About Us
My story is more than being a mother and a stay at home wife. My story was hard fought and won! So many valuable lessons have been learned and cherished. Im a better person for it and infinitely grateful for what I had experienced.
In 2015 I got breast implants and I loved them for about 7 months before I noticed I was getting sick - Really sick. I started passing out resulting in concussions, having seizures, developed swollen joints, struggled with low blood pressure, migraines, amongst about 40 other symptoms. Doctors couldn't figure out what was wrong. I was diagnosed with POTS. I needed live-in care and rising medical costs soon began to overshadow everything. despite being sick, I still had a drive to do more than suffer! Even though I was incredibly ill, I pushed myself to find some way to help my husband financially and started my first business, Savon de Wolff. It was a skincare business that I put everything I had left into it. After about 4 years, my bloodwork came back positive for Lyme disease. So now I'm living with the realties of two debilitating diseases. Despite this, I took pride and made the high quality and beautiful products, but I struggled keep up with the demand. On top of trying to own and run a business, I homeschooled up until 2024. Realties of my situation had set in and while I was recovering from a hysterectomy, I made the decision to close down and dedicate myself to finding answers and getting better. I was finally diagnosed with Breast Implant Illness. I had my final surgery December 2023 to take out my implants. within nine days of surgery, every single symptom was gone! My POTS and Lyme also disappeared!
Now that this is over and I've regained my health, we decided early 2024 to move out of state and we moved across the country to Missouri for a fresh start. Now fully healed, settled in and no longer homeschooling, I'm sitting at home bored out of my mind! I miss the pride of making beautiful products and running a business. I have so much energy and am ready to LIVE! I was given this second chance at life, and I'm not taking it for granted!
After going through my supplies and experimenting with different products, I soon fell in love with perfume. It started with a delicate marshmallow scent, and I was hooked. I played around with a bunch of fragrances and unique blends for myself as well as having friends and family test them out. After a while of really understanding all the aspects of perfumery, I jumped off the deep end to launch Élevée! the story behind my company name is simple. I fell in love with that french word because by definition, it means above/ high/ elevated. I want my products to be the best. I rose above and beat this crazy illness and I want to put that passion into my products. I'm so happy to be building up this wonderful company and sharing my creations with the world. With this second chance, I'm inspired to share the beauty I've crafted. Even something as simple as a perfume deserves to be cherished just as much as life's greatest moments.
