The Family Business
Brooke Tazbaz was working as an emergency room nurse in Las Vegas when she invited a friend to teach an essential oils class at her house. Brooke knew little about the oils, but the more she learned, the more she wanted them in her home. For the most part, she used Lavender, DigestZen ®, and Lemon.
Nearly six months after Brooke enrolled in dōTERRA, her husband, Thomas, who worked as an executive in the food and beverage industry, received a job transfer that relocated the family to Kentucky. After this change, Brooke and Thomas felt that she should not go back to the ER, but should stay at home with their two girls. Though it was good to spend more time with her daughters, Brooke missed the ER and the constant learning she experienced there. In an effort to continue her education, she began to educate herself on oils and couldn’ t believe what they could do.
Soon after Brooke and Thomas moved, word got around the neighborhood that Brooke was a nurse, and the phone calls from local moms started coming in. However, unlike the ER, many of the neighborhood children had less-extreme issues, for which Brooke would suggest essential oils. This response fostered many questions about the oils, and, eventually, people wanted their own.
With so many families wanting to get or learn about dōTERRA oils, Brooke looked more seriously into the business, and realized that she would need help. Before moving to Kentucky, she had attended a couple of classes by Boyd Truman, and, not knowing much about ranks or if he was even in her upline, she decided to email him for advice. Brooke says,“ A couple days later he gave me a call, and from that point on, we did weekly phone calls.” With Boyd’ s help and a determination to figure out the business, her team began to expand, and they saw much success and growth.
Once Brooke hit Diamond, Thomas resigned from his job of 35 years to join her in the business. Though difficult to leave his passion in the food and beverage industry, his journey with dōTERRA has given him an opportunity to help further the business with his professional skills and to be an example and advocate for men interested in dōTERRA. Thomas says,“ We found that many women wanted their husbands to be able to hear a male’ s perspective about dōTERRA, the opportunities, and how successful this could be for them, and that has been great for me.”
But the family business doesn’ t stop there. Brooke and Thomas’ s oldest daughter, Marce, became a Wellness Advocate at 18, and is now sharing and teaching about the oils with her sorority. Thomas says,“ She has learned so much from her mother and seen it work for herself that now she is helping her friends at college. It’ s amazing having a 19-year-old understand the business and the product.” They are also proud of their youngest daughter, Harper, who, even though she is eight years old, is a Wellness Advocate in every way and is constantly using and sharing the oils with her friends.
Embracing the dōTERRA lifestyle has been a great blessing to the Tazbaz family, and they are enjoying the extra family, health, and time freedom that has come as a result of the business. Now, they continue to press forward to Blue Diamond to expand their reach of influence. Brooke says,“ We want to be able to have unlimited funds so that we can help the most people and do the most good. Whether it’ s helping someone financially, giving someone a bag of groceries, or offering extra essential oils, we are working for the freedom to give fully.”
