Having the natural wellness resources you need for all the seasons and times of your life

One of my favorite wellness tools--

Pure Essential Oils for daily support

Despite loving nature and spending many years balancing the plush greenness in upstate New York with finding snippets of green life in New York City, I spent two decades working on Wall Street without knowing that nature, specifically plants in different forms, could help me deal with the daily stressors and hustle bustle of city life. I was clueless. But I was also younger so I would power through. If only I had known about the seemingly magical qualities plants give us through the gift of essential oils!  

If you have ever enjoyed the scent of a rose, you’ve experienced the aromatic qualities of essential oils. These natural aromatic compounds are found in the seeds, bark, stems, roots, flowers, and other parts of plants. Essential oils protect plants and give them their distinctive smells. In the same way, we can use them for protection and support--along with a wide range of emotional and physical wellness uses that provide us with natural options to use alongside traditional remedies. Having access to these plant allies has been a blessing and sharing their benefits so others can feel supported mentally, emotionally and physically brings me great joy. And it doesn't hurt that they smell wonderful!

                                                                                                                                                                                                                       
 
Scroll below to hear me share how the combination of three classic essential oils: Lavender, Lemon and Peppermint can provide a multitude of uses for you and your family. With just three oils you can clean your home naturally and support cleansing in your body, shift your emotions or the energy of your environment, and support many of the daily health issues that we deal with often. Definitely worth a listen!  

nature to the rescue

In my own health journey over the years as well as in my private acupuncture practice, I've come to appreciate the value of natural solutions. The more we can do that is both good for the earth and good for our bodies, the better! I use many tools: qigong, herbs, meditation, flower essences and essential oils, to name a few.  I use essential oils for various aspects of my life--Every. Single. Day. They have empowered me, my family and friends, with wellness solutions that are literally at our fingertips! I would love to teach you more about how to use them for your own wellness needs. Once I have some more details we can schedule a time to meet.

"As we walk this plant path and gather medicine from the heart of Nature, it begins to sprout and grow within us into a living inner forest where we ourselves become the medicine."

--Sajah Popham, Evolutionary Herbalism

Gifts of the earth in the form of essential oils, herbal remedies, and our nutritional sustenance; the plant kingdom graces us every day with vital keys to support lasting health, longevity, and happiness. One of the things I love most is sharing the wisdom of these gifts with others and watching their lives transform. x0 Karen

Hey, I'm Karen hand

Single mom. Acupuncturist. Herbalist. Essential Oil devotee. Former Wall Street boss lady. Small business owner. I've worn a lot of hats! And for the last two decades those roles have been enhanced significantly by having access to and knowledge of the plant kingdom's gifts of the earth--essential oils. Now I can't imagine my life without them.

One of my favorite and simplest essential oil options, especially for someone new to using oils, is to choose from what I call my OG trio: Peppermint, Lemon, and Lavender. Peppermint is what I call my "head-to-toe" oil that can support things like headaches, digestive upset, or helping when there is achiness in your body. Lemon is "sunshine in a bottle" and one of my first go-to's for cleansing, focus and brightening moods.  Lavender, aka the "swiss army knife of oils" has so many uses-- calming and relaxing the nervous system is what's it's best known for. 

I encourage you to listen to the audio >>>>>where I go into a bit more detail about the varied ways these three oils can help support you and your family's health. While it's most economical to come up with a made-for-you list of oils or products based on your personal wants and needs (just reach out and we'll get that done!) starting with the three OG can make sense too. And it's so easy. The doTERRA Beginner's Trio has all three of these super-helpful oils together at a discount so you can benefit from buying them together. They cover a lot of wellness territory-- I go into detail on each in the audio. And here's some cool news. For a limited time, doTERRA is offering a trio bundle that includes  a complimentary jar of veggie caps so you can DIY a capsule that supports seasonal allergies--more on seasonal allergy support in the audio! And of course feel free to reach out to me with any questions or to put together your special list. I love talking oils!

  The OG trio

   Lavender, Lemon, and Peppermint

“ I describe Karen as an angelic guide... When going through her energetic healing program, she never told me what to do, and instead gave me the space, tools, and resources to figure it out on my own.  I have a new love for myself I've never had before, navigating my life with courage, confidence, and authenticity.”

Crissy Freeman, From Mrs. to ME podcast host

Karen worked remotely on my 3 year old lab, Luna, after she broke her toe. With just one treatment, the vet told us Luna's healing time shortened from six to eight weeks to just four! I highly recommend Karen’s energy healing. She is very gifted, Luna and I are so grateful for the healing.

Heather Hummel Gallagher, award-winning novelist of  Call It Kismet (and several other novels) 

Karen calmed my fears about the whole "needles" thing the moment I walked into her beautiful office. The treatment was so relaxing. When I got off the table I felt like a kid again. I wish I had found Karen years ago--it would have saved a lot of pain and suffering and would have improved my life tenfold!

Karen’s healing energy and commitment towards finding what works best for each individual who seeks her help is commendable.  Karen was able to aid in easing my chronic pain from agonizing spinal fractures and all of the other unpleasant symptoms that accompanied it.  I will be forever grateful to this woman who has the heart of an angel.  I owe my continuing good health to her natural healing ways, her insights, and deep spiritual understanding of the whole picture.

be empowered with plant wisdom 

There's nothing more satisfying than having a problem come up and being able to reach for a quick solution without needing to ask anyone else. That's what having the blessing of plant wisdom, plant magic, through essential oils, herbs and flower remedies. Whether its an emotional issue, a spiritual or a physical ailment, these allies can support us in so many way. If only through calming our nervous system and in that way giving us more resilience to face what's happening, it's worth having access to them in our natural medicine cabinets!


Sourcing the best and helping the most 


You might just like the smell of oils and you might love digging into the science behind them. For me, it was about both quality and doing good in the world--so this idea of "sourcing the best and helping the most" went straight to my heart. It's really the main reason I continue to use doTERRA's oils predominantly in my life and acupuncture clinic. After truly vetting the company before switching from the one I was using, there was significant trust built learning about doTERRA's industry-leading, responsible sourcing practices. This means the oils I use and rely on, continue to have the highest levels of quality, purity, and sustainability. In addition, doTERRA is in partnerships with local growers around the globe through their Co-Impact Sourcing®. The heart-centered core of the company is evident through the doTERRA Healing Hands Foundation®, a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, that offers resources and tools to sourcing communities and many charitable organizations. Also, Healing Hands has come to the aid of many during various global natural disasters and crises over the last several years. 

It is certainly possible for me to find, maybe, a handful of worthy essential oil companies or artisans, where adulteration or inclusion of synthetic ingredients is not an issue.  Some of these sources I have used for oils or dilutions I can't get through doTERRA. However, I know that the combination of education for my customers, oil quality, sourcing practices and positive impact around the world is unmatched by any other company.

Please scroll down below and listen to me talk about three of the most versatile doTERRA essential oils, what I call "the three OG", and why having these three oils in your home can provide a multitude of support for the ins and outs of your day to day living.
