MONICA MCWILLIAMS
one drop of grace
Hi, I'm Monica! I'm a small-town city-turned-country gal from Iowa where I live with my husband, our two children (3 and 1) and our three dogs. I have always had a love for treating our whole selves well, and essential oils fit seamlessly with my desire to take care of myself and others in the best way possible. Along with sharing essential oils, I am pursuing my Master's in Social Work from the University of Iowa while I stay at home with our children. I love seeking adventures, trying new things, eating good food, learning, reading and being active. I began using essential oils about four years ago. When I first got my oils, my husband used them more than I did! Initially, I was looking for help with skin, head tension, sleep and mood balance issues. When I saw even the smallest positive changes early on, I knew I wanted to share them with others and give them a chance to get their hands on this gift. Now, my family loves having them as a tool right at our fingertips to support us in a myriad of ways. I am excited to walk with you on your oil journey and hope you find it as easy and fun as I do!

What piece of advice do you have for beginning oil users or maybe someone that doesn't have oils in their life yet?
Know yourself. If you're the kind of person to get everything and completely jump in, GREAT, do it! If you are overwhelmed and unsure if they will even work, start SMALL. Pick ONE thing or oil and slowly add them into your life. When something comes up, see if there's a way you could use oils instead of another product and give it a shot. Also - get a good reference book!
