My journey in the wellness industry began nearly 30 years ago when I sought relief for gut issues and found it at a local spa that offered herbal body wraps. For someone that hated to be touched by people I didn't know, I was totally willing to do this a few times a year because of the amazing healing benefits of this treatment. The combination of the herbs, oils, and heat really caught my attention and over the years, my passion grew more and more until I finally made the decision to get into Massage Therapy. My friends were quite amazed I would ever get into touch therapies, knowing about my personal discomfort with touch, but it became something wonderfully powerful and healing on many levels.

​

I had already been in business as a Massage Therapist when I was introduced to essential oils by a friend that thought I might want to incorporate them into what I was providing for my clients (dōTERRA AromaTouch Technique®). At that time, I was still experiencing some gut pain and had tried numerous treatments over several months. When I met with my friend, I mentioned my gut pain and was introduced to a blend that changed everything. I applied it and within 15 minutes the pain was gone! Life. Changing. I have loved and used essential oils for over 15 years, but my passion for aromatherapy dramatically increased when I was searching for deeper knowledge in how to help myself as someone going through peri-menopause, and life as a caregiver.  ​

 

Essential Balance is for those who are interested in what we offer, but the dream really started to help people like me: women who are struggling to get their energy back and stop those hot flashes and irritable moods! But, it's also for women that care for others and need not only physical support, but mental and emotional support as well. The body holds onto emotion, and as a caregiver, one thing you most certainly deal with is grief -- the loss of freedom to do what you want, when you want; the loss of good health in your family member; the loss of energy; the loss of peace and good rest. This list can go on and on and I've seen too many caregivers struggle personally because of all they carry. I am one, so I know, and I see you. Essential oils can gently help you release what's being "held in" or "stuffed down" so you can get out of fight-or-flight mode, and back into parasympathetic (rest and digest) mode again. As you begin to experience healing yourself, you'll be able to better care for those that depend on you. 

 

Through my own journey, I've discovered ways to not only help myself, but others as well.
