Willem-Paul & Loussanna Koenen

EUROPE

FOLLOW YOUR PASSION

Willem-Paul Koenen woke up one morning with a feeling that he needed to pursue his true passion for a living— graffiti art. At the time, he was in his early twenties and all his friends were continuing on to higher degrees of study. He knew that furthering his academic education was an option for him, but one question lingered in his mind—“ What if I really could do something that I love?”

Despite the naysayers and social disapproval, Willem-Paul chose to follow his heart and took a leap into the unknown. This path brought him many wonderful and fun projects, and he eventually came across another artist, Loussanna, who joined him in his passion and in life.
After Willem-Paul and Loussanna got married, their schedules became hectic. They were taking on several large projects for big brand companies, and though it provided them with a creative outlet and an income, they found that the time-intensive projects were making the idea of a future family difficult. Together, they decided to make some adjustments in their life, including looking into the dōTERRA business opportunity more seriously.
Previous to their marriage, Willem- Paul was introduced to dōTERRA by a trusted friend. His friend told him about the business model and it sparked an interest with Willem-Paul. He said,“ I had a really good feeling about dōTERRA.
“ Our team is called‘ Team Abundance’ because it’ s about helping people and changing lives. It’ s not just about oils. It’ s not just about rank. It’ s not just about money. It’ s so much more.”
