What’s your favourite moment of 2024?
19.12.2024
By the time you receive this bulletin, I will be enjoying a well-deserved festive season break.
I want to take this opportunity to wish you and your loved ones a joy-filled festive season, and an abundant and transformational 2025. May it be filled with everything your heart desires.
We’re taking 4 weeks’ break from our Oil Temple bulletins, to give me a chance to catch my breath for the exciting year ahead. However, our office will reopen on 6th January 2024, if there’s anything you need.
If I was to sum up this year in one word, it would be “Intense!”. It’s certainly had its challenges on a personal level, with the loss (and near loss) of some loved ones, and the flooding of part of my home thanks to a cheeky python who turned a tap on!!!! But it’s also been a powerfully positive year, where I’ve lived my life with great intention, and reaped the rewards of that.
I’d love to share with you the highlights of 2024 at The Oil Temple, so you know what exciting things we’ve been up to this year. Enjoy!!!
In January 2024, I was over the moon to finally launch our new Aromatica website (formerly Raindrop Australia) – a real labour of love! The website is a treasure chest of information about our unique modalities, course offerings, and an online directory of our practitioners across Australia.
I’m so proud of what these Aromatica courses have become and feel grateful every day to share my passion alongside some incredible instructors, all working together to keep Gary’s dream alive – bringing Young Living oils into as many homes as we can!
Curious about our 2025 practitioner courses? Get in touch!
In March 2024, we wrapped up our Raindrop Technique Level 2 training with Aromatica. We held two courses – one in Perth and one on the Sunshine Coast – and were thrilled to welcome 12 new practitioners to the family shortly after!
I also had the joy of running my very first Aroma Stone Massage course. This is my own creation, and an immersive blend of essential oils, chakra balancing, the ancient healing energy of hot stones, along with VitaFlex Technique and massage. It’s luscious, and I can’t wait to run another one!
In April 2024, I travelled to Japan for Young Living’s Diamond Retreat and to be present at the ribbon cutting for our Shell Ginger farm – a dream Gary Young had 10 years ago.
Highlights included snorkelling in Okinawa’s Blue Cave, a cruise through the stunning Bios nature reserve, and a Gala Dinner with Young Living family members like Kylie and Glenn Bryant, Doc Oli, Sarah Harnisch, and many more. Young Living continues to bless us with these unforgettable experiences!
Next year’s destination is Sri Lanka, a country I’ve not yet visited….so I’m sooooo excited!!!
In May 2024, I was thrilled to head to Melbourne to create some fun and magic with my Melbourne team and their friends. I hosted 4 special events, all about the magic of essential oils, including teaching the incredible AromaBliss Technique.
A huge thank you to everyone who attended and treated themselves to some oily love at these events!
In June 2024, Sophie – who has been by my side at the Oil Temple for 3.5 years – travelled back to the UK to marry the love of her life! She had a beautiful ceremony followed by a 3-week honeymoon in Europe. Thankfully, my incredible virtual assistants (Cley and Kath) and our Raindrop & Egyptian Emotional Clearing Technique practitioner Sue Piper stepped in and kept everything flowing perfectly.
While Sophie was away, I joined Young Living’s 14 Day Reset and turned it into a team challenge. I had 180 people join me in drinking NingXia Red, staying hydrated, doing 30 minutes of fun exercise daily, and avoiding processed foods – all in the name of transforming our health. Check out the results here – they were amazing!
In July 2024, I had an epic trip to Salt Lake City, USA. I started by presenting at the Paws Claws Hooves 2024 Integrated Animal Conference alongside my sister, Susan. Afterward, I celebrated Young Living’s 30th Anniversary Convention – the first international event since 2019. It was so special to reconnect with long-lost friends and be part of such a significant milestone for Young Living!
At the Friday night gala, I was honoured to be recognised on stage as Royal Crown Diamond. What an honour!
And yes, that’s a 4-storey high picture of me in the Young Living USA Head Office! Little did I know when I first joined Young Living 26 years ago where this oily journey would take me…
In September 2024, I arrived early in Bali for a business conference to visit the Fuller Life Centre, a retreat created by Frances Fuller, who started her Young Living journey in 1998.
This 5-acre non-profit centre, once rice fields, now offers healing and Young Living modalities. What we pay to visit helps support the local Balinese community with free health treatments.
My 5 days there went so quickly, yet they were nourishing to my body on every level. I received 15 treatments in 5 days, helping my body to reset and recharge.

In October 2024 I attended Young Living AU/NZ’s 2024 mini convention “THRIVE,” a memorable celebration of our community and 25 years of Young Living in Australia. It was incredible to connect with my team from all over the country, and the sense of shared purpose left me feeling truly inspired for the journey ahead.
Check out what our team members who attended THRIVE had to say about their experience here.
In November 2024, we wrapped up all of our Aromatica courses for the year with a Raindrop Technique Level 1 course and a 7 day Egyptian Emotional Clearing Technique retreat in Byron Bay.
As always, the courses were packed with so much oily learning and love, creating many new friendships along the way.
November was also our biggest month of the year in Young Living, with our Black Friday sale and two new Silvers plus one new Gold in our team.
Thank you for loving oils as much as I do, and for helping to spread the word about our beautiful Young Living oils and oil-infused productsi!!!! I can’t wait to connect with you in 2024!
