My Story:
Welcome!
My name is Jannelle Marquez, but friends and family know me as “Jan.” I was born and raised in the island of Guam and moved to San Diego right after high school. I graduated and earned my B.A. and teaching credential from San Diego State University in 2000 and never left San Diego since, as I fell in love with “America’s Finest City” not to mention its impeccable weather. It was always a part of my plan to go back to grad school to earn my master’s degree and to one day have a business of my very own while teaching; but that desire was put on the back burner for so long as I have had to take care of my then 9 year old medically fragile son, Gavin (who was diagnosed with a genetic illness known as Tay-Sachs Disease) while also teaching part-time at a charter school.

A recently bereaved mother, I pursued my goal of earning my Master’s Degree in Education which I finally obtained in 2017 at the University of San Diego to professionally grow as a teacher and in memory and honor of my son. It was also the same year when I decided to take the next steps in sharing my love and passion for Young Living Essential Oils. After losing a child, my perspective on life and the world has suddenly and forever changed in an instant. I have learned to be a more compassionate and empathetic person, and to be grateful for everything that I have including being healthy today. I also have a 14 year old healthy daughter by the name of Audrey Bella, a new baby girl by the name of Soleia Brielle, and a very supportive husband by the name of “Ferdi” who is my high school sweetheart. As a TK-12 educator at a home school charter school since 2005, I am always curious and thirsty for knowledge and enjoy helping anyone learn and grow. I love writing, essential oils, listening to books, engaging in inspirational conversations, advocating, traveling, yoga, running, hiking, the outdoors, eating various cuisines, interior decorating, and most of all, spending time with my family.

My journey with Young Living Essential Oils dates back to 2013 when I was eagerly determined to find an “East meets West” approach to conventional medication for Gavin. As a mother who was beyond desperate to find ways to help her son, I resorted to various alternative medication and therapies, and Young Living Essential Oils soon became a “piece of the puzzle.” The oils were a huge part of Gavin’s daily regimen which I truly believe helped him tremendously. Rubbing oils such as: Frankincense, RC, Raven and lavender on his chest, back, neck, head, arms and feet indeed helped him to be more at ease while benefiting his respiratory system, which is usually compromised among children with Tay-Sachs Disease. Diffusing lemongrass, lavender, peppermint or lemon daily also cultivated an environment of peace and tranquility in our not-so-quiet active household amplified by the sounds of rattling toys played by my daughter and niece, buzzing medical equipment, beeping monitors, and the various nurses, caregivers, and family members who came in and out to help with Gavin’s round-the-clock care. Though the magnitude of our lives was indeed extraordinary and anything but dull, Young Living Essential Oils truly played a pivotal part in helping our family manage our journey.

My Favorite Oil

Identifying a favorite oil is a tough one as I absolutely love them all, but if I had to pick just one, it would be “Valor.” It’s the oil that always lifts me up when I’m feeling down and always seems to put me at ease.

First Oil Success

Sleep was one area that I was deeply deprived of and it did not help that my mind was constantly racing with endless thoughts, but when I learned that the power of lavender, peppermint and lemongrass can make a significant impact in my ability to feel relaxed, I was sold. Lavender in particular has helped me to sleep better while the soothing scent of lemongrass continues to ease my mind.
