Meet the Business Owner

Sheila H.

Business Owner

After graduating from Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, VA in 1985 Sheila moved to Washington, D.C. Sheila’s love for the city inspired her to purchase property, which is now Asante Sana in 1994. Here she met her husband and they moved to Ohio where they worked together in her husband’s practice. Although they didn’t spend a lot of time in the Washington area after purchasing the home, they returned in 2006. It took nearly four years to renovate the main infrastructure. Sheila and her family live on the Eastern Shore in Maryland and she commutes to Washington on a weekly basis.
