Michelle Auld APRN-CNP, Governing Board Member and Medical Director
I am a dual board-certified Nurse Practitioner in Family Practice and Psychiatric Mental Health, with over nine years of experience in family medicine. From the start of my career, I’ve always felt called to serve others, and that calling continues to guide everything I do. My compassion for women and the struggles they face — whether in balancing work and family or overcoming trauma and abuse — inspired me to further my education and expand my ability to care for both physical and mental health needs.
I was raised in Hot Springs, Arkansas, and I’m a proud mother of two. Through my personal and professional experiences, I’ve gained a deep understanding of the challenges women often carry — navigating careers, relationships, motherhood, and healing. I believe empathy, education, and community are essential parts of meaningful recovery and growth.
Beautiful Life Recovery House represents an extension of that belief. It’s a mission close to my heart — one that reflects the power of community support and the importance of helping women rebuild their lives with dignity, strength, and hope.
Heather Carroll, Governing Board Member
Born and raised with a love for creativity, good food, and helping people succeed, I’ve built my life around connection and purpose. I’m a proud single mom to my wonderful daughter, Hannah, who recently got married and began her own new adventure in life. Watching her grow into the amazing woman she’s become has been my greatest joy.
Professionally, I’ve built my career as a vendor sales representative, and over time, my passion for creativity led me in a new direction—helping clients market their businesses through custom logos, embroidered apparel, and creative promotional materials. I love combining my business experience with my creative side to bring people’s ideas and brands to life.
When I’m not working, you’ll usually find me in the kitchen trying new recipes or at my embroidery machine, bringing a design to life stitch by stitch. I believe in hard work, creativity, and attention to detail, and I bring that same dedication to everything I do—both personally and professionally. I’m also proud to serve as an Ambassador for the Greater Hot Springs Chamber of Commerce, where I enjoy connecting with local businesses and helping our community thrive.
My heart for community is also what draws me to support Beautiful Life Recovery House—a new nonprofit with a mission to walk alongside women and their children during times of crisis. Their holistic approach to healing—supporting physical, mental, and spiritual needs—deeply resonates with me. I believe every woman deserves access to safety, dignity, and the resources needed to rebuild. Being involved allows me to give back in a meaningful way, helping offer strength, hope, and a path forward to those who need it most.
