Oh hey there, I’m Annika!
I support people on their wellness journey; I run with a squad who are ready to level up their lives! My job is to help people get more out of their health, community, and for some - even finances.
YEP. IT IS POSSIBLE TO FEEL GOOD MOST OF THE TIME!
I believe that every person CAN live a life of vitality! I also know that until you are in the trenches with vitality, that it can feel like something for someone else – change can feel hard, and we might even not know if we need it or not.
OUR BODIES ARE DESIGNED TO COME INTO BALANCE WHEN WE GIVE THEM THE RIGHT TOOLS (PHYSICAL AND EMOTIONAL). JUST LOOK AT HOW WE FIX A BROKEN ARM...
I believe in the power of you and I! Ok, if you were around for the 2010 games that we hosted here in Vancouver, you *might* remember that theme song! (Will it blow my cover if I tell you that I *still* have it on my favourites playlist??) If you don’t – here’s the drill. We are always, always, ALWAYS better together! The power of community is real, yo! And like how grilled cheese is just better with tomato soup, when you work with me, you’re getting my partnership and loyalty.
I believe that we are all responsible for living our one and precious life! When you’re in the thick of life things, it can feel like there are so many things we don’t have control over. Work, kids, finances – so many of the things that take up our lives can feel just so much-y muchness! If you’ve ever felt tired in the cycle of breakfast-kids-work-dinner-clean-netflix-repeat x infinity, if you’ve ever felt an inkling that there could be more for you out there – you’re in the right place.
Look, I get it. When you are running at MAXIMUM CAPACITY ALL THE TIME it can feel overwhelming to take on one more dang thing.
We’ve all had self-care shouted at us in increasingly louder tones, as if somehow a pedicure will fix our burnout.
BUT WAIT
Does this come with a bunch of requirements to order a bunch of stuff every month, or stockpile things in my garage to get the best discount, or sell my firstborn child?? (Um – no, no, and super nope!)
For me (like so many new moms) when I had my daughter, everything in my life changed – and it was super overwhelming! All we ever want is the best for our kids – but ‘best’ looks so different to everyone, right? What I knew, quickly, was that I wanted to start to be much more mindful of what we used on, in, and around our babe.
But it felt like sooooooooo much! Hold on, I just pushed an ACTUAL HUMAN out of my body and now I need to also change laundry detergents?? I’m out!
Actually, let’s rewind a step or two. Because really, this journey started in pregnancy.
I was NOT one of those glowing goddess earth mamas when I was pregnant. I was a hot mess – uncomfortable, miserable and sick almost the whole time (think Ursula at the end of the little mermaid…). When I started researching what I could take for my morning (lol if you’ve ever had it “morning” aka all day and half the night) sickness and the answer was pretty much NOTHING… (Actual footage of pregnant me trying to have fun at a wedding ->)
Anyway, it really started me thinking... If I can’t take this because of the baby, is it really a good idea to take it for me, either?
But when my health (mental and physical) started to look like the stock market from 1910-1940 (#rocky), I started to feel even more lost and helpless. Those first two and a half years were HARD.
But when I found oils, everything started to get a little easier. Not only could I make baby and cleaning products that were safe, but I had solutions right at my fingertips for so many different things. Suddenly all the health things that I had just assumed were “part of aging” or I had been explicitly told by doctors were just “the way it is now” – these things started to change and get better. I started to feel more energy, less discomfort, better digestion. I started to wake up excited for life again! And even though it felt like a lot when I stood at the base of that mountain, it really wasn’t as hard as I’d made it out to be.
It wasn’t even as hard as being pregnant #goodnews
LET’S BREAK IT DOWN: I’M ALL ABOUT COMMUNITY, CLARITY, AND FUN!
A little bit more about Annika
I am someone who has always had deep held beliefs about right and wrong. In fact, when I graduated from high school, I was gifted a hammer, because I was clearly going to head out into the world and deliver the hammer of justice. #wellalmost True story! While this might not look exactly like sitting at the council table like 18-year-old me envisioned when I dreamed of being a lawyer, it serves the same purpose – for people to live their absolute best lives possible <3
You know when you look back and realize that everything in your life has led you to exactly where you are? That’s me, to a tee. My previous work corporately as an inventory manager gave me real-world business management experience (and showed me how much I longed for time freedom!), my work as a yoga teacher gave me the ability to teach and connect deeply with people, and my work as a mama teaches me (every dang day) how to share compassion (even when I don’t want to, haha!) and how to simplify.
Together with my amazing team of wellness advocates, we have introduced two thousand families to essential oils! I can hardly even type that without feeling a surge of all the feels (I’m not afraid to cry, I am a super feeler!) I have personally walked with hundreds to create specific, simple wellness plans. Whether it’s immune support for your kids, cleaning up your cleaning routine, or better managing stress – there’s an oil for that (and sooooo much more!), and I’ll be here to remind you how to use it. If you’re longing for community or want to get your oils for free (or are looking to escape the cubical!), I got you there too! It’s like a sweet ‘choose your own adventure’ book, and all you have to do is select the next page.
You don’t have to navigate change alone.
I started out just like you - curious and overwhelmed, but with a little niggle that there could maybe be something here… #worthashot
But I know that vitality is waiting for you, that you are in charge of your life and your health, and that WE are better together.
Deep, authentic connection drives me — period, full stop! We are always better together. I walk arm in arm with my people and we get to create so much more together than we ever would alone. What are chips without dip?? A little dry and a little sad.
I want to help you – yep you! – if you are someone who is too busy to think about wellness or vitality, to make changes that are simple, clear, and impactful.
Remember that “choose your own adventure” book? Yep – you get to roll back to elementary school and choose below to decide which adventure you want us to go on together!
Are you even a little curious to know more about the kinds of solutions I provide?
I love working one on one with people to create custom plans. It’s the most efficient way to get to the root of YOUR health needs.
Hit me with your best shot on email – I love notes!
