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 .”
