✨  Brigitte Ownsby ✨

Elder, Friend, Family, Lab Assistant, A Matriarch of the Mission

Brigitte Ownsby isn’t just our lab assistant - she is the beating heart of House of VXN. A wise elder, a steady hand, and a living bridge between generations.

The mother of co-owner Marrana James, Brigitte has poured hundreds of hours into the foundation we stand on today. When resources ran thin and morale wavered, she volunteered her time, her strength and heart into the dream we are fighting for.

Diagnosed with cancer in 2024, Brigitte still chose to show up - with more energy, more excitement, and more devotion to our mission than ever before - bottling formulas, labeling products, packing boxes, and infusing every single item with the kind of love you can feel in your bones.

Even while navigating her own healing journey, Brigitte continued to give

• She grows her own cannabis and mushrooms - sharing her wisdom freely with our team.

• Prepares healing meals for Shauna and others in the team (especially when Shauna forgets to eat).

• Tends a lush backyard garden and shares her fruits and veggies with co-workers and community.

• Pours intentional energy into every product she touches, as if she is blessing them with her own heart. 

• Shows up with the spirit of a healer and the mind of a master gardener while offering supplement suggestions, food tips, and lifestyle lessons learned through her experience. 

When Brigitte walks into a room, it fills with light.

When she works, she sets the rhythm of ritual - a reminder that healing isn’t something you sell; it’s something you embody.

She has become the living proof of what House of VXN stands for: Multigenerational wisdom. Healing as service. Radical, unconditional care for each other and for ourselves.

Brigitte teaches us, every day, that wellness is not a concept.

It is a choice. A way of life. A rebellion. A love letter to existence itself.

It is an honor to build this house with her - and because of her.
