In 2019, Nic and Katharine created Angel of Hope Designs Ltd selling reiki blessed silver angel necklaces. Business was going well, they were loving working together across two different countries and were expanding their range to include rose and yellow gold angels. They also produced a silver angel charm due to feedback from their customers.
At the same time, Katharine was loving her work as a massage therapist but wanted to enhance her clients experience and decided to incorporate 100% pure therapeutic aromatic essential oils to her treatments. She was introduced to doTERRA’s beautiful oils and soon began using them in her work. Very quickly she noticed the positive benefits for herself, her family and her clients. She became a dōTERRA Wellness Advocate and started sharing her knowledge with others, giving talks and workshops on oils and sharing them with everyone.
Nic, who had been a houseparent at an English boarding school was also ready for a new adventure. She was increasingly concerned about the toxins and chemicals used in and around the family home and Katharine’s timely introduction to oils was a godsend. Chemical free cleaning products, air fresheners, perfumes and then onto making her home-made soap was the way forward for her.
Then the world went into lockdown, the challenge of running and building a fledgling small business which relied on seeing, meeting and massaging clients began. More time at home gave them time for research and this curiosity led to an exploration into alternative health and natural remedies. Their father had also died of cancer 7 years after their mother and this experience, lockdown and concern for the future of their families led them to ask more and more questions.
- Why is it reported that cancer will affect 1 in every 2 of us?
- What impact do electromagnetic frequencies have on our bodies?
- What toxins are we exposed to?
- How many and what metals do we have inside us?
- Why has there been such an increase in asthma, ADHD and autism in our children?
- How can we help to improve our sleep?
- What can we do to help strengthen our immune system?
- What can we do to help ground and balance ourselves?
Being a ‘solutions-based’ family, the flame was lit and they began to source practical solutions to Health and Wellness issues for everyone. Angel of Hope grew into Angel of Wellness and the creation of their online shop where a wide range of health and wellness products can be found. In addition to running Angel of Wellness, they now both work as Wellness Advocates with doTERRA.
