From Surviving to Thriving: Why I Chose Essential Oils

How Essential Oils Became Part of Our Healing Journey

Real wellness starts with a mama’s “no more.”

I didn’t set out to sell oils. I wasn’t looking to join a team. I was just trying to help my daughter.

💔 It Started with a Diagnosis

My oldest was diagnosed with eczema.

The solution? Steroid creams.

But something about that didn’t sit right with me. I wanted more than a temporary fix — I wanted to understand why her body was struggling and how to support it gently. That search for a better way led me to essential oils… and eventually, to complete an online aromatherapy certification.

That one decision changed everything.

🌿 Oils Became Part of Our Everyday Healing

After I started using oils consistently, something incredible happened:

👉🏾 None of my kids have needed medication for their eczema since.

We found blends that supported their skin, their emotions, and their immune systems. Oils became part of our rhythm — diffused during school time, rolled on at bedtime, and used in DIY balms, cleaning sprays, and immune rollers.

🌼 Why I Chose Young Living

I tried a few brands early on, but when I started researching purity, sourcing, and sustainability, I knew I wanted something I could trust with my kids.

I became a Young Living Brand Partner in 2024, not because I wanted a business — but because their oils made the kind of impact I had to share.

Since joining the Young Living family, here’s what’s happened in my own body:

• 🙌🏾 I’m no longer taking anxiety or depression medication
• 💊 I’m off my cholesterol medication
• 🌙 I’m sleeping better
• 🧠 I can think more clearly
• 💪🏾 I have more energy than I’ve had in years

And all of that while raising four kids, homeschooling, managing a household, and living with a chronic illness (Moyamoya). These oils don’t fix everything — but they support everything. And that matters.

🕊️ A Natural Path Rooted in Grace

I believe God gives us wisdom and resources — not to fear the world, but to nurture the lives He’s entrusted to us. Essential oils became one of those tools for me. A gift I didn’t expect… but one I’ll never be without again.
