My 20-Year Journey with Young Living Essential Oils
From overwhelmed mom to a life filled with purpose, peace, and natural wellness through Young Living essential oils and holistic living
The Beginning of My Young Living Story – April 2006
When my children were toddlers, even the simplest illness became a major struggle. Fevers meant both my husband and I had to team up — one holding a wiggling, unhappy child on our lap while the other tried to squeeze Children’s Tylenol down. It was stressful for everyone, especially for a little one who already didn’t feel well.
Then I discovered Young Living essential oils.
Suddenly everything changed. My kids embraced the oils. They happily chose which drops to add to a spoonful of honey when they weren’t feeling their best. They willingly let me apply oils to their feet or back. Instead of fights and synthetic medicines, we experienced peace, engagement, and gentle support.
My 20-Year Young Living Journey in Natural Wellness
I was introduced to Young Living over 20 years ago and officially enrolled in April 2006. A friend enrolled with me, but I had zero intention of building a business. I was simply drawn to the natural, high-quality products and how they could support my family in gentle yet effective ways.
At the exact same time, I had made a major life change — I began my journey in Holistic Nutrition, working toward my Master’s degree. I was changing my diet, practicing Tai Chi, and connecting with like-minded communities. At first I sometimes felt a pull between my nutrition studies and learning about essential oils, but I quickly realized they beautifully complemented each other.
Today, after 20 years, Young Living is woven into my daily life in so many meaningful ways. I run my business Reclaim Reconnect Renew LLC, and Young Living continues to be a joyful part of it. The oils have opened doors to travel — both around the globe and deep within myself. More than anything, the personal growth has been the greatest gift. I don’t see that inner work ever stopping.
"For those feeling stuck with ongoing health challenges, I’m here to remind you that real change is possible. With warmth and encouragement, we’ll uncover ways for you to feel stronger, more hopeful, and fully in charge of your wellness journey again."
