Often I get asked - how I got
started using essential oils and
other nontraditional health
practices. Here’s my story along
with how you can get started
doing a daily practice – easily!
I believe I have been open-
minded about health practices
but I “grew up” with our
traditional Western medicine. I
remember that I was working as
a RN in the ICU – doing my job
and thinking – there has got to
be more to healing than what I
am doing now! Well, ask and you
will receive!
A few weeks later, I became
aware of energy therapy
VSHFLȴFDOO\
Healing Touch.
I
took all the class levels – not sure
why because this was totally
outside my thinking and that
was 20 years ago!! I began using
this practice with myself and my
IDPLO\ IRU ȴUVW DLG UHOD[DWLRQ
and balance. I included daily
meditation to help me get
focused for my day.
A few years later, I was
introduced to
essential oils.
This really expanded my health
awareness. I used essential
oils and supplements to help
correct my low thyroid and high
cholesterol levels. I continue to
use essential oils on a daily basis.
I realized the importance of
exercise and movement. I
discovered
Nia
and became
an instructor with a focus

Everyday Health Plan: My Story
By Debra Reis, RN, MSN, NP
I suggest that you begin with one
new practice; it may be a change in diet,
addition of exercise or a commitment
to relaxation practice.
