I have contemplated starting this blog for quite some time now. It is a vulnerable thing to put myself out there. However, that is what I want to do in case the things I have learned can help someone else.
My body has taken me on a journey of questioning and exploration. As I learn and find new knowledge, my desire grows to share and empower others the way I am empowered. As it says in the Bible, "And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free."
I am a Mental Health nurse. I worked for 10 years at a treatment center for at risk youth, many of whom had mental health issues. I had an amazing opportunity to work closely with my patients, their parents and the therapists. I learned so much from my patients and their supportive people. I currently work at an inpatient eating disorder facility. The experiences I have had at these places have taught me a lot. I also have had my own emotional challenges.
One thing I have learned is the more we focus on finding the root of whatever problem we have the more likely we are to find solutions. I have found as my focus has shifted from symptom management to increasing health and wellness, healing occurs.
Essential oils are something I have found so helpful in my journey. I discovered them nearly 5 years ago. While I will share other things in this blog, one of my main goals is to educate and share the power of these oils in a holistic, safe manner.
So, welcome to my blog. I am excited to share, and hopefully have a chance to get to know and learn from my readers.
