I Value You is proud to shine a spotlight on ButterflyOils4U

 

ButterflyOils4U store was launched to expose more people to natural alternatives to medicine. For years, the founder of ButterflyOils4U used certified pure therapeutic grade (CPTG) essential oils and created essential oil blends for personal use. CPTG essential oils helped her address all of her health concerns, and by sharing her experiences and oils with family/friends, she witnessed positive changes in the mental and physical health of others. ButterflyOils4U aims to inform more people about the benefits of using CPTG essential oils. The inspiration behind the name ButterflyOils4U came from the founder’s desire to help others (i.e., you) transform to a better you.

The founder of ButterflyOils4U shared the following message with us:

Many of us have health needs or physical areas of concern. We may have or be trying to prevent an ailment. Like a caterpillar emerging from the cocoon, sometimes we may struggle to reach our health goals. However, it’s important to remember that the caterpillar grows stronger and eventually transforms into a butterfly, soaring gracefully and boldly after its struggle out of its cocoon. ButterflyOils4U products are created to support your journey toward feeling stronger and healthier. When you feel healthier you can transform to a better you. Like the change that the flap of the butterfly’s wing can have on our climate, your transformation to a better you will change the world. 

When we are struggling mentally or physically, it is hard for us to be totally present in that moment. Every moment in our life is important; however, when we are struggling (e.g., mentally, physically, or emotionally), our brain concentrates more on the area of concern. When we are healthy, we can be our best selves. When we think positively about ourselves our positive energy transmits to people around us, and ultimately to the world.

Merely speaking about self-love, without action, keeps us in a cocoon. Using CPTG essential oils is a natural way to boost our immune system and can be a safe alternative to traditional medicine. Using ButterflyOils4U essential oils is an active way to focus on self-love, which begins with our health. When you feel better physically, your subconscious is not worrying about the “what-ifs.” The caterpillar in the cocoon may not know that it is being transformed into a beautiful butterfly. You are beautiful now, and when you focus on yourself and transform to a healthier you, your transformation will embolden you to soar.

I Value You is proud to shine a spotlight on Dr. Courtney Arnold and the New Leaf Wellness Center in McKinney, Texas. 

Dr. Courtney Arnold

 

Dr. Arnold, please tell us a little bit about yourself and New Leaf Wellness Center.

Hello, my name is Dr. Courtney Arnold, I'm a graduate of Life University where I earned my Doctorate of Chiropractic degree as well as a Master of Sport Health Science degree with a concentration in Chiropractic Sports Science. I earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology from Valdosta State University as well as a Bachelor of Science degree in Chemistry and attended Parker University for my MBA with a concentration in Health Care Management. I am an active member of the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association and the Texas Chiropractic Association and am committed to a lifetime of learning.


I am one of the co-owners of New Leaf Wellness Center, a family-oriented chiropractic and wellness center whose goal is to support families through compassion and encouragement, and allowing them to make healthy decisions in a thoughtful, holistic manner. I am also a full-time professor at Parker University where I teach students how to adjust and become a chiropractor. 

I am committed to providing thorough, gentle, and effective chiropractic care for the whole family. I enjoy discussing nutrition, exercise, and cooking ideas with patients to help them achieve optimal health. My passion for holistic health was brought on even more by resolving my personal health battle with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome. My personal mission is to empower as many people as possible to experience their optimal health potential through genuine care and education.

When not treating patients or practicing, I spend my time traveling, shopping at the local farmer's market, spending time with family and friends, wine tasting, and trying new local vegan-friendly restaurants.  

How does New Leaf Wellness Center embody I Value You's message of spreading kindness and positivity?

We realized the impact the four of us could have in our community and we believe every BODY deserves chiropractic care, whether they’re low-income or service industry employees. So, we established a non-profit/501(c)3 called We Care Chiropractic. This program is income based and for those who think they may qualify; we encourage to fill out an eligibility form and pay for care using a sliding scale (wecarechiro.org). We also use our non-profit to give back to our local community by volunteering and offering donations during the holidays at local events. 

 

What is something you wish more people knew about chiropractic care?

We’d like our community to know that Chiropractic is more than cracks and pops and that health is more than looking good and feeling good. Being healthy is being proactive about your well-being, mentally, physically, and spiritually. Chiropractic is about your body functioning at its peak. Interferences in the function of our bodies, not only happen with physical traumas but also with our thoughts, environment, and toxins that settle in and around us.

Check out Awfully Pawful a webcomic series (and 372 page book!) that is told through the eyes of feline frenemies, Tiger and Mak.  It's a tad awful, a bunch of fun, and full of truth!
Everyone struggles. One may watch in admiration of how you fought. For merely their entertainment, one may secretly be waiting to make you struggle again. Struggles never end; they just come in different forms.
