Where do you start?
Hola!!
Where do you start with essential oils?
Right here....
First things first I don’t want you to feel overwhelmed so I’m going to show you a couple of my favourite kits that can get you started with the oils in a variety of ways. The other important thing for you to know is that Essential Oils are PLANT MEDICINE, they have the ability to support all parts of you, your mind, body, emotions and soul. My strength is in teaching you how to use these Essential Oils to Activate, Embody & Empower your Intuition so this means we work very closely with the more subtle yet powerful energy of the oils. Your intuitive self will automatically recognise and tune into the innate wisdom of the Essential Oils through your soul and emotions, however in doing this we need to acknowledge the 3D world grounding effect these oils have as well to support the foundation of our human experience that is our physical and mental experience.
A few important notes I also want to share with you about when you join dōTERRA
OK let’s get to it!

HANDS DOWN BEST VALUE FOR $ AND THE MOST VERSATILE KIT YOU CAN GET IS:
The Home Essentials Kit
It's not a particularly sexy or inspiring name but don't let it's functional title fool you, the Home Essentials Kit is the Foundational Kit that will set you up with support for your Body, Mind, Emotions & Soul.
10 Essential Oils all 15ml bottles - each holds 250 drops and when you only need one drop at a time they go a long way.
A cold air diffuser with a multiple time timer, a night light and it’s easy to clean - if you still have a candle burner, it's time to retire that beacuse all your doing is destroying the therapeutic properties of the oils when you heat them.
Plus you are going to want to add in a bottle of Fractionated Coconut Oil so you can use the oils on your skin, fractionated just means it’s had the compounds that make it hard and smell like coconut taken out so it’s silky smooth and absorbs easily. At only $16.50 AUD it’s a must have.

Ways these Essential Oils can support you Physically & Mentally
Mood - how important is it to Calm the Farm??? Emotional Health is my top priority for my self and my kids and the huz (aka the circus) - a variety of these oils help you to keep the zoo in check whether you need to motivate or de-escalate! ‘Bossy Worry’ is an unwelcome houseguest and we use specific oils to quiet down the noise that pesky thing makes!
Sleep - if you’re anything like me you’ll find it hard to stop your brain ticking of an evening, like even when I’m dog tired my brain can still be thinking of all the things I need to do tomorrow (even if I write a list!!) And now, using essential oils I don’t need to swig down a whole bottle of wine each night to ‘shutdown’ my brain (which doesn’t actually work anyway I just get palpitations, dry mouth and sometimes pick a fight about the wet towels lying in the floor). My Sampson has NEVER SLEPT BETTER! Plus the huz also uses these babies to sleep like a baby too!
Digestion - who doesn’t like a good Friday Night Pizza Night??? My Belly! That’s who, so now I have a couple of oils in my kit that will solve that bloaty, farty feeling in no time at all!! Seriously this is an actual life saver for me as when I travel I tend to shut up shop and close the back door for business cos there’s no way I am comfortable in an unfamiliar loo!! So a couple of drops and rubbed into my belly works a treat!
Skin - my skin has always been a bit ‘sensitive’ (that’s code for fucking irritated at the drop of a hat) thankfully there are a trio of oils in this kit that will blow your mind!!! Add them to your moisturiser and you’ll be glowing (in a good way!)
Respiratory Health - so you know when you are stuck indoors with either the heater blasting or the AC pumping and your nose gets all crusty and dry or blocked to the hilt? What about those times when the season changes and you are sneezing like a mofo, eyes watering and all - yep I feel you. Well you guessed it - there’s an oil for that too! It also helps with all kinds of respiratory issues which I can share more about with you later.
Focus - woah so this is a biggie for me cos I am prone to the Scattergun Effect meaning that it can be a liiiilllllltle bit tricky staying on task!! These oils are also fab for the kids particularly Jordan who is studying at the moment and like his mama can soooommmmetimes get a weansy bit distracted!
Energy - hell YES! On a Monday morning when you’ve got a rotten case of the CBF’s, or what about 3 in the afternoon when you are searching for the last bit of chocolate in the house to go with yet another coffee? I’ll hook you up with the BEST energy booster there is and hey baby they are all 100% naturale!
Natural Cleaning Solutions - he-hem, cleaning is definitely not my zone of genius and quite frankly talking about cleaning products does not float my boat but hey - we all gotta clean right? So why not do it with natural powerful oils that won’t have you gasping for air or see your skin peeling off after you touch it? Yep I’ll take 1 of everything!!! (Please note as much as I’d love to offer this there is no cleaning genie that comes with your purchase!)
Fist Aid - hot-diggity-dog this is so bloody cool, there are HEAPS of oils in this kit that can help you out with stings, bites, cuts, bruises, sunburn, sniffles, nits, aches & pains the list can go on!
Muscle and Joint Support - we LOVE this in our house especially Mike (cos he’s a bit old and broken!!) and Jordan (cos he plays footy for about 20 teams plus he’s a surf lifesaver). I also love using these oils to combat the crook neck I get from using the laptop and touch pad - know what I mean?
Immune Support - it’s great to have something at your fingertips that you can use when you start to feel a bit run down - just massage a special combo of oils (I’ll share this with you when you join) onto your feet and bish-bash-bosh you’re not going down like a sack of spuds and you can definitely soldier on and keep the kids going to school when you need to!
Cooking - again not my zone of genius - that’s Mike’s department BUT given that these oils are certified 100% pure and natural you can feel confident using some of them (it’s written on the bottle) in your food and drinks. If you are a foodie and cooking is you jam (pun totally intended) we have loads of resources for you to discover all sorts of ways to use the oils in your cooking in our gorgeous oily community.

OK, ok, ok, ok, ok, ok, ok,
Ready to get some? Click here and follow this simple guide and once you’re in I’ll reach out and say hi plus send you some handy information, set you up with an Oils Reference App as my gift to you, link you into our beautiful oils support groups and set up a date for a 20-30 minute phone call to go over your oils and the best ways for you to use them.
Of course if you’re a touchy feeling kinda person you can come to one of my public classes or I can come to yours and bring a few bliss balls and we can smell some oils with a group of your mates, but if you live out of town from me (I’m in Adelaide, South Australia) send me an email or message me on the socials and we can jump on a zoom call, I can talk you through what you would need. If you’re kinda shy and like to do your research first by all means go for it maybe you’d like to take my quiz and find out which oils are the right ones for you and I can send you a sample.
Now if your budget is just not going to stretch to the Home Essentials Kit - I feel you - I had to borrow the money off of my mum to buy it (thanks mama xx) I’ve got some more options below…
Other Options for you are:
The Essential Collection Kit ($174 AUD)- it’s almost the same as the Home Essentials Kit - it has all ten oils but they are 5ml (80 drops/bottle) instead of 15ml (250 drops/bottle), it has an extra oil called Smart & Sassy (great for metabolism) but it DOESN’T have a diffuser. The Home Essential Kit is better value for money as you get 3 times the amount of oils for less than double the price BUT if you can’t you can’t and I’d rather you actually get some oils in your house than none at all.
If you are on the bones of your arse or you just can’t justify spending up big on oils right now (believe me that will change plus I can show you how to get oils for free too) then you can pay a one off membership fee of $35 and pick and choose your oils from our vast product range (try not to get too overwhelmed with this, maybe look at the Intro kit which is a trio of Lemon, Peppermint and Lavender)
OK doll, go for it choose your flava or contact me for more advice - I’ve got a free Online Essential Oils Workshop you can access here too.
