Holistic Health Solutions

Some of you may be saying to yourself, "What are those doTERRA oils and what could they possibly do for me?" And some of you may have your hesitations about using something so "hippi" and weird... Well guess what, I had all the same questions and thoughts that you may be having :) I'm grateful that I put aside my hesitations and sought to find oils I could use to help me bring my hormones and body back into harmony after having our sweet baby girl, Hailey Sue. Life changed drastically for me, and so did my body! I was experiencing acne, mood swings, emotions, & digestive problems like I never had before! Some nights I struggled getting good sleep, even after Hailey was sleeping through the night. I had a hard time losing the extra baby weight that was as stubborn as ever. All of these things combined brought me to a point where I no longer felt "holistically" healthy, and my quality of life was so-so because all these things were weighing on me. As a CTRS (Certified Therapeutic Recreation Specialist), I have learned that there are many components to having what we call a "holistically healthy life". I don't know if we can ever feel completely "balanced" , but I do know that we can find more "harmony" in our day to day life as we focus more time on our Mental, Emotional, Physical, and Spiritual well-being. During this time I had some friends that were really into essential oils, and I was curious what they might be able to do for me. My friend brought over all of her oils one day and her Modern Essentials Book, and said, "Look up the ailments you are dealing with in this book, and use the oils they suggest to combat those problems. I'll be back to pick them up in a week. Have fun!" At first I was afraid to use them because I wasn't sure how to properly apply them, but as I educated myself and began trying out a few I began to feel like there was a lot these oils had to offer me. After that week passed my friend introduced me to one of my mentors now, and a person I look up to so much, Tracy Lyman. She listened to the problems I was experiencing and with every ailment, she had an oil in mind that could combat it. She suggested for me to try the 14 Day Slim & Sassy Detox to help me get rid of all the toxins in my body, and to help gain back the energy I needed to enjoy life with my beautiful family. I decided to go for it, and although it was going to be a challenge, I was ready to do whatever it took to help me feel better, and more like myself. Something had to change, and I had tried OTC medications for a few things and no improvements. I've always struggled taking medications because I'm afraid of the side affects they may cause me, so I was excited to try a program that was all natural, and would help my body release bad toxins, and then replenish with good nutrients. As a part of the detox you are to cut out a lot of the harmful things from your diet, and basically eat whole foods. With the oils and natural supplements I was to take, I began to experience a positive shift in my life. And now after doing the detox twice, I can tell you that I felt better than I had EVER felt before. I could truly feel a difference in my energy level, my mental clarity, and control over my emotions. For the first time in months I finally felt like my body was working with me to help me enjoy my life, rather than working against me. My acne started to clear up, my digestive system was more regulated, and I felt more excited to take on each day, rather then the dread I had felt before because of the extreme exhaustion I was experiencing. I realized right then and there that these oils weren't just a bunch of "hocus pocus", and that they really were "gifts from the earth" providing healing in a multitude of ways. I decided to start using them daily for not only me, but my family. It felt like doTERRA Essential Oils were the answer to a lot of our health concerns, and it provided me with more options to turn to with my baby girl. We use them consistently in our home, and even my husband who was once a skeptic, is now a full on believer and uses them daily. We are so grateful for the empowerment it has given us in our daily life, and the health and peace of mind it's provided us with! I have always had a passion for serving and helping others, and I am grateful for doTERRA Essential Oils and the many opportunities it has given me to help others create a more holistically healthy life.
