- I'm Season Johnson, and
I'm married to Josh Johnson,
who's my better half.
And then I have two awesome, sassy kids,
Sala May who just turned
eight, and we adopted Sala,
we say that she grew in our heart,
we adopted her from birth,
and Kicker is our son
that we had biologically.
So, I went to school
for nutritional therapy,
where I learned how to just
support people's bodies
through diet and supplementation
of course, detoxification.
We love collecting just cookbooks on
really nutrient dense, rich, foods.
One of the things that
I think is funny now
is when I was in practice I
would have people come to me
and I used, of course,
lots of supplementation,
but I would have people ask
me about essential oils,
and my response to them was always,
"Well, I'm sure they smell good,
"but I don't think they do anything."
And, so it's so funny now,
I'm on the complete opposite
end of that spectrum,
and doing tons of research.
And, you know, I always tell
people that essential oils
are like the gateway drug to health.
Because, you know, once you
give a mom a bottle of oil
to use in an instance, to help
bring comfort to their child,
and they see that that
works, then they think,
okay well, if that worked,
I can't imagine what would
happen if I did improve my diet,
or if I did help detox them, a little bit.
So, it's kind of that, it opened the doors
for these families to really
start their journey to health.
The reason that I felt like
I was moving so quickly
was because I was so
determined to get these oils
into so many families' hands.
And, my why was so deeply rooted,
it was this, it was a conviction.
It wasn't, you know, some people say why,
but for me it's like a conviction,
I have this deep conviction
that I have to get these oils
into everybody's hands.
Everybody that's used the oils,
you have to understand
that you have a gift
that has the potential to
change somebody's life.
Whether you wanna be
compensated on it or not,
doesn't matter, you just have this gift,
so make sure you're sharing it.

It was December 4th, 2014,
when my son Kicker was
diagnosed with leukemia.
We, of course, were completely devastated,
our whole world was
just rocked upside down.
We chose to, to just keep moving forward,
and rise above, and let
you know, let others,
to come into our life,
and help pick us up and
walk us through that.
That's important too, is
allowing people to hold onto you
when you're not really strong to stand up.
And, allowing people to push you forward,
and that's why I give so
much credit to my leaders,
because, here I'm building this business
in the middle of my son's diagnosis,
and I remember canceling so many calls
because we had to go to
an appointment for chemo
and, or a call because
he wasn't feeling well,
and I needed to be with him,
and they stayed strong
through all of that,
and really contributed to where
our organization is today.
Because of their support and their belief
in what we were doing.
It was because of so many
people pouring into us
and helping our son through his treatment,
that's part of the reason he thrived.
And so we felt, completely
obligated to give back,
and to do that for others, and so,
doTERRA's allowed us
to start a non-profit.
We can't help but now
have our focus, of course,
being, you know, life is so
precious and enjoy every moment.
There's so many people that need our help.
And, you know, really
focusing on just giving back,
and helping people,
and that's why we created this non-profit.
- Maybe so, but a lot of that comes from,
'cause people helped us.
- Yeah.
- You know, we,
from the very beginning
of him getting sick,
I mean, help started coming in like crazy.
And then, I at least, have an obligation,
like, I owe the world, right now,
you know, because, so many people,
and our son, he can only say thank you,
a couple thousand times
and then you're just like,
it's thank you, thank
you, thank you, thank you,
and so, we're just doing what we can now
really to almost pay back.
- So, my doTERRA business
has allowed us to really
make this non-profit go.
And, allowed us to fund it,
it provides the funding
for, you know, what we do,
along with, now that we've grown,
we have a lot of outside
support and donors.
But, it's because of my doTERRA business
that this is even possible.
