common cause,” said Cowgill.
In the few years since opening its doors, Local Wellness has provided relief and specialized services for hundreds of community members. Cowgill and her staff listen to what the community needs and will add services/treatments suited to assist, such as the hyperbaric chamber that’s set to open soon.
“Our clientele has been nothing short of phenomenal. They’re 100% behind us,” said Cowgill. “We’ve built the most amazing relationships with these people, and we consider them our friends and family.”
Local Wellness runs specials on treatments and services and encourages interested customers to follow them on social media for access to exclusive deals. Customers can also check out membership options on the business’s website.
