Fifteen years of clinical nursing shaped everything I believe about health. Here's how that journey led me here.
I've been a Registered Nurse for fifteen years. That's fifteen years of twelve-hour shifts, of learning to listen to what a body is saying before it starts shouting, of watching people at their most vulnerable — and doing everything I could to help.
Nursing taught me to ask why. Why is this patient not sleeping? Why is the inflammation not resolving? Why does the conventional approach keep treating symptoms instead of causes? Those questions don't have simple answers inside a hospital system — but they led me somewhere unexpected.
I discovered doTERRA essential oils the way most nurses do: skeptically. A colleague brought a bottle of Lavender to the break room, and I found myself falling asleep for the first time in weeks on the drive home. I did what nurses do — I researched.
What I found in doTERRA's CPTG (Certified Pure Tested Grade®) protocol was the kind of rigor I respect: independent third-party testing, transparent sourcing, verifiable chemistry. These weren't mystery products. They were botanically verified, unadulterated plant essences — the same compounds that have been used in human health for thousands of years, now tested by modern science.
I started small. Lavender for sleep. Peppermint for the tension headaches that came with long shifts. Deep Blue on my feet after twelve hours of standing. The results were consistent enough to make me pay closer attention.
Slowly, I built a daily routine. And then, patients started asking questions. "What are you diffusing in here?" "What's that smell on your badge?" The conversations became part of my care — and the feedback was too consistent to ignore.
That's when I made it official. I became a doTERRA Wellness Advocate — not to leave nursing, but to extend the care I give beyond the hospital walls.
Fifteen years of nursing shaped a set of principles I bring into every client conversation.
I don't recommend anything I haven't personally vetted. Every oil suggestion I make has a rationale I can explain in clinical terms.
Nursing taught me to see the whole person, not a symptom. I approach wellness the same way — sleep, stress, nutrition, and nature working together.
I don't give scripts. I listen to what's actually going on for you and give you honest guidance — not a pitch.
