🌿 Local Business Spotlight:
Soul Elevation
Health and Wellness 🌿
“Elevating mind, body, and spirit—right here in Bountiful.”
Nestled in the heart of Bountiful, Soul Elevation Health and Wellness isn’t just a place—it’s a sanctuary. Created by local resident and passionate healer Erin Ottley, this wellness center was born from a deeply personal journey of healing and hope.
Sixteen years ago, Erin faced a life-altering cancer diagnosis. At the same time, her sister-in-law was navigating her own battle with autoimmune disease. In the midst of those challenges, Erin discovered a small wellness center that offered holistic therapies—and it changed everything. Not only did it help her body heal, but it opened her eyes (and heart) to a new path: one where true health meant nurturing every part of the self—mind, body, and soul.
Today, Soul Elevation is the embodiment of that revelation. With a beautiful and calming space at 485 S 100 E in Bountiful, Erin has created more than a business—it’s a movement dedicated to helping individuals and families reconnect, recharge, and rise to new heights of well-being.
From yoga and sound baths to mental health support, nutritional coaching, and alternative healing practices, Soul Elevation offers something for everyone, no matter where you are in your journey. Their approach is science-backed, personalized, and always delivered with genuine care and compassion.

And Erin’s mission doesn’t stop at the door. Soul Elevation is actively involved in the community with events like Family Wellness Days, Youth Mindfulness Programs, and free classes for veterans, seniors, and single parents. They also partner with wellness charities and offer volunteer opportunities for anyone who wants to help spread the good.

Morning Crash in Bountiful Shuts Down I-15 Lanes, Causing Major Delays
A semitruck rollover on southbound I-15 in Bountiful early Thursday morning caused major traffic delays. The truck spilled its load near 400 North, prompting temporary lane closures. Crews cleared the scene and reopened the highway by 8:40 a.m. No injuries or causes have been disclosed yet.

🐻 Former Utah Jazz Bear Diagnosed with Rare Blood Cancer
Jon Absey, who portrayed the Utah Jazz Bear from 1994 to 2018, has been diagnosed with multiple myeloma, a rare form of blood cancer. Known for his dynamic performances and charitable work, Absey is currently undergoing treatment and receiving widespread community support.


Endangered Amur Tigers Take First Steps Toward Mating at Hogle Zoo
Utah’s Hogle Zoo has begun introducing Amur tigers Sasha and Nikolai as part of a breeding program under the Species Survival Plan. Starting with controlled visual interactions, the tigers are now sharing space under close supervision. Early behaviors suggest compatibility, marking a significant step in the zoo's conservation efforts.
