About Relax Lab · Since 2019
We’re so glad you’re here. Interested in the Relax Lab lore? We’d love to share!
2019
Where it began
Relax Lab opened our doors in October 2019 in Tyler’s Mosaic District, a growing, community-driven, small business destination. What began as a shared vision of health and nervous system regulation between founders Laura Hoyt, Yenissel De Nova and Lloyd Luthas quickly grew into a collaborative wellness spa.
All three founders are massage therapists by trade, and hands-on care has always been at the heart of what we do.
The Relax Lab lore
From a three-person practice to a team of skilled therapists across our locations. Scroll through the milestones.
2019
Our initial business model centered heavily on float therapy and a small, therapist-led team in Tyler’s Mosaic District.
2020
Just five months after opening, we temporarily closed due to COVID-19, using that time to reassess and refine our vision. We reimagined our space, converting underutilized areas into additional treatment rooms and expanding our team of therapists.
Late 2020
We grew beyond a three-person practice into a collaborative wellness space. Sensory deprivation therapy, massage and craniosacral therapy, alongside our lounge services, NuCalm and Normatec, all became part of Relax Lab and the vision of the “Lab of you.”
2022
We expanded with Relax Lab Family, a nearby space dedicated to pediatric bodywork, deepening our specialty care in pre- and post-operative tongue and lip-tie bodywork support for infants, while creating room for continued growth within our main location.
Today
Relax Lab is home to a team of skilled therapists and a wide range of therapeutic offerings. Our foundation remains the same: thoughtful care, a supportive environment, and a commitment to helping our community feel better in their bodies.
The question we have for you

With gratitude
Yenissel De Nova was involved in key milestones from build-out to early operations, and her early influence remains part of the business today. Her time with Relax Lab concluded in Spring 2026.
