Community, Authenticity, Healing - Ellies Essential Blends
Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in health and wellness but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Ellie Dominguez, founder of Ellies Essential Blends, located in San Rafael, CA, USA.
What's your business, and who are your customers?
Ellie’s Essential Blends was founded in January of 2021 to help other women and mamas access self-care in a functional and reasonable way by using high-quality essential oils. My business is online, but I knew I wanted to provide an in-person way for others to experience my blends. That is where my events came into play. I am here to provide my true and authentic experiences as a mama to let others know they are supported and not alone. I do these by providing healing events.
Tell us about yourself
My journey with oils began in 2018 when I attended a class and learned about the healing power of oils. Over the last two years, essential oils have become a TOOL that we as a family use on a daily basis. I have created this company with the purpose of supporting women, especially mamas, in their daily lives.
I believe that self-care can take on many forms. For me, it comes as exercise, mediation, prayer, a hot cup of tea, attending 12 step meetings, and connecting with other women. Essential oils have been a complementary tool to add to my LIFE KIT.
All of my products I have hand-selected and used in my home and with my family. It was during COVID that I began to rely on essential oils as a coping mechanism to help with the constantly changing circumstances. These plant friends have brought me and my family moments of peace and calm; that is my hope for you too!
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
The community that I have formed through being honest and vulnerable about being a mother and how this community is vital to support me. Creating these healing events to sell my oils has become a space for others to explore different healing modalities.
What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?
One of the hardest things that come with being a business owner is that it all falls on me to get things done. So it is important that I am working on my self-care, so I don't get burnt out.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
- Go for it.
- Trust your intuition.
- Ask for help.
Is there anything else you'd like to share?
Creating this business has been a joy to connect with other women in business. Empowering others to pursue their passion and trust their intuition.
