The Founders

Discover Our Story

Welcome to BioLIT Spa, where holistic health and rejuvenation converge to illuminate the path towards authentic well-being. Founded by Karen Ricci and Nicole Belanger, two entrepreneurs with a shared vision rooted in their personal journeys, BioLIT Spa is more than just a wellness center—it's a sanctuary for transformation.

Karen and Nicole's story began in the picturesque Saratoga Springs area, where both were raised. Though their paths briefly crossed, it wasn't until later, when they independently relocated to Bradenton and reconnected through social media, that their shared spirit and vision for creating a haven for healing ignited a partnership destined to redefine community wellness.

Karen, an event coordinator, and Nicole, immersed in the world of skin care and red-light therapy masks, found common ground in their quest for holistic solutions to health challenges. Karen's own experience with Hashimoto’s Disease fueled her passion for exploring the transformative potential of Red Light Therapy. What started as a personal journey to alleviate symptoms quickly evolved into a deep dive into the myriad therapeutic benefits of this non-invasive therapy.

Karen's remarkable results—both in terms of visible anti-aging effects and tangible health improvements—sparked a realization: there was a profound need for accessible, holistic wellness solutions in their community. Thus, BioLIT Spa was born—a labor of love infused with expertise, passion, and a commitment to genuine healing.

At BioLIT Spa, we believe in the power of holistic approaches to wellness, free from pharmaceutical dependencies and superficial fixes. Our comprehensive offerings include state-of-the-art Red Light Therapy treatments, including red, green, and blue light therapy beds (LITbed), infrared heated saunas (LITsauna), cold plunges (LITplunge), infrared heated yoga (LITyoga), and more. We also provide a range of events, from meditation sessions to educational workshops, designed to nurture the mind, body, and spirit.

Our mission at BioLIT Spa is clear: we're committed to creating transformative journeys through cutting-edge modalities, focusing on luxury, community, and elevating well-being through the synergy of advanced technology and holistic approaches. Our aim is to craft a sanctuary where individuals can rejuvenate their spirits and embrace wellness collectively.

Welcome to BioLIT Spa—where the light of healing shines brightly.
