About Virginia

I am a wife, mother, and friend. John and I have been married 50 years. We have 5 wonderful children and 21 grandchildren from 24-3 years old. All are busy learning, growing, and helping others.

As we were raising them health problems came up. The needle, knife, and pills were not good options for us. This started with our oldest losing 1/3 of his birth weight due to not being able to nurse effectively in 1974. I did not know what was going on. He ended up in the hospital when he was only 14 days old. So I started reading books, asking lots of questions. I learned to cook better, have good nutrition, then use better supplements, how to use herbs. We lived in the southwest, southeast, northeast, and mid-atlantic states, moving over 13 times. I learned to find the local health food stores and asked lots of questions. Personally, I dealt with postpartum depression and PMS. Those things were not talked about as I was raising children. As I used herbs, implemented a good diet, and smart supplementation, everyone was healthy.

I also became a reflexologist in 2002, and a doTERRA wellness advocate in 2012. We needed a way to earn income and doTERRA was a good fit. I love helping people learn the 80/20 rule in health care. You can do 80% of the time with your own health care. These are learned skills. My free time is spent in giving service at church, gardening, perperving food, sewing, knitting, or other homemaking skills. I enjoy music by playing my cello and singing in the church choir. We love visiting our children and reading books. We have a dog to help us keep exercising. We enjoy walking in parks and forests. Each season of life has different health challenges. John slipped and fell several years ago and jammed his femur bone into his hip socket. We learned that he had no cartilage on this femur bone. So 3 months later he had a hip replacement. Because of the food and supplements he was using he was able to walk into the Dr. office 13 days carrying his cane after his hip was replaced. He has full use of his hip with no pain.

It is exciting to help others on their health journey. I continue to learn and am able to better help my doTERRA clients.
