Celebrating 25 Years of SJC & Mary Ann Paul's Vision

Last month we celebrated a milestone anniversary, but St. John Club Day Spa wouldn’t have been possible without the vision of one extraordinary woman…

Twenty-five years ago our founder Mary Ann Paul, née Michaelos, transformed a humble Pizza Hut building into the serene oasis now known as St. John Club Day Spa. A third-generation DeLand business owner, Mary Ann has carried forward her family’s entrepreneurial spirit, blending it with a heartfelt commitment to wellness. Her vision was to create a space where the community could escape, rejuvenate, and feel truly cared for—a vision that has become a cornerstone of the spa’s enduring success.

Mary Ann’s journey reflects a deep connection to DeLand, her hometown, and her unwavering passion for elevating others’ well-being. Her innovative approach and dedication to quality have not only built a thriving spa but have also strengthened the bond between St. John Club and the community. Clients who walk through the doors are welcomed with warmth and expertise, hallmarks of Mary Ann’s philosophy.

As we celebrate 25 incredible years, we honor Mary Ann’s legacy—one of perseverance, creativity, and compassion. Her leadership continues to inspire our team, ensuring that St. John Club remains a cherished sanctuary for all who visit. Thank you, Mary Ann, for your vision and dedication to making DeLand a little more serene, one massage, facial, and moment of peace at a time.
