Hey! I’m Sam!
I’m a southern girl thriving in Colorado with a passion for health, wellness and essential oils.
I started my health journey a few years ago and after much trial and error, discovered small steps create lifelong changes.
I became a wellness advocate with dōTERRA and embraced a non toxic lifestyle and became a holistic health coach through the Institute for Integrative Nutrition.
I am so excited you found your way here because…

My Journey so far...
A few years ago if you said I was going to be a holistic health coach and live a natural lifestyle I probably would have called you crazy and laughed. Seriously though, most people that meet me now think that I have lived like this my whole life and I definitely have not.
My journey has been a journey- haha. I was born and raised in East Tennessee and lived on biscuits and gravy, steak and gravy and always had dessert after dinner. I went through the healthy phases, but I always went back to my old habits. I always wondered what being healthy really was. I was giving up my favorite foods and it felt like I was giving up all I’d known.
And working out? Heck no. I was not a fan of going to a gym- I tried so hard to be though, and even worked at one at one point. It just seemed like a chore to me and all the pressure of eating a good diet on top of working out was just so stressful, for something that was meant to relieve stress.
It took years and moving across the country for me to find a nice balance (drastic, right?). It sounds crazy, but it’s true. When I moved to Arizona I started hiking and exploring, so I was moving my body in a way that brought me joy! Good bye gym! I also started experimenting with food and found a healthy twist to making my favorite meals and sweets! I have a black bean brownie recipe that will knock your socks off!
I have a passion for the outdoors and love to maintain this lifestyle while traveling. I have enjoyed some incredible meals, that most people would pay top dollar for, in the middle of a forest cooked on the tailgate of a truck. For real though, my journey has been rad, and the best part it’s still going!

Divine Timing 11:11
June threw some massive curve balls my way. I found myself out of a job, relationship and had to find a new place to live. I was heartbroken and confused but I told myself everything happens for a reason. I knew I was in store for something great I just had to stay open and believe that everything would fall into place for me. I’m a firm believer in the fact that you can’t control every situation but you can control how you react to those situations.
Veggie Tales
I didn’t eat vegetables until my early 20’s. No joke! And to top it off, I had to sneak them into smoothies like a child because greens have always been “ew” to me. My earliest memories of eating healthy food are pretty comical, looking back on them now. I...
Go Outside!
I’ve had a passion for the outdoors since I was a kid. I am the only granddaughter in my family, so I was always dirty and roughhousing with my older cousins. This drove my grandmother nuts. She was a hair dresser and loved to try to dress me up. I was almost always...
Let’s dō this

What if I told you everything you were using on your body could either be beneficial or harmful to your health? Have you heard the phrase, “what goes on your body goes in your body?”. I used to think if something was on the shelf of the grocery store or at a pharmacy it had to be good for me because they wouldn’t put out products that would harm us, right? Wrong.
Let’s talk about essential oils, did you know it only takes 10% pure oil to have a 100% pure and natural label on an essential oil bottle? Mind blown, right? Don’t panic- I’ve been where you are. Through a lot of research, I have discovered a lot of brands that I loved and trusted were actually harmful to my health. Don’t believe me? That’s ok, I was that way also until I really educated myself.
First off, everyone should watch the Netflix documentary “Stink” and download the app Think Dirty. Go scan your everyday products in your home, read about the chemicals that you can’t pronounce and learn about what you’re using in your home.
I used to get sick MULTIPLE times a year, take naps every day, I was depressed until I decided enough was enough. Once I embraced a non- toxic lifestyle you would not believe the benefits I began seeing in my health.
I haven’t been sick, I have more energy, better skin and I’m reducing my impact on the environment by making my own cleaning products! I switched my household products for natural solutions from dōTERRA such as, deodorant, shampoo, laundry detergent, hand soap, etc.
The best part, you can too. When you enroll with me you will receive a free wellness consultation, incredible recourses, access to our private team website, facebook group and ongoing support. My goal is to empower you and make your transition simple, sustainable and fun!
