Well, some of us aren't, but a good deal of our team members are educated in holistic medicine, aromatherapy, and nurses. As for the rest of us who aren't medical professionals, I’d add “neither are pharmaceutical reps.” I think on the similarities often. Our technical title is advocate, promoting better health in an ongoing relationship with our customers. We have access to a number of resources that explain the science behind the supplements and oil blends. doTerra has a whole team of medical doctors and scientists who share their findings about their clinical work and studies. There are podcasts, interviews, articles (most are available to our customers too). We receive as much training as we're willing to take on as time allows.

 

In addition, we reference books that are regularly updated on the origin and capabilities of the many essential oils available. Finally, our teams regularly share testimonials, protocols for illnesses like Parkinson’s Disease, cancer, neuropathy, etcetera. Again, not instead of medical professionals and prescribed medication, but in conjunction. Here's our customer FB group where much of this is shared. It's open to anyone: Live Well. Live Free. Live Naturally.

 

Rather than referring to our services as direct sales, we prefer network marketing, for it’s our hope that as we make a difference in your health, without side effects, you’ll tell your friends, family, and coworkers. Over time, we continue to meet the changing health needs of you and your family. Our wellness consults happen face to face (sometimes that’s on zoom), and it feels good and true to have conversations at length about what natural health options a person might have.

 

You cannot build a partnership like this by doing an Internet search, putting items in an Amazon cart, or even by visiting a local health food store (although these places do sell doTerra products, at full price). Working with a wellness advocate, you get wholesale cost. Eventually, you can learn about doTerra’s Loyalty Rewards Program (accrue points for free product), and it is our hope the journey together continues for years to come.
