Oils in a Nutshell
Humanity has benefited from the healing powers of plants for over 3,000 years. From as far back as the ancient civilisations of Egypt, Sumeria and Greece, the leaves, petals, bark, seeds, roots and twigs of plants and trees have been used to soothe and heal all manner of physical, mental and emotional difficulty or pain.
When you use an essential oil, you are harnessing a plant’s unique combination of aromatic compounds that it uses to protect itself against destructive natural forces and to thrive. The oils are nature’s potent gift for support and healing.
Essential oils can provide immediate relief in moments of stress and turmoil and can elevate your mood in an instant.
Using simple practices that are easy to incorporate into your daily routine, these pure oils can help you create space between the stimulus - such as work crises, family tensions, health or money worries - and your reaction - frustration, anger, overwhelm, depression (or wine!)…
Using the oils alongside even the simplest mindful and compassionate practice can be truly transformative, and not just for you. As a dear friend pointed out, self-love is an act of bravery, and the positive ripple effect is endless.

I am so grateful to Kari for reigniting my connection and relationship to using essential oils as a daily practice for myself and my family.
I had complete faith in her values and ethics when recommending doterra as a company. Kari is a reliable and gentle mentor to have at hand to recommend oils and is committed to supporting her clients as if we were family.
Her intuitive yet practical knowledge of the oils and blends is wonderfully drip-fed and seems to arrive at just the moment I need it.
Kari’s knowledge and support extends to beyond my self-care, and as a mother she understands the power of the oils in nurturing the family. All my 3 children now ask for oils as a part of their call for support, whether with exam pressures or with trouble sleeping.

Since as long as I can remember, the love of nature has been a part of my life. The smell of the outdoors, the feeling of being among plants, the connection, the magic… Nature and plants bring me fully to my senses. They provide the support and the safe container in which I can grow, heal, dream and feel deeply connected.
Over the years, I have created a beautiful relationship with essential oils. I have brought them into every aspect of my life. I have respectfully practiced with them, devoted hour upon hour to learn about them, explored the wonder of them. And in response to this willingness to learn, these plant allies have given me such gifts in return.
Self awareness.
Connection.
Acceptance.
Growth.
Healing.
Expansion.
Focus.
Deepening my spirituality.

The Oils & Me
It all started when…
My beloved sister, Pascale, died in an accident aged 15. I cannot describe how devastating it was. One day she was with us, the next she was gone. The death of a child seems so wrong, so unnatural.
As we mourned, a friend gave us a bottle of Melissa essential oil. A rare and potent oil, said to bring a sense of connection to the divine. Its distinctive smell impressed itself so deeply on me that for years when I thought of my sister, I could often smell Melissa. Sometimes I would smell the aroma out of nowhere - a fleeting, intoxicating scent - in those precious moments I believed I felt her spirit guiding me.
Our sense of smell is fundamental to how we experience the world around us. Aroma is recognised in the limbic part of our brain, where we store and generate emotions and memory, this is why specific scents, such as my experience with Melissa, can be so deeply evocative.
I used essential oils ever since. I used them when I was giving birth to my daughter Nelly, and always had a bottle of lavender on hand to pop in the bath in times of stress. I just used ones bought from good health food shops. Most of them smelled nice, but I wouldn’t say they were all that tranformative. And the Melissa I subsequently bought smelled nothing like the one I remembered from my twenties. Then a friend introduced me to DoTERRA.
Finding peace
and DoTERRA
It was the first lockdown in our global pandemic. Like so many, my ten-year-old daughter was overwhelmed with anxiety and fear.
During the day, her anxiety was mostly manageable, but her fears took shape at night and crowded her dreams. Nightmares and night terrors had her running into our room every night in tears, her heart pounding.
After three months of nightly disturbance and soothing, I was on my knees. I tried everything, including my stash of essential oils bought from our local health food shop, but nothing worked. With a guided meditation I could get her to sleep, but a few hours later the nightmares would come again.
Then a friend suggested I try a sleep program using DoTERRA oils. It was a last resort, but they worked! Within three nights, my daughter was sleeping through the night in her own room and we all felt much more balanced and positive during the day. After that, I began using DoTERRA oils for everything - my repetitive strain injury that had dogged me for months healed, the intensity of my chronic fatigue lessened, and so much more. In short, life got better. A lot better.
These oils were completely different to the ones I had used before - completely pure, therapeutic grade, ethically-sourced oils that actually did what I wanted them to, and smelled incredible. And that is where my DoTERRA journey began. I did my research, I read many books, I took many classes and studied hard and became part of the incredible community of like-minded humans that use these oils to create lasting change in their communities.
I am here to do things with purpose and meaning, and this is especially the case with my work with Essential Mindfulness. I can’t imagine life without the oils now, they are such an integral part of my family’s daily self-care routine, and I am passionate about guiding others so that they can empower themselves with these natural tools too.
I help ground individuals in health and well-being, so that they can live fully and harness their unique strengths. I guide others so that they can enjoy the support and many-layered benefits of these natural plant medicines. I run small classes and mini courses on the oils with different themes, and use the oils in my other practices too.
