My Biz

If you have had any contact with me in the last year then you already know I've started a business educating people about Natural Health Care and more specifically the use of doTERRA essential oils.  It all started when my mom started using them.  I thought she was CRAZY!  So if you think that about me, just wait, you'll change ;)
I was pregnant with Aiden and she gave me peppermint oil to use for my heart burn.  I never used it.  Until one night, because that's when the heartburn gets the worst, I was out of Tums and forced to use the oils.  Guess what, it worked.  And not only did it work, my heartburn seemed to occur less and less.  Then after baby was born, she gave me some diluted lavender oil for diaper rash.  Viola', it worked, it smelt good and it wasn't made of chemicals that I was rubbing on my babies skin.  I was convinced.  I started to use them more and more and even bought a few bottles for myself.  A while later a friend of mine contacted me about doing doTERRA as a business.  Sharing these oils with people, educating them on what they are and how to use them and selling them as well.  I felt that people NEEDED to know about these oils and here I am.  Changing lives, one drop at a time.  I believe in these oils because they give us an option, we don't have to always rely on Western medicine and I believe in them because they work.  Ask my non-beleiving husband.  Oh, he knows.  He just hates the smell.
And they are often cheaper!  I use Melaleuca for an ear infection.  It costs $.06 per drop and I apply 2 drops on the outside of the ear, 3 times a day for 2 days.  That's less than $2 to treat an ear infection!  Normally you pay a co pay, pay for a prescription, and then have to take antibiotics for 10 days which destroys your gut.
Think about a natural disaster, medicine isn't accessible and you betta believe the pharmacy shelves will clear fast.  What will you use?  Yes, these can be stored in your food storage and will last longer than we will.
I specifically use doTERRA because of their purity and quality.  I know it is a company I can trust.  It's a company built on integrity and you know that when you listen to or meet their executives, warm loving and grateful people.  They are also huge humanitarians.  When I teach my classes, I have to be conscious that I don't talk too much about my love for their humanitarian work.  They make sure the money goes in the pockets of the people that do all the work.  No middle man ripping off the 3rd world farmers doing all the work to support their family.
My goal with my business is to get a bottle of doTERRA essential oil in every home and to eventually support my family.  I asked Ryan what it would mean to him if I made enough to pay the bills plus some.  His response, "I could finish a painting instead of just painting it to the point that it can sell.  And I could paint what I really want to paint."  That was motivation for me :)
