Welcome
When you find something you love, you can’t help but tell your friends. You tell them about your favorite restaurant, movie, or getting a great deal on a new pair of shoes.
I didn’t get into sharing because of the money. I got into sharing because I found something that truly changed my life, and I knew it could help you, too. Getting paid is just a perk, and I feel so blessed that I will be able to take care of my family by helping you.
I could have gone with any company, but I share about Young Living because of ALL the reasons I am about to share with you.

A Man on a Mission
“Necessity is the mother of invention."
When D. Gary Young found himself confined to a wheelchair with a prognosis that he would never walk again after a severe logging accident in 1973, Young Living was born, although this dream would not be fully realized until 21 years later.
After three suicide attempts, hitting rock bottom, feeling “disconnected from God, my family and the world”, and some “tough love” from his father, Gary resolved that “if it’s the last thing I do, I will get out of this bed, and I will walk and ride my horse again!”*
Friends, sometimes it is when we find ourselves at our weakest points in life that our greatest strengths are born.
This led Gary to explore different avenues of healing, grow his knowledge of herbs, reconnect with his Creator, travel the world to learn about the production, usage and application of essential oils, and bring his attention to the many other people also needing help.
Gary purchased farmland, planted crops, and built his own distillery. In 1994, along with his wife Mary, they began cultivating lavender, peppermint, melissa, clary sage, and many other herbs. He saw the need for top-quality essential oils, and he continued to grow and expand his knowledge, acreage, and technology. Coupled with Mary’s previous knowledge of the direct-selling industry, together they grew Young Living into the world leader in essential oils and wellness solutions.
Through all of the success (and failure), there is one thing that Gary and Mary never lost sight of . . . the people.

People Over Profit
Gary’s heart for people shows through in the development of the D. Gary Young, Young Living Foundation, which is committed to empowering individuals to achieve their potential and to defy limitations by providing wellness and education opportunities to underserved communities. Every penny donated goes directly to those in need because 100% of the administrative costs are covered by Young Living. Donating can be as simple as rounding up your order to the nearest dollar. Over 250,000 individuals have been impacted by the work of the Foundation.
Projects and Partners:
Young Living Academy, Ecuador - Built in 2009 by Gary and Mary Young, the academy educates students in grades pre-K through 12th, maintaining a 97% attendance rate and 100% of seniors graduating each year!
Rebuild Nepal - The Young Living Foundation rebuilt schools and homes in Yarsa, Nepal, after the devastating earthquake in 2015, and is still focused on restoration and rebuilding in Nepal today.
Hope For Justice - The focus of this mission is to end human trafficking and modern day slavery. With 10 fully funded Lighthouse Centers, children rescued from slavery have a safe place to heal, recover, and learn. The Shine Career School in Cambodia also provides those recovering with education and vocational training, gives them hope, and empowers them to follow their dreams.
Sole Hope - The primary focus of this mission is to help children and adults in Uganda become and remain jigger-free. Jiggers are parasitic insects that burrow into an individual’s feet and can cause life-threatening infections. Just by providing antibiotics and shoes, men, women, and children can live and remain jigger free.
Healing Faith Uganda - This organization provides malaria education, prevention, and treatment to rural villages. In Uganda, 42 children die each day from malaria, and for just $1, Healing Faith can test and treat a child with malaria.
You can donate to the Foundation as a general donation or you can donate to a specific project that sits heavy on your heart.

Products for your home
You are the gatekeeper of your home. You have the power to choose what you allow in. Americans can spend as much as 90% of their time indoors, so the fewer chemicals we allow into our home, the better.
Enter Thieves.
The At Home line of Young Living products is infused with the Thieves essential oil blend giving you safe and effective plant-based products that can replace all the conventional household cleaning products that you may be using. There is a safer alternative for every product in every room in your home.

Products for nutrition and wellness
True wellness starts from the inside out, and Young Living has a full line of products and supplements that provide optimal nutrition to work with your body to keep it above the wellness line.
Essential Oils - With more than 220 essential oil singles and blends (the most of any company out there), there truly is an oil for everything. Every aspect of your physical and emotional well-being can benefit from essential oils.
Ningxia Red - This powerful juice supplement is designed to energize, fortify, and revitalize the body and mind. It is jam-packed with antioxidants and supplies the body with an abundance of vitamins and minerals known to support a healthy body and various organ functions.
Slique (Weight management line) - I bet if you were to do a poll right now among your friends and ask them their #1 health goal, the majority would answer, “Lose weight.” #amIright?
Maintaining a healthy weight isn’t just about a number on the scale. It has so much more to do with how you feel. Slique products will help you support healthy weight management, keep you feeling fuller longer, and give your body the nutritional support it needs.
Supplements - In a perfect world, if we were eating a perfect diet, our bodies would be receiving all the nutrition needed simply from the foods we eat. Unfortunately, that is not the case. The Environmental Working Group found that more than 40 percent of adults have dietary intakes of vitamin A, C, D and E, calcium and magnesium below the average requirement for their age and gender.”* This is why you need to supplement.
Testing the absorption of Multigreens showed that 42% was absorbed in 24 hours. After adding essential oils to the formula, blood absorption increased to 64% in 30 minutes and 86% in one hour.** This means you are actually using more and eliminating less! Be sure you are getting the most out of your supplements by choosing those that are infused with essential oils, aka Young Living supplements.
