Barb Free

A Journey to Wellness

After experiencing health challenges and misdiagnosis, Barb Free began her own journey back to health through nutrition and natural solutions. Now, this has led her to educating and sharing knowledge to help others on their own wellness journeys.

Hello. I’m Barb Free and my passion is “connecting you to your innate ability to heal from within”. I use Young Living Essential Oils products and unique techniques to assist in restoring inner balance.

I am a mum to a beautiful and clever 10-year-old daughter and have quite a varied background, growing up on a farm and still living in a rural area. I have been a jack of all trades from starting out in hospitality and retail to real estate agent, to running 10,000 sheep on stock routes and contract harvesting, operating our own harvesting machinery.

I was introduced to Young Living Essential Oils by a favourite relative who simply asked me if I liked essential oils. On replying yes, she then asked. "If the oil was better than a well-known brand, would you be interested?” One smell told me that Young Living made high-quality essential oils, and I joined then and there.

My journey has taken a while, balancing life with a young daughter, farming and contracting business, and wanting to learn more about the oils—but my passion, interest, and excitement with Young Living Essential Oils has continually increased. The education and latest scientific research from Gary Young constantly reinforces our knowledge of the quality and efficacy of these wonderful products.

I am currently working toward my Level 2 as a Raindrop® Technique practitioner with the Raindrop Association of Australia, and my Level 2 as a Facial Rejuvenation Technician, which uses non-invasive acupressure techniques and Young Living essential oil products to give people years back on their faces and improved inner health. This protocol also has many varied ‘bonus’ health benefits, which is so rewarding when observing the results. Carla Green calls this “health by stealth”, meaning that the treatment seems to produce quite a number of unexpected health benefits for many people.

The highlight for me this year has been attending Facial Rejuvenation training in Minneapolis and then going on to 2009 Minneapolis Grand Convention. It was awesome, being a part of 4,000 members and listening to some incredible speakers. I was so blown away I have set a goal to return next year.

My business has grown slowly as I have been focusing on product knowledge and understanding as well as working on building a solid foundation. I support my team members by always being available—by sharing and educating. I wish to acknowledge the wonderful support received from other YLEO crossline members such as Cliff Winkleman and Artemis. I also work with Sharalyn Free (team member) and Des and Anne Whatley (other Young Living Essential Oils members) to bring a monthly information session to Toowoomba on the first Monday of each month at De Molay House, 90 Margaret Street. We open this to any person who wishes to attend.

Barb’s Top Three Products

NingXia Red® definitely because just 30 ml is equivalent to 900 grams of wolfberries. That’s an awesome amount of “antioxidant punch”. NingXia Red really does energise, fortify, and replenish.
Valor essential oil blend is a must have! When I have a sore back or sciatic pain, I put Valor on my feet and back and it gives me a solid sleep. The next morning I am usually able to jump out of bed and straight into my day. That Valor is good stuff!
If I had to pick just one product, then lavender essential oil would be my choice. Lavender contains constituents that work on a multitude of areas and its scent is so calming and relaxing. It is one amazing essential oil.
