My name is Audra, and I am the owner and operator of Restorative and Healing Arts in Orange Beach, Alabama. My husband and I have raised 5 of our 7 children into adulthood and welcomed our first two grandchildren into the family in 2024.

My educational background includes an AAS in Therapeutic Massage from Miller-Motte Technical College in Charleston, SC. I went back to school to complete an AA in Pre-Nursing from Pensacola State College and then a BSN from the University of South Alabama. ‘Go Jags!’ I’ve been a Licensed Massage Therapist for over 17 years. I’ve been a registered nurse in the ER for 3- years. And, I’m now practicing as a cosmetic tattoo artist in Orange Beach, Alabama.

The medical tattoo journey started with friend of mine and I set out to gain a new perspective on helping people and we discovered a obvious need for both qualified and quality service providers in the medical tattoo arena. Since beginning this adventure, I have fallen in love with the ability to make not only a physical impact but, for some, a spiritual and emotional one as well. I have traveled across the United States to seek Medical Tattoo & Permanent Makeup training from the field’s most experienced professionals. Many of these medical and cosmetic estheticians have brought their experience and expertise from around the world to teach advanced tattooing skills, here in the States. I’ve learned not only the skills of the trade but a love for the work and the people it impacts.

During my training, I’ve had the tremendous blessing to work with burn victims, breast cancer survivors, survivors of self-harm, and men and women alike with surgical and life scarring. I’ve seen first hand the difference it can make in someone’s life to have a physical scar worked on and the appearance fade into the background along with the daily reminder of the emotional pain held within those very scars.

It is my hope that through this business venture I can help facilitate a nurturing and supportive environment to boost you in your journey of self-growth. I hope to work within my community and collaborate with other specialized professionals to help get people where they need to be for whole-body wellness.

Remember: WE are the difference, in OUR community.
