LIKE MOTHER, LIKE DAUGHTER
During her AromaTouch Technique journey, Kimberly developed a special bond with her daughter, Mercedes, who
came into their lives from an orphanage when she was 11 months old. Kimberly says, “She was a poor, neglected,
sweet baby girl who came to us with just the clothes she had on and a bottle. ”Mercedes is now a 13-year-old
with a true servant’s heart who isn’t afraid of hard work and is always willing to jump in and help others. “She is
truly my right hand girl. I absolutely love the time we spend training others; it’s an amazing experience being able
to change lives together. We often travel several hours to teach classes and doing that makes my heart happy.
Through these trips, we’ve even gotten to see some firsts together, like Lake Michigan.”
After watching her mom giving the AromaTouch Technique to others and seeing how happy it made them,
Mercedes realized that’s exactly what she wanted to do—help people and cheer them up. So she asked her mom
if she could be trained. She says, “My mom told me I had to be 18, but I could learn and help her, and that’s just
what I did!”
Mercedes likes to help her mom by
passing her the oils when she is doing the
demonstration, or setting up the table. She
says, “There are times when I’m a partner
fill in, or I’ll be the one that my mom does
the demonstrations on when we don’t have
enough people in the class.”
Kimberly mentions, “My favorite moment just
recently happened when Mercedes and I had
the privilege to teach a blind girl the technique.
It was rewarding to know that anyone has the
ability to learn. I love seeing each person who
receives this blessing be changed, physically
and mentally, along with the gratitude they
have for it.”
Kimberly Moore is a dōTERRA Wellness Advocate and an
AromaTouch Technique certified mother of 10 kids. She had
owned a daycare for 25 years in the city when her husband
accepted a position as a full-time pastor in a little country church.
They now love the country life and all that comes with it, including
their chickens, goats, sheep, cats, pigs, and one grand dog.
In December of 2013, not long after their move, Kimberly met
Micki Brogery at a flea market. It was Micki’s passion that brought
Kimberly into dōTERRA® when she brought a bottle of Vetiver
essential oil to her home late one evening. That night and that
oil sparked Kimberly’s own passion, and forever changed her
life. Shortly after joining dōTERRA, Kimberly completed the
AromaTouch Technique training. She says she had never thought
about becoming an instructor until she received an AromaTouch
Technique kit in the mail from her upline. She says, “They sent
me the kit as a gift when I hit Gold, and a card that said, ‘We
hope that now you are Gold you will become an AromaTouch
Technique instructor.’” Shortly after receiving the kit, she headed
to Georgia to meet Dr. Hill and become a certified instructor. She
says, “It has been two and a half years since my certification and I
am so very glad I did it. What an opportunity I have been given to
help others be able to give a blessing to someone else.”

her own family. “Being able to give my littles the AromaTouch Technique has been a huge blessing. In addition,
having the ability to teach my older kids to give the AromaTouch Technique has made me feel immense gratitude.
I would say to everyone, get certified! It is life changing for a lot of people. Even if you have no plans of giving
