Essential Oils
I was introduced to doTERRA essential oils by my yoga teacher and friend Anais back in early 2019, then begun to use and research more about these beautiful natural oils, deciding to join the DōTERRA family in April 2020.
​
I am empowered to share my knowledge and continue to grow my understanding of these plant-based alternatives.
