Your First Step

Get Started with doTERRA

Pure essential oils, guided by a nurse. I'll help you choose what's right for you — no overwhelm, no guesswork.

The Process

How It Works

I keep it simple. Three steps and you'll have your first oils on the way.

1

Talk to Me First (Optional but Recommended)

Book a free 20-minute consult. Tell me what you're dealing with — sleep, stress, energy, pain — and I'll give you a nurse's honest recommendation for where to start. No sales pitch. Just guidance.

2

Choose Your Enrollment Kit

doTERRA's enrollment kits are the best way to start — you get wholesale pricing locked in, a curated set of oils, and often a free diffuser. I've outlined the kits below with my RN perspective on who each one suits best.

3

You're In — and I'm Still Here

After your kit arrives, I follow up. I'll show you how to use everything, answer every question, and help you build a routine that actually sticks. This doesn't end at the checkout.

Why It Matters

What Makes doTERRA Different: The CPTG Standard


As a nurse, I don't recommend anything I can't verify. The reason I chose doTERRA over any other essential oil brand is their CPTG Certified Pure Tested Grade® protocol.

Every single doTERRA oil is:

  • Sourced from nature — grown in the ideal climate for each plant, by committed local farmers
  • Botanically verified — tested to confirm it is exactly what it says it is
  • Unadulterated — no fillers, fragrances, dyes, or hidden ingredients
  • Third-party tested — results published and accessible to anyone who wants to check

That transparency is why I trust these oils enough to use them with my family — and why I'm comfortable recommending them to you.

The doTERRA name is a Latin derivative meaning "Gift of the Earth."
Founded 2008 with a bold commitment to sell only pure essential oils.
Three ways to use essential oils: Aromatic · Topical · Internal*
Each has its place in a daily wellness routine. I'll show you how.
Wholesale membership saves you 25% on every future order.
Included free with any enrollment kit. No monthly minimum required.
Common Questions

Let Me Answer the Honest Questions

I know what people wonder about. Let me address the real ones.

doTERRA is a direct-sales company with a multi-level compensation structure — so technically, yes. I want to be transparent about that. What I focus on is the product quality, which I've researched clinically. You don't have to become a distributor to buy from me — most of my customers simply buy at wholesale pricing with no intention of selling. I'm here for the wellness, not the recruitment.
I share educational information about essential oils and how they may support wellness — which is something any informed person can do. I am not providing medical diagnoses, prescriptions, or treatment plans. My nursing background helps me give you more accurate, nuanced information than most consultants, but I always recommend working with your own healthcare provider for medical decisions. You'll see a clear disclaimer on every page of this site for exactly that reason.
When you enroll with a kit, doTERRA includes a wholesale membership that gives you 25% off every future purchase for one year. After that, it's $25/year to maintain, or free if you have a Loyalty Rewards order each month. You are never required to sell anything or recruit anyone. It's simply a discount structure for regular buyers.
You can absolutely buy individual oils at retail pricing through my doTERRA referral link. The kits simply give better value — wholesale pricing upfront plus the membership. If you just want to try one oil first, that's perfectly fine. I'd rather you start somewhere than not start at all.
Many oils are safe and beneficial for both with proper dilution and guidance. Some oils should be avoided in certain circumstances. As a nurse, I am particularly careful about this area — please book a free consult before using oils with young children or during pregnancy. I'll give you specific, safe guidance based on your situation.
