An Advocate for Inclusion : Sariah Knabe
Sariah Knabe is a Swiss dōTERRA Leader , Holistic Health Coach , business mentor , and mother of four autistic “ superhero ” sons . Her commitment , interest and passion for dōTERRA grew uniquely out of special life circumstances .
A deeply personal story of heartache , resilience and hope lies beneath Sariah ’ s discovery of dōTERRA . Her beloved first son was noticeably different even at a young age . He was very attached , often anxious and did not develop typical verbal language . After numerous examinations and assessments , he was diagnosed with ‘ autistic disorder ’ at the age of three . Doctors told Sariah and her husband that it would be a lifelong condition for which they could not provide any suitable medical support . Sariah immediately realised she had to find solutions herself . Little did she know that the rollercoaster of learning that she was to embark on would change her life forever .
While researching , she came across online content by two friends from Hawaii . They shared about the impact that using dōTERRA essential oils in their everyday lives had had , which piqued Sariah ’ s interest , especially due to the potential calming and supportive effects of the oils . After a virtual exchange with her dear friends , she ordered her first essential oils from dōTERRA in 2012 .
