I adore the outdoors, especially when accompanied by my three dogs and my fiancé. Whether it’s camping, fishing, rafting, hunting, mountain biking, trail riding, gardening, canning, or simply taking walks in the fresh air, I find solace in nature. Wellness became my passion over 15 years ago because I sensed the need for more balance in my life. Daily health-conscious habits have become my compass, guiding me toward leading others on a positively mindful journey to better health. I firmly believe in listening to our bodies—it’s essential for living happily, healthily, and realistically. Mindfulness is my secret ingredient for achieving this balance.

My mantra? “FOCUS ON what you put ON your body, what you put IN your body, and what you DO with your body.” This philosophy drives me forward. Beyond my love for wellness, I’m also an aspiring philanthropist and a Professional Cosmetologist. I find hair color fascinating down to the science of each gram. Every haircut or style creation brings me joy. I listen attentively to every client’s questions, concerns, and needs. I firmly believe that everyone possesses natural beauty, even without makeup or hairspray. Facials, with their grounding and relaxing effects, are my cherished services. Currently, I hold three certificates in advanced skin care. I use natural, clean, and certified organic products to enhance these experiences. In the near future, I’ll be obtaining my Certificate for Nutrition Coaching to enhance my skills and find ways to help clients achieve balance from the inside out. But my journey doesn’t stop there. I’ll continue attending certified courses to advance my services and educate clients on maintaining healthy hair, skin, and overall well-being. With the energy of a sister and the warmth of a best friend, I ensure a comfortable experience for every appointment. My confidence, creativity, and fashion-forward sensibility unfolds exactly what each individual seeks.

The roots of Valcana Elupt trace back to 2018, marking the onset of my educational journey towards obtaining my Cosmetology license. In 2019, I offered traditional hair and skin services within a small Aveda hair salon and Yellowstone Naturopathic Clinic. Shortly thereafter, in 2021, B. Haven Wellness LLC emerged—a Wellness Salon, Spa, and Cafe nestled in the heart of downtown Billings. This haven became a sanctuary for every client, and its growth was palpable. Our ethos revolved around holistic beauty and emphasized clean ingredients. Our top-performing products included Aveda (for hair), AnnMarie (for skin), and Your Super (for nutrition). Over the years, I cultivated experience and relationships while running this wellness facility. However, in August 2023, I faced a pivotal decision. Life was shifting, and I needed to heed my body’s whispers and consider my future. It wasn’t an easy choice, but on September 1st, 2023, I closed the doors of B. Haven Wellness Cafe and Valcana Elupt.

Now, I am at Serendipity Salon & Spa in downtown Billings and work alongside a compassionate team that shares similar values. I still practice under the name Valcana Elupt. To me, Valcana Elupt symbolizes courage—the audacity to defy expectations—and perseverance—the determination to keep moving forward. Despite my recent changes, my commitment remains unwavering: to inspire my clients to care for their bodies holistically and provide exceptional services. 🌟💆‍♀️🌿
