Meet the founder & ceo
Lady Orchid LLC was founded in 2007 by Jovonda Patrice Jones, whose life story is rooted in resilience, faith, and transformation. As a teen mother and survivor of sexual and domestic abuse, she understands firsthand the silent battles many women carry. These experiences did not define her — they refined her purpose. From pain, she built vision; from survival, she created sanctuary.
Born and raised in Boston, Massachusetts, Ms. Jones later moved to Milledgeville, Georgia in 1996 and then to Augusta, Georgia in 2006, where her calling to serve women continued to unfold. Her studies in Criminal Justice, Healthcare Administration and Management, and Business Administration strengthened her ability to pair compassion with structure, ensuring that Lady Orchid is not only nurturing in spirit but sound in leadership.
Lady Orchid exists because healing should feel safe, beautiful, and dignified.
Ms. Jones is a proud mother, grandmother, entrepreneur, educator, mentor, public speaker, and aspiring attorney. Her professional and community roles reflect a sustained commitment to advocacy, development, and structured support for women and girls facing adversity. Through leadership, education, and service, she works to create pathways toward healing, stability, and personal growth.
Women and girls from every walk of life often reached out to me for comfort — to seek advice, to vent, to cry, or simply to feel seen. Many would ask me to style their hair, shape their brows, do their makeup, or even sing to them, because those small moments helped them feel whole again. Over time, I realized these interactions were revealing something deeper: these women were longing for a safe, beautiful space where they could exhale, be cared for, and begin healing.
That realization became the vision. They needed more than a moment — they needed a therapeutic yet exquisite retreat for peace, solitude, restoration, renewal, and gentle transformation. I felt called to make accessible to them what I once needed but did not have: a place where healing and dignity coexist.
Women and girls from all walks of life would call me for advice, to vent, to cry, and would ask if I would do their hair, arch their eyebrows, do their makeup to feel better or request for me to sing them a song. Eventually, it hit me. These ladies were in desperate need of a therapeutic, yet exquisite get-a-way for peace, solitude, redemption, healing, makeovers and rejuvenation. I wanted to make readily available to them something that was not available to me.
