Ways I Take Care with Aromatherapy
I became a mother for the first time at 23 years old. To some that might be considered very young, but for others who knew I had been married for over 4 years at that point, they probably wondered what took us too long. Either way you look at it, to me I was young, nervous, intimidated and excited all mixed in to one. My son was born and life completely changed. The way I looked at everything completely changed. One thing I vividly remember, is realizing that this little baby's health and care was now my responsibility. That is huge!
I had always been interested in all things organic and natural. The natural lifestyle was pleasing to me and I had gradually made changes in my own personal lifestyle that corresponded better with nature. I knew I wanted to incorporate as much of that natural lifestyle in my parenting and caring of my newborn child as possible. I started exploring the world of aromatherapy and essential oils. I found out very quickly that there was way more to this world than I could ever imagine, but it intrigued me and offered me alternative ways to create a healthy environment for my new little family.

I found out very quickly that there was way more to this world than I could ever imagine, but it intrigued me and offered me alternative ways to create a healthy environment for my new little family.
As the years went on I became more and more hooked. I found out different ways essential oils could not only help my family, but help me with a lot of my personal struggles as well. Not many know this about me, but I have suffered from severe anxiety issues most of my life. Anxiety has often consumed me and my every thought. It almost feels like a dark pit I fall down and just can't grasp anything to pull me out. In my adult years I have searched for all different ways to help climb out of that pit. My biggest desire is being able to go the natural route if at all possible. It has taken a lot of trial and error, but I truly feel that aromatherapy was my answer to so many of those internal issues I was struggling with. Essential oils and natural products brought on feelings of comfort and happiness. Feelings that I could climb this mountain in front of me. Feelings that this pit was not something too deep for me to escape from.
Once I found out how much this natural route could help me, my passion drove me forward to help as many people as I possibly could! I felt everyone I came in contact with should be able to help their families and themselves with these precious little bottles of great scents. Thus began not only my personal journey with aromatherapy, but eventually my rewarding career. A career that allows me to help others and educate them on safely using these natural products to help take better care! Self care is so massively important. That is probably the biggest key I have found in my personal anxiety struggles. Finding what makes me happy and what can help me escape is the most powerful self care tool of all. Escaping in to the world of essential oils and all their plant goodness has changed my life. It is now incorporated in to almost everything I do. My 'happy little bottle of smells' as I often call them. There are so many different ways to take care of ourselves -- and I am so happy that aromatherapy is one of the ways I have found to take care of me.
