My Story
I was inspired to start my Essential Oils business as a result of the success I've been experiencing using essential oils to help manage my own health, which created a desire to share that with others.
I teach people who are interested, how to use essential oils to get rid of toxins & support their physical & emotional health. I've chosen to do this because of the positive experience I've had managing my own health.
As part of the way my Cerebral Palsy affects me, I have circulation problems in my legs, which means they swell in summer & turn blue in winter, & because I don't have full feeling in my lower legs, I can't always tell what's going on. I also have nerve pain as the result of childhood surgery that went wrong.
I love educating people about the benefits of using essential oils in their daily lives.
As well as taking my Essential Oils business to the next level, I also work with people with disabilities & Health Conditions helping them access funding to help with the extra costs of working or studying.
Outside work I'm a member of three Toastmasters clubs & lead a Diversity & Inclusion Team for Toastmasters. I'm a member of a book groups as I love reading. I also enjoy cooking; listening to good music; catching up with family and friends; going to the park with my guide dog, and getting out on my walking bike to keep fit.
In 2016 I was named in the Queen’s Birthday Honours as a Member of the New Zealand Order of Merit for Services to People with Disabilities.
