Hailey & Jeremy Aliff

Louisiana, USA
Before they started their Young Living journey, Hailey Aliff was a birth worker, while her husband, Jeremy, gravitated toward entrepreneurship. After Hailey felt burnt out of her job, she and her husband combined strengths with Young Living to help others achieve wellness, purpose, and abundance. They’ve always dreamed of getting out of debt and helping others. “We’ve always had the hearts to give but didn’t have the means to do it until now,” says Jeremy. Young Living has opened the door for endless possibilities.
Several of their family members also run Young Living businesses. They continue to travel and form new relationships with people across the globe. Hailey feels that Young Living is a purpose-driven company and that it’s about inviting people to come and better their lives.
Hailey and Jeremy love the freedom and purpose they have found in Young Living. They are excited to adopt a baby soon and start growing their family. *

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 became determined to share Young Living’s products with everyone she met. Heather told her husband, John, “We are doing this thing.”
She started studying and teaching right away. John was on board with essential oils but skeptical of the business opportunity until he saw the power of duplication at work. John began taking an active role, working the Young Living business part-time, until he could put his time and energy where he wanted: in his family and in the vision of Young Living’s mission of wellness, purpose, and abundance.
The Brocks are honored to be counted among the Royal Crown Diamond ranks and are thankful for their powerful team. Heather and John are grateful for the freedom they now have as parents to say yes to healthy choices, honor the Lord with their work, and help others find that freedom as well. The Brocks homeschool their three children on their small ranch in Southern California. *

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 six children. Her background before Young Living includes Children’s Ministry. Courtney and John are expecting their seventh child.

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 and 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

Frances Fuller relocated to Singapore from Palm Beach, Florida, where she was nationally certified by the National Certification Board of Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork and state certified by the Florida Department of Health as a licensed massage therapist and continuing education provider.
Integrating essential oils into all the modalities that she has practiced and taught through the years, Frances’s passion is helping others elevate their lives.
For years, her ultimate goal had been to get Young Living to Singapore. Having accomplished her goal and built a large team there, she’s more passionate than ever about sharing the products. However, more than growing her business, “growing people” remains her greatest passion.
“While Gary Young called himself a farmer, I refer to myself as a people grower,” Frances says. “I never tire of witnessing growth in others.” *

Carol Yeh-Garner and 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.

Adam and 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.”

Lindsey and 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 and Jim Harting

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.”

Echo & Danny Hill

Texas, USA
As leaders, Echo and Danny Hill are positive, inspirational, and high-energy. They strive to create leaders who aren’t just followers but empowered members who can act for themselves.

Max and 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 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.”

Colorado, USA

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 h er 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.

Sera & Darren Johnson

Texas, USA

Sera Johnson’s Young Living journey started in 2006 after she asked God to reveal his plan and tools for her family’s abundant health. She found her answer in Young Living Essential Oils. After extensive research and viewing photos of Gary Young on the company farms, she knew this opportunity would change her life.
As Sera saw how the Starter Kit impacted her family’s life, she felt a burning desire to teach and empower others. She became an unstoppable force when she read about essential oils from the Bible and constantly shared Young Living with the world. Along with her phenomenal team, Sera loves to encourage others to focus on their own unique Young Living journey. She believes that using the products consistently to achieve personal wellness, sharing with passion and purpose, and dreaming big as they discover abundance can help others live a greater life.
Sera and her husband, Darren, balance running the business with homeschooling their four children. Their family loves the freedom Young Living offers. They can travel, pursue their God-given passions, support ministries, and bless others. They couldn’t be more grateful! *

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.

Joanne Kan and Eric Yang

Hong Kong

When Joanne Kan and Eric Yang started receiving checks from Young Living, they didn’t understand why. After experiencing some of the products, Joanne had ordered a Starter Kit to fulfill their goal of keeping their home free from harsh chemicals. Joanne did what any good friend would do and started sharing her newfound love of essential oils with her friends and family, without understanding that she was creating her own business with Young Living. “A few months later, I received a check. I had no idea where that money was coming from!” It took Joanne almost a week to understand that she had begun building her Young Living business.
Before Young Living came into her life, Joanne wanted to be a Waldorf early childhood teacher, nurturing children and educating parents. Now she’s a mother and a business owner, educating other parents about lifestyle and parenting choices through her work with Young Living. “I just don’t want other moms to have to go through what I went through to have a happy life and happy children,” she says.
Despite the challenges she has already gone through, Joanne looks forward to new challenges in her life. “A challenge is always difficult if you look at it as difficult,” she points out. Whether the challenge is working with leaders and members, coordinating with the company, or navigating public relations, Joanne believes that they offer an opportunity to grow and learn. “I overcome challenges by improving myself, adapting, and staying positive.” Throughout challenges, she also recommends meditating, having an introspective focus, and “applying loads of oils.” *

Gretchen King- Ann

Hong Kong

Gretchen King’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.”
For Gretchen, success is about balancing and accomplishing everything. She has a very simple piece of advice for anyone just joining Young Living: Use the oils!

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
As a full-time wife and mom, Fiona Lui has always looked for healthy options for her family. When she was introduced to Young Living, she bought her first Premium Starter Kit without hesitation because she felt such a strong connection with Young Living’s mission.
“I want my children to grow up in a healthy environment, and I want provide them with the best,” she says. “I’m open to try anything that’s high quality and benefits their health.” It was this state of mind that started Fiona on her journey with Young Living.
In three and a half years, Fiona went from a Young Living novice to a Royal Crown Diamond with a growing team and many professional qualifications in aromatherapy.
She says, “I initially joined Young Living purely because of my love for essential oils, but later I found that Young Living is not only a company that can improve your overall health but is also a platform to help other people. This brings me happiness and satisfaction that the words cannot describe.”
Fiona’s example proves that if you have passion and love for what you do, Young Living is a stage where you can shine and help others shine as well. *

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 and Monique McLean

Utah, 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 and Michael Moreno

Colorado, USA


Lindsay is a world champion iPhone karaoke singer, expert problem solver, and avoider of all household chores. She has a collection of dry shampoo that puts any momtrepreneur to shame. Her passions include helping women start businesses, watching videos of baby goats online, and seeing the world with her family.
Michael credits his dimple for not only much of his life success but also the free upgrades he tends to receive. His passions include hanging out with his family, laughing at inappropriate Internet memes, and cheering on the Arizona Cardinals.
Together, Lindsay and Michael live in their Barbie Dreamhouse in Colorado with their three daughters and the family mascot, Fitzgerald.
Lindsay started her Young Living business in 2013. Her goal was to bring essential oils and an online business to her tribe—which is mostly made up of moms with kids at home and not a lot of time for extra anything. With a strong desire to make the business and product easier, the Lemon Dropper team was born and grew at an alarming rate. Michael joined the team to take care of the back end of the business in 2014 because Lindsay’s brain doesn’t work like that. Together, they have started multiple other businesses together.
Because Lindsay’s business was completely built online through writing and connecting with women through words, she published the book Getting Noticed in 2017 and recently signed with the HarperCollins for two new books. The first will release in the fall of 2019. *

Vicki has a background in computer science and engineering but has worked in the natural health field for nearly 40 years. She is also a certified nutritional counselor. With an eye for detail and a passion for truth, she has made it her mission to study and teach natural health and nutrition.
Her teachers have included natural health luminaries such as D. Gary Young, Bernard Jensen, and Reverend Hanna Kroeger. She joined Young Living in 1994 and was one of the first members to achieve the rank of Diamond. She is currently a Royal Crown Diamond and lectures on the Young Living lifestyle and how to share it with others.
Vicki’s books have been used by Young Living leaders around the world to build successful businesses. Her goal is teaching people how to live longer, healthier, and happier lives in a way that the valuable information can be shared easily to benefit future generations.
Growing up around the Young Living lifestyle, starting with his mother’s introduction to the oils in 1994, Chris Opfer joined Young Living in 2002. Although he was an avid and faithful user of the products, he pursued his dream to become a lawyer and prosecutor. Chris graduated from the University of Denver in 2007 with a degree in both Political Science and Criminology. Three years later, in 2010, he earned his Juris Doctor from the University of Denver Sturm College of Law and began practicing as a prosecutor in Colorado’s most populous judicial district. In 2016 Chris left his successful career as a prosecutor to join Vicki as a business partner. Chris has lectured for Young Living and greatly enjoys helping others share the freedom that comes with the Young Living lifestyle.
“We are here to help our Young Living family achieve ultimate freedom,” said Chris, “by living happier and healthier lives through these wonderful products.”

Melissa & Wayne Poepping

Minnesota, USA

While Melissa Poepping was first introduced to essential oils in 1998, it wasn’t until 2005—while she held her newborn baby—that she realized the importance of using plant-based and naturally derived products. What began as an effort to improve her home grew into much more. “I started this journey so I could have a home free of harsh chemicals for my kids,” she says. “But what came with the journey was my ability to stay home and raise them.”
Melissa describes her transition into Young Living as a “leap of faith,” and it has brought amazing results into her life and into the lives of those around her. “Before I knew it, we were creating a movement in our community,” she says.
In her pursuit to immerse herself in this new lifestyle, Melissa began designing naturally derived, mi
