Essential Oils ... The key to health and wellness



Six years ago I started my journey with essential oils and It has literally changed the way I think about my health. 


What I mean is….instead of calling to make a Dr appointment as a first line of defense, now I simply reach for an oil. It may sound crazy but it's really not. Essential oils have become a HOUSEWORD word. In fact, 6 years ago I had to explain what an Essential oil was and now ... 5 years later I teach on WHY the quality of an Essential Oil is so important. (click HERE for more info) 


Are you overwhelmed just thinking about oils? I don’t blame you! I was too when I first started. 


I had no idea how to use an oil let alone what to use it for … even more importantly ... I had no idea how powerful they really were! They are Key to your health and wellness.


I'll show you a few of my favorite oils that I use on a daily basis to keep me and my family healthy, boost our immune system and to help with what ails us. 


1. Lavender 

It can help reduce stress, help with better sleeping habits and bring calmness into your world. Promotes skin health and a great oil to promote hair growth.  Got too close to the stove? Grab the lavender. A nice perk about lavender … it smells lovely!


2. Lemon

Lemon has antiviral and antihistamines properties. It's a natural antibacterial making it a great natural cleaner. The perfect oil to make a natural cleaner and gives off a lovely scent. A great oil to keep around for insect bites or wounds. Have a sticky label? Use a drop of lemon oil. 

And … Beware when using lemon oil in the sun, it may cause senstivy to the skin.


3. Peppermint  

Apply a few drops of peppermint on your stomach to alleviate that yucky feeling in your belly, an upset stomach or stomach cramps. Apply on chest to relive that annoying  hacking going on in your chest.

Need to focus or feel like you can’t concentrate? Grap your bottle of peppermint  and sniff away. Its a great bottle to have at work or while driving to stay focued. The oil to reach for when you have head or neck tension.


4. Clove

This oil is one I rely on heavily when I have any sort of discomfort. Can’t get to the dentist? Go for the clove oil! Its a great numbing agent. Clove is the oil to grab for insect bites, fungus infections, atheletes foot and bruises.

 Do you have ear discomfort? Put a drop on a cottton ball along with a hint of a carrier oil and tuck right inside the ear. Careful to never put oils directly in the ear canal. Disfuse to repel moquitoes. 


The best way to get started and to save a ton of money is to get the Premium Starter Kit. Click HERE for more info.

The moment we heard the doctor say…


“ITS A BOY”


My husband and I were over the top excited with the birth of our second child.


Those words were music to our ears, UNTIL the music was drowned out by, “Your baby boy has a birth defect, your son is born with spina bifida”. The next few days were a blur of emotions. I was scared, really scared.


I was 22 years old. We were young parents. This was not suppose to happen!


We were told that our baby would need a shunt placed in the ventricles of his brain to relieve the pressure of the spinal fluid on his brain, better known as, hydrocephalus. This was all so foreign and terrifying. Surgery after surgery became our baby’s life.


FEAR, SADNESS, ANGER, DISAPPOINTMENT, GUILT and BLAME on MYSELF became part of my world. Would our baby boy have brain damage? Would he walk? Let alone…live?

Surgeries and long hospital stays all took a toll on my emotional well being.


Instead of being raw and vulnerable with my feelings, I buried them. I was “Super Mom” (or at least that’s what I thought). I learned to wear a mask and I was good at it. I looked the part and I acted the part because I was “Super Mom”. 


However, I pushed my feelings down DEEPI pretended they were not there. This way I DID NOT NEED TO FEEL so deeply. It took awhile to notice, years to be exact, but I was slowly losing control of my emotions. My stress was going through the roof. Panic attacks and depression became real in my life.


Years passed.... 


At the age of 23, our son developed a brain infection which caused him to have colonic status seizures (you know, the kind that do not stop except through medicinal interventions). TERRIFYING to watch!

To top it all off, my husband survived a heart attack (thankfully he is doing well), my mom died of breast cancer, and a few years later my dad died of bladder cancer.


All of this added even MORE STRESS and WORRY.


By Gods grace, and because of our deep faith in HIM, we have and continue to weather the storms. 


Because of the RESEARCH I've done, today, WE DO LIFE differently. We’ve discovered ways to implement and make changes that support our IMMUNE SYSTEMS as well as our EMOTIONAL and BRAIN health. We’ve made changes in the amount of TOXINS that we surround ourselves with. We have become more aware of how “toxic exposure” has an affect on the internal structure of our brain and can trigger both short and long term effects. 


I’ve also found ways to manage my stress level. Those terrifying panic attacks no longer torment me. We have  found the tools we need to live our BEST LIFE, and for that, I am grateful. 


It's our life, and though there are parts of it that we continue to look for solutions in, we will continue to move forward. 


LIFE IS A JOURNEY, and it is BEAUTIFUL. 


If any part of my story connects with your own story I would love to chat and connect with you.
