Our Story

Chosen Soul Empire was established by Jules Lahens after experiencing a profound calling during a Painting with a Twist session. This pivotal decision led her to leave her nursing career. In just 3 years, she expanded to four locations, providing customers with a unique and meticulously curated experience. She paid attention to every detail, ensuring that the music, artwork, and overall atmosphere reflected her vision. She prioritized her staff's well-being, encouraging them to mirror this care in their customer interactions. Jules introduced custom-made aromatherapy and engaged in intercessory prayers during late nights and early mornings, setting the stage for a peaceful and welcoming environment. All these elements combined to create a tranquil space for her customers.

These efforts, driven by Jules' unwavering attention to detail and commitment to meaningful experiences, have made a profound impact. Despite occasional challenges arising from her meticulousness, Jules' dedication has resonated deeply with customers. One such customer, Crystal, shared how the studio transformed her life, reaffirming Jules' belief that God would use her unique qualities to help others. This led her on a healing journey, guided by God every step of the way. His presence taught, confirmed, restored, and strengthened her. Now, she's dedicated to bringing light to others and healing one soul at a time through forgiveness, prayer, art, and creativity—a concept she aptly refers to as heART therapy.
