About Me.
Hey! My name is Trina, and I am super excited about essential oils and how they have helped me both professionally and personally! I originally went to school for Athletic Training, and practiced professionally for almost 10 years, but now I teach Health and Human Anatomy and Physiology at a Title I high school just outside Atlanta, GA. When I'm not at work, I'm enjoying life with my wonderful husband and our two amazing children.
Coming from the perspective of an allied healthcare professional, educator, and mother, I was highly skeptical of the oils and aromatherapy in general. I did my research before I dived into Young Living essential oils. I have two young children and husband to care for, and I only allow the best for them.
Young Living IS the best for me and my family! I've curbed my appetite for snacking thanks to the citrus oils and Ningxia Red, I have more energy and patience thanks to Joy and Stress Away, I don't miss a day of work and the kids don't miss a day of school thanks to Thieves, my house smells great thanks to Purification, and we all sleep better thanks to Lavender. I've also discovered great recipes that have improved our health, our moods, our appearance, and saved us lots of money!
I can't wait to see what else I can use an oil for, and I invite you to join me in this oily journey so we can learn and gain better health and wellness together!
What are essential oils?
Essential oils are concentrated liquids extracted from aromatic plants. These natural oils protect plants from insects, environmental conditions, and disease. If you've ever squeezed a lemon or orange peel and seen the liquid that comes out--that's the essential oil. And when grown, harvested, and distilled properly, essential oils can have a wide array of uses and tremendous health benefits.
How do essential oils work?
The chemical properties of essential oils are such that they are able to cross the highly selective membranes of our body's cells and make an impact. When inhaled, the phenols from the essential oils travel rapidly from the olfactory receptors in the nose to the limbic system of the brain--the area directly connected to the parts that control heart rate, blood pressure, breathing, memory, stress levels, hormone balance, and emotions. The skin is also able to easily absorb essential oils to allow them into the bloodstream so they can reach every cell in the body!
Why Young Living?
Young Living has been in business since 1993 and is the only company to offer a Seed To Seal Guarantee to ensure the highest quality of essential oils.
Personally, I chose Young Living because I noticed their products had an effect on me and my family whereas less expensive brands did not (lavender candles smell pretty, but they have never actually helped me relax). Also, I find the support available through the company and my own network to be outstanding and readily available. Finally, the no-strings-attached approach to wholesale membership along with the warranties and return policy put my mind at ease when making my purchases.
