Lavender, a.k.a. the loving grandmother of essential oils, has a scent that's a wonderful blend of fresh, floral, clean, and calm. It's this dynamic aroma that has made the plant a classic for perfumes, soaps, fresheners, and beauty products!

Lavender is a great beginner oil and a must for every home. Lavender is also highly versatile -- from skin care products to relaxing routines, this oil can infuse and enhance many areas of your life!


Lavender Background
  • Lavender is part of the mint family and is one of Young Living's most popular oils
  • Young Living has three farms that grow lavender - Utah, Idaho, and France
  • It takes 27 square feet of lavender plants to make one 15 mL bottle of Lavender essential oil
  • You can find Lavender essential oil in many Young Living blends, including Stress Away, Tranquil, RutaVaLa, Forgiveness, and Harmony
Daily Habits with Lavender
Add Lavender to your relaxation routine...
  • Unwind in the evening with a calming, Lavender-infused neck or back massage. Feeling tense? Add a little Peppermint and Frankincense!
  • Use Lavender as part of a bedtime routine by rubbing it on the bottoms of your feet and diffusing it next to your bed.
  • Help little ones calm down for bedtime with gentle Lavender massage. Mix 1 Tbsp carrier oil with 5 drops Lavender and gently massage legs, arms, and back.
  • Add 10 drops of Lavender to 1 cup of magnesium flakes or epsom salt to a bath to create a relaxing environment. We also love adding Peace & Calming or Frankincense to the mix!
Add Lavender to your wellness routine...
  • Reach for Lavender to release tension.
  • Head On Roller: 20 drops Peppermint, Copaiba, Lavender, 10 drops Frankincense. Fill with V-6 carrier or carrier oil of choice and roll over temples, across the forehead, on the back of the neck and shoulders.
  • Use Lavender to support the airways when air quality is less than ideal:
    • Seasons Change Roller Blend: 15 drops each Lavender, Lemon, Peppermint, Tea Tree, Copaiba, then fill with carrier. Roll over the chest, wrists, just below the nostrils. This also makes a great combination for an epsom salt bath or a diffuser blend!
    • Add 5 drops each Lavender and Copaiba to 1 cup fine grain sea salt or organic salt and mineral solution and mix well. To use, dilute 1 tsp of mixture with 8-12 oz distilled water to make a DIY nasal rinse solution for use in a netipot.
    • Use a drop of Lavender Vitality under the tongue or swiped on the inside of the cheek.

Let's Connect!

 
Hi! I'm Yvonne: An almost 60 year old empty nester who lives #lifebydesign! 
Here's a little about me: I love plants, cookbooks, hot springs, crystals, estate sales and essential oils! I'm a rainbow seeker, Big Dream catcher and love to help people AGE IN PLACE, live their bucket lists NOW, and spend more time in nature. I'm really good at helping others shift their relationships with money to attract positive energy and abundance! I'm a semi-retired geriatric physical therapist with 30+ years of practical experiences and I love helping people create a healthy wellness cabinet and a healthy bank account! It's all figure-out-able!

Let's connect! I'd love to hear how you got to where you are and where your dreams have you thinking BIG! 

Everyone has a story. I'm also a story collector and have changed the ending of my story many many times! I'm here to tell you: You get to choose and create your story too!

Here's my story:
I wasn't always happy, healthy and able to feel comfortable in my own skin. Maybe you feel that way now or know someone who lives in struggle mode. Let me tell you--there's a way out! "Change it or Choose it" comes to mind.

If you had told me 25 years ago, or even 10 years ago that I would be healthier and happier than I ever imagined, I would have laughed in your face.  I was having lots of health issues (migraines, fertility issues, rashes, allergies, and memory/concentration struggles from going thru a windshield at 17 years of age!)  and working long hard hours trying to be the "perfect" wife, mom, daughter, friend, employee, soccer mom, den leader, volunteer EVERRRRR...and suffering through it all even though it looked like I had the best life from the outside. It took my doctor sitting me down and demanding that I change my lifestyle or be ready to be sick/unhealthy and on tons of pills for the rest of my life. It took almost 3 years of ditching things that I had grown up using/buying to switching to products that gave my over taxed and over stressed body a break! All the advice I was giving my patients about making better choices and listening to your body to age well hit me right between the eyes. it was a wake up call! We worked through every room of the house including under the sinks! She helped me create a wellness cabinet full of natural options accessible at all times without harmful side effects. I came out of my fog. I took back control of my life and our health. I started seeing a clear path to early retirement and better relationships with myself, my family and friends, and even money! 

Maybe YOU are one of many searching for answers. You KNOW there are better options for aging and your health that are effective, safe, simple, and easy to share with friends who are also searching. What I found in my wellness journey was so much more than I ever bargained for:  Energy, vibrancy, safe products, better sleep, lose of inflammation, better focus, better attitude, radiant skin, convenient solutions, money saving tips, a natural ingredient wellness cabinet, a financially sound future plus a community of people who are empowered to make changes. I am always ready to link arms as you pursue physical, emotional, spiritual, and financial freedom. 

Join me and find YOUR answers! Let's create your #lifebydesign!

My world revolves around having fun, eating delicious nutritious foods, meeting people, making new friends, recycling/repurposing, building community and connecting it all together! I'm a transplanted New Yorker/Californian empty nester with 2 grown sons and a bonus daughter and son (who are all amazing humans) and my 92 year old mom lives on her own in a great vibrant retirement community in Southern California.  Currently, I'm up in the glorious Pacific Northwest living in an art gallery home, which has the best view of Mt Hood,with my partner who is an artist and sculptor. We met through his daughter! (and that's another story for another time). Oh, and we have 2 rescue cats and soon some rescue chickens and geese! It's never a dull moment here on our little farm. We also run the non profit Embrace QI, whose mission is to help you reconnect to your vitality. All the events, retreats, gatherings and classes we do here are intended to do just that. Last year, we hosted 70 events: sound baths, flamenco shows, house concerts, seed swaps, book clubs, Raku firing of animal masks, DIY perfume/room spray classes, won ton making, mending circles, solstice celebrations and more! We are currently installing a wind phone in the greenhouse. (more on that soon).

Your reconnection to your true self...your aging and wellness, your WHEALTH~ are in your hands. Let me give you a hand to finding what works for you. Then you can pay it forward like I am doing....Cheers!
