Be Still Health and Wellness Spa recently opened its doors at 9087 Poplar Ave., Suite 107, offering Germantown a new approach to holistic recovery and self-care. The spa blends advanced technology with a warm, community-centered environment designed to help guests pause, heal, and restore balance.
Founded by David Nugent, a former NFL defensive lineman and Super Bowl Champion with the New England Patriots, Be Still was born from his own wellness transformation. After more than two decades of intense training and nearly 20 years in medical sales, David began to feel the toll on his body. “My body became so inflamed and my energy was depleted,” he recalls. “At 46, it affected every aspect of my life — including my ability to play freely with my four young children. That was a turning point for me, and I knew I had to make a change.”
After researching natural ways to reduce pain and inflammation, David discovered a local recovery center offering cryotherapy and signed up for a three-pack. “After just a few sessions, I felt incredible,” he says. “I added sauna and compression therapy to my daily cryotherapy regimen, and it changed my life completely.”
The physical healing also had a spiritual component for David. During his daily compression therapy sessions, he read the Bible. David came across Psalm 46:10, which states, “Be still, and know that I am God.” This verse inspired the spa’s name and guides its mission to rest and restore.
Hydrafacials, Morpheus8, IPL, and spider vein treatments, as well as body contouring and EMS(electrical muscle stimulation).
The spa welcomes clients of all ages and backgrounds. “Everyone experiences pain at some point in life, and we all share the same desire to feel better,” David explains. “Our equipment is state-of-the-art, but it’s our staff that truly sets us apart. They all genuinely care about every client’s wellness journey.”
Membership options include daily one-session, multi-session, and unlimited plans, with family memberships and discounts for youth and first responders. Members also receive exclusive pricing on massages, aesthetics, localized cryotherapy, and retail products, while non-members can book sessions a la carte and in packages.
Since embracing the same healing modalities now offered at Be Still, David has lost 30 pounds, regained mobility, eliminated chronic pain, and even boosted his testosterone naturally. “These natural therapies reenergized me and have opened an exciting new chapter in my life,” he says. “I want others to know there are alternatives to medicine that can help you feel your best.”
Beyond pain relief, Be Still’s therapies support skin and respiratory health, collagen production, and overall healing from the inside out. “Our mission is to help people become the best version of themselves — physically, mentally, and spiritually,” David says. “The other day, I looked around our lobby and saw a dentist, teacher, police officer, nurse, pastor, and a couple of high school athletes. It’s so rewarding to see such a diverse group come together in pursuit of wellness at Be Still.”
