Working Together to Create Your Mama Tool-Kit

Hi Mama!

From before we even become parents our bodies and minds go through a lot, due to both hormonal and life changes, and we can feel overwhelmed by what we're experiencing. And then the baby arrives and we realize, it's only just begun. Have you been there?

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I spent many years working with families on best practices in parenting. Then I had my own kids, a set of boy/girl twins, and was in the depths of it all myself. Just two months after my kids were born I was introduced to essential oils and they ROCKED my world!! I remember wishing I'd had them as a tool to use with my clients because they would have made such an amazing difference for so many of the families I'd worked with. I can't go back in time, but I can make sure that the parents I work with in the future (plus my friends and those mamas I meet during the course of ....life) have access to the information and tools I've come to rely on so heavily these past years.

I'm so grateful for your time in filling out this survey as your answers will help guide me as I create "Your Mama Tool-Kit: a guide to behavior modifications and essential oils for better parenting," which will combine behavioral changes, for the child and parent both, as well as the use of essential oils to make a positive impact in your mama life. As a thank you for taking part in my survey, you'll receive a copy of my e-book for FREE! Yep, I appreciate you that much! So be sure to share a good email address below and know that I'll be in touch. 

I'm so looking forward to reading your experiences and hope we can connect again in the future!

Hugs to you, Mama!

* 9. Who shared this survey with you?

Thank you for the time you took to fill out this survey. I'm excited to see the results and to get a feel for what women perceive to be their biggest challenges during what is (for many women) such an important time in their lives. If you can't wait for the e-book to come out and know you're ready to jump into the world of essential oils, I'm here to help. And to give you a little help right off the bat, if you register for your own doTERRA account (here) with a Family Essentials and Beadlet Kit, Home Essentials Kit or a Natural Solutions Kit, I'll send you a mini Mama Tool-Kit for FREE! 

Your kit from doTERRA will start you off with some of the most commonly used oils to help you become the first line of defense in your home and your mini Mama Tool-Kit will give you some amazing oils tailored to your very specific needs. You'll get a 1 ounce Owie Spray (perfect for all those scrapes, bumps and bruises), plus your choice of  3 x 5 ml bottles of blends to help with with either sleep issues, bugs (this is a beautiful chemical-free bug spray for your body that is gentle enough for your littles), emotions (for the littles we call these tantrums, but make no mistake, even we bigs can use a little help managing our feelings), ears, immune support, attention issues, or even a blend for a calm mama. You'll also get a guide to using essential oils, as well as an app for your smart phone called droplii (an $8.99 value), to help you get started on the right foot. If you purchase a Natural Solutions Kit, you'll get all of that PLUS an amazing essential oil book called Essential Oils of the Earth (a $15.99 value). And, of course, you'll always finds lots of continuing education over at Twig and Blossoms and at Twig and Blossoms on Facebook.

Once you've registered with your own doTERRA wholesale account contact me here to let me know how old your child is and which blends you'd like in your kit (I'll use the shipping address you gave doTERRA when registering for your own account. If you'd like to use a different address, let me know). 

Once I've finished writing "Your Mama Tool-Kit: a guide to behavior modifications and essential oils for better parenting" I'll send you a copy via the email address you shared above.

on in-person or online classes, or to get a personal consultation to find out which essential oils will meet your immediate needs based on your current concerns. 

Enjoy your day and happy parenting!
