EGYPT & OILS

While on a tour in Egypt , Petah-

Jane Auckland-Hall met Vanessa Jean Boscarello Ovens , another member of the tour group , and they bonded over the rare essential oils they found in Egypt . Petah-Jane also came across a local Egyptian woman with extensive essential oil knowledge , and she was enthralled with her many insights . These experiences resonated with Petah-Jane , and she hoped that one day she would have a similar understanding of essential oils .
When Petah-Jane returned home , her new passions for Egypt and oils grew stronger . Petah-Jane says , “ I came back with a vision to create tours in Egypt that would allow Westerners to connect with the authentic Egyptian spirit . I also started researching essential oils as I felt they would become a big part of my life purpose in addition to the tours .”
A little while later , Petah-Jane saw that Vanessa Jean started with dōTERRA , and Petah-Jane opened her home to Vanessa Jean as a place to stay and teach essential oil classes when she was in their area of Australia . Vanessa Jean accepted this invitation and taught many successful classes , and even piqued the interest of Petah-Jane and her husband , Ura . Eventually , Petah-Jane joined dōTERRA , but asked Vanessa Jean to not talk to her about the business for six months so that she could focus on her tour to Egypt .
During these six months , Petah-Jane couldn ’ t stop thinking about essential oils . She says , “ Even though I ’ d advised Vanessa Jean that I wouldn ’ t be doing the business within the first six months , the universe had other ideas . I dreamed constantly about essential oils . I couldn ’ t get away from them . Finally , I reached out to Ura and said , ‘ I ’ ve been dreaming about these oils . I really need to do this as a business .’ The rest was history .”
While the business bloomed , Ura started to have impactful essential oil experiences of his own . He witnessed the game-changing effect of Peppermint while he encountered temporary health issues , and even noticed the positive influence the oils had on his daughter . Ura says , “ When Petah-Jane told me that people in the business were called ‘ Wellness Advocates ,’ I actually laughed , and said , ‘ Gee , that ’ s a bit of a stretch .’ Now the joke is on me .”
Ura had worked in various enterprises as a CFO and COO in both science and medical fields . He always sought to work for companies that upheld high standards and were in sync with his ideals . While working for a Business Coaching firm , Ura and Petah-Jane attended a Co- Impact Sourcing ® trip in Queenstown , New Zealand . Ura says , “ The first night , Petah-Jane and I were both deeply moved , and I decided to join her full-time in the business . I ’ d been searching for a place where I could have a positive impact on the world , and it became clear to me that this was absolutely my path .” After this realization , as they were climbing a hill to harvest Douglas fir , Ura pulled out his phone and resigned on the spot .
Ura and Petah-Jane are a powerhouse pair that work to create a cohesive and inspiring team . With every step up , they discover a greater fullness to life and are able to explore their passions more deeply . Ura is currently using his love for writing to author his first book , inspired by dōTERRA , and Petah-Jane continues to reach out to those in Egypt , providing them with essential oils and offering humanitarian aid wherever she can . Ura says , “ We are driven by touching peoples ’ lives , and now , we have the opportunity to do that .”
