Sloane Stephens is not your average 25 years old.

She became a professional tennis player in 2009 and ended up winning the junior French, Wimbledon and US Open doubles titles in 2010. Since then, she has reached the semifinals at Australia (2013), the quarters at Wimbledon (2013) and the fourth round of the French and US Opens. She also won four professional tournaments throughout 2015-2016. We’re honored to team up with the 2017 US Open champion in our performance advocate program! In 2016, Sloane took a leave from the tour to recover from a serious foot injury. She says it was difficult to take a break from the sport. She wanted to compete, but she needed to recover. Once she was fully healed, she made it back into the tour and won the 2017 US Open! Something that she had always dreamed of. As a professional athlete, Sloane does a lot of traveling. In one year, she went from (NAME CITIES SHE VISITED). By the time she returned home, she found that she was having trouble falling to sleep. Her mother suggested that she try using doTERRA’s Lavender essential oil. Lavender essential oil is often considered a must-have oil to keep on hand at all times due to its versatile uses, including calming and relaxing properties that promote peaceful sleep and ease feelings of tension. Sloane had tried almost everything to help her rest, so she was elated to find that the Lavender oil worked! Ever since then, Sloane has been enjoying the benefits of essential oils. She shares them with nearly everyone she meets!
