Hello I'm Geli, great to see you here!
(actually, Angelika is my full name, but most English speaking peeps seemingly can't pronounce my German name ... hint, the 'G' is hard - not like jelly), I choose to use the official short German version of my name, Geli).
So, yes, I was born and raised in Germany into a family of scientists. My mother was a senior clinical pharmacist, and my father Dr. Max Heimann,
was a phytopathologist (plant diseases) doing his professorship, habilitation, at the university in Hannover. He was one of those pioneers who worked on genetic engineering, and later discovered apoplexy in apricot trees.
Much later, he worked with major world-wide known pesticide and herbicide companies, at times much to the dismay of my mother, especially when he infected her rose garden to test out some of the 'remedies' those companies were testing in the research lab.
Well, I guess this is why my love for science is not so secretly hidden.
I studied English Literature at the Johannes Gutenberg University in Mainz, and later I earned two degrees (BSc. Hons. Psychology and MSc Business Psychology) at the University of Westminster in London.
In between I also studied theology in Hong Kong and became a licensed, ordained minister. Considering that I lived and visited places all over the world, I am a bit of a nomad.
I do consider myself a Global Citizen, who currently lives in London, UK, and now contemplating to also live in the South of France with my two little Mi-Ki dogs, Pippin and Arwen, part time. I'm also a grandmother of two adorable young boys who live with their parents (son and daughter-in-law) in Sydney, Australia.
My daughter and son-in-law also now live in London after their work life in Geneva, Switzerland and Montevideo, Uruguay.
Now in my 70's I continue enjoying my thriving online lifestyle business, my passion for travel, the arts, science, spirituality, metaphysics, whole-person functional wellbeing, philanthropy, exploring different cultures, and loving the good life with a touch of luxury.
Apart from a wellness lifestyle which became really important after I managed to die and then was brought back to this realm of living (two heart attacks, one cardiac arrest resulting in and incredible NDA experience), I love acquiring more knowledge and experience in the quantum sciences, vibrational energy, and artistic expressions in my environment creating calm and tranquil ambiences and sacred spaces.
Oh and I also delight in culinary playtime ... conscious kitchen and mindful eating the fun way, including entertaining, and creating little special joys for others. You will find a fair bit of inspirations here on this site, if that is your 'jam', too.
Here I am with Arwen and Pippin, my little furry companions.
I love having fun with them on our nature trails and nearby parks. As little as they are (it's a toy dog breed), there are surprisingly good walkers!
I am considering writing some uplifting magic realism inspired feel good novels, although, with everything else going on here, that might have to wait a bit.
So, what brought me here to Young Living,
a company that is way more than just Essential Oils?
Well, first of all, it really was just the oils, or rather the quality of the oils, that drew me to Young Living!
During my time at the University of Westminster in London, I decided to link psychology with the study on therapeutic properties and uses of essential oils. It was here that I discovered that even the most expensive brands that were available at university did not produce essential oils that actually truthfully resembled the smell of the original plant. (God knows what else did not truthfully resemble the quality of a 100 percent pure, therapeutic grade oil).I was/am clear on using essential oils throughout all my psychological and mental wellbeing support with my clients. I was/am clear on the fact that traditional psychotherapeutic talk therapy was not enough to break through trauma barriers. Memory is held on a whole body cellular level, not just in brain circuits and the subconscious. Traditional psychotherapeutic talk therapy can run the risk of re-traumatising clients, by creating fresh neurological pathways reinforcing the old. I personally prefer the holistic whole person wellness approach with Neuro Linguistic Programming, Matrix Reimprinting using EFT tapping, Positive Psychology, Chakra Balancing, plus exploring the Quantum Field and Akashic Records.
It was only when I was introduced to really pure and authentic essential oils that I was satisfied to be willing to use those oils on my own family and my clients. 'Seed to Seal®' standard which is a rigorous quality control standard to help ensure Young Living essential oils and oils infused products meet strict specifications.
Not only do they triumph in their organic bio-chemical purity and top therapeutic grade, but they are so fine in their molecular structure that they are able to permeate the so-called 'blood-brain-barrier' to give the necessary support needed.
If that was not good enough, those oils and especially their carefully crafted blends, grouping selected oil essences for specific benefits, have been tested for their energetic vibrational quality. For those of you who are knowledgeable about energy medicine and energy psychology, this is very good news indeed!
Apart from using the oils as a powerful support adjunct tool in my private psychology practice, I use them daily at home and when I travel. My grandchildren were raised on them from birth, and I happily use them with my little dogs when necessary. Plus, because of the alive vibration energetics of the oils, I also enjoy them as part of the more esoteric alternative health modalities.
To me, the oils of this company really resonates with my standards and values!
