NEW dōTERRA DIAMONDS

The Joyful Journey

It was a lightning-through-the-body , goose-bump-raising moment when Tess Godfrey saw her friend ’ s Facebook post about essential oils . She says , “ I just knew I had to have the oils in my life . I didn ’ t need to smell or experience them to know that I was onto something very special .” Right away , Tess contacted her friend and signed up with a Home Essentials kit , and when her kit arrived , so had more goosebumps .

Tess had been familiar with essential oils for a long time , but she felt an instant connection with the dōTERRA oils that impressed her . When dōTERRA came into her life , Tess was already a natural health educator and owned a successful private naturopathy clinic where she practiced full-time as a Bioresonance Naturopath and Reconnective Healing Therapist . With such a busy schedule at the clinic , she had no intention of starting a dōTERRA business , but instead , used the oils extensively at home .
After Tess experienced many benefits of the oils at home with her family , she gradually began to use essential oils in her clinic and even handed out samples for her patients to try . Tess says , “ After 16 months of handing out samples and selling mostly retail to my patients , I realized I wasn ’ t doing them or myself any favors . That ’ s when I invited them to open a wholesale account and to take full responsibility for their dōTERRA use and education .”
This brought a new level of enjoyment to Tess ’ s life as she saw how the oils and business opportunity created healthier and happier people . She says , “ I am motivated by the amazing results and positive outcomes my family , my patients , and oil users around the world have experienced with these oils and supplements . I keep sharing because people become improved versions of themselves when they engage with essential oils . The oils facilitate life progress . I share because it brings me joy , and I am motivated by anything that makes me happy .”
Tess ’ s passion for the oils and her experience have touched many lives , including her family . Her two children , Keagan and Gené , use and share the oils on a regular basis , and her husband , Craig , even joined her in the business once he realized the wonderful opportunities that were available to them . Craig ’ s contribution to the business has been monumental . Aside from sharing business tasks such as trainings , team business calls , followups , one-on-ones , and workshops , Craig created a semi-automated business structure with IT integration , a website , and a Facebook support group that have helped drive the business forward .
Though both Tess and Craig continue to work full-time at their jobs , on top of their dōTERRA business , they have found that their busy life still flows in a connected and beautiful way that offers them great joy . Tess says , “ I am happier , healthier , and wealthier than ever before . I value the freedom to choose how I spend my day and who I would like to spend time with , to be creative , and to be inspired . It has brought me new friends and a new connection with my life-long partner . Craig and I have found in dōTERRA a shared passion and a shared vision . It has brought so much joy into our family , and we have been ‘ paying the gratitude forward ’ to others since the start of this journey . We are partners in sharing this joyfulness .”
