Hello and welcome! My name is Brittany Oates and I am so excited to share my essential oil journey with you! I have a passion for guiding women, mothers, and children along their path to health and happiness, and essential oils have provided me with a powerful tool to serve. It truly fills my cup!
First, a little about me… Being a mother has been the single most defining step in my life. I am a proud boy mama of two rambunctious, kind hearted toddlers, and my passion for helping mothers stems from the love I have for my babies and motherhood. Did you know the actual chemical makeup of your brain changes the moment you become a mother? The rewiring helps mothers become caregivers that provide for the most vulnerable members of their family… first. What a miracle! No wonder they say “motherhood changes you.” A little more later on how this impacted my interest in using essential oils, as a mama!
I am also the wife of a loving and devoted husband and father, the oldest of two daughters, and a certified Physician Assistant with a Master’s in Medicine. I believe my servant heart lead me to medicine at a very young age, and after graduating I worked in orthopedics for 5 years. However, shortly after finding out I was pregnant with our first child, my husband and I uprooted our lives, left the comforts and familiarity of the United States, and moved to Germany for my husband’s career. This also promptly halted my career as a Physician Assistant.
A month before moving to Germany my sister gifted me my first set of essential oils and a diffuser for Christmas. I was pregnant and wanted to make cleaner, less toxic choices for the baby. So, I ditched my beloved candles and opted for a diffuser; I threw out all the chemical household cleaners and wipes and chose greener cleaning; and I started using oils to keep my family healthy instead of running to the drugstore. I realized, all those chemicals were actually giving me migraines! If they affected me like that, I could absolutely not have my child crawling around and touching them!
For years, I’ve continued to learn about oils and now they are an integral part of how I parent and keep my entire family happy and well. Both of my boys struggle to sleep independently, and feel their emotions strongly. Did you know that oils can help with that? To help them unwind at night, I have a dreamy blend of oils that I swipe down their back, and my 3 year old knows that if he is upset he can ask for Vetiver, which I call his calming oil. He usually asks for it through teary eyes, but we always stop, apply the Vetiver together, and take deep breaths until he feels better and more in control. For me, that is everything.
Are you an exhausted mama who can’t turn her brain off at night? Are you overly stressed or dealing with anxious feelings? Under the weather? Have a little one suffering with tummy discomfort, skin irritations, or teething pain? Well… I probably have an oil for that! Hehe. But, in all sincerity, I would love to introduce you to something near to my heart, and see if we can find a natural solution for you and your family. I love helping people feel better. So, let me ask, what’s bothering you?
