Paul and Delmar have always understood
the principle of hard work. Delmar received a technical
degree as an office manager and was working as a preschool program supervisor, while Paul was working as
an information systems manager. Neither had thought
much about direct sales, but all it took was the right
approach. Many people refer to dōTERRA as a gift, but
for Delmar and Paul it really was. Andrea Huddleston,
a family friend, would once again make Christmas a life
changing experience for the Ahlstroms by sending them
a Family Physician Kit.

Not long after this initial introduction, Natalie Goddard
visited Seattle where she taught Delmar how to use
essential oils. Delmar said, “I remember thinking, ‘this
woman is pregnant, it must be important for her to
come all this way.’” It was that kind of dedication and
kindness that made Delmar realize she wanted to be
part of this community.
However, Delmar didn’t jump into the business immediately. She admits, “I actually had the Family Physician
Kit for months without ever using the essential oils.”
Finally when her daughter became ill, she felt a need to
open the box. Delmar said, “I used the oils and watched
as her health improved.“ This experience was the beginning of many. Delmar explains, “I started hearing reports
about how dōTERRA essential oils were helping people

After five months, Delmar felt very strongly about
dōTERRA becoming a family business. Paul was very
supportive of Delmar’s choice. With his backing and
love, Delmar was able to grow her dōTERRA business

that were previously unavailable to her. With her
dōTERRA business, Delmar made the choice to leave
her career and became a stay-at-home mom.
Delmar and Paul truly care about others’ choices.
They want them to understand the possibilities that
dōTERRA provides. In order to be a great leader,
Delmar understands that you must put others first.
It’s this understanding that has helped Delmar realize
that business building is not complicated. She said
”dōTERRA seemed complicated when it was first presented to me, but it’s simple it’s just sharing and caring
about others’ wellness.”
In addition to putting others first, Delmar recommends
becoming educated. She said, “Take a class about the
product or the business each week. 90% of the training
available is free. The more you learn the more confident
you will become.” The Ahlstoms saw their own b
