Victoria is a native of Asheville North Carolina, located in Buncombe County. Born on January 22, 1993, Victoria is a young mother of Ronan who is now a teenager. Victoria was full of life. She was gifted pianist, artist, ballroom dancer, and spent most of her time with her son Ronan.

MAY 22, 2015

On Friday, May 22, of 2015 (Memorial Day Weekend) Victoria Faith was walking to cross the street (yes, a pedestrian) to catch the bus. A driver that crashed his vehicle into her was traveling 45+ mph. The impact of the car caused a massive hematoma on the left side of her head. Then the car knocked her 53 feet in the air causing the second blow to Victoria's head. As she landed on her face the impact knocked out a front tooth and broke nearly every bone in her face.


Victoria Faith now suffers from Catastrophic

 Traumatic Brain Injury.


Her brain had over 16 hemorrhages, and sheared the gray and white matter. At the time of the trauma either on the road or in the ER, she experienced a mild stroke or a series of mini strokes. This has added to the complications that has severely affected the left side of her body.

Victoria Faith was admitted to the neuro-trauma ICU for 21 days and the trauma unit for nine additional days. After leaving the hospital she went to Care Partners, a C.A.R.F. accredited facility. For the next 81 days Victoria received basic therapy for her condition. I was told that as long as she was progressing the therapy would continue. However, because the progress was slow, I was told her only options were to go home or to a nursing home. With only few exceptions, I have been by her side as much as possible, caring for her, doing therapy, feeding her a quality pureed meal and making sure the environment is healthy and happy.

Care & Therapy

Sensory Therapies

Because the limbic system is directly connected to the parts of the brain that control heart rate, blood pressure, breathing, memory, stress levels, and hormone balance, therapeutic-grade essential oils can have unbelievable physiological and psychological effects. Each of the essential oils has therapeutic stimulating, calming, sedative, balancing properties.
