A simple & attainable approach to holistic wellness.
Elevate Your Wellness with Essential Oils
Have you been curious about essential oils and how to use them to enhance your physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being?
You've come to the right place!
​
Let's start with the obvious - I am NOT a medical professional. What I am is a believer in alternative, integrative, and natural approaches to health.
I've been using essential oils for the better part of 6 years now and I am so honored to be able to share my experience and resources with you.​
​
What ARE essential oils anyway?
Essential oils are organic compounds extracted from different parts of a plant, usually through a process called distillation.
Through this process, the highly concentrated oil captures the plant’s essence - everything from the plants' healing compounds to its scent or even flavor.
​
A Bit of Science
I know a lot of people roll their eyes when they hear "essential oils" and I get it. It sounds like a fad, right? In a kale and avocado toast (love both btw) kinda way.
It might sound like just another health trend but in reality, Aromatherapy has been around for thousands of years!
How do they even work?
​
I don't believe essential oils are intended to "cure" diseases, but they are a great tool to support you in your overall wellness journey (as well as your home's).
Research shows that the aromas from essential oils can stimulate areas of your limbic system - a part of your brain that plays a role in our emotions, behaviors, sense of smell, and
long-term memory.
Have you ever caught a scent of something and were immediately transported to a super vivid memory, an emotion? That's your limbic brain at work!
​
The limbic system also plays a role in controlling some unconscious physiological functions, such as breathing, heart rate, and blood pressure.
When used topically, rather than aromatically, it'll take about 20 minutes for that essential oil to be absorbed by your skin, and found in every cell of your body. Yes, you read that right!
​
This is why Essential oils from high-grade* sources can support everyday ailments, help balance our emotions, and even detox our homes.
Renowned medical professionals such as Dr. Mark Hyman and Dr. Josh Axe have covered the benefits of using essential oils extensively. Feel free to visit their websites for more in-depth clinical information.

Why I Use Young Living
I am a strong believer in doing tons of research before buying into a specific brand. You should feel confident when you invest in a product or company.
​
Granted, when I chose Young Living (YL) essential oils six years ago, there weren't as many alternatives as there are today but what sold me about them still stands true and that is their seed to seal promise.
After experiencing first hand what toxicity and stress can do to my body, I pay close attention to the products I consume for myself and for my home.
Not only are YL oils 100% pure therapeutic-grade oils, but their unwavering commitment to quality and good stewardship from their farming practices to the end product gifts me invaluable peace of mind.
