consultant stories
When I was introduced to dōTERRA, in March of 2012, I was skeptical. Having been
in the health industry since college, I’ve been bombarded with nutritional supplements, magic
juice, and miracle pills. These have all been accompanied by promises of health and wealth.
However, these have all turned out to cause more harm than good. My mission, since purchasing our fitness studio, has always been to help people enhance their lives through health
and fitness. Most of the products that I’ve seen come through our society, only provide short
term results and often have detrimental side effects.
Providing Personal
Product Experiences
Our massage therapist, Kris Oleksyk, is someone that I trust and respect deeply so when
she began educating me on the benefits of
essential oils, I actually listened. However, it
wasn’t until she suggested that I use Balance
and lavender to sleep that I truly understood
the dōTERRA mission. The very first evening, I
was able to sleep through the night. This was
something that I had been unable to do for a
very long time. Despite my success, I wasn’t
convinced. I thought that the belief I had gained
from listening to Kris had caused something
of a placebo effect. It’s hard to overcome years
of skepticism in one day. However, Kris didn’t
give up. She suggested I try using Breathe for
my son’s allergies. Again, I saw improvement.
Personal experience had done what nothing
else could have, and I was hooked.
Encouraging
Education
After experiencing for myself the products
effectiveness, Kris introduced me to others
who helped me understand how essential oils
worked and why they were so effective. In addition, I was encouraged to do my own research
on the company. What I found truly impressed
me. I respected the company’s values and their
desire to empower individuals in taking control
of their health. When I found that they stressed
nutrition, exercise, rest, and a reduced toxic
load, I was in! I just loved that they didn’t condone short cuts, but rather chose to educate
individuals on living healthy.
Catching the Vision
On April 20, 2012, I signed up as a product
user. I had no intention of sharing the oils, but
simply wanted to use them to benefit my family. However, as the owner of a fitness studio,
I was accustomed to working long hours with
very little pay. My family was living in a two
bedroom apartment that we were quickly out
growing, and financially life was looking a little
grim. This reality forced me to view dōTERRA
not only as a source of increased health, but as
a road to financial security.
Holding Events
Almost immediately, I recognized the interest
others showed in essential oils. I began hosting
events where I shared the benefits with friends,
family, and fitness clients. I encouraged them to
experience the products for themselves, and I
couldn’t believe the outcome. Sure, I had skeptics and still do, but I understand the power of a
personal product experience. I know that once
they familiarize themselves with the products,
they will see results.
Achieving Success
By June, I was earning enough money to pay
for my product and the product used in the
fitness studio. In November of 2012, with the
help of my upline, I reached the rank of Silver.
Since that time, I have continued to work hard
to achieve my goals. I hope to be an example
to those whom I enroll. I want them to understand that they can achieve the same success.
I believe dōTERRA is a gift that has allowed us
to increase our circle of friends, aid others in
achieving increased health and happiness, and
blessed us financially. I am just so grateful to be
involved with the dōTERRA team.
