About: Susan Mitchell

My care-giving includes 9 children, 35 grandchildren, and 5 little greats. For three years I was full-time caregiver to the kind woman who birthed my sweetheart. Then his health took some twists and turns that lead us down challenging pathways including a kidney transplant.

The Lord remodeled His house and turned it into a temple: “Beauty from Ashes.”

So Grateful for the AromaTouch Technique!

Dr. Hill’s scientific method for working 8 essential oils up and down the spine and on the bottoms of the feet is a mighty blessing in our home. My husband requests it often and every time the light touch with high frequency oils seems to relax his muscles and calm target areas. I feel so empowered that […]

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

Every day I make my hubby a healthy shake (part of our “Diabetes Destroyer” program). Today it had to be green, of course. To enhance the flavor I added a few drops of lemon essential oil. Fabulous. Now we plan to add an oil every day.
