All in the Life: Gentle Reflections on Simple Living

making sure our kids were comfortable as they watched the night sky and putting our young one that missed a nap straight to bed in a new place. That night the wind never ceased, but slowed down at one place and picked up from where it left off trolloping across the tent and what felt like trampling on our heads.

On the second day we headed out to the Geode beds, our car climbed up and down and around the washboard roads, my car has yet to forgive me for taking it out on those rough roads. By the time we got back to camp from the geode beds the wind was still there. We wanted to have an amazing camping experience, so we packed up and headed home for a well deserved rest.

Sunday morning we knew we were not done with camping! We didn't have to pack the car again, the car was still loaded! We got cleaned up and headed out up the canyon to Diamond Fork campgrounds. We were able to secure a spot for the two days there!

We unloaded the car, pitched the tent, and went exploring! The kids went with their dad up a trail that taught them about habitats. While they were hiking the trail, I remembered I forgot to put DoTERRA Sunscreen on them. Two of the three of the group had sun burns, I'm incredibly grateful for DoTERRA Sun After Sun spray. I spray the after sun on the burn and it brings instant relief to the burn.

That night we roasted hot dogs and marshmallows, told stories and found things we learned from camping.

This was an incrredible time to be together and grow as a family!

improved Women's Circle flyers & change together Tuesdays to a weekend at 7 pm. I have printed off the Women's circle flyers & have deposited them at different locations, I have some more places to drop them off at as I go about places.

An incredible lesson I have learned that when you are healing with full heart & purpose you will feel more compassion to help others onto their healing journey. Two great resources I have found to help are "Do Small Things with Great Love" (chapter 8-9) By Sharon Eubank & a BYU devotional "Christlike Resiliency" by Elder Mark A. Bragg June 2026.

Another lesson I have learned is the small & simple things principle as well as principles of sequential order. I thought only Heavenly Father practiced this principle, but He is teaching me that I have the opportunity as well as others to practice this principle which is quite the opposite of what is going on in the world, which is too much too fast, or too little for too long. 

Growing u my personality in the past has been too much too fast, I've been always excited to get to the next best feeling or event & not being very intentional & frankly probably a little too careless. I listened to a talk from General Conference October 2021 titled "A House of Sequential Order", it helped me to realize that working with what I've got with the small & simple things principle great blessings & miracles will come about, for example instead of trying to pile so many chores daily on me & my family (as you can see in the photo above), we work on one task as a family to teach our children & not put ourselves in an overwhelmed state, which has been very common in my family much too often. So far we did one task as a family of gathering all the trash off the floors & taking the trash out to the dumpster.

Such a small task, but left us feeling a sense of renewal when we accomplished one small & simple task.

Also I wanted to mention some exciting news! I will be joining Dr. Aimie Apiggian & her team in the Biology of Trauma Practitioners course this Thursday so I can help women who have past parts of me that I see & I've been working on to become more resilient.

More heavenly downloads!

More changes have happened! I am now working side by side with my husband in creating our business, which is what I've been hopping for for a long time! I was prompted to start gathinging my materials to create courses within my "Within the Circle" Course page for my Doterra and doula community, for those to learn at their own pace. Which also means I need to hire someone to help me with marketing possibly, I'm working on being better at marketing! I prefer not to be on social media platforms because I get really distracted and want to be involved in it when it is better to be involved in-person.

You may have seen the updates in the tabs but I have 5 courses, the Women's Circle, Couples that want to learn but don't want to hire a doula, & those that are onboarding with me as their doula.

I love going to the temple to receive comfort, aid, and insight on what is to come in our business.

Tables are still flipping!

More things have changed, there are moments that have had their up and downs. I will be headed to the booth tomorrow and Saturday. I've prepped for practically everything I can think of at the moment. 

Currently I am look to use a yoga studio to host the Women's Circle. I would really like to do the circle at a local park, but due to the sketchy trail by it I am not comfortable using it, but have found it to be one of my sacred spot to get away from the noise in my home where I can ground and feel at peace even if I hear semis, trucks,  & cars passing by. I am also needing to post next week the Women's Circle flyers in a couple of places.

Lots more to come after the booths are finished tomorrow & Saturday!

More tables have flipped!

Things have changed so much! The booth in Cedar Hills has accepted our application! We will not be hosting the Sacred Bloom retreat at my parents vacation home due to a home insurance liability issue.

I am praying that things will workout for the better, that we can find a new venue for the retreat at a reasonable price. I've looked at Airbnb and Vrbo, they are way too expensive for Blossom & I to afford.

We've been messaging & Blossom keeps reminding me of the sweet simple truth that this is a redirection & that something better may come along. 

We may have these small goals in mind by Heavenly Father may have something much bigger & better for Blossom & I in our journey in our friendship & in business.

5/19/26

Changes are still moving

More changes have occured. The feeling of most likely having the booth for the Provo Farmers Market happening, fell through. They declined our application but still accepted us for the Utah Lake Festival on May 30th on the 17th. I proceeded to book another booth for the Cedar Hills Family Festival June 5th-6th. My business partner & I hope we will be accepted.

I felt a need for my family to eat better, so since I've been growing my sourdough starter on & off I am more decidedly keeping a starter pet in my home. I've noticed since eating fresh baked homemade sourdough bread my guts are feeling happier! It shows its happiness by the cues of hunger I feel & absent belly aches. I am grateful for granny skills which I enjoy & love! Because I feel so much joy & happiness when eating such good sourdough I desired to replace all the wheat options for sourdough, like bagel, crackers, tortillas, & yummy desserts.

Things are still progressing, straightening out, & getting better! I thank Heavenly Father for all the redirections so we can support those who would like to walk with us in healing themselves or in our purpose to help others heal. Life is good, life is grand, life is filled with joy because of our Lord & Savior, Jeus Christ!

Changes whether good or bad

There has been quite a few changes lately. I had to release someone from my partnership in friendship and business. I will not share their name on here because they are still dear and a precious friend to me, no matter how they felt about me or another member of my team. I wish this person all the love, faith, and charity on their journey in finding themselves and their true voice.

Here are the great things to come!

1. We've secured a booth at the Provo Farmers Market starting May 30th at Utah Lake to July 4th, August 8th, 22nd, and September 5th & 12th.

2. More things are working into alignment with the retreat. The new name of the retreat is Sacred Bloom. I've talked about it with the team and we want it to be a spiritual experience healing the mind, body, and soul and bringing others to Christ. At least that's what I believe we discussed as a team. We want to have a devotional of some sorts morning & night & an activity in the middle. The activities would be based on what the group wanted to do & the devotionals are so far going to be based on what prompting we may receive to talk about.

There's no coincidences!

There have been so many new things since the last time I posted.

Richard had the amazing opportunity to work in the Vernal temple in Vernal, Utah. He healed so much while being in the temple & fixing all the plumbing for the new big A/C unit he & the company were installing.

Feeling the call to get booths set up to promote DoTERRA, & the retreat we're hoping to hold the second week in July.

We still have a few things to decide upon, for example, activities, meals, etc.

To add to our adventure I made a new friend named Blossom! She has the exact same purpose I have which is to help heal women in all different aspects from before birth, to motherhood, and beyond, being an instrument in Heavenly Father's hands.

I'm excited to see where the adventure takes us! all I know is it won't be boring!

Renewal, Peace, & a New Fast Friendship!

So many incredibly wonderful & difficult things have happened since the last time I wrote in my blog. I am in a group in DoTERRA for Essential Emotions. Essential Emotions is made my Natalie Goddard & her team to recognize emotions in the reference book they have created as well as an emotions wheel, cards, & name the emotion picture & the essential oils that will help support you to move your body, your mind, & spirit into healing.

I'm in a specific group in whatsapp as a Breakthrough Circle Host of men & women who want to help others break out of stagnation & have more space for new things in their life. In November I send an invitation to a Women's Circle (I rebranded it from its original, Breakthrough Circle) to Laurel (name changed to protect) & she definitely wanted to but had to finish working her booth at some sort of holiday show giving people an opportunity to sample DoTERRA products. We ended up having to take some time, reprioritizing what was important at that moment, what was not over whatsapp, & work in harmony with our priorities.

I have never had such a wonderful fast friendship as I do with Laurel! I've had one friendship, but we were both unhealed & it quickly became a very toxic relationship for me. Laurel & I are so very similar & are working to heal so much!

Yesterday me & the kiddos left our home & traveled about 2 hours to her beautiful home for the first time. It was the most comforting, loving moment to know I had a friend that was so similar to me & my family's life that would understand when neurodivergent things happened, like shutdowns, meltdowns, etc. It was glorious! We were there for 3-4 hour. The kiddos all got along with no quarells or fights, for the first time. We talked about a lot of things like family life, experiences that made us more compassionate & stronger, & of course DoTERRA. We both took Gallup Strengthsfinder when we first started DoTERRA & found out we're so very similar in our top 5 & lower 5. This friendship & running together in our DoTERRA business specifically focused on helping others like us in the neurodivergent community is going to heal the world!

Richard has been working so very hard in St. George, he worked at a rocket place down there in Beryl & transferred over to help build the St. George Costco in the south end of St. George working for 8 hours Monday to Saturday to working 12 hours Monday to Saturday. It has been difficult in our marriage & home life to not have him home at night. It has been painful in all areas of my life from December to the first week of February. It's been hard to watch the kiddos miss their dad, it's been hard to do somethings that overwhelm me & my already overpacked schedule & being overly stressed day in & out, needing an emotional, physical, & mental rest from big life experiences.

Recently I went to the doctor to receive medication and for the first time & never felt such peace, the noise of lots of music playing non-stop in my head (echolalia) was gone, no more intrusive thoughts, no more overwhelmed by all the input of sounds in busy places, emotions of mine or others, the constant stress of doing more, or florescent lights.

Last year at our family reunion as we walked around a peace garden we both felt we were going to move. We were told what state we would move to & that we needed to be completely healed financially, physically, spiritually, & mentally to make this move. So we are moving in approximately 5-8 months from now to move from our townhome to a home of our dreams.

I'm excited for the new experiences Laurel & I will have in our DoTERRA business, I'm excited for Marty to get home, & I'm excited for all the wonderful & beautiful things to come.

Loss & Gratitude

This last week has been hard. It's about the 12th time in our 11 years of marriage Richard has been laid off from plumbing in the Local Union due to a shortage of work or contracts to keep their employees floating. I love the Local Union that it has so many benefits but the drawbacks are whats taking a lot of my energy out. Yes the Local Union pays way better than basic plumbing jobs, but we don't get PTO.

It is both a loss & a blessing to have Richard in the home to support our family in this time. In this time of rest we are trusting & surrendering that Heavenly Father WILL provide a way for our DoTERRA business to grow & flourish in serving & blessing many people.

For the past two days I've had an incredible opportunity to take a tour of 9 women including me to tour DoTERRA's Fulfillment Facility & their Product Center & I kid you not it was the most intimate supportive experience for me! DoTERRA really & truly is ULTRA TRANSPARENT & WHAT THEY DO! In the Fulfillment Facility they package the Rewards orders that get shipped across the world!

When we first walked into the facility we were greeted with friendliness, peppermint beadletts, & on guard throat drops. They had flags hanging from the ceiling representing how many Fulfillment Facilities they had in each country, for example, China has 6, Great Britain has 1, etc. I cannot recall how many flags I saw in there.

We entered the area where people we loading & unloading TONS of products, packaging, & shipping orders, it was incredible! DoTERRA only has 2 shifts, if they need a graveyard shift they are able to do that. DoTERRA also has a 5 day work week, they may pull in a Saturday shift like during the holidays but for the most part its a 5 day work week.

Oh I also forgot to mention they had a few flags hanging in the loading & unloading area & those flags represent where their employees are from and one day they work half the day & have a culture celebration day celebrating the unique cultures of their employees by eating food, cultural dances, & any stories. this really made me love my company EVEN more because it showed they TRULY care!

You know when your shopping at Costco or Sam's Club & they have 4 tiers stacks & the aisles are wider, DoTERRA does something similar but so efficiently! They have their aisles tighter & they has a 6 tier stack in each row. They have a machine similar to a fork lift & it is able to move the forks from right to left, to up & down. The person in the machine is able to move the cable as well up or down, the one thing that the person in the machine doesn't have to worry about is driving the machine, it has it's own guidance system, just like at Disneyland the new Mickey & Minnie's Runaway Railroad that has a black line that guides them to where they need to go.

DoTERRA is incredible! so they have a system they use called the Metric System & it keeps everything in checks & balances. at every shift before work starts they go to the metric board & there are 3 colors green, black, & red. The green represents whats is working, red represents what's not working & what needs to be better, & black represents the task.

I can't recall of the cool & up to date things DoTERRA uses, but I do recall that when they are packaging their totes to ship them across the world they have to scan each & every item. First they scan the tote, that tote represents that order at the time & then they proceed to scan the rest of the items in the tote before placing them in a package.

Another cool thing they do is that they are very mindful & think of the most time & cost efficient way to send your package. They ship from 8 carriers. For example, if they have labeled your package to be shipped by USPS & it was sent to FedEx it will take 1-2 weeks for it to be shipped to your home due to FedEx having to pass it to USPS when they can. 

Onto the Product Center! In the Product Center is where they house the lab & the oils! It was AWESOME! They showed you everything they did from making sure the facility was completely clean from contaminants in the air, water, etc. which they tested in their first lab. The second lab tested the oils that they created to make sure they were clean & unadulterated pure essential oil. The third lab was for testing to see if there were any contaminants in the oil, like salmonella, heavy metals, e.coli, etc. Each area we moved through smelled different! One area smelled of fennel & another smelled of a different oil. They showed how the distilling process worked, how they put products into their containers & so much more!

What was EVEN MORE IMPRESSIVE was that when DoTERRA finds a certain constituent of their product with a contaminant they will not sell their product with that contaminant. They will wait until the product has that clean constituent that it needs because they do not want their customers to get sick if there is one and so one of the ladies in our group she was trying to get some Zendocrine blend, & when she was looking online what they needed she noticed it was sold out, so she called customer service & asked why was the Zendocrine blend out and they said that the certain plant that they needed in that blend was effected from a natural disaster & every time they tested it it came up spoiled. Janica stated that she hasn't had it for six months the person on the other line said that it was two years since they had a clean constituent from that plant.

Also they keep their batches up to 5-6 years for the FDA in case the batches need to be test to make sure they're clean & pure.

I had a dream months ago (i'm a vivid dreamer as I sleep) that I would be at the Diamond Lounge at DoTERRA having an incredible intimate experience with the Goddard's. The Holy Spirit brought to my remembrance of this dream I had that I was meant to be there! I learned so many great tips & tricks, I even saw my life story in a DoTERRA Presidential Diamond who is very successful in her DoTERRA business.

Yesterday I was given an opportunity to come to the Goddard's home, it was breathtaking! I was welcomed in lovingly by Natalie & the girls, offered a Crio Brew, VMG+, & EO Mega! For almost two weeks I have not made my Rewards Order due to the loss of my husbands job & trusted that things will work out for our good, we are rich, & money will flow to us easily but still nervous for my husbands scarcity thinking. I grew up in a very well off family that things were getting taken care of easily, my husbands family did not. God brought a miracle to us! One of our recent customers needed help with putting in a new disposal & reached out to Richard for help. I am hoping Richard will be able to nurture him & see how he can help him improve his health & mindset by inviting him to our upcoming Awakened Brotherhood: Men's Circle.

When we trust & surrender in God, He always provides a way!

Miracles of serving!

On Tuesday Richard & I helped a friend in our church find solutions for the inflammation he has been experiencing a long time & it has been hard for him to walk. His DoTERRA package arrived yesterday & he proceeded to take it. Today we talked with him & he didn't wanna jinx the miracle of feeling less inflammed in his foot! He is very hopeful it will still work & wants to be check in on on November 3rd. I anticipate with gladness & excitement how well he's doing & how it's woorking foor him.

9/21/25

Convention & Miracles!

It has been an incredible couple of months! In August I was asked if I would be willing to serve as an activity day leader for the girls & I gladly accepted! My kids have started school by then & have wonderful teachers, they are a big blessing in my kids lives!

Miracle#1

My husband is learning every day about how DoTERRA can bless & improve his life, he started taking the Meta PWR Advantage & Meta PWR Recharge & he feels so much better! Even better news he wants to help bring hope & relief to those who want to be able to feel the joy & freedom he feels when he takes DoTERRA supplements & uses DoTERRA products daily!

Miracle #2

My kids & spouse still deal with bloody noses from time to time & we've been addressing it with the incredible use of DoTERRA's Geranium essential oil!

DoTERRA's essential oils are the ONLY essential oils that are tried & true & consistent from plant to bottle & the only reputable company that is able to fund researching on how essential oils interact with the human body due to the consistency every time! DoTERRA essential oils are tested every single batch making sure it is unadulterated & unpolluted with the pure essence of the plant they are producing, hence why we rely on the Certified Pure Tested Grade label!

When you buy essential oils from the store, you are getting what you paid for cheaply made, adulterated toxins that are marketed as safe to use & consume. Well DoTERRA has tested it's own products as well as the other parties & the results don't lie! The other parties if they test their samples at a lab will test it typically for up to 2 hours in the device. When it is tested they are receiving results as they see fit.

DoTERRA always tests it oils & other parties oils up to 3 hours, by then the oil begins to show it's true colors! If it's DoTERRA's & it is showing the results of that batch are the pure constituents of that plant, it continues to be produced. If DoTERRA finds that it is not consistent with being pure, they will remove the batch & start on another batch to make sure it is high quality. Same thing happens with testing the other parties oils & you'd be surprised what you find in those oils.

My first year at DoTERRA they successfully found out & created the ONLY pure birch essential oil in the world & they tested the other parties as well. It was shocking that all of the other parties marketed essential oils said pure birch oil, it was not! they polluted it with aspirin, alcohols, carcinogens, & other constituents that would not show any consistency or purity to help their clients.

Miracle #3

I've been so blessed to be able to bring others to wellness this month! I couldn't do it without the guidance of the Holy Spirit & Heavenly Father! 

When we address symptoms we're just putting out the fires instead of the root cause. When we address the root cause the fires are all put out.'

There's an experience my husband & I have had with one of his good friends. His friend Mark (changed) had lost his dear wife in January & they order about $1,000 worth of DoTERRA products that they had no idea how to use. As Wellness Advocates we are to teach & nourish our clients to best help support their families. Mark has been wonderful to work with helping him address the needs of his family. He as asked many wonderful questions & I anticipate the time to meet with him to get him & his family on the right foot joyfully as the move into foundations to wellness.

Miracle #4

Convention is going to be held in Orlando, Florida next year! I cannot wait! The reason behind this is due to the renovations in Utah & the upcoming olympics. I am so excited to go to Florida to see my family & stay with them, I've been wanting to be with them & around all of them!

Miracle #5

It still makes my heart ache over the death of so many people since the 10th! But I am grateful for the example of the believer Charlie Kirk! His life was not in vain! he lived to help others see a view they'd never see & helped to minister to others to bring them back to Jesus Christ! His death has brought many people back to church! God is a God of miracles & Charlie's legacy lives on even if you did not have an opportunity to meet him in-person, you can still receive a testimony that he was what he said he was through & through!

Because of Charlie's death & prompts I received I felt prompted to ask my kids to invite their friends to church, we all need something to believe in because this world is getting so dark & so evil that we need a sturdy foundation that where we put our faith in won't crumble from beneath our feet, & that is in our Savior Jesus Christ! So yesterday they invited their two friends to come to church with us & there is a baptism for my dear friends aunt we're going to. 

Miracle #6

Friday night was my teams convention party where we talk about the joys of convention, what we learned, how DoTERRA has blessed our lives, get to meet corporate, & receive gift as well! After we all finished hugging, talking, & enjoying each others company, & going to bed I had a dream & I heard these words "feed my sheep". Whether that means to literally feed people, share the good news of the gospel of Jesus Christ, or share the goodness of DoTERRA, it's my time to shine!

Miracle #7

My husband has been called up that he has a plumbing position available for him in the Local 140 Union.

Miracles happen every, we just have to look for the light in our day to day lives & cast out the darkness that surrounds us!

🌿 Start Your Soul-Led Mission & Live with Intention

There came a moment when I realized I was doing a lot of good things — but not always the right things for me. I was serving others, checking boxes, showing up… but deep down, I felt this quiet ache for alignment. I wanted to feel rooted in why I was doing what I was doing. I didn’t want to just be productive — I wanted to be purposeful.

So I did something simple, powerful, and surprisingly emotional:
I created my life mission statement.

But not from scratch. I used tools, truths, and Spirit to guide me — and what came through was something that truly felt like me.

Here’s how I created a mission statement that’s helping me live with deeper intention and serve from a place of alignment:

💛 1. DoTERRA Level 10 Leadership Affirmations (by Hal Elrod)

These affirmations were originally created to support doTERRA leaders — but honestly, they spoke right to my soul. Words like:

“I am a servant leader.”
“I live in alignment with my values.”
“I create a ripple effect of healing through my presence and example.”

They reminded me that leadership doesn’t have to look like hustle.
It can look like integrity. Presence. Healing.

✨ 2. Gallup CliftonStrengths Test

This test gave me language for what I already intuitively knew — my gifts.
Seeing my top strengths spelled out helped me embrace my natural tendencies instead of fighting them. It confirmed that my way of leading and loving is exactly as it should be.

I wasn’t called to lead like anyone else. I was called to lead like me.

🕊️ 3. My Patriarchal Blessing

As a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, my patriarchal blessing has been an anchor in my life.
When I read it with fresh eyes — specifically asking God to help me see my mission — I noticed promises and invitations I hadn’t seen before. It reminded me that my purpose is both spiritual and practical. That my gifts were given to bless others and build the kingdom in my own small, sacred way.

📚 4. The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Dr. Stephen R. Covey

One of the most powerful parts of this book is Habit 2: Begin with the End in Mind.
Dr. Covey invites us to imagine our own funeral — and what we’d want others to say about us. That might sound morbid, but it was actually clarifying.

It made me ask:
What kind of person do I want to be remembered as?
What legacy am I creating, even in the little moments?

✍️ Then I Wrote…

With all those influences in my heart — spiritual, personal, and practical — I started writing.

I asked myself:

• Who am I called to serve?

• What values do I want to live by?

• How do I want to show up when no one is watching?
  
  

And slowly, sentence by sentence, my mission statement came to life.
It’s still evolving — and that’s okay. But now, I have a compass I can return to whenever I feel lost or distracted. It brings me back to my why.

🌱 Want to Create Yours?

If you’ve never written a mission statement — or if the one you wrote years ago no longer fits — I invite you to create a new one. One that reflects who you are today.

💛 I’ve put together a simple, soul-led process to help you write yours:
[Start Your Soul-Led Mission & Live with Intention Guided Workbook]

Because you deserve to live aligned, not just busy.

Let’s start from the inside out.

But here’s a simple system I share with my clients (and use myself):

✨ Step 1: Just make a little extra dinner.
Yep. No batch cooking, no fancy meal plan. Just double what you're already making.

✨ Step 2: Pour your leftovers into silicone molds (think muffin trays or freezer cubes) and pop them in the freezer.

That’s it.
Now you’ve got pre-portioned meals ready to:
✔️ Grab for lunch or late-night hunger
✔️ Reheat while baby naps
✔️ Keep you nourished during a time when your body truly needs it

Because postpartum is not the time for decision fatigue or complicated food prep.

💛 It’s time to simplify. To nourish without the burnout.

🌿 I Got My Groove Back: Why I Took a Break from Social Media (and Why I’m Back)

There’s a season for showing up, and there’s a season for stepping back. Recently, I had to choose the latter — not out of burnout, but out of honesty.
⁠
The truth? Social media became too loud.⁠
The ads, the reels, the endless scroll of personal updates — even with the best intentions, I found myself overstimulated, overwhelmed, and spiritually out of sync.

I wasn’t just disconnected from the platform…
I was disconnected from myself.
⁠
As a birth and postpartum doula, a wedding officiant, and a wellness advocate, I spend my days holding space for transformation, love, and healing. But somewhere along the way, my own inner space needed tending to.
⁠
So I took a pause. I stopped posting. I stopped consuming.
I gave myself the gift of silence, of stillness, of stepping away.⁠
⁠
And in that space… something shifted.
I remembered why I started this work in the first place — not to be seen, not to perform, but to serve.
To connect.
To support women and families in sacred moments.
To offer care, not content. Presence, not pressure.

Why I'm Back

After time away, I began to feel a subtle but sacred pull to return.
Not to jump back into the noise. Not to hustle harder.
But to come back differently.
⁠
To post when it feels nourishing.
To share what’s on my heart.
To create a space where others can feel grounded, supported, and seen.
⁠
I’m back — not to chase the algorithm, but to nurture this community.
If you’re here, I’m so glad. If you’ve ever needed a break yourself, I see you.

This space isn’t about being perfectly curated — it’s about being real, present, and aligned with the heart of the work.

Whether you’re a mama-to-be, a couple preparing for your ceremony, or someone looking to care for your family naturally — welcome back. Or maybe, welcome home.

The tender mercies of having essential oils handy

Today we had an oil miracle occur! My brother in law has been having terrible nose bleeds for the past few days  due to elevation & blood thinners he is on. Before he could partake in the meal his nose was bleeding for the third or fourth time that day. I thank God for the many miracles of creating certified pure tested grade DoTERRA essential oils, If I did not have the solution my in-laws would have had to take him into urgent care or the E.R. without any insurance coverage.

To help cease the nose bleed I dashed to my phone & pulled up the reference book I always carry on hand! I typed in the search bar nose bleed & it took me to what I needed geranium, helichrysum, & another essential oil. I knew when I was packing I had geranium & my fractionated coconut oil. I rushed back up stairs dropped two drops of geranium in a teaspoon & a half of fractionated coconuut oil & applied it too his nose, forehead, & sinuses. His nose completely stopped bleeding in half the time it normally would if he waited for it to stop. 

We had given my mother-in-law for her birthday some breathe drops, breathe easy roller bottle of oils, & a aroma-haler filled with breathe. I suggested to my brother-in-law to use breathe as it does thats as well, to take a breathe drop & use the aroma-haler. I am so grateful I have oils that I can help others at the tips of my fingers!

Heat spikes & runny noses

One of my little ones started a heat spike & a runny nose. I knew that their little body was fighting so hard that it needed some support with DoTERRA.  I made sure that this child had not been overdressed. I encourage my child to consume liquids & came up with a solution I found when I looked at my reference books. I mixed 2-4 drops of 100% pure unadulterated essential oils of peppermint, oregano, frankincense, lavender with a carrier oil. Apply onto the chest & back.

Within a few minutes this child was so sleepy that I took my child up to bed to rest and sleep.
