Somewhere in the process of using herbs (perhaps for Potpourri?) I bought some essential oils. I was, and still am, totally in awe of their healing, balancing power, first physically, but on a deeper level, emotionally. I read every book and article on the subject I could find, and started experimenting. Bless my friends and family for playing guinea pig during that stage! Friends started saying "I want to pay you for this." and then "You ought to sell this; people need to be able to buy it!" And so Nature's Gift was borne. Since then, my "self-taught" status has been 'corrected' by more formalized education, and through the generous spirits of many mentors.

At Nature's Gift I carefully select Pure Essential Oils from the four corners of the world. Our goal is to provide the finest quality pure and natural essential oils available today. I do not shop by price, nor do I buy from "mass market" suppliers, but rather from small distillers who either grow their crop themselves, or personally know and observe the farmers whose oils they sell. Most of our oils are either organically grown, or ethically wildcrafted with concern for the worldwide environment and ecosystem. Our synergistic blends are carefully designed using our own pure essential oils, sometimes blended with other totally natural ingredients. Nothing artificial is ever added. I spend a tremendous amount of time and effort seeking out the best suppliers, to provide the highest possible quality ingredients for my blends. The oils you will find offered here offer very little in common with those you will find in your local health food shop. We have purity tests (GC/MS reports) on approximately 3/4's of the oils we offer. Am I going to test every batch of oil from a distiller I've worked with for years? No...because I don't want to have to pass that additional cost on to you. Do I test oils from new sources and suppliers? Almost always. We usually don't test our absolutes, because I sincerely hope no one is using them for therapeutic reasons, or internally.

Over the years, I've been privileged to meet some of you, at various conferences and conventions. And, of course, I've talked to a lot of you on the phone or via E-mail.   If you are one of the people I've not been privileged to meet yet, and  for some reason, you are curious about the person behind Nature's Gift, just click here.
