my oily story

I used to live every day with headaches, a twist in my gut, and inexplicable anxious and fearful feelings from my (at the time undiagnosed!) hypervigilance.

One day, in 2013, I met Liz, a massage therapist, and after telling her about my headaches,

asked if she could try some essential oils during my massage. I'd never heard of essential oils, I was pretty sure they were just nice-smelling placebos (read: BS!), and I was sure they wouldn't work, but I consented.

I got up from the table after 30 minutes with my headache gone and feeling more refreshed than I remembered feeling for a long time. I had to know more.

That was over 14 years ago.

And I'm more convinced than ever of the power of these little brown bottles of oily goodness!

I use them every day in a variety of ways, still for headaches and anxious feelings, and also for my immune system and digestion, for my skin, my hair, and the gash on my leg from a fight with a shovel. In diffusers and in my water. On my skin and in my body. On my dogs and on everyone I meet if they let me.

I've "drunk the kool-aide" and my house is flooded with oils! I'm not ashamed because I know they are real, they work, and they have brought such change in my life and in so many others' lives, too. They've helped me with the work of healing from trauma, both emotionally and physically. They continue to support my journey of healing and spiritual growth.

I'd love to talk to you about finding oily tools for your emotional journey of healing, too! Feel free to email me and ask about which oils would best support you.

aromatherapy: Hype or hope?

Did you know that our sense of smell is directly connected to memory in the brain?

You've probably experienced it - a smell that takes you back to a memory,

like baking cookies (Grandma's house), or the smell of fire

(also Grandma's house because they used to heat with firewood and I did NOT like it),

or the smell of the earth (my happy place!).

HOW DOES IT WORK?

The olfactory sense (smell) is directly related to the limbic system,

which is involved in the processing and regulating of stress, emotions,

the formation and storage of memories, arousal, and learning.

Aroma can activate your fight-or-flight (or freeze, fib, or fawn) response,

which can dynamically affect basic physical functions like breathing and heart rate,

and floods your system with hormones to make your body ready to respond to threats.

In a nutshell, AROMA allows deeper access to EMOTIONS

so you are more able to move through the "sticky" ones.

So, what if you could use this scientific reality to your advantage

in the process of recovery from trauma and pain,

both in releasing stored memories and supporting you in the present moment, too?

Aromatherapy seeks to do just that - positively influence your emotional response.

Using essential oils, these scents safely and profoundly affect behavioral response to emotions

through the stimulation of memory and limbic activity.

Aromatherapy helps unlock emotions trapped inside memory and shut-down places,

guiding our emotions to the surface so we can release them effectively.

Through a simple inhalation of a pure, potent, natural essential oil,

we find support and sustenance for our emotional healing.

WHY dōTERRA?

I use dōTERRA oils exclusively for both my personal use and to create the JOURNEY blends. Here's why:

1. Co-Impact Sourcing: the commitment to harvesting the best products in a sustainable way to both the planet and the people who grow and harvest them. This Co-Impact Sourcing enables growers and harvesters,

many of which live in developing countries, to be self-sustaining through fair labor practices and wages,

and microloans so they can become their own bosses. dōTERRA does not deplete resources or settle for lesser quality sources. They leave the place better than they found it. Amazing.

2. CPTG Grade: their quality is the best available anywhere. Period. Their testing for purity and potency is the best in the world and their scientists are the best in the world. In a world where standards don't mean much, at dōTERRA, they mean everything.

3. Pursuing Excellence: they are consistent in quality and continue to work to improve. That means that they continually work to go further and don't rest on their past accomplishments and accolades, which I really respect. It's not often you find a company that is willing to keep pursuing excellence, rather than maintaining the status quo ofwhat's worked in the past, especially when at dōTERRA, it's been working really dang well!

4. Aromatic Heaven: I've smelled a lot of other oils, from the super cheap ones you find at the grocery store to the fancy, expensive ones you have to special order. dōTERRA oils smell the best, hands down. They have a smoothness and "center" to their scent that I know comes from their purity and potency... and something deeper I can't quite explain except to say: it's magic!

Finally, you can do a membership with no strings attached or purchase requirements that gets you a 25% discount on everything dōTERRA makes, and additional perks if you choose to order often (free oils, people!)
