You know how sometimes life feels a bit too much? Like your brain is running on full speed, but you just want a break? That’s what led me to try my first bottle of dōTERRA Balance® Grounding Blend. At first, I thought, “Oh this smells lovely.” But then something shifted. I actually felt calmer. More steady. Less all over the place.
Feeling Better with Oils
That one bottle of Balance opened the door to a whole new world for me.
Since then, I’ve been learning more about how essential oils don’t just smell good, they can actually support your emotions and help your body feel safe, settled, and grounded. And when your body feels safe, your nervous system chills out. And that’s big, because your nervous system runs the whole show, from how you sleep and eat to how you handle stress and even your hormones and weight. Wild, right?
That’s why I’m so excited about the Emotional Wellness Starter Pack. It’s a gorgeous little toolkit that helps you feel supported in your day-to-day life. Not just when you're doing yoga or journaling (although, yes please), but in those in between moments too, like when there's not enough hours in the day, work stress, or just when you can’t find the scissors and everything is happening at once.
Let me tell you what’s inside and how I use it…
What’s in the Emotional Wellness Starter Pack?
You get five powerful oils and blends plus a Petal Diffuser to make your space smell like heaven (and feel like a calm little cocoon):
Lavender Peace (Restful Blend) – for winding down and sleeping better.
Adaptiv (Tranquil Blend) – for those overwhelmed, stressed-out days.
Balance (Grounding Blend) – for when you feel scattered and need to land back in your body.
Citrus Bliss (Invigorating Blend) – for lifting your mood and making things feel light again.
Clementine – a bright, happy oil that’s like sunshine in a bottle.
You also get a Petal Diffuser, which is super easy to use (just water, oil, press a button and go). It fills the room with a soft mist that smells amazing and actually does something for your mood.
How I Use Them in Real Life
These oils aren’t just sitting pretty on my shelf they’re part of my everyday emotional care. I like using oils not just when I’m in a funk, but before the funk shows up. Like giving myself a little emotional head start. If I know it’s going to be a full on day, I reach for an oil to help set the tone. If it's a dull day and because I'm a solar charged type of person I make sure to double down with my Citrus Bliss and Clementine. It’s my way of staying ahead of my mood instead of chasing it later.
With my Oracle Cards + Journaling:
I sit down in the morning with a cuppa, my journal, and my cards. I choose an oil based on how I’m feeling (or how I want to feel).
If I want clarity or peace, I use Balance or Lavender Peace.
If I need a boost of courage or energy, it’s Citrus Bliss or Clementine.
If I’m anxious or frazzled, Adaptiv goes straight into the diffuser.
I breathe it in while I pull my card and write in my journal. The smell helps me drop in, like flipping the switch from “doing” to “being.” It creates space to hear myself again.
At Night:
I mix Lavender Peace with a bit of fractionated coconut oil and rub it on my neck, chest, and the bottoms of my feet before bed. It’s like tucking myself in with love.
In the chaos moments:
When life is hectic and I need to stay steady, I put a drop of Balance on my wrists and take three deep breaths from my hands. It helps me reset without needing to escape the moment.
NB: this is how I like to use them, everyone is different so do what works for you, try different ways of using the oils mix it up!
The Science Bit
Your sense of smell is directly connected to the part of your brain that handles emotions. It’s called the limbic system.
So, when you breathe in an essential oil, it immediately sends signals to your brain that can help shift your emotional state, fast.
This is why oils work so beautifully with things like stress, anxiety, overwhelm, and even grief or motivation. They don’t just cover up feelings; they help you move through them. And when you’re emotionally supported, your nervous system calms down. That means better digestion, better sleep, better hormone balance, better everything.
Science also shows that our emotional wellbeing plays a huge role in our overall quality of life. Feeling calm, supported, and hopeful makes everyday life easier and more joyful. Essential oils give us a natural way to support that emotional balance.
Ready to Try It for Yourself?
This Emotional Wellness Starter Pack isn’t about perfection or having it all figured out. It’s about giving yourself a little extra support, something to lean on when life gets swirly. It’s like a hug in a bottle (or five).
If you’re new to oils, this is a lovely place to start. And if you’re already using them, this pack is like a cozy upgrade.
You can use the oils in your diffuser, in your bath, on your skin (with coconut oil), or just inhale them from your hands. There’s no “right” way only what works for you.
You deserve to feel good. Every day. And these oils can help.
If you’ve got questions, or want to know how to get started, just send me a message. I’d love to chat about what you're feeling and help you choose what might support you best.

If you are currently under medical treatment or taking medication, I strongly advise consulting with your healthcare professional before incorporating essential oils into your routine. Every individual is unique, and what works well for one person may not be suitable for another.
Remember that the information shared here is not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Read the label on your essential oil bottle.

Also if you use my tips, guides and ideas, you actually have to do the work as well. Keep using the oils, track your progress - changes, and implement other complimentary practices at the same time as using the oils, like healthy eating, meditation, exercise, prayer, journalling and whatever else you are drawn too. Essential oils can be a quick fix ie: a quick mood fix or some relief from tension or pain, but if you want long lasting effects and overall improved well being it's more like a lifestyle you need to create for yourself.
