About Carrie

Hello!
My name is Carrie Raab and I am so glad you’re here! A little about me…
All of my life I have loved learning about the human body, how we were created, what the body needs, each function of the body, and so forth, which led me to pursue a degree in Psychology. I love people and desire to listen and help them whether it is a spiritual, physical, or emotional need. Because of my love for people, sports, fitness, health and overall wellness, I decided to go to school to become a Physical Therapist. Upon completion of my degree, I worked at a Sports Medicine Clinic, mainly treating athletes. I worked until the Lord blessed my husband and I with our first child. I left my role as a career woman and felt led to stay at home with my newborn son. I have been a stay at home mom ever since! It has been 13 wonderful years wearing my “mommy hats”, but all the while still pursuing my dreams, gifts and talents that the Lord has given me.
This “stay at home” path led me down the road of homeschooling my now two adorable sons. This is a full time job in and of itself. Homeschooling has allowed my passion for health, wholeness, and nutrition to stay afloat because I am able to nurture that into my children daily. We spend a lot of time together talking about whole foods, nutrition, exercise, how God designed our bodies, and the importance thereof. I am very passionate about health and well being. I desire to see people healed, whole and set free: physically, spiritually, mentally and emotionally.
I was introduced to Young Living Essential Oils and fell in love with the products. The oils and supplements are a fit for me and my family because they are all natural, plant based. The oils are therapeutic grade, which means they have healing properties. I like having all natural alternatives for my family! I am thankful to have them as I would much rather rub peppermint oil on the bottoms of my children’s feet to get rid of a high fever than to give them over the counter drugs. Both work, so I choose to use all natural versus chemicals, whenever I can.
On this website, my goal is to share a variety of ways to support your health, naturally, to share God’s word and provide support to homeschool families. My heart is to give God all the glory and please Him in every way! My desire is to find a group of people who love what I love and we learn and grow from one another.
A prayer and my blessing over you is this: for you to achieve wholeness in body, mind, and spirit and to live life to the full, knowing that you were bought with a high price—Jesus, who offered Himself as the ultimate Sacrifice for us. He gave us all of himself, may we give Him everything back. I pray that you, God’s people will set the standard in overall health and thus be used greatly for His kingdom as a result. If we want to effectively fulfill our purpose in life and to reach the world for the Lord, we need our health!
I commit myself to you and your health. Will you make that same commitment?
Bless you and thank you for stopping by and posting any feedback or comments!
Have a joy filled day!
Carrie

Hi Carrie,
I suffer from sever anxiety that I have to take meds for. Do you have an suggestions for oils that I can supplement Rx drugs with? I want to see if the oils can help and talk to my doctor about reducing dosages….I’d rather try natural god given remedies before supporting the pharmaceutical companies.
Hello Kathy!
Yes, there are a few good options to choose from. Young Living lavender, peace and calming, and the citrus oils in your water are all good choices. Another favorite of mine is stress-away essential oil. A lot of our anxiety is stress related. You can purchase these via my blog at my store: http://younglivingoillady.com/store/ I hope you are able to reduce your meds by combining them with God’s healing oils. Please consult your doctor on this. These are simply suggestions! Thank you and God bless!

Hey Carrie, I have just read your article on YL Lemon Oil and must say what a timely article it was as I have just received a bottle of yl lemon oil and your article has now given me further insite on the use of this oil.
Thanks again,
Laurie in New Zealand.
Dropping by to say Hello! Im also one of the co-hosts for the Lilla Rose giveaway. =)
Have a great weekend!
Thank you !!! I will do that !!! God is so good !!! I went to my Naturopathic Doctor and she put me on vitamin B-6 and B complex !!! It’s working great !!! But I will still look into the YLEO also !!!
Hi Carrie, I’m new to Young Essential Oils and I have a question about which oils to use for anti-depression ? I struggle with seasonal depression and in the past have had to take anti-depression drugs. Thank you for any advice !!! Thank you also for your Godly website !!!
I highly recommend getting a reference guide to essential oils… it will give you answers to your many questions. There are several oils to use for depression: lavender, Joy, grapefruit, orange just to name a few. Blessings!
I ran across your website via Pinterest. I have difficulties getting / staying asleep and usually depend on something to help me sleep at night. Can you recommend something to help me?
Hey Susan! Absolutely! Will email you. Lavender, Peace and Calming and Ruta Vala are my top 3 natural YLEO sleep choices! Great question!
Thank you!
Hi! I found your website through a friend’s post on Facebook. I have been dabbling into research on essential oils, and I’d love just to get the professional notes
My family has allergies, and eczema pretty bad. I have found a lotion only available through dermatologist, or the derm store online. It’s from france and has been a miracle lotion!! We had previously used all other lotions, creams, and steroids with no luck. I am wondering if there are oils that can help with that as well. Also I struggle with anxiety quite a bit, and would love to see if there is an oil for that as well. I’m just really interested in knowing God’s natural remedies for things. I too am a stay-at-home mommy who is starting homeschooling this year! I am so excited to keep my children’s education in my hands, while ensuring a solid foundation for them to grow on! Any info that you could send would be great!!
Thanks So Much!

Hello Carrie,
I was searching the internet on essential oils and came across your site. I do truly believe that God has through nature He created provided us with everything we need medically for all our sickness and I am interested in learning, but I do understand oils have differences also. So, can you please help me to understand why yours are good.
Thank You,
Sandy
Hey Sandy! I can’t agree with you more. I will send you information via my essential oils guide-I can subscribe you. It should help with all of your questions and concerns. Thanks and blessings to you!
Hi, what a great site! I am an RN and have learned the last 25 yrs that ‘natural” first is how I look at solutions for my family and for myself.
My question is for our 25yr old son who has had Chronic Fatigue…mainly low adrenal/cortisol…for many years. He reacts to most everything the Naturopath has tried…would you have any advice for me to pass on…if essential oils could help him? He is an awesome young man…with many dreams…but no energy to fulfill them…yet!
Blessings…Lois
Hi Lois! Blessings to you and I appreciate your kind words. Yes, essential oils can help, tremendously!! I will email you what I suggest/recommend for your son.
Thanks for visiting my site!
Hey Carrie! I was wondering if you’d like to do a guest post at my Fit, Fun and Fashionable after 40 blog? I think we could come up with something that my readers would find interesting, if you are interested in doing something like that. You can email me at heartfeltbalancehandmadelife(at)yahoo(dot)com
Thanks!
Hey Michelle! I would be honored! How fun! Yes, I will email you. Looking forward to it. Thank you so much for asking! Blessings!
Hi Carrie! Like Susie, I stumbled upon your site where I was also looking into healthy alternatives. I am currently in graduate school to become an occupational therapist – I also am humbled by the complexities of the body and the natural world around us. As I read and learn and study about our physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual selves, I can’t help but exclaim, “We praise You because we are fearfully and wonderfully made!” (Psalm 139:14). So very true and easy to say but so much harder to let it sink in and truly feel it at our core (e.g., when we are encountering our reflection in the mirror). Thanks for sharing your knowledge of and love of God. I look forward to learning more about essential oils and ways I can use them in my life and possibly in the lives of future clients to help them live more fully on their journey to wellness.
Hey Kristen! Thank you so much for your kind words. It sounds like we have a lot in common! You are studying OT, and I studied PT. We both love the Lord and desire to help others in their journey to wellness. I know you will love learning about essential oils, they are God’s medicine, mankind’s first medicine.
You are a blessing and will bless many lives. You have a gentle heart for others and God will use you tremendously in your field of work. Feel free to ask me any health questions or concerns that you might have. I hope to hear from you again! Bless you!
Hi Carrie! Just stumbled across your site. I just signed onto Young Living, as I have been using their oils for many years. Really excited to learn more and do more:) Loving your blog and will be subscribing!
Hey Cara! I am excited you are using Young Living Oils! I know you already love them and you will more and more! Thanks for your kind words, I am glad my blog is helpful!
Thanks for subscribing! Bless you and happy oiling!
I came across your website, while looking on Pinterest on ideas on becoming healthier and living greener in 2012. I currently have a home based childcare business, and a green cleaning product business. I use essential oils in many of my products. Therefore, I am interested in your line of essential oils. Currently I use DoTerra Oils. I will continue to use your website for information and may try out your oils. Thank you for your time and an awesome website.
Hey Susie! Wow, what an honor to receive those kind words. Thank you very much! I would be glad to assist you with YL oils, anyway that I can. I know you will not be disappointed! I love your heart and how you desire to use all natural products for your health. Thank you for visiting my site! Please do not hesitate to ask me any questions! I look forward to talking with you more. Thanks again, I really appreciate your kindness. Blessings to you!
I love your site! I think I can add to your Nutritional supplements section.. since you already have that category, but you need to believe in my ‘glorified’ supplements as well as young living! That’s why I respect you so much! So when can you give me 30 mins of your time? We can either talk by phone or I will show you in person? Let me know
Love-Gloria
