NEW dōTERRA DIAMOND
Pramela Thiagesan
My children walked every Diamond step with me.
They are not just my family, they’re my business partners.
Being the Difference
B
ecause she grew up in Singapore,
Pramela Thiagesan has always used
essential oils. When a friend needed a
ride to a dōTERRA class, Pramela offered
to take her. At the class, Pramela won
a free bottle of Wild Orange. She says,
“When I opened it and took my first
whiff, everything in my brain just came to
life.” She went home and compared it to
her collection of oils, and she could tell
that dōTERRA was different.

Though Pramela wanted to purchase
a kit immediately, she couldn’t afford
even the cheapest kit. She was living in
transitional living for victims of domestic
and tax. She was so defeated she cried.
children were categorized as homeless.
But, she made getting oils a priority and
started taking some of the few things
she owned to the consignment store to
sell them. After a month, she had $150
to buy a Family Physician Kit. She called
customer service to place her order
and her card was declined. She only
had exactly enough money for the cost
of the kit, but not for the shipping fees
Her daughter offered to sell her toys to
get the extra money they needed. This
inspired Pramela to keep trying. Soon
after, they were able to afford the Family
Physician Kit.
As Pramela began to use the oils, people
around her noticed a difference and
asked how they could get them too. Not
fully aware of the compensation plan,
Pramela thought that telling people
about the wholesale account instead
of retail would mean that she was
losing out on income, but she helped
her friends sign up anyway. When
she received a check a week later that
covered the cost of her oils, she was
shocked. She started working to make
enough to pay for rent and move out
of transitional living. Then, she thought
if she could just make $2,000 a month,
she would be set. She reached that
goal within four months. “After that, it
stopped being about the money and
it became about helping other people
earn what they needed.” She soon
realized that she had become a part of
something bigger than herself.
Pram knows that she could not have
achieved anything without the support
and encouragement of her children.
Sometimes they couldn’t afford gas to
drive to a class, so they would walk through
Wisconsin winters to get there—and her
children found ways to make it fun and
enjoyable. She says, “My children don’t
remember our hardships with anything
but pride and victory because of the
abundance and the blessings that we
embody in our life right now.”
Today, she can hardly comprehend all
that she has received. She says, “Last
month, my check was $13,000. If anyone
had asked me what I needed to feel
stable, comfortable, and powerful in my
life, $13,000 is not the amount I would
have come up with—it would have been
a lot less.” Now, she is putting her money
back into supporting the domestic abuse
programs that once supported her.
“dōTERRA has enabled me to actualize
my childhood dream of being the reason
why someone’s life could be different.
There’s no way I could have done this
without dōTERRA.”
Becoming a Leader
DUPLICATE ABUNDANCE “I didn’t start my business by looking for
builders. I wanted to bless the lives of others with the benefits of
the oils. Through usage, others experienced their lives transform,
and they got bonuses to be able to afford the oils. This then rippled
into financial abundance, so they turned around and became excited
about being able to bless ot
