Hailey & Jeremy Aliff
Louisiana, USA
Whether it’s through Hailey’s career as a midwife, or Jeremy’s passion to help people become financially independent, the Aliffs are able to combine their strengths with Young Living in order to motivate others and succeed in life.Before joining Young Living, Hailey remembers feeling burnt out in her job. “I didn’t have the freedom that I do now to [assist in] births at a healthy rate,” she says. One of their biggest dreams after getting married was to be debt-free in order to give back without reserve. “We’ve always had the hearts to give,” Jeremy says, “but didn’t have the means to do it until now.” Several of their family members have also joined Young Living, and they continue to form new relationships with people across the globe through their travels. “This is a purpose-driven company,” Hailey says. “It’s all about inviting people to come and change their lives for the better.” As world explorers and advocates for health and wellness, Hailey and Jeremy love the freedom and purpose they have found in Young Living. |

Heather & John Brock
California, USA
Heather and John Brock were introduced to Young Living when a friend gave them a generous gift of essential oils at a difficult time in their lives. Heather was grateful for her friend’s kindness, but she was unaware of the role the oils would play in her life.
It wasn’t until two years later, when Heather was able to take a class from her friend, that she had a dramatic experience with the oils. She was then determined to use and share Young Living’s products and says she told her husband: “We are doing this thing.” She didn’t know a lot about oils, but she started teaching others right away. John, in turn, supported and cared for their children, while Heather taught classes in their home. When they reached Silver, they were ready to push for major growth.
The Brocks now enjoy peace of mind, thanks to their financial successes with Young Living and a harsh chemical-free and healthy home environment. Heather believes that no family should be compelled to live unhealthily due to financial limitations. She and John are grateful for the freedom they now have as parents to say yes to healthy choices, no matter the price.

Courtney & John Critz
Texas, USA
At a young age, Courtney Critz learned from her mother that individual health and the health of her family were her responsibility. When Courtney first experienced Young Living essential oils, she initially loved the convenience and simplicity of the oils in helping her with that responsibility. But it wasn’t until she had a dramatic experience with NingXia Red that she felt prompted to share Young Living with her family and friends.
As a loyal leader, Courtney spends her time focused on people. She measures her success not by how much she does, but by the love she shows to God, family, friends, and strangers. “People matter more to me,” she says, “than what I’m trying to get done.” Her husband John uses his skills in technology to work with Courtney as they teach their teams. She is passionate about freedom—financial freedom, time freedom, and emotional freedom.
At home, Courtney is a stay-at-home mom who loves teaching their seven children. Her background before Young Living includes Children’s Ministry.

Vijay & Ulrike Churfuerst Hanzal
Austria
After a friend, Dr. Prakama Hauser, MD, shared her experience with Young Living products in 2001, Vijay and Ulrike explored Young Living’s essential oils for themselves and fell in love with them. Though Young Living wasn’t yet in Europe, they became passionate about bringing the products there. This decision was the beginning of a new life for the pair.
Vijay and Ulli have been an instrumental part of Young Living’s growth in Europe, supporting Young Living with translations, customer testimonials, and doing anything else they could to support the market. At the same time, they built their own Young Living business.
“We have learned that we are able to inspire people,” they say. “This is easy because we are 100 percent convinced about the Young Living products and the direct-selling method.”

Kathy Farmer & Mark McCaskill
Colorado, USA
As a master herbalist and meditation instructor, Kathy always felt passionate about helping people emotionally, physically, and spiritually. With Young Living, she finally found a career where these passions coincided.
Her husband, Mark—who she met through Young Living—and their children, all share in their love for the products and the career opportunities. “We live the Young Living lifestyle.” She says. “I look at people who are chronologically younger, but they have given up on being young. Young Living is not just a company, it’s an affirmation. There are no limits to what you can do if you give your body what it needs.”
Not only does Kathy feel passionate about her own health, but loves teaching and assisting others. “My husband and I were recently in Australia.” She says. “No matter where we go, we’re home…because of the friends we have all over the world.”
After her own personal tragedy when her son ended his life, Kathy and Mark created a nonprofit group called “A Shining Light” to spread suicide awareness. “We all want to improve the world. That’s the most important thing humans can do.” She says.

Alyssa & Troy Francis
Texas, USA
When Alyssa Francis started researching alternatives for harsh cleaning chemicals in 2010, she didn’t realize that the potential of essential oils extended beyond her countertops. “All I knew about essential oils,” she says, “is that they smelled good and that they could be used to clean my house.” After taking a class from a Young Living leader, she embraced the lifestyle, saying that Young Living’s essential oils were the missing piece in her wellness journey, a journey that has altered the course of her life. “Everything has changed. My life has been turned upside down.”
Alyssa’s husband, Troy, has always been her encourager and cheerleader and now works alongside her, taking care of the daily paperwork and finances. She describes him as a “quiet warrior.” Alyssa’s experiences with Young Living have inspired further lifestyle changes, which include working from home with her husband and taking care of her physical body.
Only a few years after working with Young Living, Alyssa realized that working behind the computer for long hours was causing her physical health to decline. “I wasn’t making my physical health my priority,” she explains. She’s been on a fitness journey over the past year, using essential oils to support her workouts. She has a love affair with Valor®. “It makes me feel like Superwoman,” she says.

Frances Fuller
Singapore
With a strong passion for helping others, Frances truly captures the message of service that encompasses Young Living. This desire began as she learned more about her personal health and became aware of her own unique influence.
“I had absolutely no interest in having a business.” She explains. “However, my next door neighbor had an amazing experience when I shared the oils with her. I suddenly realized that by keeping the information to myself, I was depriving others.”
Frances went on to be the first to expand Young Living’s influence in Asia, beginning her work in Singapore. “As the numbers grew, I began to understand my greatest strength of all—growing people.” She says. “When others learn to believe in themselves, incredible things happen. This is what inspires me everyday: the opportunity to see dreams form right before my eyes.”
She soon after led her entire team onstage at a Young Living Convention to celebrate their status as the first Asian Diamond team. This experience is treasured today as a beloved memory. “My favorite quote is by John Quincy Adams,” Frances says, “If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more, and become more, you are a leader.”

Carol Yeh-Garner & Scott Garner
California, USA
When Carol Yeh-Garner bought her starter kit in October 2013, she had no plans of starting a Young Living business; but she loved the oils and diffuser so much that she started sharing her story, and her business organically grew. She found success in almost no time, and she reached Silver in less than 3 months, Diamond in 11, and Royal Crown Diamond in 27.
In 2015 Carol’s husband, Scott, retired from his job as a teacher and began helping Carol with the thriving essential oils business.
Carol’s business-building approach focuses on helping others fall in love with their essential oils and building their business in a personable, natural way. Her experience in clinical social work and hypnotherapy have helped her support her team and replicate her success. She’s shared her insights as a speaker at Young Living’s International Grand Convention and at many other business events.
Carol and Scott live in Carlsbad, California, with their two kids and their dog. Together, they have traveled to Young Living farms around the world and are very excited about working to create a legacy for their family.

Adam & Vanessa Green
Canada
This couple has experienced opportunities and adventures to last a lifetime, and they greatly attribute their successes to Young Living. “With the freedom we have in our career, we can support causes close to our hearts.” Adam says. “We travel the world together and live life to our fullest potentials.”
As many Young Living members have found, both Adam and Vanessa agree that one of the greatest blessings of this business is reaching out to others. “I enjoy having a purpose greater than myself.” Adam explains. “Being able to solidify my financial future—my legacy—while assisting others to do the same seems like a dream job.”
Financial independence began as a goal for Adam long ago. “Growing up, I was very fiscally responsible.” He says. Not only did he pay for his own college degree, but also owned a house at 20, and paid off the mortgage by 25. “We want to continue helping others to become financially stable and free.” He says.
Adam and Vanessa continue to inspire anyone they come in contact with. “I have never felt a passion for a career like I have with Young Living.” Adam says. “It never feels like work when we are active out in the field, meeting members and families, and sharing our story.”

Carla and Bill Green like to spend their time exploring the great outdoors, traveling the world, and dancing every opportunity they get. Bill loves motorcycles and has even been known to motorcycle from their home in Alberta, Canada, to Salt Lake City to help raise funds for the Young Living Foundation. They are passionate about empowering others to, as they put it, “take charge of their health and find financial success.” While raising their four children, who also joined Young Living, Bill and Carla made the decision to always keep one parent home, no matter the financial sacrifices. Carla explains, “Knowing that our kids and other parents can use Young Living to stay at home is what makes my heart sing.” Helping others reach financial freedom is the Greens’ way of paying it forward. “We’ve always been giving people,” Bill says, “but with Young Living, we’re able to give so much more.” |
Lindsey & Evan Gremont
Texas, USA
Lindsey Gremont worked at IBM for 15 years doing corporate and IT strategy for very large companies, which taught her several valuable lessons about networking. Four years prior to joining Young Living, Lindsey created her Homemade Mommy blog because she loves sharing with others how to provide unprocessed, real food for their families.
After nine months of trying samples from her friends April Pointer and Jen Jordan, Lindsey enrolled with Young Living, though she was so busy with her corporate job and writing two books for her blog that she didn’t jump into the business with both feet. Three months later, she invested the time to try the oils for herself and verify that they helped her and her family. Only then did she start to share with others on her blog.
Lindsey had no idea what her potential would be with Young Living when she started. Once she hit Silver, she knew that she’d be able to reach Diamond rank shortly thereafter. According to Lindsey, “When I set my heart on something, I just do it, and it happens!”
Lindsey has been able to leave her corporate job for good and is glad that she’ll never have to work a day job again. Her husband, Evan, has now joined her business, and they feel tremendously blessed that Young Living came into their lives.

Dr. Marcella Vonn Harting & Jim Harting
Arizona, USA
As a Young Living member of 25 years, Marcella Vonn Harting has a deep love for the business. “Being an entrepreneur runs in the family,” Marcella explains. Her passion for learning is shown in her PhDs in integrated health and psychoneurology. “I could be in school my whole life,” she says. That sentiment carries over into everything she does, as seen in her email signature: “Live with passion.”
Not only has she enjoyed achieving dreams and goals through Young Living, but she is now motivated most by helping others do the same. “I believe in people before they believe in themselves,” she says, “Serving others lights me up.” Marcella goes on to share that her happiness is a choice and a reflection of her life. “I don’t know how you could be where I am in this company and not be happy,” she says. “I wake up in the morning and know I’m making a difference. If God took me today, I would have no regrets in my life because of the experiences I’ve had with Young Living.”

Max & Karen Hopkins
Oklahoma, USA
As partners in life and business, Max and Karen both agree their true success in Young Living began when they started working together. “Before Young Living, I was at a time in my life when I felt I’d failed at everything.” Karen says, “But Max always believed in me and supported me.”
Max goes on to say that, “Karen is my greatest influence. Whatever it takes for her to get somewhere and share about Young Living, she will. She’s my hero.”
They have also greatly enjoyed being involved with the details of the Seed to Seal process. “We’ve been to 7 of the global farms and worked in each one. I’ve planted seeds, cut, harvested, and sealed the bottles myself.” Max says.
Karen explains how Young Living was never about the money. “Abundance to us is never being limited in our ability to give. That is what Young Living offers us.” She also takes inspiration from a prayer given by her mother. “When my mom was going to lose me six months into the pregnancy, she dedicated me to God. Knowing that motivates me to succeed.” Karen says.
Max and Karen have shared 44 years in marriage. Their greatest treasures include their three children and seven grandchildren.

Carol & Ben Howden
Canada
Carol and Ben, who spend most of their home time in a small town on Vancouver Island, say their favorite part about working with Young Living is being able to help improve the quality of life for someone else. Carol goes on to say, “I love seeing when people have that ‘light bulb moment’ as they advance in their personal development.”
Young Living products aren’t the only change that this business brought to the Howdens. Carol says that in the past she was a shy, introverted person. “Then I discovered that when you care more than you fear, you speak up,” she says. “I have no doubts about what I’m sharing, and the reward is always far greater than any fear.”
Carol and Ben agree that Young Living has provided them with a wonderful, fulfilling life. “We love to travel, experience other cultures, and spend time with family.” Because of their experiences with this business and its people, Carol says, “Our lives will be forever changed, and we remain forever grateful.”

Sera & Darren Johnson
Texas, USA
Sera Johnson hadn’t thought much about essential oils until she saw a picture of Gary Young on a tractor at a Young Living farm. “It really gripped my heart,” she says, and it inspired her to become involved with Young Living Essential Oils. While she didn’t always have an interest in products derived from nature, once she opened the first essential oil from her starter kit, she knew it was too good to not share. She remembers thinking, “How selfish that would be—to keep this to myself.” It was this initial interaction with Young Living that drove Sera to begin her business. Through a desire to be more intentional and to empower the people around her, Sera’s business continued to grow exponentially.
Now, Sera and her husband, Darren, work together on the business. Darren is the behind-the-scenes tech guy, while Sera builds and supports her team. Together, they balance running the business with homeschooling their children and traveling. While Darren loves four-wheeling, Sera enjoys discovering local farm-to-table restaurants on her travels and relaxing at the spa. Their family loves living out their dream of supporting ministries and charities and blessing the lives of others abundantly.

Gregg and Carol Johnson have been faithful Young Living product users for nearly 24 years. Their journey began when they were introduced to a Young Living Essential 7™ kit in 1993. After Carol found Lavender soothing to her dry skin, she started to believe in the power of oils and experimented with other uses.
Carol says, “Today our home is filled with Young Living products, from toothpaste to diffusers. We love traveling to share the oils and tell others how Young Living has changed our lives.” Gregg adds, “How grateful we are for the healthier and happier lifestyle that we enjoy because of Young Living.”

Jen & Adaryll Jordan
Kentucky, USA
Growing up, Jen Jordan knew she wanted to be a doctor, but on her way to getting a degree, she realized that she didn’t want the lifestyle associated with the health care industry. In her words, she “handed her dream over to God,” and when a husband and then three children came into her life, she felt her decision was confirmed, and her role as a wife and mother took priority. “This was it. This is what I was made for,” she says. Today she helps others become “their own health advocates,” and she feels certain that God prepared her for this role through her education and experience. “I feel like Young Living handed my dream back to me,” she says.
Jen’s experience with oils began around 2009, when her sister, April Pointer, who is also a Royal Crown Diamond, introduced her to Young Living. Jen relates that her initial response was not a positive one: “I thought she was crazy!” she says. Jen started using oils two years later, but then only as a “closet oiler,” despite the fact that essential oils changed her life. She reluctantly taught her first class, thinking that the attendees would just “go away” after listening. Of course, that didn’t happen.
With a life motto of “Love God; love people,” Jen has built her business around encouraging, empowering, and building others up. She explains that she is “continuing a culture of positivity” in the lives of the leaders she works with. Jen and her husband are inspired to continue that generosity with those they meet in everyday life.
Growing up, Jen Jordan knew she wanted to be a doctor, but on her way to getting a degree, she realized that she didn’t want the lifestyle associated with the health care industry. In her words, she “handed her dream over to God,” and when a husband and then three children came into her life, she felt her decision was confirmed, and her role as a wife and mother took priority. “This was it. This is what I was made for,” she says. Today she helps others become “their own health advocates,” and she feels certain that God prepared her for this role through her education and experience. “I feel like Young Living handed my dream back to me,” she says.

Gretchen King-Ann
Hong Kong
Gretchen King-Ann’s first experience with Young Living was when she used PanAway® during her pregnancy with her daughter, though she set the oils aside for another seven months before using them again with her daughter. But the more she used them, the more she wanted to share. “As I started to use more oils,” she says, “I gained more confidence with them and started sharing with my friends whenever I saw a need.”
Gretchen loves Lavender essential oil and calls it a multipurpose oil—one that she would never be without. She is inspired by the quality and integrity of Young Living’s oils and the Seed to Seal® promise, which earned her trust and has given her products she can believe in. Gretchen continues her journey with Young Living because she wants to encourage and teach others. “I want…to serve my friends and family and my downlines, so that they can live a life with wellness, purpose, and abundance.” She values integrity and hard work above all in leadership.
When asked about current challenges in her life, Gretchen relates that there is a time and a place for social media, and she strives to achieve balance—which isn’t easy. Her husband, Andy, has helped her set specific times aside during her day for social media, as well as times to set down her phone. It may be difficult, but Gretchen sees it as an opportunity for growth. “I’m still perfecting this skill, but I am getting there.”

Mark & Melissa Koehler
Oregon, USA
In 2013 Melissa Koehler was pregnant with her third child and wondered where she would find time to devote to her photography business. She had spent nine years building it through blogs and social media, but her husband traveled for work, and with three babies at home, she thought she would have to put her dreams aside. During this time, her friend Lindsay Moreno introduced her to Young Living essential oils. Melissa was thrilled to try them and shared them through her social media outlets.
For two months she received messages from friends and acquaintances about the oils, which she answered privately, but she didn’t pursue the business publicly until she knew that working with Young Living would allow her to continue her professional dreams and potentially free up her husband’s time. Melissa, along with her husband, Mark, work together from home now, and Melissa enjoys working on her photography on the side.
Melissa finds inspiration in helping women build successful businesses and relating to them through her own story. “It brings me so much joy to do that,” she explains. Her joy comes with challenges though, and she occasionally struggles to believe in herself. Melissa finds it helpful to seek out others for affirmation and support when she is struggling the most and says that she can overcome. “I’m always going to be working on that,” she says.

Zach & Kari Lewis
Oregon, USA
Kari Lewis fell in love with her starter kit the moment she opened it in 2014, and has shared the goodness of essential oils ever since. Not long after her introduction, she realized growing a business with Young Living would be a worthwhile investment of her time. She recalls asking herself the question, “Why not?” and dedicated her time and energy to what she describes as a “beautiful whirlwind.” Kari enjoys working alongside her best friends and making new friends through her work with Young Living, and she is grateful for the opportunity her husband now has to spend more time at home with her and their children.
Despite their fierce dedication to growing with Young Living, Kari and Zach make time for their relationships first: dating each other, spending time with their children, and going on adventures. Kari finds inspiration in the people around her and the adventures she takes. Before Young Living, Kari was a couples photographer, photographing couples in all stages of life—from dating, to engagement, to fifty years of marriage.
Kari and Zach are foster parents, and have a passion for the role they play in the lives of the kids they take in. “I am who I am today because of the children that have looked to me as mom, and the way that God has shown me how much He loves and cares deeply for each of us,” says Kari. She loves exploring outdoors and taking her children for walks. Kari and Zach have two children, a boy and girl, and a miniature schnauzer named Cece.

Fiona Lui
Hong Kong
When Fiona was first introduced to essential oils through her neighbor, Angela Wong, she never imagined the success that would follow. In two years’ time, Fiona has grown her Young Living business from home and attained the rank of Crown Diamond. “Now my goal is to help others find health and success like I have,” she says. In 2016, Fiona joined other international executives and leaders for an expedition to Hawaii to learn about her favorite oil, Royal Hawaiian Sandalwood. They explored the sites where sandalwood is grown and harvested from rich volcanic soil. “It was an exciting experience to witness with our own eyes the Seed to Seal process,” Fiona says. “I watched how the best sandalwood is selected for harvesting and distillation, and came away with an increased belief that these products transform lives.” Through sharing with others and learning from personal experience, Fiona continues to be inspired by the Young Living products and the selfless culture of the business. “By giving unconditionally, God provides us with more than we ever expected,” she says. |

Stacie & Todd Malkus
California, USA
As a mechanical engineer and later as a graphic designer, Stacie Malkus realized that she was missing her “bigger purpose,” one she found when she began sharing Young Living products with family and friends. While reluctant to become part of a direct sales company, Stacie had an experience that changed her mind about sharing. “After having an incredible success with Lavender oil for my toddler, I realized that every mom I knew needed these oils,” she explains. From there, Stacie found a passion in her purpose to help others “live healthier lives, use products free of toxins, and ask the right questions” about their health. “I constantly share about this being the best job ever,” she explains, and she loves that she works with friends and gets paid for it. On her role as a leader, Stacie says when she started, she just wanted to help people. “I’ve had to slowly learn leadership skills so that I could truly help people and make an impact on so many.” |
Connie Marie McDanel
Minnesota, USA
Connie Marie McDanel is on a mission to help as many women as possible by teaching the importance of creating a financial back-up plan for life’s unexpected circumstances. Raised by entrepreneurial parents who owned a successful agate wholesaling business, she learned important lessons at a young age about customer relationships and looking at the big picture to maintain a successful company.
Growing up on a hobby farm, she dedicated herself to her horses and later become a 14-time saddle winner in the North Dakota rodeo circuit. In the 1980s, she was instrumental in achieving equal pay for women athletes in the North Dakota Rodeo Association and other state associations. Connie was featured nationally in an Associated Press article by Will Grimsley that highlighted women in sports. She also made a talk show appearance with TV game show host Gene Rayburn in New York City.
Now residing in Minnesota, Connie has a love of preservation and protection of our land and natural resources, which she says drew her to Young Living in 1998. A company that values and respects sustainability and preservation of nature, Young Living inspired her to educate her community about the importance of creating a healing home and the ability to lead others in creating their own entrepreneurial empires. She now leads a group of over 100,000 members in 24 countries and continues to personally mentor those who share the passion to get essential oils into every home. She wants all Young Living leaders to know that though this journey will challenge you, it pays to be brave!

Jeremiah & Monique McLean
Alabama, USA
For both Jeremiah and Monique, faith and family are what matter most. Previous to finding Young Living, they experienced setbacks with other business ventures. “Things crashed and burned.” Monique says. “When I decided to go into business with Young Living, we wanted to make sure our priorities were in line.”
Through the trials and errors, they agree that there are great lessons to be learned from mistakes. “My goal now is to do everything with excellence and put God first. When you do that, it pays off.” Monique says.
In many ways, Young Living has not only reset their priorities, but also helped previous dreams to be realized. “Through this business, I can combine my greatest passions into one.” Monique explains. “Before—when I worked as a nurse—I was unsure of myself because I wasn’t using my gifts and talents.”
Spending quality family time every day and being relieved of financial burdens add to the list of benefits they now experience through Young Living. What inspires them now is helping others. “I take every opportunity to point people to God.” Monique says. “We want to help others to find their sparkle.”

Wendy Renee Mercure
Florida, USA
Wendy Mercure started working at age 13 and hasn’t stopped since. Whether flipping burgers, piercing ears, brewing and serving coffee, attending flights, or teaching eighth graders, she’s worked hard—but always under someone else's thumb. All of that changed, however, with the launch of her Young Living business. “When I teach people how to live a harsh chemical-free life,” she explains, “it's based on my curriculum, my handouts, and my dumb jokes. I dig it.” The most significant change, though, came when her husband, Tyson, quit his job, which he was free to do, thanks to the Young Living business. “After years of deployments and long days in school, my boys finally have their dad back,” Wendy says. Being a catalyst for change brings excitement to Wendy’s life. “I used to say that working for Young Living is like winning the lottery, but it’s better than that,” she says. “Either would financially give me more than I ever dreamed, but only Young Living could give me such a full heart.” |

Jodie Meschuk
California, USA
Jodie Meschuk is a mom to one girl and two boys and is married to a successful football coach. A Southern California native, she is a certified yoga instructor who majored in sports medicine. Her “lightbulb moment” of increased health awareness came as a result of her son’s challenges as a baby. According to Jodie, some of her family’s lifestyle changes include “taking time for stillness and meditation and experiencing the power the oils have on the emotional brain.” Jodie says she is a stronger, more present and intentional leader as a result. “I’ve been given the opportunity to face my fears head-on and own who I am and what I can offer the world,” she explains. By choosing to be present and find happiness right where she’s at, Jodie is able to use her ability to connect with others to fuel her business and her life. When she’s not empowering others through Young Living, she loves being “snuggled up with family, a good movie, and a cup of tea.” |
Lindsay Teague & Michael Moreno
Colorado, USA
Lindsay Moreno’s maternal family line left her the legacy of an entrepreneurial spirit. Her mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother owned their own businesses. When Lindsay graduated from Arizona State University, she embraced her legacy through freelance scrapbooking, designing products, and publishing her work in magazines. But pressure to have an “adult” career landed her working in sales trainings for the University of Phoenix and prompted her to enroll in a graduate school program offering a Master’s degree in organizational psychology. She intended to teach online classes as a faculty member.
Lindsay was introduced to Young Living in 2013 through social media. She started using the products because she loved them and gave her membership number to inquiring friends so they could sign up. But Lindsay did not want to get involved with a direct sales company. One night she woke up from a deep sleep and realized that her dream of being an entrepreneur could be easily realized through Young Living. “This business literally chased me down the road for two months,” she says, “What would happen if I pursued it?” This moment in time was her turning point and one she calls her “come to God” moment. “I had this idea to brand a team that was unlike any other team…young and fresh.” She felt there was a place for the “young mom” demographic in this organization and wanted to provide that. In 2014 her husband left his job as a college president to take care of the back-end of the business.
Lindsay enjoys traveling, scrapbooking, and photography. She also has a passion for starting businesses.

Melissa & Wayne Poepping
Minnesota, USA
While Melissa Poepping was first introduced to essential oils in 1998, it wasn’t until 2005—as she held her perfect newborn baby—that she realized the importance of using natural products to care for her family. Her passion for the products is unbounded, and she is grateful for what her experiences have brought to her personal life. Melissa says, “I started this journey so that I could have a chemical-free home for my kids, but what came with the journey was my ability to stay home and raise them.” Prior to Young Living, Melissa worked in the finance industry and even provided daycare in her own home for several years. She describes her movement into Young Living as a “leap of faith,” and she has since seen amazing results not only in her personal and financial life but in the lives of those around her. “Before I knew it, we were creating a movement in our community,” Melissa says. Melissa has three children with her husband, Wayne, and their family loves to drive four-wheelers, swim, and spend time together at their family cabin. |

April & Jay Pointer
Texas, USA
April Pointer holds a degree in science and nutrition, which she relied on as she personally researched Young Living’s essential oils in 2009, when she and her husband, Jay, purchased a single bottle of Thieves® for immune support. At first they both felt the oil was expensive, but they decided to use it anyway. “It turned us into believers,” April says of their experience. She researched more in the following weeks, and when her questions were finally satisfied, she knew that she needed to teach friends and family about essential oils.
Being a part of Young Living has given April and Jay the freedom to design a professional life that fits their personal life. Jay’s professional background is in digital media, and he provides all of the graphic design for their business and teaches classes with April. April says of Jay that, “He likes to empower others to find their best life and to give better meaning to their lives.”
April and Jay have stopped working merely for a paycheck. “Our purpose is to leave a legacy for our families, our leaders and their families, and our culture.” They are currently involved in funding several causes, including establishing water wells and funding campaigns that fight human trafficking.

Debra Raybern
Texas, USA
At the heart of Debra is faith, home, and family. Before joining Young Living, she taught classes from her home as a master herbalist. After searching for a simpler way for her students to incorporate herbs into everyday life, she was introduced to essential oils and eventually found her way to Young Living products.
What began as a fun hobby, however, quickly became a source for income. When Debra’s husband unexpectedly passed away from an aneurism, she was left as the sole provider for their young daughter. Not to mention, they were $165,000 in debt.
“Those first years as a single mom were my most difficult times.” Debra says. Her motto quickly became, “You cannot quit. You decide you want it, and you do it.”
Her dreams of becoming debt free and providing for her daughter are what inspire her now. “All of my goals and more have come to pass. What keeps me going now is the desire to help my members achieve the same level of success that I have enjoyed.” She says.
