Essential Oils Workshop 2017

Due to popular demand, I am excited to be running more essential oils workshops this year with colleague Lisa Wood. 

This workshop will focus on how to incorporate essential oils into your daily life and includes a “make and take” of 4 products!

From my last round of essential oil workshops I have an efolder full of testimonials on how essential oils have made radical changes in people’s lives:

“Soulla, you are amazing....your fast pace of innovative and quality goods and recommendations is overwhelming...we are loving it...and loving essential oils...have done away with soap and moisturiser...I just use body scrub we made at your place now ....I absolutely love it....many thanx. PS love the diffuser too..”

— Maria

“I LOVED Saturday’s workshop. I feel like I have been opened to a new world. Have already used most of the oils in the kit. And thank you for having me in your beautiful home”

— Melissa

I will never hang my hat on any one thing (as there never is one panacea), but since I started using Young Living essential oils daily over the past 2 years I have felt so much calmer, happier, and healthier. My emotions are more on an even keel with fewer lows. My skin is glowing like never before and my kids are so much more chilled out. There’s less fighting, yelling and screaming in my house. I have saved a heap of money on personal care products and household cleaning products that are now redundant. Good stuff, right?
