Did you know that Young Living carries an entire line of products dedicated to your fur-babies?! 

Why yes they do!  Riley

It's a bit of a controversial subject, but let me tell you, I used essential oils on my Dog Riley for 9 years, and she was living proof that a high quality, carefully made essential oil is just as beneficial for pets as it is for people.

"But why do I hear how dangerous they are?"

For the same reason people have to be SO careful with oils - there are a lot of toxic ones sold today. 

Essential oils are classified by the FDA as "fragrance". A "fragrance" can be anything with a smell.  There are many products sold as essential oils that are not at all! 

If a company says that their oil actually is made from the Lavender plant, they only need 1% of Lavender extract in it for it to be a legal statement.  Yikes!  



If a company says they are "100% Lavender", that means it is "100% their Lavender "essential oil" which is wide open to interpretation.

And then, production is a factor.  Companies can make oils quickly and in large quantities with high heat and multiple distillations of the same plant material. They can also make it from older plants not cultivated properly, from dried plants, and from plants grown with toxic pesticides. 

Is this starting to make more sense?

If you want to be sure, go right to the company that sells them.  Call them!  Do they have an advisory board dedicated to animals?  Do they have a Seed to Seal guarantee?

Are you searching for safer ways, but not sure how to start?

 




Hello!


I used to struggle with how to figure out what natural wellness and alternative therapies even were. How do you find them? How do you know what’s safe? How do you use them the right way? And how do you defend your choices in a world that’s so quick to grab a pill for everything?

I also didn’t understand the full extent of how my environment affects my family and me. The products in my home. The air we breathe. The little “everyday” exposures that add up over time. It was overwhelming. And honestly, a little frightening.

Then I discovered a community that had been there for years, but I never knew even existed. And it changed everything. People with a shared passion for nature’s original wellness plan. A place filled with professionals. Backed by science. Full of help, care, and real-life experience.

Now I help people who were just where I was in 2014. People who are yearning to learn more. And who want to feel confident that there are other ways to support health and wellness.

If that’s you, get in touch—I’d love to help!
