Living Well with Essential Oils
Stephanie Russell
In this workshop you will learn how to reduce your toxic load in your home through the use of essential oils.
With just a few simple ingredients and your favourite smelling essential oils you will make your own hand soap and room spray that will leave your house smelling amazing.
Stephanie Russell is a wife, a mama of two, and a Kindergarten teacher. She has always wanted to live in a non-toxic, more natural environment, and as a result, was drawn to doTERRA five years ago, just after the birth of her first child. Stephanie was looking for a way to reduce the toxicity in her household, be as chemical-free as possible, and improve the overall health and well-being of her family. Using doTERRA essential oils has allowed her to do this. She is passionate about sharing knowledge and teaching others about the power of essential oils.
