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.”
