My formal education comes from George Mason University with a B.A. in Psychology. My husband’s job brought us to Chesapeake from our origins in Northern Virginia. I would have to say I started on a path of self healing with holistic therapies and wellness after little help from the traditional medical community and years of pain and illness. They could offer only experimental drugs and very little understanding of my conditions which forced me to move in a new direction. I began to look within and seek a deeper understanding of how the body is all connected. Taking responsibility for my own health empowered me, and through dietary changes, supplementation, and holistic therapies I felt a shift in my overall health and life.

In the midst of this healing journey, I found Audrey Brown at what was then called Lotus Touch Center. Working with Audrey I saw the dramatic difference regular massage was making. Feeling better and having more energy, I began other therapies like yoga and acupuncture.

Audrey and I felt a connection upon our first meeting but had no way of knowing what the divine had planned for us. Less than a year later, we became business partners. Much has change from that time, our name we have grown and are taking on this new journey in a new space… But, some things remain the same. My Journey continues and what I believe is my life’s work does as well; I know Audrey would say the same. If Audrey had not started this business and guided me I would not have the same health results and therefore would not have two amazing children. With that said, having the drive to keep the doors of Natural Elements open and offering those same great benefits and empowerment to others is imperative.
