“I knew early on that I was going to be a nurse to help people change their lives. After high school, I didn’t feel the tug to go away to college right away, so I moved to an orphanage in Mexico and quickly learned Spanish so I could care for the 9 kids in my room.”

“After spending four months in Mexico, I came home to jump into nursing school. It was then that I met Keith (1997), my hubby, while I was in my “wild stage”. I was dancing on a speaker in a night club and he took one look at me and said:”

““I’m putting a ring on that.”

Well, he didn’t say that EXACTLY, but we did fall in love and were married.”

“After being married a couple of years, Keith was diagnosed with pre-cancerous tongue lesions and had a 50 cent size piece of his tongue removed. We had lived really healthy lives up until that point, so this was a big scare for us. A friend introduced us to dōTERRA because we needed options to help with Keith’s lesions in his mouth.”

“I rolled my eyes at the thought of an essential oil helping because, after all, I was a nurse and I knew that crap didn’t work. Well, it did and 6 months later, I bought my first kit and jumped both feet into the “Oil World.” I dug into the research, became obsessed with Dr. Hill and all the science behind this company that was offering natural solutions to the world and I never looked back. Keith thought I had lost my mind, but I knew that I had found something that would change the lives of millions of people.”

“I was full steam ahead into growing a business and we hit the rank of “Silver” four months into our journey. By Feb. of 2013, I retired from my 13 year nursing career and was 100% on board with growing a business and creating a movement for people who wanted more for their health.”

“We bought our first motorhome, prepped it for moving into, and waited for Keith to retire from his 14 year sales career. One month later, Keith retired and we hit the road with our kids and Prius in tow, to explore the US and love on our growing team. After spending almost two years on the road, we knew it was time to “settle down” somewhere. The desire to have connection and community with people was tugging hard on our hearts.”

“We searched high and low for our “home” and when we closed on the TN house, my heart was overwhelmed with joy … our home represents so much more than a place to live. It’s the fulfillment of a big unspeakable dream to have a place for EVERYONE to gather and to feel welcomed. This home, our life, our team, the people, the lives changed … it all is just a reflection of the incredible opportunity found in dōTERRA - something I want for EVERYONE.”

“Our Home is a TRUE HOME: a gathering spot where I can welcome everyone I love and those I am just beginning to love. We’ve completed our outdoor space — with a beautiful pool and patio — where we can welcome even more to our ever-growing table.”

“We’re now the proud parents of not one, BUT TWO, teenagers (one of them is a legal driver)! I can’t believe how the years have flown, but — now more than ever — I am hopeful for the future while being deeply connected to my roots.”
