Little did I know that ten years ago, when I was introduced for the first time to a natural method of support during times of stress, that I had found a way to protect my animals from harm.
That's when I was guided intuitively to attend a talk given by a very knowledgeable naturopathic doctor who suggested that I try essential oils for system support.
One particularly dfficult day, I grabbed a bottle of lavender essential oil and used it as instructed but didn't think much about it. When I found myself smiling and laughing with a friend a few minutes later, it dawned on me how much the oil had shifted my energy. I was much more relaxed and wasn't thinking about anything except the enjoyable conversation I was having.
That led me to explore using essential oils to help not only myself but also my highly-sensitive dog, Meesha. Anything and everything could stress her...fireworks were the worst. Desperate to help Meesha, I was excited to learn that I could use the same oils for her that I was using for myself!
At that time, I was also becoming educated about how the toxins in our environment effect our animals. I was alarmed at how many toxins we are exposed to in a given day. When I learned about how our pets soak up harsh chemicals through their paws, even licking those chemicals and ingesting them, I became committed to finding a way to live a toxin free lifestyle for my animals. When I discovered I could actually use the same oils that helped me so much during stressful situations, not only for emotional support but also to free my home of toxins, I was thrilled!
The education that I have given myself through extensive research on the amount of toxins in household cleaning products, personal care products (the average woman applies 300 chemicals to her body a day, 80 before breakfast) and more, has forced me to find another way to live.
My passion is to help people and their pets. That's why I am excited to host this free online class Essential Oils 101, Tuesday August 1 at 7:30PM EST. Join us and learn more - or just come for the chance to win an essential oil giveaway!
