About Us
Mary Ellen Gibbons
Founder
Demeter's Garden, a leading medical spa located in Asheville, North Carolina, was born from the vision of Mary Ellen, an experienced Nurse Anesthesiologist.
With over 20 years experience in nursing and over 17 years in anasthesia, coupled with her personal experiences navigating breast cancer and chronic pain, has cultivated a deep understanding of the interconnectedness of healing and aesthetics. This unique perspective inspired Mary Ellen to create a med spa in Asheville where advanced beauty treatments and innovative therapies like Iovera Cryoanalgesia converge to offer a holistic approach to wellness.
At Demeter's Garden, we are committed to providing exceptional care and results, drawing from Mary Ellen's journey and expertise to serve the Asheville, North Carolina community.
Our Story
From Patient to Provider: The Foundation of Our Asheville Medical Spa.
Driven by over two decades of compassionate nursing experience and a profound understanding gained through personal battles with aggressive breast cancer and chronic pain, Asheville, NC native Mary Ellen envisioned and founded Demeter's Garden – a unique medical spa. Her transformative journey from patient to provider ignited a passion for opioid-sparing pain relief through Iovera cryoanalgesia and a deep appreciation for the interconnectedness of beauty and wellness, leading to the creation of this exceptional med spa offering a holistic approach to health and advanced aesthetic treatments in the heart of Asheville.
