NEW dōTERRA DIAMONDS “dōTERRA was the shelter that allowed us to grow and be able to get out of our difficult circumstances.” –David David & Ana Chapman WOODSTOCK, ONTARIO, CAN A ABUNDANT MIRACLES na Chapman saw the dōTERRA business opportunity clearly because of a coincidence at a church activity.

She explains, “My dad escaped El Salvador’s civil war to come to North America. If he could do that to improve his family’s life, then I can kick it up a notch and help provide the best I can for my family. There are so many opportuniti
