Cassia Spotlight - Sept 2025

Cassia Essential Oil
Spotlight

 Often overshadowed by its cousin Cinnamon Bark, Cassia is a hidden gem with powerful benefits for both the mind and body. This oil is bold, energizing, and grounding - all wrapped in a sweet, spicy scent that feels like a warm hug.

If you’re looking to support your immune system, boost circulation, lift your spirits naturally, or create the coziest warm space,  this is the oil you’ll want in your wellness toolkit.

Just a Drop of Cassia

  • Warming and spicy aroma, similar to cinnamon but slightly sweeter
  • Supports immune and digestive health
  • Helps with healthy blood sugar levels and circulation
  • Soothes tired or achy muscles
  • Uplifts mood and eases feelings of stress or low energy
  • Pairs beautifully with citrus, woodsy, or floral oils
Cassia essential oil has a rich, warm scent reminiscent of autumn baking, but its power goes far beyond aroma. With a long-standing reputation in traditional medicine, this oil is both grounding and invigorating - making it ideal for fall routines when our bodies and minds crave warmth, resilience, and balance.

Background

Cassia has been used for thousands of years in Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine for its ability to support digestion, stimulate circulation, and strengthen the immune system. Historically, it was also used in religious ceremonies and even mentioned in ancient texts, including the Bible, Ebers Papyrus, and ancient Egyptian prescription lists.

Today, Cassia is cherished not only for its therapeutic qualities but also for its vibrant scent, often found in perfumes and natural cleaning products.

The oil is extracted through steam distillation of the tree’s branches, leaves, and petioles, resulting in a potent, reddish-brown essential oil that embodies both strength and sweetness.

Cassia & Emotions

Cassia is more than just a physical support - it’s emotionally grounding and energetically uplifting. It’s known to boost feelings of courage, self-confidence, and creativity.

If you're feeling emotionally stuck, uninspired, or weighed down by stress or sadness, Cassia can help awaken your inner fire. Diffuse it during your morning routine, or apply (well diluted) to pulse points as an emotional anchor. Because it’s such a stimulating oil, it pairs beautifully with softer oils like lavender or frankincense to bring balance.

Cassia, The Heartwarmer

In Chinese medicine there are fascinating theories around using herbs with certain properties to balance the body. Conditions are categorized by influences such as cold vs. heat. Imbalance of “cold” relates to stiffness, decreased energy and vitality, lethargy, and congested flow of all of the body’s fluids.

Cassia is an herb of warmth that brings an invigorating energy into our organs and immune system. This oil is supportive of the heart, lungs, and digestive system, increasing movement when these systems are weakened.

We can remember Cassia’s benefits as heartwarming, like the friend who always helps us find our spark in life again, who kindles our dreams and shares their own energy with us, lifting our spirits.

Cassia and Health Benefits

Antioxidant Support

Much like its cousin Cinnamon, Cassia is rich in antioxidants that fight free radical damage within the body. Inflammation and oxidative stress are linked to a host of health issues including cancer.

Circulation

Cassia’s warming nature stimulates circulation, which can be especially helpful during the colder months. Improved circulation supports overall vitality and can even reduce the feeling of cold hands and feet.

Digestive Health

Traditionally used to ease nausea, bloating, and sluggish digestion, Cassia can be diluted and applied to the abdomen or diffused to support a healthy gut response—especially after a heavy meal.

Immune Health + Cleansing Properties

Thanks to its antibacterial and antiviral properties, Cassia is a powerful oil to have on hand during seasonal changes. Diffusing it regularly can help purify the air and support immune defenses. Some studies even show antifungal effects of this oil, making it a great choice for diffusing and cleaning!

Blood Sugar Balance

Cassia is known to help support healthy blood sugar levels and may benefit those with diabetes. “More research is needed to determine the potential of cassia oil as an effective treatment for type 2 diabetes, but the increased interest in this oil’s ability to naturally treat such problematic conditions is very promising.”

Muscles & Arthritis

Cassia’s anti-inflammatory and warming properties make it soothing for sore, stiff muscles and joints. In fact, some studies show it to be comparable to COX-II inhibitors like OTC pain relievers! Dilute with a carrier oil and massage into areas of discomfort for natural relief.

Key Constituents
*Constituents are naturally occurring compounds in plants (and therefore essential oils) that give them specific health-supporting properties

  • Cinnamaldehyde - Supports immune health, antimicrobial, gives Cassia its signature scent
  • Cinnamyl acetate - Calming to the nervous system, adds a sweet undertone to aroma
  • Linalool - Known for calming and anti-inflammatory properties
  • Beta-caryophyllene - Supports inflammation reduction and immune modulation
Daily Habits with Cassia

Use in your self-care routine. Cassia is considered a “hot” oil, meaning it should be diluted before applying to the skin

Add 1 drop to a warm foot soak with Epsom salts for circulation and muscle support.

Make a simple massage oil with 20 drops of Cassia and ¼ cup carrier oil to massage onto legs for circulation.

Dilute and apply to the abdomen after meals to ease digestion.

Combine with coconut oil for a warming muscle rub (great for menstrual cramping!).

Add it to your Daily Wellness Roller:
  • 10mL roller bottle
  • 10 drops each: Cassia, Oregano, Frankincense, Lemon, and RC or Raven
  • Fill with carrier oil of choice
    Roll over the spine and lymph nodes morning and evening
Add a couple drops of to your favorite perfume roller for a warm, spicy undertone.
  • Joy, Tangerine + Cassia
  • Jasmine, Neroli, Stress Away + Cassia
  • Ylang Ylang, Lavender, Tangerine + Cassia
Make a Vanilla Spice Sugar Scrub
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup solid coconut oil
  • 5 drops Vanilla
  • 5 drops Cassia
    Mix essential oils and brown sugar in a glass bowl until well blended, then add coconut oil until the scrub reaches your desired consistency
    Massage the skin in a circular motion and rinse well. This also makes a lovely gift!

Use to create a cozy home.

Drop onto pinecones, garlands and other seasonal decor to create a simple passive diffuser.

Clove Spotlight - Sept 2025

Clove Essential Oil
Spotlight

 Clove essential oil has a warm, spicy aroma that is lovely on its own and adds so much depth to other scents! This oil is rich and inviting, cleansing the air and creating a welcoming environment when diffused.

Applied to the skin with a carrier oil, Clove creates a warming sensation which is soothing to the muscles. It is also a powerhouse antioxidant that helps support the immune system and overall wellness. In fact, Clove is one of the ingredients in the beloved Thieves Essential Oil Blend!

Just a Drop of Clove

  • Has a warm, spicy, inviting aroma that pairs well with citrus, spice and tree oils
  • Creates a warm, welcoming environment and eliminates odors when diffused
  • Creates a warming sensation when applied topically and is soothing to sore, tired muscles and joints
  • Supports immune health and overall wellness
  • Great addition to household cleaning products like Thieves Household Cleaner
  • Can help relieve dental discomfort
  • Has the highest known ORAC value, a measure of antioxidant capacity
  • A main component of Longevity blend and supplement
Background

Clove has been used in the natural health world for centuries. It was listed in Hildegard's Medicine, a compilation of early German medicines by highly regarded Benedictine Herbalists, Hildegard of Bingen (1098-1179).

Native to the Maluku Islands of Indonesia, the clove tree is a tropical evergreen species that produces thousands of small, fragrant flower buds. These buds are harvested when they ripen to a deep red color, then dried and steam distilled to produce Clove essential oil.

Healers in China and India have used clove buds since ancient times as part of their treatments for various needs – stomach issues, heart needs, emotions, and more. Eugenol, cloves' principal constituent, was used in the dental industry for years to numb gums and ease dental discomfort.

Clove & the Immune System

Clove bud (Syzygium aromaticum) essential oil is a commonly studied defender against many strains of bacteria (a quick PubMed search will show you lots of great studies!).

Clove bud essential oil is composed primarily (80+%) of the molecule Eugenol. Eugenol is a potent defender against numerous harmful bacteria. The Eugenol molecule loves to hang around moist surfaces. Clove bud oil also contains about 10% of a related molecule Eugenyl acetate – also a strong defender against bacteria.

Clove was a primary ingredient of the “Four Thieves Vinegar” which protected bandits who rummaged the homes and graves of the dead during the black plague. This recipe is the basis for our beloved Thieves Essential Oil Blend!

Clove essential is also loaded with powerful antioxidants, such as polyphenols. Antioxidants are a huge bolster to health since so much of our modern life can create oxidative stress in the body. Antioxidants also help support the body's response to inflammation, which plays a role in almost all chronic diseases.

Clove is a key ingredient in the Longevity Essential Oil Blend and the Longevity supplement -- a great choice for overall wellness and promoting longevity!

Clove & Emotions

In Chinese medicine there are fascinating theories around using herbs with certain properties to balance the body. Conditions are categorized by influences such as cold vs. heat. Imbalance of “cold” relates to stiffness, decreased energy and vitality, lethargy, and congested flow of all of the body's fluids.

Clove and Cinnamon Bark are herbs of warmth that bring an invigorating energy into our organs and immune system. Clove is a powerful antioxidant, making it supportive of the heart, lungs, and digestive system, increasing movement when these systems are weakened.

Starbs Run Diffuser Blends - Sept 2025

Starbs Run Diffuser Blends

There’s nothing quite like that first whiff of your favorite coffee shop drink - the sweet, the spicy, the warm, the fresh. Now you can bring those comforting café vibes into your home with these diffuser blends, each inspired by a beloved hot beverage.

Whether you’re craving the zesty lift of Honey Mint Citrus, the spicy hug of Cozy Chai, or the decadent sweetness of Peppermint Hot Chocolate, these blends will fill your space with the same inviting aromas you love from your go-to coffee shop.

So grab your oils, press “brew” on your diffuser, and let’s run to the coffee shop - no drive-thru required.

Our diffusers are running 24/7 in our homes, supporting our immune systems, respiratory systems, emotions, cleansing the air and making things smell happy and inviting all at the same time. 

LIFE HACK - You can easily transform these blends into roller recipes and sprays!

To make a 10 mL roller from any recipe - triple the number of drops to make a total of 35-45 total drops, add a carrier of choice (we love V-6 Vegetable Oil Complex) and you're good to go.

To make a 2 oz spray from any recipe - double the number of drops to a total of about 25 drops, ad a splash of witch hazel and fill with filtered water. Spray on upholstered surfaces, bedding, rugs, anywhere you want to freshen!

To make an epsom salt bath mix - add desired amount of oils (we generally use about 10 drops) to 1 cup of epsom salts, then place under warm running water. Note: we generally avoid 'hot' oils (like Cypress, Oregano, and Lemongrass) in bath recipes. Use your own judgement, or stick to the more soothing and relaxing blends.

To make a 2 oz massage oil from any recipe - double the number of drops (or use your desired amount depending on the essential oils used) to a pump-top bottle, then add V-6 Vegetable Oil Complex or other carrier oil to top off the bottle. Invert to mix, then used as desired.

Back to School - If You're Feeling Diffuser Blends - August 2025

If You're Feeling...
Back to School Diffuser Blends

The back-to-school season brings a swirl of emotions - from excitement and motivation to nerves and overwhelm. Whether you're a student, parent, or educator, navigating these shifts can feel like a rollercoaster.

Thankfully, nature offers powerful support through essential oils. This guide pairs six common back-to-school emotions with carefully selected single oils, helping you stay balanced, focused, and grounded as the school year begins. Use them in the diffuser, a roller blend, or simply apply them straight from the bottle and let scent be your steady companion through the season of new beginnings.

Our diffusers are running 24/7 in our homes, supporting our immune systems, respiratory systems, emotions, cleansing the air and making things smell happy and inviting all at the same time. 


If You're Feeling... Excited - Diffuse: Grapefruit

Grapefruit is energizing, fresh, and emotionally uplifting. It captures that “new beginnings” buzz without being overstimulating.

Use when you’re buzzing with anticipation — or need a natural boost to match that energy.



If You're Feeling... Anxious - Diffuse: Roman Chamomile

Roman Chamomile is deeply calming for the nervous system, easing tension and helping with sleep and overwhelm.

Perfect for the night before the first day or when schedules feel chaotic.



If You're Feeling... Overwhelmed - Diffuse: Frankincense

Frankincense is grounding and centering. It helps quiet the mind and promotes focus - ideal when to-do lists feel never-ending.

Think of it as a deep breath in a bottle.



If You're Feeling... Motivated - Diffuse: Rosemary

Rosemary stimulates memory, focus, and drive. It’s excellent for study sessions, early mornings, or sluggish afternoons.

Sharpens the mind and helps shake off procrastination.


If You're Feeling... Sad - Diffuse: Bergamot

Bergamot is known for its mood-lifting and emotionally balancing effects. It comforts and softens heavy feelings without sedation.

Great for both kids and parents who feel the emotional pull of transition.


If You're Feeling... Confident - Diffuse: Cedarwood

Cedarwood promotes emotional strength, self-assurance, and calm presence. It’s steady and stabilizing, perfect for interviews, tests, or new social settings.

Smells like inner strength and quiet bravery.


Whether you're looking to boost confidence, deepen your sense of love, or maintain calmness amidst the excitement, these specially selected oils provide a harmonious accompaniment to your once-in-a-lifetime celebration. Embrace each moment with the perfect scent to match your emotions, ensuring your wedding day is both memorable and magical.

LIFE HACK - You can easily transform these blends into roller recipes and sprays!

To make a 10 mL roller from any recipe - triple the number of drops to make a total of 35-45 total drops, add a carrier of choice (we love V-6 Vegetable Oil Complex) and you're good to go.

To make a 2 oz spray from any recipe - double the number of drops to a total of about 25 drops, ad a splash of witch hazel and fill with filtered water. Spray on upholstered surfaces, bedding, rugs, anywhere you want to freshen!

To make an epsom salt bath mix - add desired amount of oils (we generally use about 10 drops) to 1 cup of epsom salts, then place under warm running water. Note: we generally avoid 'hot' oils (like Cypress, Oregano, and Lemongrass) in bath recipes. Use your own judgement, or stick to the more soothing and relaxing blends.

To make a 2 oz massage oil from any recipe - double the number of drops (or use your desired amount depending on the essential oils used) to a pump-top bottle, then add V-6 Vegetable Oil Complex or other carrier oil to top off the bottle. Invert to mix, then used as desired.

Happy diffusing!!

Collagen Peptide Serum Spotlight - July 2025

Collagen Peptide Serum Spotlight

Look young, feel young, and live young with this amazing new skin serum. This age-defying serum visibly firms, brightens, and smooths with natural botanicals from farms that support reforestation and orchid conservation. The Collagen Peptide Serum is a win for everyone!

Note: This product is only available for convention attendees in the month of July. It will be available to all members at a later date - stay tuned!

Collagen Peptide Serum at a Glance

  • Sea fennel extract offers the benefits of retinol without the irritation and dryness, supporting healthy collagen production and visible elasticity, while minimizing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
  • Vegan collagen peptides work to restore a visible firmness to skin and visibly diminish fine lines and wrinkles
  • Patents-pending DeepSpectra technology captures boswellic acids from Frankincense, which help reduce the appearance of uneven skin tone.
  • Antioxidants help shield from environmental stressors to make the skin appear brighter and more supple
  • Hydrating Royal Hawaiian Sandalwood, Rose, and Ylang Ylang blend may promote the appearance of youthful-looking skin.
Say hello to beauty sleep in a tube with this incredible, vegan collagen serum! Powered by vegan collagen peptides, sea fennel extract, and frankincense-derived boswellic acids exclusively from DeepSpectra technology, this skin loving serum is a nature-based alternative to synthetic retinol with all the benefits minus the dryness, sensitization, and flaking.

Background

By age 40, most of us have lost 20% of the collagen in our skin. By age 50, that increases to 30%. When we lose collagen faster than we can rebuild, our skin takes a toll (even despite a healthy lifestyle and diet!). 

This is often when women reach for retinol – it has great benefits! But it is also infamous for redness, flaking ,irritation, and sun sensitivity.

What if we could get the same… or even better results than retinal but with clean ingredients? We can age gracefully and gorgeously!

With this Collagen Peptide Serum you can get the retinol results without all the harsh chemicals – and damage to the environment! This hydrating facial serum visibly reduces the look of fine lines and promotes a firmer appearance, without irritation or harsh chemicals. It’s packed with antioxidants that help skin appear brighter and more supple. Sustainably sourced Royal Hawaiian Sandalwood and Ylang Ylang essential oils add skin-loving benefits while supporting reforestation efforts in Hawaii and native orchid conservation in Ecuador - because both you and the earth deserve to age beautifully.

Key Ingredients

  • Collagen amino acids sustainably derived from microalgae make this product completely plant-based. When combined with Haematococcus pluvialis extract, this powerful duo helps stimulate natural collagen production, support a healthy skin barrier, restore a visible firmness, and hydrate the skin. Vegan collagen peptides are specifically designed to mimic or support the body’s own collagen production, without using any animal sources. While true collagen only comes from animals, vegan collagen peptides are essentially bioactive peptides + nutrients that stimulate collagen synthesis and protect existing collagen and when upcycled, they are made more sustainably. Read more about vegan collagen peptides and how incredible they are in the clinical study!
Hydrating Botanicals
A blend of watermelon, lentil, and apple extracts works alongside sunflower seed oil, sodium hyaluronate, and squalane to plump and hydrate the skin. Together, these botanicals provide an instant boost of plumping hydration that lasts up to 24 hours.

  • Watermelon rind is one of nature’s few materials to contain citrulline, which supports filaggrin, a key part of the skin’s natural moisturizing complex.
  • Lentil extract is high in vitamin B5 and trisaccharides, which help retain moisture.
  • Apple extract provides polysaccharides, sodium lactate, and sodium PCA for long-lasting hydration.
  • Sea fennel extract naturally supports collagen production, improves skin elasticity, and minimizes the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. This is nature’s answer to retinol! All the benefits (and more) – enhances skin brightness and reduces crows feet wrinkles even better than retinol. Rich in antioxidants, vitamins A, C, and E this extract is gentle enough for sensitive skin – no flaking or dryness that retinol can cause. Sustainably sourced, sea fennel has a much lower environmental impact than conventional options.
  • Boswellic acids from Frankincense help reduce the appearance of uneven skin tone. Boswellic acid is extracted via Deep Spectra technology to extract even more beneficial compounds than other methods. It also uses all parts of the plant so as to reduce environmental impact.
  • Royal Hawaiian Sandalwood, Rose, and Ylang Ylang essential oils hydrate and promote youthful skin.
How To Use Collagen Peptide Serum

With clean hands, gently press 1 dropper of this hydrating collagen and sea fennel serum into clean, dry skin morning and night. Avoid the eye area.

Background

Lavender and vanilla have long been cherished for their soothing and relaxing properties, both in traditional and modern wellness practices. Lavender oil has been used for centuries in ancient Egypt, Greece, and Rome for its calming fragrance and healing qualities. It was often incorporated into baths, perfumes, and even medical treatments to promote relaxation and reduce anxiety.

Similarly, vanilla carries a warm, sweet aroma that is deeply comforting and emotionally grounding. Though its use became widespread after the 16th century with the rise of global trade, vanilla was considered a sacred and luxurious substance by the Totonac and Aztec civilizations of Mesoamerica. Together, these oils are widely used in aromatherapy today, valued for their natural ability to ease stress, improve sleep quality, and create a sense of calm and emotional balance.

 Key Ingredients

  • Lavender essential oil - Lavender oil, rich in linalool and linalyl acetate, is cherished for its gentle yet powerful calming effects. Widely used to ease stress, support restful sleep, and soothe irritated skin, it blends therapeutic function with a clean, floral aroma. It is a wonderful  and elegant tool for both emotional and physical balance.
  • Vanilla - Vanilla offers a warm, comforting scent that evokes a sense of calm and emotional well-being. Though technically an oleoresin or absolute rather than a true essential oil, it is highly valued in aromatherapy for its ability to ease tension and uplift the spirit. Its antioxidant and soothing properties also make it a luxurious addition to skincare and natural fragrance blends.

Seaside Simplified Spotlight - July 2025

Simplified Seaside Spotlight

Treat your senses to the crisp, luxurious smell of Seaside! Inspired by the salty ocean air and warm summer nights, this blend is a vacation in a bottle. Made with Neroli from the blossoms of the bitter orange tree near the Mediterranean ocean, herbaceous Cypress and Sage, plus citrus notes of Orange and Lime, this blend is definitely one you will want to bask in all summer long!

Seaside at a Glance

Citrusy and herbaceous with a slight floral note. No matter how you use this oil blend, you will absolutely love it!

 Key Ingredients

  • Neroli - Neroli has a fresh, uplifting floral aroma that is often used in luxury perfumes and skin care products.

This versatile citrus oil is a favorite for everything from cleaning to cooking to immune and emotional support! This zesty citrus oil uplifts the senses and supports feelings of clarity and positivity and also has high levels of antioxidants and limonene, which supports the immune system!
  • Cypress - Cypress is one of our favorite conifer oils - deep, woodsy and full of incredible health benefits. Cypress is calming and grounding and wonderful for releasing stored emotions. It helps ease feelings of loss and creates a sense of security. This oil also supports healthy circulation and heart health and is a popular choice for improving lymphatic flow.
  • Sage - Traditionally used in clearing rituals, Sage essential oil has a bold, herbaceous aroma that can be used aromatically for this same purpose. This herbaceous oil is calming and soothing to the mind and emotions, and pairs well with citrus oils to round out the overall aroma.
This combination of oils can be a powerful emotional tool as well. Cypress and Sage are both grounding and can help us process and release negative emotions.

Background

Spice oils like cinnamon, clove, ginger, and cardamom have been treasured for centuries, not only for their bold, aromatic flavors but also for their rich histories and therapeutic properties. Originating from ancient trade routes that connected East and West, these oils were once as valuable as gold, fueling exploration and global commerce.
  • Cinnamon oil, derived from the bark of Cinnamomum trees, was used in ancient Egypt for embalming and in religious rituals. 
  • Clove oil, native to the Spice Islands, was highly prized in medieval Europe for its ability to preserve food and ease dental pain.
  • Ginger oil, extracted from the rhizome of the Zingiber plant, has roots in Ayurvedic and Chinese medicine, valued for its warming and digestive properties.
  • Cardamom oil, known as the "queen of spices," was used in ancient India and the Middle East for both culinary and medicinal purposes. Today, these spice oils continue to be celebrated for their potent scents, culinary versatility, and natural wellness benefits.
  • Vanilla carries a warm, sweet aroma that is deeply comforting and emotionally grounding. Though its use became widespread after the 16th century with the rise of global trade, vanilla was considered a sacred and luxurious substance by the Totonac and Aztec civilizations of Mesoamerica. 
  • Together, these oils are widely used in aromatherapy today, valued for their natural ability to ease stress, improve sleep quality, and create a sense of calm and emotional balance.
Key Ingredients

  • Clove essential oil - The highest valued antioxidant known, clove is rich in eugenol and prized for its powerful analgesic, antiseptic, and anti-inflammatory qualities. Traditionally used to soothe toothaches and oral discomfort, it remains a go-to for immune support and relieving muscular tension.
  • Cinnamon bark essential oil - High in cinnamaldehyde and eugenol, cinnamon is revered for its warming, invigorating aroma and potent antimicrobial and circulatory-stimulating properties. Long cherished in traditional medicine, it supports immune health, eases digestive discomfort, and adds a comforting depth to aromatherapy blends.
  • Cardamom essential oil - Abundant in 1,8-cineole and terpinyl acetate, Cardamom is known for its gentle, uplifting scent and its ability to ease respiratory congestion and digestive upset. With its sweet, spicy notes and calming effect on the nervous system, cardamom is a favorite in blends that promote clarity and emotional balance.
  • Vanilla - Vanilla offers a warm, comforting scent that evokes a sense of calm and emotional well-being. Though technically an oleoresin or absolute rather than a true essential oil, it is highly valued in aromatherapy for its ability to ease tension and uplift the spirit. Its antioxidant and soothing properties also make it a luxurious addition to skincare and natural fragrance blends.

Hello! I'm Jennifer Meckel

 

I am very passionate about helping you achieve the best YOU that you can be!


A little about myself. I live in the Pacific Northwest in Washington State. I am married to a wonderful and supportive man named Sean since 2003 - all wonderful years. We have two smart and sassy daughters, Emmy is 10 and in 4th grade in the Mandarin Immersion program and Lilly is 6 and in kindergarten. I like to paper craft and make my own cards, I like to sew (though don’t have much time for that lately) and I just returned to belly dancing now that Lilly is getting bigger.


I’ve been using essential oils and infused products for since October 2015 and absolutely love this lifestyle and how it makes me and my family feel. I started my oily journey after sitting next to another mom at a play date.  We started talking about my infertility issues, and she suggested I try Young Living’s essential oils to support my hormones.  After a year of intentionally exercising, eating better, and using oils to support my hormones and emotions, I became pregnant with Lilly, right before my first time attending the International YL Convention in Salt Lake City in 2016. There is so much more to tell about this story, and I’m open and willing to share with you, if you are interested.


So, tell me more about yourself!  Tell me about the season of life you are in now. Tell me about your family. 


In health, wellness, and abundance!
