Divine Wellness’ searching for a new home after rent increase

Divine Wellness has resided at 33 S. Main St., Winter Garden, for 23 years. 

But the wellness center with vitamins, minerals and a spa with massages, will be leaving its location by Wednesday, April 1. 

The owner, Michele Miller, said it is leaving after her landlord informed her Sunday, March 1, the rent was doubling in cost, which is an expense she cannot afford. 

Miller said her center strives to “cater to their customers,” by offering custom aromas and massage oils made based on what the customer’s body wants. She is in the process of securing a new location for the center in Winter Garden. However, the property she has found requires renovations, specifically soundproofing and new carpet, which might delay the opening past their current moving deadline. 

In the meantime, she’s looking into a storage unit to hold the minerals and gemstones. 

The center’s massage therapist, Maureen Jacobson, started a GoFundMe to ask for help with the moving costs. They’re asking for help through donations, shares and prayers, as the center navigates finding a new home after 23 years.
