when she was introduced to dōTERRA.
Danielle says, “I already had a ton of oils,
so I wasn’t interested.” Then, her friend
Kierston Kirschbaum invited her to the
west coast conference, and Danielle
went to learn more about essential oils.
It was there that she was inspired by
Dr. Hill to do her doctorate research on
essential oils and the brain.
Danielle started building her business
while working full time and studying for
her doctorate. She made sure to devote
at least two hours every day to her
dōTERRA business, often working
12 to 15 hours a day. On Saturdays,
she focused on her doctorate. She

Though her life is still busy, Danielle is
grateful that it’s now stress free and full
of meaningful relationships. She says,
“I have a deep connection with my
builders that has enhanced my life.
Being able to develop these relationships
with people that I love and care about
has benefitted me so much.”
Since starting dōTERRA, Danielle has been
able to present her research on essential
oils at mental health clinics and hospitals
all over the country. She also works with
an organization for autism and developmental disabilities to incorporate essential
oils into their training and education.

“I live down by the beach,
and I love surfing. ‘Surf
life’s rough waves’ is one
of my ocean rules that
I tell myself constantly,
especially when I am
struggling. It helps me
remember that I just
have to keep surfing.”
“Surfing is one of the
hardest sports I’ve
ever done. You have to
balance on a small board
on a moving wave and
every wave is different.
You have to learn how
to surf things that are
unstable.”
“As you surf life’s rough
waves, you start to
master that balance
no matter what new
wave comes at you.
Sometimes you get
tumbled, but you get
back up on the board.”
“Remembering my

normal life isn’t meant

sailing along. It’s meant
to be full of hurdles that
we can overcome.”
