Ashley Beans | EM Coach

My name is Ashley Beans, and I first became a mom in January 2012. Becoming a mom changed me. I became 'obsessed' with making sure that the things we were doing as a family were safe and natural for my little boy, Kit. I researched everything, we tossed the chemicals and toxins that are, surprisingly, everywhere and turned to a natural and holistic lifestyle. In 2014 we had Charlie, and he made me a mom again. Over the years, we've seen lots of miracles occur because of our healthy lifestyle.

Lisa Bergman MBA | EM Coach

Lisa Bergman lives in Northern VA as a happy wife and mother of four. She earned a Bachelor's Degree in Behavioral Science and Health and a Masters in Business from the University of Utah. Her studies and life experiences led her to observe that the key to living a successful life in terms of happiness, financial well being and health, is not reserved for the talented, the smart or even those who seem to be born geniuses --nor is it solely a product of hard work or thrift. She found that the incredible gift possessed by us all is the power to choose one’s way and to change one’s mind (now backed by research and often referred to as neuroplasticity of the brain). Those who feel they live successful, charmed lives, have developed a belief, a mindset and healthy habits for success that have much more to do with emotional intelligence than any other factor. Hence Lisa has poured her life and soul force into serving others as an Emotions Mentor® Instructor and Health Consultant to empower people to thrive. She has an innate gift to inspire others to see the beauty within so they can more fully live to their purpose and potential and live joyful, healthy successful lives.

Tim Patterson | EM Coach

Tim Patterson is a successful Sales and Business Professional with a BS in Accounting from Virginia Tech and numerous business and professional certifications. Tim became interested in Emotional Intelligence several years ago after suffering a tremendous personal and professional setback. It was during this same time period that Essential Oils became core to his daily being. During his life rebuilding, he surmised applying more work effort than before to rebound was not the right path, but learning to do more with what he already had at his disposal was the correct conclusion. Specifically, raising his self awareness so as to be present, happy and in the specific moment. Tim enjoys teaching and is passionate about sharing the message with others about how raising one’s self awareness can raise the quality of their relationships, personal well-being and general happiness overall.
