Hi. I’m Brenda.
After serving 16 years in the military and working in the corporate world for 13, I finally took a leap and left that world behind.
I went back to school, became a licensed esthetician and opened my own business.
I was introduced to doTERRA Essential Oils while doing product research for my esthetics business. Oils started as a nice aroma for my studio, but I was blown away by all the additional benefits.
Recently, I took another leap and closed my business to relocate closer to family.
It’s been a long year of getting settled in Phoenix and renovating a fixer upper, but now I’m blessed to be living within a few miles of all my family.
At 52, my priorities have also changed.
Finally I’m going to take time for me. It’s time to focus on health, wellness, balance and my passion for essential oils.
