Mama. Wife. Boss. Sister. Daughter. Friend.
I’m Brittney Guise.
When I was 18 I went to fashion school thinking I might make a career out of designing and sewing. I LOVED to create. I spent my days cutting, and pinning and sewing but started to realise that I needed one of two things to make it in this field. One, a whole lot of money or two, live in a big city. I had neither! So I finished up my year and shifted back with my parents and began teachers college.
By the time I graduated I was married and living on a dairy farm. A big life change! My passion for teaching had faded and because there were so few jobs local to me, I didn’t get one. At about that time, I started this blog! I had read blogs for a few years and was obsessed with the creative potential!
A few months later I did get a job in a slightly different area, semi related to what I trained in. Buuuut I hated it. It wasn’t a great work environment and it really wore me down. I cried on the way there. I cried on the way home. I cried on Sunday night. I came to a point where I realised something had to change. This was not the life I had imagined for myself.
So I quit.
I need room to breathe and a chance to start fresh without the clutter. I had been married to my farmer Aaron for a few years so took some time to spend with him outdoors. I worked alongside him for a little while. I had a lot of time in my head to refresh, to heal and to design my life. I listened to a whole lot of podcasts and books and regrew myself and my confidence.
BUT I needed more.
Farm work was not how I wanted to spend my days. I wanted to design and inspire and create and build community. I dove head first into my blog here, and my Instagram but needed something a little more. I had seen this company called doTERRA pop up every now and then and I decided to look more into it. 36 Youtube videos, 18 blog posts, and 3 hours of Instagram scrolling later…and I bought a kit.
That kit turned up exactly when I needed it. I was going through a lifestyle and health detox in order to conceive after two losses. Essential oils helped to rid my home of toxins for good.
Since I opened that first bottle I was obsessed. Obsessed with the versatility. The ownership I had over my health. The company. The community. Everything. I committed to sharing my love for oils with others and helping them to kickstart their healthy home detox too.
I’ve helped hundreds of families incorporate natural solutions into their homes.
“DoTERRA, essential oils and Brittney Guise have been a total game changer for me. I can now have a full, restful sleep, my moods are far more regulated (even with the old monthly hormone changes!), my stress management is SO much better and I love that I can do this naturally. Even my skeptical partner requests oil based help for migraines and sleep now! As a high school teacher, I want to introduce oils into my class room next year to help control behaviour with my junior classes and maximise productivity and efficiency with my seniors. I can’t wait!”

What next?
My home and health detox worked just the way it was supposed to. We conceived our sweet baby girl E who was born on Christmas Eve 2018. What a day huh! Throughout my pregnancy and the newborn days I grew my business more, travelled to Sydney, the US, Auckland, and fell deeply in love with the work I KNOW I was put on this earth to do. I could work during nap time and spent those waking hours with my favourite people. I could make money while I slept.
I found my calling and am obsessed with helping others do the same.
