We're thrilled that this convention was not only a launch of inspiring new initiatives and products, but a chance for all of us to provide meaningful service together," said David Stirling, founding executive, chairman and CEO at doTERRA. "This year's convention 'You' theme speaks to what I admire most about the people of doTERRA: our love of others and commitment to share and give back. It also gave us the opportunity to thank our incredible Wellness Advocates. We could not accomplish all that we have without their continued drive to share our essential oils with the world."

At the convention, doTERRA launched doTERRA Healthcare, a new initiative focused on helping medical providers take an integrative approach to keep their patients healthy and thriving. Through this innovative movement, doTERRA announced the groundbreaking of its flagship clinic located at doTERRA headquarters and plans to build and/or partner with integrative medical clinics around the United States.
