Elma De Wit Swanepoel is the Pharmacist in Charge of Capitol Wellness Solutions.

Elma has been a pharmacist at Capitol Wellness Solutions since 2019.  Since earning her pharmacist degree in 1986, Elma has been providing the highest degree of service possible to her patients.  Her passion for homeopathic medicine, medical marijuana, vitamins, and other natural solutions has helped her achieve a more balanced medicinal approach that benefits her patients in more ways than modern medicine can achieve alone.

In 1986, Mrs. Swanepoel started practicing as a pharmacist in her own pharmacy in Lethabo, South Africa.  This is where she started noticing a need for natural, homeopathic ways to complement modern medicine.  In 2002, Elma immigrated to the United States to practice pharmacy at a chain store.  She earned recertification through FPGEC and NAPLEX, receiving a Doctor of Pharmacy license from the Louisiana Board of Pharmacy, as well as holding a pharmacist license in Texas.  In a few short years, she quickly rose to the position of Pharmacist in Charge in 2006.  From 2006-2019, Mrs. Swanepoel was deeply involved in the development of various chain store pharmacies in Baton Rouge.  Elma was highly recruited by the Capitol Wellness team, and since September 2019, she has befitted herself as an invaluable team member through her vast knowledge of medicinal marijuana, THC, CBD, and other natural, holistic medicines.  She is passionate about the possibilities that medical marijuana has to offer for her patients.

Outside of work, Elma enjoys spending time with her husband, her children, and her grandchildren.  Her hobbies include cooking, painting, stained glass work, and gardening.  Mrs. Swanepoel lives her life by the Golden Rule of Leviticus, paraphrased to read “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.”

From a young age, Mike knew he wanted to work in a profession in the medical field. He felt a strong calling towards helping people any way he could. So pharmacy was a natural fit for him. Mike graduated from Northeast Louisiana University (now University of Louisiana at Monroe) with a Bachelor Of Science degree in Pharmacy in 1991. He worked nearly 30 years as a retail pharmacist prior to joining Capitol. He has experience as a daytime pharmacist, overnight pharmacist, pharmacy manager, and pharmacist-in-charge.

Mike knew that conventional medicine was important in keeping people healthy. But he became interested in more natural and unique ways to treat a variety of medical conditions. When he discovered the numerous, wonderful benefits of therapeutic marijuana, he knew he wanted to be part of this movement. Mike was encouraged and touched by the people he spoke with — people whose lives have changed for the better because of medical marijuana, where other therapies either failed or didn’t do enough. He is very excited for the opportunity to bring all the benefits that cannabis has to offer to our patients.

Away from work, Mike enjoys spending quality time with his family, including his lovely wife, three wonderful sons, and his precious granddaughter. He loves grilling, listening to music, and playing and watching sports. During the fall, Mike is sure to be cheering on his beloved New Orleans Saints and LSU Tigers on the football field.

Mike is an avid meditator. He lives his life by the mantra: “Be the change you want to see in the world”.

Hieu is a Staff Pharmacist at Capitol Wellness Solutions.  Hieu knew he wanted to become a pharmacist in his sophomore year of high school.  Chemistry was his favorite subject which made it an easy choice for him.  He graduated alongside his wife from Xavier University of Louisiana College of Pharmacy with his PharmD degree in 2012.  After graduation he worked at the big retail chains, but felt he was missing a connection with his patients.  Since joining the Capitol Wellness team, he has found a sense of purpose and happiness being able to consult with patients and see the improvement in their physical and mental health after a short time with their marijuana therapy.

Hieu is a third generation Vietnamese-American born and raised in New Orleans.  He has two daughters who keep him on his toes daily and who are his world. In his leisure, he enjoys spending time with his family, travelling, and trying new restaurants.  His hobbies are bowling, watching sports, and mobile games.
