Who is the Oil Family?

We are Roger & Carol-Ann Mendoza (doTERRA Diamond Wellness Advocates) and Creating an impact is just a small part of what we do – Along with our 5 kiddos ,we are fully invested in helping other create their own dōTERRA story, being part of this amazing organization for the last 5 years; we have grown personally and love helping others to do the same. Carol-Ann with a background in business and Roger with engineering experience, put their heads together and have created “The Oil Family” or better known as the Oil Addicts. With an ever-growing global team of wellness conscience advocates, we strive to do one thing for our tribe – Think Love, Show Love and Create Love

Our journey begins a little on the heavy side…about 250 LBS heavier. Ever since we can remember we have struggled to maintain our health, being both over 300+ lbs didn’t help either. Over the last 20 years; Carol-Ann and I have gone through the up and downs of the weight roller coaster…We go up and we come down…One thing that stayed the same was, we always gained more weight then we first started. We wanted something else for myself and our kids. We wanted to be able to see our children grow up and see our future grandkids. We wanted to be active parents and not just wait for the next opportunity to get off our (you know what). So we decided to do something about it!

From just the two of us..our family grew to 7 in total!..It wasn’t always this way. We were told by everyone under the sun that we will never have any kids…We were determined to change that; so we adopted to 2 amazing kids from Haiti (now over 18 years old). With the stress of not having kids lifted and our bodies balancing out..the unexpected and oh so welcoming..Guess what happened…WE GOT PREGNANT!!

We wanted to create an amazing environment for our kids to live in and thrive in, so we moved to a small homestead property. Our mindset changed from scarcity to being abundant in all aspects of our lives, we made healthier choices, started planting our own food, using essential oils to be the Dr. Mom/Dad at home..we started losing weight again and GUESS WHAT HAPPENED AGAIN!! –  

Our Journey has just begun – 5 amazing kids – 3 to 20 years.

Roger Mendoza – Co-Founder

IT Engineer/Architect by heart and Essential Oil Addict every day. My everyday career as an architect, came with a cost…and a pretty high one at that. Working over 70 hours at time in a week and NOT being able to even see my wife and kids from dawn till dusk. I did not want to miss any more, so we did the unthinkable..I retired early and started pursing my passion for health, essential oils and food/plants to by our medicine. We started to talk and reach out to other with the same mindset..The oil wellness movement is coming whether you like it or not.

Carol-Ann Mendoza – Co-Founder

Business Major, College Executive and Project Manager turned her career into a passion to better her family (and her sanity). Meet Carol-Ann – Homeschool, Stay-At-Home, Get everything done on time Mom..Wife..and Friend to many. This was NOT an easy decision to make..We adopted at an early age and became instant parents overnight. With that came all kinds of responsibilities and we had to make a decision to better our family and give our kids the best they can have..a MOM. She pursued her passion to better our kids and found essential oils and has never looked back.
