The Beginning
Like many of my generation I grew up with and raised my own kids using many of the conventional products that are still apart of our society today…for example over the counter pharmaceuticals, prescriptions for everything, quick and packaged processed foods and we can not forget the frequent trips to the local fast food restaurant in order to get a quick “convenient” meal in under 20 minutes and $20 for a family of five.
So, my wellness journey began just prior to my 40th birthday…the kids pediatrician warned me that our children were heading down a road where they would have a lifetime of battling obesity and the health issues that come with it. I was smoking a pack of cigarettes a day, NEVER exercised and ate pretty much whatever I wanted and let the kids basically do the same. The journey to wellness was not easy and has evolved over the last 13 years. I was introduced to essentials oils by my yoga teacher in 2015, and my original intention was to just replace candles with a safer option…not because I thought candles were toxic, but because I was falling asleep with them burning and was concerned about burning the condo complex down where I lived at the time. Little did I know that I would eventually learn that even the candles that I loved were more toxic than the cigarettes that I once smoked.
My first experience to how powerful the oil was in these little bottles was with DiGize Essential Oil. It was about 2am and I had some very serious digestive issues that were brought on by stress when I discovered I was out of the pink stuff and had no more antacids left. Than I remembered that I had read that applying a couple of drops of DiGize around the navel would help. Initially I was very skeptical and after I got over the surprise that it worked I began researching essential oils for other areas of my life that I felt I needed support. Thus began my journey and sharing it others so that they could join me.
Today
By swapping out the toxic cleaning supplies, personal care products, and OTC products for wholesome products…I created a wellness toolbox specific to my needs and supports my health goals. Daily I strive to live a creative and simple life in a natural way. Along the way I have had the opportunity to help others on their journey to discovering the goodness of living their best life naturally, using essential oils and other creative healthy living tips.
