Debra Starkey, N.D., M.H., C.N.C.
Author • Speaker • Wellness Advocate • Mentor


I wholeheartedly believe that every individual striving to live with purpose deserves encouragement, truth, and support rooted in integrity. That’s been my mission from the beginning.

Whether you're a mother, a wellness seeker, or a leader-in-the-making, my desire is to equip you with the tools and confidence to walk boldly in your calling. Through faith-based wisdom, natural living, and empowered choices, you have the ability to transform not just your own life—but the lives of those around you. I'm here to walk that journey with you.


My mission is to inspire and equip women who feel called to a more natural, intentional lifestyle—and want to share that calling with others.

Whether you're just starting out or stepping into leadership, I’m here to offer encouragement and practical guidance.

For over two decades, I’ve mentored women who began simply wanting to care for their families more naturally—many of whom now lead thriving wellness communities and purpose-driven businesses.

I believe your story, your faith, and your desire to serve can create a lasting impact. It’s an honor to walk this journey with you.
MORE ABOUT ME

For more than 20 years, I’ve dedicated my life to helping families live healthier, more natural lives. What started as a personal mission to support my own family’s wellness quickly turned into a passion for sharing what I was learning with others.

That journey led me to study nutrition, herbs, essential oils, and natural living—and eventually to earn certifications as a Naturopath, Master Herbalist, Aromatherapist, and Nutritional Counselor.

My passion is to help others take responsibility for their own health—through better nutritional choices, essential oils, supplements, herbs, chemical-free living, homemade bread, and people- and pet-friendly products. 
I’ve seen firsthand how these small, intentional choices can make a lasting impact on a family’s quality of life.
Although I’ve since retired from personal consulting, I continue to share what I’ve learned through my books, publications, and as a speaker at conferences, expos, and wellness events.

It’s been one of the greatest joys of my life to walk alongside others who are ready to take simple, practical steps toward better health.

The letters and testimonies I receive are constant reminders of why I do this work. To know that what I’ve shared has helped someone sleep better, breathe easier, or feel more empowered in their home—that’s the true reward.
"For I know the Plans I have for you, says the Lord."

WHY I CHOSE YOUNG LIVING

As an aromatherapist, I’ve researched and experienced many essential oil brands. None compare to the purity and integrity I’ve found in Young Living.

Their Seed to Seal® process, commitment to quality, and the heart of the founders and leadership team are why I trust them for myself and my family.

I’ve visited many of their farms, helped with distillation, and spent time with Gary and Mary Young as well as their incredible executive team behind the products.

If I couldn’t use Young Living, I simply wouldn’t use essential oils at all. I know that God wouldn’t have led me to share these amazing gifts if they weren’t the very best.

Still Sharing, Still Leading

Today, my husband Bill and I continue to travel and share this natural lifestyle with others.

I love mentoring those who want to embrace wellness for themselves and also feel called to help others do the same—whether that’s in their home, their community, or through building a business that supports their family’s values and future.

I believe that with faith, education, and a heart to serve, you can live well, live simply, and make a lasting difference.

The Story Behind My Wellness Mission
In 2002, life took an unexpected turn when I lost my husband, leaving me with significant debt and the responsibility of raising our daughter alone. Determined to find a path that allowed me to be present for my family, I embraced the world of natural wellness and direct selling. This journey wasn't easy, but it was transformative. I had the honor of sharing my story at the Direct Selling Mastermind Event. I invite you to watch this video to learn more about the challenges I faced and the purpose that drives me today.
