essential oils + wellness

My Why

My journey to essential oils started with motherhood. My first born was colicky and as a new mama looking for alternative tools, I decided to give oils a try. After my second daughter was born I learned that I had developed a heart condition induced by my pregnancies, so following a heart procedure and a mix of post-partum and PTSD, I became truly intentional in my wellness journey. My girls are a huge part of why I chose to start living a healthier lifestyle. I’m not perfect, but being the gatekeeper of what comes into our home and goes into our bodies is my number one priority.

This is what ultimately led me to Young Living. After realizing that many of the products in my house were, in fact, disrupting our endocrine systems, being absorbed into our blood streams, and effecting our bodies, I started making the switch. I got rid of the junk and replaced it with a safe and healthy alternative with a company that I could fully stand behind. I love their mission and purpose.

In July of 2018, I was able to visit the Young Living farm in Mona, Utah. I toured their greenhouses, watched them distill juniper, met their friendly workers, sat under the trees with my feet in the creek, and took photos in the fields of Melissa. It felt like a dream!

Young Living’s Mission

”We honor our stewardship to champion nature's living energy, essential oils, by fostering a community of healing and discovery while inspiring individuals to wellness, purpose, and abundance.”

Their Purpose

“Young Living is a universally known, household name that is revered and respected for the countless benefits it brings to humanity. Propelled by the world’s purest essential oils and oil-infused products, along with our passionate commitment to empowering individuals to whole-life wellness, we champion the modern essential oil movement. A global, purpose-driven wellness revolution is underway, and Young Living leads the charge.”

Since discovering Young Living, we have ditched our toxic products and switched to their safe, non-toxic, essential oil infused products that you can find in every corner of our home. We are healthier because of it, and I have peace of mind knowing I am putting my family’s health first, as the gatekeeper of our home.

There are some things you can control, and some you can’t. You can’t fully control the air you’re breathing, what might be exactly in a public water source, or the many pollutants and toxins you’re exposed to when leaving the house everyday, but you CAN in fact control what comes into your home, and what you put ON and IN your body. Again, we are the gatekeepers.

Every household is different, says Elizabeth Sword, executive director of the Children's Health Environmental Coalition (CHEC), in Princeton, N.J., but we should all look to the same general sources when trying to determine what hazards we're facing. Air, food, water, and consumer products are what Sword calls the "organizing principles" of confronting environmental risks.

If I told you there were essential oils to help purify your air and water and there were consumer products that would SUPPORT your body rather than disrupting it’s systems and causing harm, would you want to know more?

Europe bans over 1300 chemicals in consumer products while the US has only 11 banned. Why is this? It’s because we aren’t doing our jobs over here in the states and we are ALLOWING this to happen. Every time you buy a toxic product you’re feeding the system and the cycle continues.

There is another way! I’ve made the change and feel better than ever, especially knowing that I have made that change for my children as well.

Thieves is life.

Young Living has a FULL line of safe, non-toxic, effective products. The Thieves line is my ultimate favorite! They have everything from foaming hand soap, laundry detergent, hand purifier, toothpaste, dishwasher powder and more!

The legend of “Thieves” and how it got it’s name is based on a story from around the 15th century, when the bubonic plague was running rampant through Europe and Asia. Four thieves who were notoriously robbing the infectious dead bodies of all their possessions never contracted the highly infectious plague. They inhaled the plants that make up Thieves to keep illness away.

There are HUNDREDS of products, supplements, essential oils, makeup and more. My mission is to help people understand there’s another way and inspire them to make the change…
