I am so very grateful that Debbie, the owner of the  Enchanted Forrest Reiki Center here in Las Vegas, Nevada has invited me to teach about the benefits of essential oils and the powerful impact they have on  our emotions!!  Every month, I am blessed to meet like minded, spiritually driven men and women that want to enhance their health with natural solutions!  Together, we learn about the healing benefits of essential oils, our emotions, the power of positive affirmations and crystals!

​Essential oils are extracts from plants and are distilled from the bark, leaves, stems, roots and flowers of different vegetation from all over the world. When you look at a plant under a microscope, the plant's scent or aromatic compounds are made up of tiny organic molecules.  There are over 3,000 identified varieties of aromatic compounds that each contain their own unique chemical constituent. These protect the plant, regenerate it and help it heal from injury or infection. When we use essential oils, they can also give similar support to our body. Essential oils are powerful and are 50-70 times more potent than herbs! One drop of essential oil can get into our cells within 10 seconds and service every cell in our body in within 15 minutes. It is safe and effective to use these natural compounds on our body because we too are from nature. It is extremely important  that you use the purest essential oils from plants that are organic and free of pesticides.  

​The only brand I recommend is dōTERRA because of their purity, potency, strict testing and the impact they make on communities all of the world.  To learn more about the science, testing, global impact and intentions behind this company, go to www.sourcetoyou.com  OR visit my doTERRA website HERE

As we learn more about Aromatherapy and the role it plays on emotions.  We begin to get EMPOWERED to deal with stress, anxious feelings & overwhelm in a natural way!   Check out the chart above.  Pick an emotion that you are feeling.  Then us an doterra essential oil next to that emotion to help immediately feel centered and in alignment.  (This photos is me at the 2019 doterra Convention in Salt Lake City, UT)  
Join us at an upcoming class at the Enchanted Forrest Reiki Center HERE to learn more about this.

When we pair essential oils WITH the power of  crystals, something magical begins to happen.
​What crystal would you choose?
The below descriptions of the crystals was found HERE at Energy Muse!

Amethyst  Intuition • Relaxation • Clarity
Amethyst Tumbled Stone is the exact kind of relaxing energy that we could all use after a long day. Allow its energy to soothe away the day-to-day stresses that keep you up at night. It is a wonderful crystal to keep in your bedroom to encourage restful sleep.
Working with it enhances your intuition and empowers you to trust it.   


Aventurine  Luck • Abundance • Confidence
If you are looking for Good Luck-- Aventurine Tumbled Stone is what you want! While playfully referred to as the gambler’s stone, it is said to be one of the luckiest crystals.
Working with it graces the spirit with a sense of excitement and optimism that makes jumping out of your comfort zone less scary.


Carnelian  Creativity • Motivation • Confidence
Carnelian Tumbled Stone is the life of the party. Creative and confident, it motivates a rush of vibrancy within the sacral chakra to stimulate your inner star.
Working with it will lend a sense of power that can prove especially beneficial for anyone needing to break through creative blocks or those embarking on new projects.


Lapis Lazuli  Awareness • Inner Wisdom •Trust
Realize your spiritual potential with the high vibrational energy of Lapis Lazuli Tumbled Stone. Filled with the awareness and wisdom this stone brings, you begin to realize that you already
have all the answers you seek within.

The energy of Red Jasper Tumbled Stones seems to hug you with its comforting essence. It supports you in strengthening your foundation so that you feel stable enough to start taking action in your life. Working with it helps you to take on new pursuits, deal with conflicts and approach problems with creative solutions.


Tiger’s Eye  Power • Courage • Understanding
Tiger’s Eye Tumbled Stone shifts your outlook so that you can gain a deeper understanding of yourself. Is there a new hobby you’d like to try? A solution to a problem you haven’t considered? An aspect to yourself that you haven’t indulged? Working with it grounds you in the power you need to inspire courage to pursue new ventures.


Turquoise  Health • Healing • Renewal
A Turquoise Stone is a Master Healer that brings powerful healing energies to your mind, body and spirit. It promotes energy flow throughout your body while aiding in the body’s natural cycle or renewal and regeneration.

Our thoughts are so powerful and the words we SPEAK become our reality!  I often stop myself and say 
"What am I saying to myself on a daily basis?  
​Can I be more kind to myself and others with the words I choose?"

I would love to share an excerpt out of the book "Emotions and Essential Oils" 7th Edition
"There are 5 Stages of Healing!
Essential oils assist the physical body, the heart, help release limiting beliefs, increase spiritual awareness and connection and inspire fulfillment of our life's purpose."   If you would like to read more, check out the book HERE for TONS of information on our emotions and the doterra essential oils that can help bring emotions back into balance naturally.  Below are just some of the affirmations we use in our class!   

Essential oils are not intended to diagnose, treat, prevent or cure any disease.  They are a natural tool to help the body, mind and spirit come back into balance.  If you have a serious mental or health concern, please connect with your doctor.  

I invite you to join us at an upcoming event so you can choose the essential oils, crystals and affirmations that speak to YOU!

Aren’t babies the BEST WAY to start people?

They are so precious, innocent and truly a gift from heaven!   
We truly want what is best for our children and want to keep them safe and healthy!

According to the nonprofit Environmental Working Group (EWG), “the EPA has determined that infants up to age 2 are, on average, 10 times more vulnerable to carcinogenic chemicals than adults, and from age 2 to 15 they are 3 times more vulnerable to carcinogens than adults. Before the age of 2 babies have accumulated 50% of their life-time cancer risk.”

YIKES!!!  Is anyone else sorta freaking out after reading this????  

6 toxic chemicals that may be lurking in your baby products that you may want to research to
​STAY AWAY FROM are:


1. Fragrance 
2. 1,4-dioxane

1. PEG’s
   
2. Sodium Lauryl Sulfate
   
3. Chemicals that end in “-eth”

3. Formaldehyde
4. Nitrosamines
5. Petroleum- based products
6. Parabens 

Many of these toxic chemicals may cause cancer, diabetes, learning disabilities, focus issues, ADD - ADHD, Autism and so much more!  Do a google search and you will be alarmed!

Our skin is our largest organ and whatever we put on our skin is getting INTO our bloodstream.  Babies are especially at risk as their bodies are so tiny. 
My kids are all teens and I WISH I would have know there was a safer way back then.  Now, I know better, so I can do better and share what I have learned with you each of you!  

There is a safer way!  There is a less expensive way!  There is an easier way!

Below are some DIY Ideas that you can do at home to safely care for your baby without any harmful ingredients!  I only recommend doTERRA essential oils as they are the most tested and most trusted essential oils on earth.   Many other essential oils have toxic fillers or they are synthetic and may be harmful to your health.  


A wonderful resource to see the purity and potency of doterra’s oils ~ The SAFEST for your baby and home is www.sourcetoyou.com


Safety first!   All essential oils MUST be diluted before applying to your baby’s skin.  
My favorite carrier oils are any pure oil such as fractionated coconut oil, almond oil, olive oil or jojoba oil.

Teething:  Use Roman Chamomile or Lavender. 
One drop essential oil with one Tablespoon carrier oil.   Use a small amount to gently massage on jawline.  

Healthy Tummy:  Digestive Blend , Wild Orange, Roman Chamomile or Lavender
Massage 1 drop diluted with 1 Tablespoon carrier oil onto baby’s tummy to calm digestive troubles.

Sleep:  Roman Chamomile or Lavender
Diffuse one drop into the air and/or add 1 drop Lavender diluted with 1 Tablespoon carrier oil to feet and chest.  Or add 4 drops lavender to 2 oz spray bottle and spritz on sheets before bed.

Peaceful Mood:   Lavender, Wild Orange or Peace (reassuring blend) 
Let baby breathe a drop of each from your hands to soothe crying.   Can also diffuse one drop during nap time.

Boosted Immunity:  OnGuard (protective blend) & Melaleuca Tea Tree Oil
Diluted one drop of each with 1 Tablespoon carrier oil.  Rub onto babies spine and bottoms of feet 2-3 times daily.  Diffuse 4-6 drops daily in the home to keep baby’s immune system boosted.

Happy Skin & Bum:  Roman Chamomile and Lavender
Combine a drop of each with 1 Tablespoon carrier oil and rub onto baby’s bum 2-3x a day.   Can also add these to a non-toxic lotion to soothe babies skin.

To get started with these essential oils, I highly recommend the Aroma Touch Kit
as this includes a diffuser, carrier oil and most of the oils listed above and an essentials book!   It also comes with a free wholesale account and access to our continuing education series, weekly team calls, monthly free make n take events, an EO training portal, supportive community and so much more!     Click HERE to see the starter kit.

When you do get started with this kit,   I will send you the digestzen touch and a welcome package as my gift to you. Email me HERE and reply with  the title FREE DIGESTZEN to redeem your gift!


Congratulations on your bundle of joy!  Below is  "Make over your diaper bag" with more ideas on naturally caring for your little one!   This is just  a peek into the many amazing things that essential oils can do for your family!   I would love to connect with you!  Set up an appointment HERE to get all your questions answered.  I look forward to supporting you!   I wish you many blessings and a long life filled with health, happiness and joy.   Tell me, how would you like to support your baby naturally?


Blessings,
Natalie

They say “When the student is ready, the teacher appears.”  
I want to share with you many lessons that I learned from sweet, sweet Dana.



1. Treasure the TIME we have on this earth.   Just a few days before she passed, she told me that she just wanted more time!   With tears streaming down both of our faces, I wished this for her too with my whole entire heart.  The fact that she shared this with me, in these last tender moments made me stop and think… WHAT am I doing with MY time???  Is it filled with love, gratitude, peace, kindness and grace?   OR is it filled with fear, judgement, impatience, anger and resentment?   What a reflection… I choose love now more than ever. 


2.  Be Grateful for all of our blessings!   On Thursday, August 15th she told me that she took so much for granted!  Don’t we all?  I now stop more often to take deep breaths and BE present!  I am more grateful for sunshine, family, children, my husband, friends, trees, health, food, freedom and safety.   My intention is to be grateful for every day and have eyes of gratitude, eyes of light and love.


3.  Kindness Matters!   Dana was so kind!  She thought of others and would do anything for a friend.  She was filled with gratitude and love.  The last thing she said to me on August 16th was, “Have a safe trip.” and “I love you”   We were leaving for Reno that weekend to drop our oldest off to college.  She remembered!  She made ME feel special even though these were her last days… thinking of others was her strength and she made all feel loved and appreciated in her presence.  


4.  Make daily choices to stay healthy!   Dana is the 3rd person very close to me that passed from cancer.   First, my mom in 2012, then Jim Belk in 2013 and now Dana in 2019.  I have known many others that have passed from this horrible disease but these 3 were closest to my heart.   Since loosing my mom in 2012 and watching her go through treatments, surgeries, tests, prescriptions, numerous appointments and scans for 10 years, this all made me take a closer look at my own health.  Yes!  Some cancers are genetic but the more studies that are being done, they are finding that 80% - 95% can be prevented with our lifestyle choices.  
I believe that I  can do so much more  to stay well and the choices we all make on a daily basis are either moving us towards disease or away from it.  


5.  Give Love!   I asked Dana what she wanted me to do for her 3 precious daughters.  She told me “Every time you see them, LOVE them.”  Yes Dana,  I WILL love them when I see them and I will give LOVE to all that I meet.   You see, we NEVER know what anyone else is going through.  Who are WE to judge?  I feel we are here to love, to forgive, to lend a hand, to have patience and grace for others.   May we all give more smiles, hugs, compliments and pure presence.  May we treat others with the same love and concern that we yearn for.  

May we go in peace to love and serve the world.   Amen
