I don’t share my story often. I’m not sure why, exactly. Maybe it’s because so much of it has felt sacred—tender, personal, and layered. But after sitting with it, living it, and growing through it for over a decade, I feel it’s time. Time to open the door and let you in.
This journey—filled with twists, healing, and rediscovery—has shaped not only who I am, but the heart of Loil Life. There have been moments of uncertainty and quiet strength, detours that felt like endings but turned out to be beginnings. And in every one of those chapters, there was a lesson waiting to be lived. I hold deep gratitude for all of it.
So if you’ll come with me, I’d love to take you back. To where it all began...
It all started in 2014, when I was at a crossroads. At 21, I was a student at ASU, studying accounting. It wasn’t my passion, but it was a path that felt familiar—stable, predictable. Yet, life had a different course in mind for me.
It began with an experience at a trauma center. As I watched firsthand the delicate balance of healing, I felt an undeniable pull toward the medical field. I changed my path, focusing on pre-med, where I imagined myself one day as a trauma surgeon, guided by purpose and the desire to help. It felt like a calling.
But, life has a way of unfolding in unexpected ways.
After receiving a flu shot one season, something shifted in my body. It began with a strange tingling, a numbness down the left side of my body, eventually creeping up to my face. A familiar space—doctor’s offices, tests, diagnoses—became unfamiliar and unnerving when it was my body in question.
The visit to my doctor was followed by an MRI, a process that felt more like a rite of passage than a medical procedure. I remember the stillness of the machine, the uncertainty that filled the space. It was there, in that quiet, that my life changed. The results revealed something I wasn’t prepared for—a diagnosis that would take me on a new path. Multiple sclerosis.
It was a heavy moment, a turning point. But as I sat with the news, something within me began to stir. It wasn’t the end of my journey—it was an invitation to walk a different path, one that aligned more deeply with my body, my spirit, and my soul.
In that moment, I knew I had to find a new way to heal—one that wasn’t just about medicine, but about nurturing the whole self. I dove into the world of holistic health, embracing practices and philosophies that honored my body’s innate ability to heal.
It was through this deepening connection with the earth, with herbs, and with intentional care that Loil Life was born. A line of products grounded in nature, designed to nourish not just the skin but the soul. It became more than a business—it became my way of sharing the rituals that brought me healing, strength, and balance.
Each product I create is a reflection of my own journey: grounded, slow, and purposeful. It’s about more than beauty—it’s about honoring the wisdom of nature and the power of self-care. Every drop, every touch, is a reminder to pause, breathe, and reconnect with the rituals that nourish us.
Loil Life isn’t just about skincare. It’s about taking care of the whole you, mind, body, and spirit. And it’s been the most beautiful and unexpected journey of my life.
