About Me

Welcome!

I’m so glad you are here! This site is a collaboration of my passions in life: animals, essential oils and being a widowed blogger. My goal is to help as many people as I can through education, support and community. 

Born and raised in Massachusetts, I have a Bachelor’s of Science in Biology with minors in psychology and chemistry from Salem University. My career started in 1998 at the New England Aquarium in Boston. I have also worked at the Navy Marine Mammal Program, Georgia Aquarium and I am now the Director of Animal Care for Gulfarium Marine Adventure Park.

In 2017, my father passed away and 4 months later my partner Clayton was rushed to the hospital with acute liver failure. I took care of him and worked full time for 8 months until he passed away on April 16, 2018. I was lost and in deep grief. My wellness had suffered greatly and my sister introduced me to Young Living essential oils. I began to see the supportive benefits of the products emotionally and physically. I was sidelined again with the financial struggles all widowed people face. I needed a second income and my love for oils began to provide that as I shared and my team grew. 

My goal for this page is to provide a home, a place of belonging for anyone searching. I want to inspire others to grab ahold of life in the face of adversity, to move forward and thrive. I share all my passions so the options are available for everybody.
