How I Became an Oil g’OIL
In 2012, the power of pure, therapeutic grade essential oils came into my world and changed my life. I had been experiencing a long bout of health issues related to hormone imbalance, including chronic migraine headaches and losing my singing voice. I’d found only limited solutions and short-lived relief with traditional medical approaches. I’m neither anti-drug nor anti-doctor; I am thankful for modern medicine and believe there’s a time and place for both when it is necessary. But, I wasn’t comfortable with the idea of being dependent on medications for the rest of my life, even though it did provide some short-lived relief.
A friend suggested I try some essential oils that were life changing for her family, and I was amazed at the results I experienced after using the oils. I’m a researcher by nature, so I spent a lot of time learning about how, and why, therapeutic grade oils do what they do in the body. I was especially fascinated with the biblical history of oils. The biblical knowledge I was learning, combined with the new quality of daily wellness I was experiencing, became a rev-OIL-ation I love sharing with others.
God made our bodies to live in health and wellness. He also made plants – with the essential oils that are in them – long before these oils ever ended up in bottles!
Because of my passion for living well naturally, my dōTERRA essential oils business happened… naturally. People smelled the oils I applied to myself and asked me about them. The next thing I knew, I was sharing what I’d learned and helping them learn about health and wellness with oils, too. I jokingly referred to myself as “Oil g’OIL” and, just like the wonderful oil aromas people noticed on me, the Oil g’OIL name stuck, too!
