What's my story?

My name is Gina Evangelista. I grew up experiencing all sorts of illnesses throughout my life.

​

I developed boils all over my body and was paralyzed from the waist down due to antibiotics that I was allergic to.

​

I had a migraine at least once a week and was popping extra-strength pain killers.

​

I had sore eyes for 2 weeks, went to school for 1 day after recovering, only to be staying home for another month because of hepatitis.

​

I had a sore throat constantly and I eventually had a tonsillectomy.

​

I had a cyst in my right ovary that prompted the removal of that ovary.

​

I had Stage IIIC Invasive Ductal Carcinoma. Did six sessions of chemotherapy and thirty-three sessions of radiation.

​

So, you see, my medical history is quite exciting!

​

After cancer, I decided to turn to nature to complement my wellness lifestyle. I have been using Young Living essential oils since early 2016 and I never looked back.

​

Fast forward to the middle of the pandemic in 2020, I received my Aromatherapy Certification from the New York Institute of Aromatherapy to deepen my understanding of these wonderful bottles of goodness so that I can share with others this wellness modality. My family and I have been turning to essential oils like a support group to add to our various wellness routine - eating right, movement, mental wellness, connecting with family and friends.

​

I am currently working towards getting my Level 2 Aromatherapy Certification and have been expanding my knowledge and education in various holistic practices, such as meditation and mindfulness.

​

As my way of giving thanks and giving back, I share my passion for wellness and holistic wellbeing with other cancer warriors and others who would like to make wellness their priority. I am part of a community of aromatherapists, educators, oilers and those who pursue wellness, and I would like to invite others to join us.
