If I Had a Million Dollars: Revolutionizing Wellness with Red Light Therapy in Michigan

Burton, MI – August 15, 2025 – Imagine harnessing the power of red-light therapy (RLT) to transform lives across Michigan, turning underutilized spaces into hubs of healing and vitality. That's the visionary plan from Red Light Therapy Spa LLC, doing business as Nurturing U Spa, a Burton-based wellness center dedicated to non-invasive, science-backed therapies. With a million-dollar investment, brother and sister owners Teri and Tracy Congdon aim to solidify the existing spa, expand to a new location in Belleville, and launch an ambitious education campaign to demystify RLT for the masses, whether through in-person sessions or at-home devices.

Red light therapy, a low-level light treatment using wavelengths like 633nm to 940nm, has garnered significant scientific attention for its potential health benefits. Studies show that RLT can improve skin complexion, reduce wrinkles, and enhance collagen production, resulting in smoother, more youthful-looking skin. It promotes healing by reducing inflammation, alleviating redness, acne, and scars, while also supporting cellular mechanisms that combat oxidative stress associated with aging. Additional research indicates benefits such as increased hyaluronic acid and elastin for improved skin elasticity, potential hair restoration for individuals with alopecia, and overall cellular rejuvenation without the need for invasive procedures. "RLT isn't just a trend—it's a natural, evidence-based path to better health, recovery, and performance," said Tracy G.J. Congdon. "If I had a million dollars, we'd make it accessible to everyone."

The plan begins with strengthening Nurturing U Spa in Burton, optimizing its current operations with enhanced RLT offerings to serve the local community more effectively. A key milestone would be acquiring Suite Studios at 573 E Huron River Dr, Belleville, MI 48111—a 2,200 sq ft commercial property ideally suited for wellness expansion, currently listed for $350,000 and zoned for business use. This new location would be outfitted with state-of-the-art equipment, including Da Vinci Medical's Super Human System: a comprehensive platform combining the TheraLight 360i full-body red light bed (delivering 165mW/cm² irradiance across four wavelengths), integrated Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) therapy for circulation and recovery, and the VO2 Pro Bagless Exercise with Oxygen Training (EWOT) system for peak performance.

Complementing this flagship setup would be two Contour Light body contouring systems, FDA-cleared devices using red and near-infrared light to non-invasively reduce waist, hip, and thigh circumference, aiding in fat loss and skin rejuvenation. Additionally, PowerPlate vibration platforms would be incorporated to boost calorie burn, muscle strength, flexibility, bone density, and lymphatic drainage through multi-directional vibrations—enhancing overall fitness and complementing RLT's benefits. The Belleville site would also feature additional wellness tools, creating a holistic biohacking haven for biohackers, athletes, and everyday wellness seekers.

A cornerstone of this expansion is education. Nurturing U Spa would invest heavily in community outreach, workshops, and online resources to educate the public about the science of RLT. "Whether visitors come to our spas for sessions or decide to purchase their own devices, our goal is empowerment through knowledge," added Teri Congdon. Programs would include free seminars, partnerships with local health stores like Ojibwa, and guidance on setting up at-home RLT setups to make wellness inclusive and sustainable.

This million-dollar dream isn't just about growth—it's about impact. To bring it to life, Nurturing U Spa is seeking investors, silent partners, grants, or sizable donations from those passionate about advancing natural health solutions.
