Hannah Shanks
Hi there! I live in Kansas City, MO my husband of 5 years and our miniature schnauzer, Stella. I am a mommy-to-be and full time essential oil educator! I am a foodie and a coffee aficianado,and I love to exercise and read a good book! I started taking an interest in my health about 4 years ago, as I sought to change my lifestyle to a more natural way in order to lose 60 pounds. I became extremely passionate about nutrition, exercise, and was introduced to Young Living essential oils in 2013. They have changed our lives for the better! We are so thankful to have found effective alternatives for the toxic junk that is so commonplace in our world! My favorite oil is peppermint because it helps support our digestion, our respiratory systems, and it feels so good on sore muscles and aches!

My oily journey began the day after I miscarried our first child. In my research to find what went "wrong", I discovered information that led me to desire a toxic chemical free life. My use of Young Living Essential Oils didn't stop after my re-conception and pregnancy with our 8 month old son, Moses, but continued into my lifestyle including our food, cleaning products, & beauty and hygiene products. On a daily basis, besides sharing oils with everyone I meet, I enjoy doing crossfit with my husband, speed-folding notorious amounts of laundry while watching "friends", and changing diapers like it's going out of style! "Joy" is my favorite oil blend because it is powerfully effective in scaring the blues away!

Hi Everyone! My hubs and I live in Blue Springs, MO. We are delighted to be empty nesters but love our 3 kids and 6 grandkids. I love to write, read, and the arts. I have been told I have broad shoulders and that my gift is encouragement. I am a counselor and love to lend support to everyone. I have always looked to a more natural, clean, alternative way toward health. Being able to avoid many toxins and chemicals has helped me live a more pleasant, active lifestyle as I deal with Fibromylagia and other health issues. Over two years ago I was introduced to Young Living essential oils. I am so thankful for the opportunity to share how YL has helped me pursue overall wellness. Although it's very difficult to choose, I will say Thieves is my favorite oil blend. Along with the awesome aroma, it aides a healthy immune system! Stress Away is another oil that I use on a daily basis. It helps to induce relaxation & relieve nervous tension and promotes a calming effect...and who doesn't need that in today's world?
