citement of meeting Dr. Hill, the warmth of her soon
to be new sponsors, Daniel and Cristy Benitez, and
the noticeable difference in the quality of dōTERRA
essential oils, Riyo’s decision was made to enroll.
Initially, Riyo didn’t consider pursuing the business
opportunity. “I considered essential oils to be a tool
to heal people; healing others was my top priority,”
she points out. Although Riyo didn’t consciously
pursue the business aspect of dōTERRA, she
couldn’t help but share them with her friends. Many
of her fellow classmates, who came to America in
pursuit of economic opportunities, didn’t have the financial ability to pay for medical assistance, despite
their health issues. Many became very interested in
dōTERRA essential oils as they created a cheaper
alternative to expensive doctor visits.
The following year Riyo had the opportunity to return to Japan, taking with her this time a prized possession, her knowledge of dōTERRA essential oils.
As she saw the great joy essential oils brought into
her friends and families lives, a strong realization
hit Riyo. “I began to realize that I could provide my
friends, many of whom were housewives who contribute much to society and received little reward,
an opportunity to earn extra income.” Riyo realized
she could help those around her in more ways than
just one, she could help them find health solutions
and financial freedom. From that time forward, Riyo
began to passionately share both essential oils and
the dōTERRA business opportunity.
Today Riyo no longer struggles from the many health
issues that plagued her in her youth. Riyo says, “I
feel that through dōTERRA essential oils I am finally
able to reach my full potential.” She believes that
when you allow yourself to experience the benefits
of essential oils and your excitement increases, others around you will naturally have a desire to experience the same thing.
Just Keep Going

To those building their dōTERRA business, Riyo
offers the advice, “Don’t limit yourself, and do your
best. First, work on strengthening yourself and
letting your light shine, then help others to do the
same. Just keep going and never give up!” With such
a strong passion to help others reach their full potential, it is not surprising that Riyo is cherished and
respected by many.
