My Story
After 35 years in the wellness field, helping people connect with their souls, release trauma symptoms and find ever deeper creativity and satisfaction in life, I hit a wall. Basically, I overworked myself into a painful impasse. In the fall of 2017, after over one year of illness, I lay in bed, beyond exhausted. My naturopathic doctor had me in and out of the hospital for tests at least once per month. I took supplements, herbs and finally a pharmaceutical for 8 months and I kept feeling worse. My muscles and joints ached painfully all the time. I could not bend my knees to sit on the ground anymore, and I was barely able to think. I had to hire someone to pay my bills because I could not do the math. My ability to speak had slowed down considerably. I could not access my intuition, or a will to live. I was so weak I could barely walk up and down my driveway to get the mail! It was a ‘dark’ time. This was embarrassing, since my name means ‘Light’. And a significant part of my spiritual practice is about connecting with light and I just could not access the inner light, even in my imagination. I felt ashamed about this, but try as I might, I only sensed dullness inside me.
Barely able to work, I ran out of money. So I put the healing art center I’d created on the market and rented out all of my property, including my own apartment, to pay the bills.
I trusted that this was all somehow for the best - this situation which seemed like a wholesale erasure of my life.
Technically ‘homeless’ with nowhere to sleep, I stayed with kind friends, a partner who lived hours away, or in a construction site on my land for 2 1/2 months, taking showers at friends’ places or at the local pool.
Once, while laying in bed, feeling empty and useless, I actually felt my soul tear away from by body; not totally, but I felt like my soul ripped about 3/4 of the way off of my body. A written word flashed across the screen of my mind: incompatible. I knew what it meant and it saddened me. It meant that my soul and body were no longer compatible. I was dying.
Reflecting back on over 50 years of creativity, it was clear my life had been beautiful and fruitful, so I resigned myself to the fact that this was a good enough time for this ‘me’ to end.
I alerted my daughter’s father that he might need to take on full custody and I made peace with death. I wrote a will.
I was also aware that I did not want to die. I love my daughter dearly and this was her senior year in high school.
From this place of surrender, I got an intuition that changed my life. It was strange because, during the long illness, it was rare for me to get intuitions. I mostly felt very dull and sad.
Now, anyone who knows me is aware that the real, essential ‘me’ does not always come across as being sad. I’m innately quite bright and creative, as I believe we all are. I did attempt to keep in touch with that ‘light’ and creative side of me. However, deep down, I was spiraling into despair and shutdown.
So, the clear flash/intuition came as a surprise. It was strong and it told me to have tea with Michelle Menegaz, a kind, local, homeschool teacher living in a quaint “Little House on the Prairie” style farmhouse surrounded by fields, forests, goats, chickens and vegetable gardens.
While this intuition felt good, it made no sense because I’d never gotten together with Michelle for tea.
I felt awkward reaching out to her, but I trusted my intuition, and I trusted Michelle’s heart.
That was all. And, that was enough.
So, several mornings later, sitting in the light at Michelles’ kitchen table, I noticed she had a bunch of little essential oil vials in the middle of the table. I felt attracted to them and she let me open them and sniff with wonder. I’d used essential oils before. However, these particular powerful, concentrated plant essences all smelled so very different - it was invigorating and eye-opening! Michelle told me that the peppermint one had helped her stop decades of migraines, when nothing else had worked. I was intrigued, remembering how essential oils had helped me years ago when I’d gotten a spider bite while camping in some deep woods; I’d used a set of essential oils back then to soothe my throbbing pains for hours while everyone around me was sleeping. I knew that somehow the essential oils had supported my immune system in its night-long battle with the spider venom.
Now, sitting with Michelle, sniffing oils and putting them on my skin, I felt delighted! One of the blends, Immortelle, reminded me of my mother’s cherished perfume. My mother had passed on years ago. The Immortelle blend has a strong, deep and rich aroma made from frankincense, sandalwood, lavender, myrrh, helichrysum and rose. Oh my God! Talk about powerful plants!!! I felt better and better the more I inhaled all these ancient medicines Michelle had literally living on her kitchen table. I felt like a wild, mystical creature waking up amidst priceless potions! Something joyful and vital had been let loose from within me. I felt a touch of brilliance awaken in me.
My own intuition told me to order as soon as possible and to do the business in my own, loving way. I knew that listening to my intuition would help me. And, I had surrendered to the fact that I simply do not understand the mysterious ways of the universe, and that is ok.
Michelle suggested I get the basic kit of ten original doTERRA oils that are like a full home apothecary, including oils and blends to support the digestive, respiratory, muscular, immune, nervous and energetic systems of the body. It came with a diffuser.
Since I had barely worked all year and literally had no money of my own, I borrowed the funds from a kind friend and waited for the purple box to arrive.
When the oils were in my hands, I opened up each of glass vials of pure and precious plant love and inhaled, deeply, three times with each. I diluted them in organic olive oil from my kitchen and smoothed them into my body, especially into all of my swollen joints. I put a drop or two of frankincense essential oil under my tongue, swirling the powerful ancient resin around in my mouth.
Within 24 hours, my life force returned. It was a weird miracle, I must admit, and I was ecstatic. I was no longer tired, my muscles and joints didn't hurt. I could bend my knees fully without pain and I could think much more clearly. Within days, I had the sense that rays of pure and clear white energy were radiating off of my head in all directions. Soon, beautiful new dreams for my future were ignited. I felt the inner presence of LIGHT growing in me and I had hope again.
Later, my friend, Sparrow, a doctor of physical therapy who works with these oils, would tell me that it was my very soul that the plants had emancipated from some stuck pattern.
As my energy came back, I took my property off the market. I was ecstatic to be functional for my daughter's last year of high school. For my second month, I ordered doTERRA’s Cleanse and Restore kit, got on the Lifelong Vitality vitamins, minerals, anti-oxidants and omegas, and began going on walks again, little by little, walking more, to strengthen my body!
I signed up for Tai Chi.
My second month with doTERRA, I was eligible to get all my shipping costs back and 10% (soon to be 30%) of my wholesale purchase costs came back to me! I was spending about 10% of what I’d spent on the doctor and tests, and I was getting 1,000,000 times more support, plus my LIFE! While the Western medical model had been killing me, now I felt my own vitality was running the show, with the help of nature.
When I told my doctor about how great I felt, she was literally uninterested. This blew my mind! I thought, until then, that doctors, and especially naturopaths, wanted to help people, naturally. While I am deeply thankful for the many miracles of Western medicine, and I have met lovely naturopaths before and since then, this was an amazing moment, and one that helped me understand that some doctors will only focus on making money and not on serving others.
Michelle, Em Falconbridge and the doTERRA team helped me get my doTERRA business going and I feel deeply grateful for the health, personal growth and economic support that this business has opened up for me and so many people. In the past five years, I’ve helped countless people - those who have ordered the oils and those who have shared them with others and their families! I’ve heard so very many empowering and heart-warming stories of how people’s lives are better because of my sharing these plant medicines.
Sharing natural health options via the doTERRA business has been a life-altering process. I kept checking in with Michelle and she guided me as to what to do each day; easy things, like inviting people to fun classes and following the step by step way of running the business, which is available via the doTERRA website. Of course, I did it my way.
I kept on studying, learning more about essential oils, scheduling classes, inviting folks to introductory classes, presenting the info and resources that pertain to their challenges, helping people order, what will help them, guiding them in the use the products, and showing them how to save money by paying up to 55% less than the wholesale prices. And I just kept on serving in that way.
Over the past five years, I’ve been so happy seeing that people who had been hooked on patented synthetic chemicals are now looking toward essential oils, plants and other ancient and natural modalities, including dietary and lifestyle changes, to address their health challenges, naturally, safely, effectively and in ways that enhance their overall brain function, emotional wellness, spiritual soul connection, and physical vitality.
In my day to day coaching life, and in my role helping create and sustain community, cross culturally, I help individuals and groups gain clarity, confidence, effectiveness, creativity, freedom and transformational evolution, using natural, innovative, soul-centered expressive arts modalities, psychological methods, and cutting-edge coaching techniques, including ethical NLP, TIME techniques, tapping and much more.
With the support of doTERRA, I also help people wanting to evolve with the support of powerful plant allies and natural products.
Both in my coaching business and in my doTERRA business, I also help people tune into the abundance flow of the universe, their own self worth, and their innate ability to make money via doTERRA and via many ways that create happiness and well-being for all.
I believe it’s important to follow one’s Inner Wisdom and turn to Nature as our most powerful ally in the healing process. I believe it is important to be present, confident, creative, ecstatic and fulfilled in our lives - in ways that make a positive difference for all those around us and for the future generations.
So, back in the fall of 2017, gratefully and with the help of doTERRA, my daughter and I made it through the winter - TOGETHER :)
I did not die. I did not get the flu. It all happened naturally.
Now my daughter has her own empowering relationship with doTERRA, and she focuses her studies and work on the integration of ancient and modern healing practices that help people living with chronic illness.
Everyone is unique and I we all have very personal ways of attending to our mysterious callings!
I encourage you to listen deeply to your own inner wisdom and follow it!
