We are Daniëlle & Ed Slingerland, married after a romance in Benidorm in 1989. Our family is made up of our 2 boys Michael and Colin, 1 Doodle puppy Franky and Violet, our lovely cat.
In June 2014, Daniëlle was living a stressful life working as a management assistant, as Ed had become unemployed due to a reorganisation and redundancy was approaching for her as well. In addition, we had a family member, who was terminally ill, causing a lot of tension and many a short and restless night.
Although we could not do it financially, we bought the Young Living Starter Bundle to support our whole family. A bundle with the most used oils for the most common questions in a household. Since we were already working on a healthy lifestyle, the 100% natural essential oils from Young Living fit in perfectly.
We shared with friends, family, and everyone we talked to about our experience and what this kit had done to shift our lives. We were already very active on social media, so we shared it there too and got interested in the products, just like we did with a good movie, a good book or a new restaurant. The choice to start with the business opportunity that Young Living offers was therefore quickly made. Helping people, as we had been helped, sharing the possibilities and getting paid for it was a great opportunity to do what we do best without having to make a big investment.
After 8 months, the day Ed started a new job, Daniëlle started working full time from home on our Young Living business. Meanwhile, since 1 January 2018, Ed has been able to quit his job to help and support Danielle full time in building our own business.
