After my first daughter was born in 2010, I became very conscious of the food we ate and started to implement a clean diet for my family and I. When my twins were two years old they were diagnosed with asthma. By this time I had already been using essential oils in my practice and personal life for over 6 years. I tried many different alternative approaches to treat their asthma but it wasn't until I used doTerra's "Easy Air" in January, 2016 that I noticed dramatic improvements. I do not know whether it was a coincidence- Maybe the allergens in the air had finally frozen after such a mild early winter?- but what I do know is that after the first night of rubbing "Easy Air" on their chests and feet and diffusing it beside their beds, they woke up with no more wheezing nor coughing. They had been coughing on and off (mostly on) for almost two years! I am writing this now, 6 months later and they have been inhaler-free for 4 months. Maybe they have better developed lungs now, maybe they suddenly got "over" their asthma, or maybe it was the oils, I will probably never know. What I do know is that I have had similar results in all of the areas I have incorporated oils, from relief of muscle pain (deep Blue), headaches (past tense), cramps and stomach aches (digest zen) to feeling less anxious (Serenity), to having more glowing skin (Frankincense and Tea Tree) and whiter teeth (onGuard Tooth Paste), I have had success in all areas with doTerra oils and so have all of the people around me. To see a full list of all of the ways I have incorporated doTerra into my life, please see below.

Since my first experience with doTerra, saying I am in-love with EOs is an understatement, I am not going to lie, I am a little obsessed. I began looking at the products in my house and thinking, I am enforcing healthy eating habits and exercise for my family, but I am using products with chemical ingredients EVERY DAY! I made a DIY chest rub for the twins (Bye-Bye Vix), why couldn't I do the same with the other products in my home? I had a lot of work to do! We were washing our hair and our hands with chemicals, cleaning counters and washing our dishes, clothing and floors. I even rubbed lotion on my children and myself daily that had unknown chemical ingredients listed. I was shocked at my carelessness. I had been using EOs in my massage practice for years and I had the knowledge and the tools to eliminate harmful products from our lives, why hadn't I done so!? 

I decided that if I was going to change my lifestyle, I was going to dive right in. I signed up with doTerra to become a "Wellness Advocate" aka a Member who receives 25% off orders for a year and 10%-30% back in "points". I knew it would be an expensive journey, so I made a plan to sign up for their monthly Loyalty Rewards Program and I began to month-by-month change the products in our home. I started with our hand soap, deodorant and cleaning products, then I switched hair products, face products and laundry detergent. Other things I did not expect happened along this journey as well, I have IBS and along with that sometimes terrible stomach pain, the ZenGest has proven to be a tremendous help! I rub a few drops on my stomach and within minutes I have relief from my cramps and stomach pains. 

In April, 2016 I was drinking a VERY expensive protein shake (seriously $180/month), eating clean and working out regularly. I had a checkup with my doctor where I discovered that I was low in Vitamin B12, Iron, Hemoglobin and blood platelets. I then decided to start the "LifeLong Vitality Vitamins" from doTerra (something I never intended to do) to supplement my health. I instantly noticed I had more energy and I felt like I was glowing from the
