Hi, I'm Elizabeth Reed — entrepreneur, creative community builder, and founder of AquaSoul Home Community. Born, raised, and educated in Fayette and Raleigh County, West Virginia — yes, a separate state from Virginia, located to the northwest — I've built my journey through real-world experience, perseverance, creativity, and a passion for helping others feel seen, supported, and inspired. I earned a Certificate in Business Clerical and Office Management in 2002, followed by an Associate's Degree in Business Administration in 2008, both from Valley College. Over the years I've worked across retail logistics, healthcare support, home care services, customer service, and volunteer community programs in West Virginia, Virginia, and Florida. What I carried forward wasn't a list of employers — it was everything those experiences taught me about people, perseverance, and purpose. That's what AquaSoul is built from. In 2020, I launched what began as Aquarian Shop by Liz — now AquaSoul Community — in Gainesville, Florida, with a vision of creating more than just a place to shop. I wanted to build a welcoming space centered around Inspired Living, creativity, encouragement, collaboration, and authentic connection. Today, AquaSoul Community continues growing as a platform where community members, creators, entrepreneurs, and affiliates can connect, share global inspirational content, and promote self-made home décor and goods from around the world. My mission is to help others feel encouraged, empowered, and connected through community, creativity, and shared growth. Whether you're visiting to join or build a community, explore your creativity, or find something soulsational in our shop, you are welcome and we are very grateful you found us!
