VISION AT AN EARLY AGE

When I was in the 6th grade, my mother had chronic illness and spent many of her days in bed.  I wanted to make her well, but I felt helpless. I was helpless. This was the precise moment in time that I began my mission to become a pharmacist.  The way I saw it, as a pharmacist I could try to make her well (which would also give me a feeling of having a tiny bit of control in an unpredictable situation).  

Throughout high school, I took every science class my school offered!  The foundations of science were necessary to help me understand the intricate details of our bodies.  I knew it would prepare me for my healthcare journey, and I was determined to make it happen.

Pharmacy school was exciting.  I learned about all sorts of illnesses, and yes, my mind tricked me into believing I had some of them!  Interestingly, we never learned about botanicals or natural healthcare options.  

My career as a retail pharmacist started off great.  I loved it!  It was incredibly rewarding to help people navigate their health journey and complex drug regimens.  On the other hand, telling people about the associated side effects of those drugs wasn’t as rewarding.  

Later in my career, I moved to the corporate environment.  In this setting, I was able to manage clinical programs that supported millions of people with their medication regimens.

During a very dark time in my life, I was introduced to essential oils with emotional supportive properties.  At this point, I didn’t know a lot about essential oils.  I knew they smelled good, but if there was any chance that lavender could ease my anxiety, I was more than willing to try it!

In early 2015, I went to an essential oils home class, where I heard for the very first time about the myriad of therapeutic benefits of essential oils.  At this class, I learned that essential oils have similar properties to many modern medicines – and without any horrifying side effects!  I was intrigued.  I knew I had to learn more, and so my essential oils journey began. 

Exercising due diligence, I researched the properties of essential oils and how they work scientifically.  Since that time, I have taken numerous training classes.  Today, I am a Certified Clinical Aromatherapist, Certified Essentials Oils Coach, and Level 1 Certified Animal Aromatherapy Practitioner.  I continue to take classes from well-respected aromatherapy schools and teachers to expand my knowledge.  Currently, I’m a consultant for Dr. Janet Roark, essential oil vet.  You can view my link here.

My continued passion for oils and holistic living comes from a deep-rooted desire to do what is best for my family.  I enjoy encouraging and empowering others to do the same.  When we turn to natural remedies, our bodies are given the opportunity to do what they were always meant to do – which is, be well!  Your body’s ability to heal itself is greater than anyone has led you to believe.  Our Creator expertly designed our bodies in ways we cannot comprehend.

Believe it or not, my mother is now a poster child for health.  It’s hard for people to believe that there was ever a time she was sick.  While those years of illness were rough on my mother and I, it was the fuel that propelled me to desire helping others on their wellness journey.  My passion for wellness will continue to grow just as scientists will continue to discover new benefits of each oil.  It’s a very exciting time we live in!
