If you’ve arrived at this page you’re probably hunting around for ways to support your health and wellbeing, or that of your family or friends. Unfortunately, most of us come to alternative and natural health after some kind of struggle and are now ready to try ANYTHING. The lucky ones arrive at the doorsteps of natural care BEFORE things hit the fan and are fortunate enough to find prevention and be ready for things when they strike, and they always do don’t they?
Hi, my name is Keren and I’ve been successfully (or so I thought) utilizing alternative forms of health care on myself and my family for almost 20 years. Those included homeopathy, Chinese Medicine, Ayurvedic Medicine, nutritional therapy, herbs and a huge variety of supplements - including many high quality and super expensive ones. I’ve utilized homeopaths, naturopaths, various holistic practitioners and mainstream yet open minded MDs.
In the early winter of 2014 I was first introduced to a new (to me) natural way to care for my family: dōTERRA’s high quality therapeutic grade essential oils.
At the time I had a medicine cabinet full of so called therapeutic essential oils at home. Some I had purchased at the natural food store but also some very reputable and well known oils I bought through various practitioners . I had kept buying them year after year because I knew they were supposed to do something. I knew there was a reason they existed. I kept buying them but very rarely actually used them. Why? Because they didn’t really do anything for us when I did and I never felt they were making a difference. Yet something kept nagging at me. There was some missing link here and I couldn’t put my finger on what it was! Until my friend Sara introduced me to dōTERRA essential oils.
Sara had began using dōTERRA oils several months earlier. I had watched her Facebook posts about them and kept shaking my head in disgust quit frankly…what is she talking about?? I KNOW oils don’t work. I’ve been trying to get them to work for years with little to no success! This can’t possibly be true.
When Sara announced she was coming to my home town to teach a class about these oils I reluctantly agreed to go. As fate would have it, the morning of the class I had a small medical procedure. When the class wrapped up I asked her what oil she would suggest to support my healing (why not ask I figured even though I ‘knew’ it wouldn’t help). She handed me a small vial of Frankincense essential oil and gave e some instructions on how to use it.
I went home, put it on the shelf and of course never used it. It sat there for two weeks, sad and lonely.
And then, my daughter fell and slammed her head on the ice.
We rushed off to the ER of course where they declared a pretty nasty concussion and sent her home with instructions to avoid all visual brain activity (complete brain rest) and pop a lot of acetaminophen regularly. Popping Tylenol was not exactly my preferred method of treatment so I began loading her up on every natural anti-inflammatory I had in my arsenal. Day 1, day 2 and she was still suffering the typical symptoms of a bad concussion: Nausea, headaches, dizziness and just feeling generally out of it.
I then recalled that tiny little vial of Frankincense I had sitting on my shelf and immediately went to Google and asked: What do you use to support healing form a concussion? I think you can probably guess which oil popped up on ALL the sites I came across: Frankincense! Call it fate, divine intervention, luck - whatever it was it changed our lives.
I followed the instructions online and I (kid??) you not, within TEN minutes she began to feel better. Seriously. No joke.
Even *I*, the naturally oriented Dr. Mom was shaking my head in complete disbelief. No way could this be true. No way. I know oils (or so I thought) and there’s no way this just worked, give me a break!
So we watched and waited.
Until this point her symptoms were consistent and nonstop. Suddenly, she was clear headed, felt fairly decent and more like herself. We waited. A few hours, 12 hours, 24 hours…still the same. At about the day and a half mark she began to feel bad again, and so we reapplied the oil. Again, within ten minutes she began to feel better. Again this lasted about 36 hours. And again I was still in sincere and total disbelieve, but why the heck not try something since nothing else seemed to be helping.
We kept applying and diffusing Frankincense for a couple weeks seeing the same results, until she felt consistently well and we didn’t need to use it anymore.
Following this experience we had another life altering experience with a different dōTERRA oil, quite literally. To protect their privacy I will not go into detail here about it though. Suffice it to say it turned their (and our) life around and most definitely supported their mental health in the process!
The rest as they say is history.
To this day my daughter takes credit for putting us all on this essential oil journey 📷:). Silver linings and all that!
Following these two experience I KNEW I had to have ALL the oils. With the significant impact these two little oils had on our lives I couldn’t even imagine what having the rest could do to help us through life. But I knew they could, so in I dove with both feet.
I now knew what my missing link was. Why all the other brands of essential oil I tried in the past didn’t work. They did not hold a candle to dōTERRA’s therapeutic essential oils. dōTERRA’s oils stand alone and for remarkable reasons. Reasons I will go into plenty of detail about on this page. But this section is about my journey.
Once I had all the oils in my hands (and boy did I go about it stupidly…if you’d like I can help you make better choices that I did!) I just knew I couldn’t keep these magical little bottles to myself. How could I sit back and watch others struggle with big or little, unusual or ‘normal’, health issues without offering them help? Without offering them a natural, healthy and cheap method of supporting their health?? I couldn’t. Yes, In case you didn’t read it right, I did say cheap. Cheaper than a co-pay or meds per dose.
And so began my journey and new mission to offer choices, education and support to anyone who was interested.
I am now a Silver leader with dōTERRA and have thus far personally affected positive change in over 100 families. I have also helped change well over 700 lives by supporting those in my team who also decided this life changing mission was for them. They too go out and support people who wish to learn about and bring the highest quality essential oils into their homes and lives. And they too reap the personal and financial rewards that go along with it.
It is beyond and honor and a privilege to be part of such an amazing company, organization and mission. It has led me down a transformative path (both personally and financially) that I could never have imagined for myself!
And that my friends, is my story AND my Why.
If you would like to learn more, think you and yours can benefit from bringing these essential oils into your home or if you would like to join our mission of spreading natural health and wellness to the world and changing your life in the process, stick around and reach out! I am here for you always.
