The Beginning

People often ask me why I chose dōTERRA for my essential oils. Well, my oil experience actually started with "another brand" which I used sporadically for a year or two. I didn't use them daily because I just didn't really get it, ya know? I tried, I really did.

One night I decided to place a large order of that brand and finally jump in to learning more about the oils, their uses, and the company itself. It wasn't long before I realized this wasn't the place for me especially once I had started reading about how important it is to use pure essential oils. I mean, if they aren't pure what's the point, right? You might as well use OTC products if you're not going to use the purest oils available.

Shortly after placing that order I had an epiphany. Well, it was really more of an intervention than an epiphany. I told one of my friends what my plan was and she decided she could not stay silent any longer! We hadn't known each other for very long and I respect the fact that she didn't jump right in with a "my oils are better than yours" attitude. She helped me with some research about essential oils, taught me about the Biblical references to essential oils, and literally said, STOP THIS MADNESS!

Very soon after I started my journey with dōTERRA, and if I'm being completely honest, the switch was more to start a business than anything else. There I said it! I initially only switched companies to have support in the business but I can assure you that it wasn't long before I knew I had made the right decision and it had nothing to do with the business side of it at all.

I learned so much in such a small span of time. I learned how to use the oils effectively, what was safe and what wasn't, and the best way to purchase them and get the best value possible. The amount of education and support I received was amazing to say the least. I thought that getting these proven-to-be-pure oils at wholesale cost was great! I had no idea that I could get them for even less than wholesale. What??? I signed up for dōTERRA's Loyalty Rewards Program (LRP) to earn money back and I now receive 30% of every order back in money to spend on more oils PLUS I get paid to share the education with others. Is this a dream?!?

Today I look back at that period of time and think WOW! I would never have dreamed I would be a Platinum Leader in dōTERRA just 13 months later. I thoroughly enjoy traveling to my teams out of my immediate area and supporting them on their journey the way I have been supported on mine. I can truly say I love what I do! 💕
