SolVita began with a personal health crisis. After hidden mold exposure disrupted my health and nervous system, I went looking for real answers — not just quick fixes. Chad and I saw something in that search worth building on, and together we opened SolVita Wellness Spa in Tigard, Oregon.
The idea was to speak to the nervous system — to make everything feel like a hug for it. The red-light therapy, the sauna, the massage.
We built a space designed not just for treatment, but for connection — somewhere overwhelmed people can slow down and remember what peace feels like.
