K
risten Pardue first became interested
in natural health four years ago when
she got through her health problems
by changing her diet and improving her
nutrition. Then, she found out through
social media about a class Mary Crimmins
was holding about babies and essential
oils. With a baby boy of her own, Kristen
was interested in how she could better
incorporate natural remedies into his
life as well. When Mary, who is also a
Diamond, shared her story, Kristen
was inspired by what the essential oils
could do for her and her family’s lives.
Kristen says that if Mary had actually
asked her to do the business, she
probably would’ve said no. Because
she was a dietitian, Kristen thinks Mary
must have assumed she would want to
get involved. Mary simply sat her down
for coffee, gave her a folder, and went
over the business side. Kristen came
home and told her husband, Eric,
“I think I’m doing this.”
Eric wasn’t happy about it at first, but as
Kristen’s business quickly grew he came to
see that dōTERRA was different from
other multilevel marketing companies.
Kristen quickly became passionate about
“I think one of my biggest roles
for Kristen is encouraging her,
being there for her, and helping
her understand that it’s a
process.” —Eric
