Tahlia Pretty

Tahlia Pretty is a doTERRA Platinum Leader living in Adelaide, South Australia. She is truly the creator of her life and lives an abundantly holistic lifestyle. As well as being a doTERRA Platinum Leader, she is a business owner as a personal trainer, runs incredible health retreats called ‘Soulshine Retreats’ and hosts health and wellness workshops such as ‘Self-Care Sundays’. Tahlia is very passionate about sharing, educating and inspiring others to live their fullest, happiest and healthiest life. 

Tahlia was first introduced to doTERRA in her favourite wholefoods store and was hooked when she first experienced a bottle of Balance. “There was something very different about the way Balance made me feel. I felt grounded and calm in my go-go ways of running my own business as a personal trainer and my health retreats and workshops. I had looked into the amazing business opportunity and was always telling the yoga instructors who worked on my Soulshine Retreats about it but didn’t see myself sharing them. That changed when one of my mentors Melissa Ambrossini joined and I knew her and her husband Nick Broadhurst would guide me in alignment with my personal values and mission to serve others to thrive daily.” 

Every day Tahlia is constantly in awe of the healing powers of doTERRA essential oils. With a background in health science, knowing the ‘WHY’ behind the products is something that is extremely important to Tahlia. She is always interested in the way essentials oils react in the way that they do and finding out the data behind the oils.

“My biggest learning has been in understanding the extensive ways in which doTERRA essential oils can affect the human biochemistry on a physical, emotional and spiritual level, it is just phenomenal!”

In the process of building her doTERRA tribe and business to the level of Platinum, there were a few BIG words that guided Tahlia on this journey. These are: community, collaboration and creation. 

“Sustainable relationships are key in creating communities to support one another to make their soul-shine daily! We know that dōTERRA oils provide this solution, to assist the everyday human to live their best life. What completes this is the feeling of connectedness, as though we are supported. Creating a community of sister and brother-hood within my tribe is something that’s very important to me. At times it is tough, yes, life is a journey of up and down moments, but this tribe have each other’s backs and aren’t afraid to ask questions like ‘How are you?’ and ‘Are you okay?’. We have a very strong bond.” Connectedness is one of the core values in this ever growing Tribe. 

There is one thing that Tahlia will always tell every single one of her builders: “Your self-belief is your super power.”

“This is because I truly believe any of us can achieve any goal our heart desires. It is up to us to fully own it, build the resilience to move through any challenge with as much grace and ease as possible and know that each challenge is an opportunity for growth. 

“Think of each challenge you encounter as a check-point, if you don’t move through it, it will show up again and again until you do. Feel the fear and do it anyway, and if in doubt remember your ‘Why’ and bring yourself back to serving others to live their healthiest life possible.”

Tahlia finds her motivation by starting her day with movement, to align her energy for the day ahead. “Often this is ‘yang’ energy in the style of running, boxing, circuit work or weights as this gets my fire going for the day ahead. When my morning endorphins are flowing I feel like superwoman and experience moments of ‘I can do anything’. Days where I feel demotivated I will take it slower or do shorter workouts but I always arrive. Other things that motivate me are being in nature, podcasts, books, connecting with my team. I love face to face idea sessions, vision and goal setting journal work, which I do daily – I start with a short meditation followed by free flow writing to tap into my intuition and concrete goals.”

Lavender is one of Tahlia’s favourite and most used products, which she works into her night time routine every day. “Lavender has changed my life! Gone are the days of going to bed with a racing mind, lavender is love to my body and after applying it to my temples and feet I have the most sound, restful and rejuvenating sleep!”

Balance was the first oil that made Tahlia fall in love with doTERRA and to this day it is one of her favourite oils! “It is my anchor to cleanse my aura and realign back to my heart. Inhaling three deep breaths into my belly is how I detach from clients or any situations that leave me feeling a bit icky. I have worked with clients with both physical mental health issues and more and it is very natural to want to feed them your love, but at the end of the day, we need to have enough love to give and also give back to ourselves. Balance is my anchor to trust that everyone is on their own journey and when I leave a situation, I don’t need to worry about the other person and can send love back to myself”.
