Our People

Co Founder - Edna Ness

Co Founder - Cait Wilson

  • Role at In Light:
    Founder & Wellness Advocate

    What do you love most about what you do?
    Helping people find hope again. Some of my favorite moments are watching someone walk through our doors feeling discouraged and leave with renewed confidence in their body's ability to heal.

    What brought you to In Light?
    My own health journey. For years, I struggled with chronic migraines and searched for answers that went beyond simply managing symptoms. Later, my husband was diagnosed with Stage 4 tongue and throat cancer. Walking through that experience together deepened my passion for learning about healing, resilience, and the body's incredible capacity to recover. Doug was cancer-free with no recurrence, and those experiences continue to fuel my desire to help others explore proactive, supportive wellness options.

    Favorite modality at In Light:
    Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy. It's where my passion for wellness began and remains one of the most powerful tools we offer.

    One thing you're passionate about helping people with:
    Finding hope when they feel like they've run out of options.

    Favorite coffee order (or drink of choice):
    A coconut milk latte with steamed cinnamon.

    Favorite way to recharge:
    Spending time with family, enjoying nature, and slowing down enough to appreciate life's simple moments.

    Favorite local spot in Vancouver:
    The Vancouver Waterfront.

    Something people might be surprised to learn about you:
    I never set out to own a wellness center. What started as a personal search for answers eventually became a calling to help others on their own health journeys.

    Favorite way to spend a day off:
    A slow morning with coffee, time with loved ones, and nowhere I have to be.

  • Role at In Light:

    What do you love most about what you do?
    Watching people walk out feeling like themselves again, or better than they ever have. There's nothing quite like being part of someone's healing journey.

    What brought you to In Light?
    In Light was born out of my business partner and I's own health struggles over the years. These modalities genuinely transformed our lives, and we knew we had to share them with our community and beyond. I also truly believe a higher power led us here…

    Favorite modality at In Light: Hyperbaric oxygen; here's a reason I call it a "hyperbaric nap." 😴

    One thing I'm passionate about helping people with:
    Brain health and concussion recovery. The old advice of "just rest and wait" doesn't cut it anymore. There's so much we can do, and I love being part of changing that conversation.

    Favorite coffee order:
    Latte steamed with allll the cinnamon + an extra shot of espresso. Non-negotiable.

    Favorite way to recharge:
    Hard toss-up between a hyperbaric nap and catching a flight to anywhere. Honestly both count as therapy.

    Favorite local spot in Vancouver:
    All the little beach spots along the Columbia River. There's something about the water that resets everything.

    Something people might be surprised to learn about me:
    My dream is to one day open a "Destination In Light" in the tropics. Full retreat vibes, sunshine, healing modalities, and probably a lot of cinnamon lattes.

    Favorite way to spend a day off:
    A slow morning followed by getting outside and moving. Hiking, exploring, anything that gets me into nature.

  • Role at In Light:
    Marketing Director & Brand Guardian

    What do you love most about what you do?
    Connecting people to stories of hope. I love helping others discover what's possible and sharing the incredible transformations that happen every day at In Light.

    What brought you to In Light?
    My journey to In Light started during a season when I was struggling with anxiety and depression. My sister worked next door and kept encouraging me to stop in, take a tour, and meet the owners. Eventually, I did. Before long, we worked out a trade: marketing support in exchange for a series of mild hyperbaric sessions. What started as a simple exchange turned into something much bigger. I began as a Hyperbaric Technician so I could truly understand the therapy from the inside out, and over the years my role evolved into Marketing Director. That firsthand experience continues to shape how I tell our story today.

    Favorite modality at In Light:
    Mild Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy.

    One thing you're passionate about helping people with:
    Listening. Truly listening. Sometimes people walk through our doors carrying a lot more than a health concern. They need someone to hear their story, and remind them there's still reason to hope. If you're struggling to believe things can get better, I've usually got enough faith for both of us.

    Favorite coffee order (or drink of choice):
    Iced Americano with cream and a splash of white chocolate

    Favorite way to recharge:
    A good nap. Seriously, don't underestimate the power of true rest. Beyond that, getting outside the Clark County bubble with my family, especially for a trip to the beach. Something about salty air, a slower pace, and a change of scenery gets the creative juices flowing and helps me come back refreshed.

    Favorite local spot in Vancouver:
    New Seasons. I know, I know... it's a grocery store.

    Something people might be surprised to learn about you:
    I've been married to my husband, Mason, for 12 years and joined In Light in 2019, just months before the world shut down. Also, my daughter Stevie has probably logged more hours in a hyperbaric chamber than almost anyone on our team. She practically grew up around here.

    Favorite way to spend a day off:
    Stepping into my daughter Stevie's world and seeing life through her eyes. This season goes by so fast, and I love creating memories with her and my husband, Mason. Those simple moments together are what matter most to me.
