Why dōTERRA?
1) TRUST-all certified pure + organic. More than just oils--vitamins, supplements, skin care, laundry detergent--yep they have it all + more. Many of the products that you see on the shelf of the super market are diluted with synthetic material to make it cheaper. They aren't only diluting the price, but also the quality of the product. Personally, if my goal is to heal myself or enhance my life, using something synthetic only takes me steps backwards instead of forward.

2) Co-Impact Sourcing + Healing Hands: doTerra sources its oils from over 40 countries —more than half of which could be considered developing countries. Co-Impact Sourcing is an initiative that seeks to develop long-term, mutually beneficial supplier partnerships while creating sustainable jobs and providing reliable income in underdeveloped areas. Additionally, the  Healing Hands Foundation, doTERRA’s charitable organization, provides funding and resources to create community-based, social-impact projects to improve lives in the larger communities where oils are sourced.

Past projects include building or sponsoring existing medical clinics, installing drinking water and irrigation systems, building schools, stopping sex trafficking, and providing other educational resources such as vocational training programs.

3) Wholesale Pricing + Residual Income: You don't have to earn an income when you sign up with a wholesale account, but you can! And you always have the opportunity to upgrade when you feel the time is right. Not only do I get the oils at wholesale price, which you can too! But there is also a way to supplement/replace your income. If making your own hours, working with people that you choose to work with and love, inspiring others, educating others, + earning a residual income from anywhere in the world sounds interesting to you--I am always happy to mentor you along the way. I'm also part of a highly supportive team so there is always someone to shine a light in the right direction.
