\"\"Hi! I\u2019m Holly Draper.<\/strong> I lived in Italy for a year and a half after high school, I graduated from BYU, and then I started my family.\u00a0 My husband and I have 4 beautiful kids.<\/p>\n

My husband works in construction<\/strong> and having 4 young kids, believe me,\u00a0 we have our share of bumps, bruises, strains, sprains, ouchies, and sickies.<\/p>\n

My Mom was into herbs<\/strong>, being a lay midwife, and she always had something for us when we got hurt or sick. Probably because of my Mom\u2019s influence I have always been drawn to alternative healing methods.<\/p>\n

I used to go into the health food stores and just walk around<\/strong>.\u00a0 I knew some stuff about herbs, I think I just liked the smell of them.\u00a0 I remember looking at the bulk herbs and wishing I knew more about them.<\/p>\n

Finally I enrolled in the School of Natural Healing<\/strong> and started studying herbology. I was absolutely thrilled with what I was learning and I thought I found my niche in life.\u00a0 That is, until I attended an energy healing class in Salt Lake City and I was presented with Essential Oils.<\/p>\n

Time literally slowed down and I wondered, \u201cWhere have Essential Oils been all my life?!?\u201d <\/strong>I was blown away at what essential oils can do.\u00a0 I put aside my herbology studies and went started studying Essential Oils.\u00a0 Wow, they are so cool.\u00a0 Because they contain the intelligence of the plant they come from they have the ability to heal the body in unbelievable ways.\u00a0 They are distilled from the vital fluids and immune systems of the plants, where herbs (which are so great too) are made from the leaves, roots and flowers of plants. Essential oils have become my passion.<\/p>\n

I am now a Master Aromatherapist, and a Certified Aromatherapy Instructor, and also a\u00a0Medical Aromatherapist.<\/strong>\u00a0 I have traveled and extensively studied aromatherapy and essential oils.\u00a0\u00a0I am a perpetual student and love to learn.\u00a0 I have studied\u00a0various therapies, and various essential oil companies.<\/p>\n

I have also used essential oils extensively in my personal life.<\/strong> I have seen so much benefit and amazing results from using them that I believe more people need to know about the amazing power that essential oils have.\u00a0 That is why I\u2019ve created this blog.\u00a0 Essential Oils are way more that pleasant smelling aromas.\u00a0 They have the power to heal our bodies from just about anything.<\/p>\n

Wouldn\u2019t it be nice to be able to take charge of your own health?<\/strong> Not have to rely so much on whatever your MD tells you?\u00a0 I invite you to take a step in that direction and get some essential oils (the good ones!), and get to know what they can do for you.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Have a Great Day!!!<\/strong><\/p>\n
