begging for a kit.
When the business opportunity was
presented to DeVola, she found it
appealing. She says, “It just blossomed
from there.” She started teaching classes
and traveling out of state, all while still
working full time. “It was really hard for
me to think that I went to college to be a
physical therapist and had all this training
only to turn away from that to do a direct
sales company.” Soon, she saw that
physical therapy and the essential oils
actually complement each other well.
Over time, DeVola started moving away
from her physical therapy job, going from
full time, to part time, to only coming in
as needed. She says, “Now, I’m able to
travel all over the U.S., helping caregivers
get educated on how to use essential oils
in every aspect, whether they’re a mom
caregiver or a hospital caregiver.”
