Welcome to Mood House
Our Founding Story
Hey! Cristina here. Since when did Starbucks runs become our way to relax and recharge? That's bullshit.
Over the last 10 years I've been busy building a media career, most recently as president and partner at Charlotte Agenda (recently acquired by Axios). I had it all together, but one “bad email” could send me spiraling. I kept searching for a place I could go to recharge my mind and body, somewhere with a community that I could call home.
I couldn't find it, so I quit my job and built Mood House.
It's a re-imagination of the traditional massage spa. Expect slick online booking, amazing mind-body massages, and an infrared sauna — all inside of a space that'll make you feel like you’re in Cali, not Carolina.
In my past, I've struggled to carve out one hour each month to escape, relax, and recharge. I felt like I had to justify it. Why? I hate how I convinced myself that my health wasn't worth an hour. The truth is that I'm less effective — as a businesswoman, as a leader, as a parent — if I don't create time for myself.
That belief became the whole point of Mood House – and it's why, years later, thousands of members walk through our doors every month to protect that hour for themselves.

Meet Lizzy, our CEO & Partner
I'm no stranger to small business. The backdrop of my childhood was painted by my parents' hard work and passion as they built their business from 1 to 14 locations.
And over the last decade, I've dedicated my career to partnering, problem solving, and lifting up local businesses. The personal connections, the challenges, and the overall joy of building something that makes a tangible impact is what fills my cup every day.
Like Cristina, I've learned that self-care isn't a luxury, it's the foundation that lets me seize every opportunity. My daily mantra is simple: squeeze all the juice out of life’s lemons. And time and time again, it's taking care of myself that makes it possible.
I hope you embrace the Mood House mentality. I hope you squeeze your proverbial lemons. Because you deserve to reset and relax. And we built the perfect house for you.
