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. Her extensive 20+ year career in medical spas, 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.
