Welcome to Essential You

I believe we need to be an advocate for our own health. 

My name is Joanne Wilhelm and I own Essential You!

I live in Hanover, Ontario with my husband Bob.  I retired from my career as a hairstylist in 2016 so I could focus more on educating others with Natural Health options.

I started learning about natural health options when my husband was diagnosed with Muscular Dystrophy.  I was looking for something to support his symptoms and I found doTerra Essential Oils.  These precious oils are natures medicine and I couldn’t believe how effective they are without the side effects of medication.  This started me on a path to learn more about how our body can heal itself.

I have learned that when you put the body in the right environment, your body will heal.

The more I learned, the more I wanted to know. I have gone on to become certified in BodyTalk (a health care system), Reiki,  NLP, reflexology, access bars, ATT, just to name a few.  I have seen miraculous healing and my passion continues to thrive.

Essential You is committed to supporting health and wellness.

WHAT MY CLIENTS ARE SAYING

"Paloa is such an incredible and unique experience. When you have a question for them they make you think, feel and understand things from a totally unbiased perspective. They encourage you to dig deep within and they guide you as you navigate what comes up. They have so much wisdom to offer. After a session with Paloa I always feel lighter and my mind is clearer. They allow a safe space to ask the real questions(about anything)without being judged. Paloa has opened me up to a different way of viewing life. Thank you."

"Joanne has helped me and my family in more ways than she will ever know. Joanne's guidance, patience, knowledge and support is over and beyond (and that's an understatement.) She has taught and guided me through many transitions in my life and I am truly grateful for her and all she does."
A Pfeffer
"My first experience with Paloa was amazing, I wasn't sure what to expect...but the knowledge Paloa brought into the treatment had brought me emotions that moved me to have a greater peace within myself. Giving me another way of understanding who I am and what my greater good is. Teaching me our purpose here on earth, and giving me that brighter light to enjoy what's around me and to keep love, peace and support in my daily routine."

"For years, I struggled with anxiety, and panic attacks were something I dealt with almost every day. My nervous system felt like it was constantly on high alert, and I was exhausted from always being in survival mode. When my holistic doctor introduced me to essential oils, I was honestly very skeptical but thankfully I trusted her and decided to try them. I really didn't think that something that I thought just smelled nice could really help. Little did I know that what was in these little bottles was so much more than a nice scent. Over time, the oils became a consistent part of my daily routine and were the first thing I would reach for when I started to feel anxious. They helped calm my nervous system, helped me focus on my breath so I could relax and and quieted that constant monkey mind chatter that used to take over. I’m so grateful I gave them a chance, they’ve become one of my most supportive tools on my healing journey, and I can’t imagine my life without them now."

"Essential Oils have changed our family in so many ways. As a nurse working shift work, it's hard on you physically, mentally and emotionally. These healing oils have repaired and continue to repair my mind, body and soul from a normal and busy work day for a difficult/traumatic situation. Our children have benefited in various forms, healing from an illness, building up immunity, processing life transitions and just for pure comfort-they enjoy the smells and applying them, themselves. Recently my spouse has started applying topically and ingesting oils. Enjoying the benefits such as increase in energy and improvement in sore muscles. I highly recommend these oils almost daily to family, friends and coworkers. These oils are a staple in our household."

“I was diagnosed with brain cancer on April 1 2019. I had a stroke on the operating table. A month later I was diagnosed with neck cancer. I had six months of treatments at two different hospitals. Starting in February 2020 for 2 plus years I had seizures two to three times a month. My husband was diagnosed with cancer (stage 4 lung cancer) and he passed away on his 60th birthday in 2021. I was a mess!! Since coming to Joanne in January 2023, my speaking has been improving, because of the stroke I could not speak. It is almost a year since my last seizure. I am feeling so much better.

“I have had a couple of body talk sessions with Joanne. They are amazing. It’s hard to explain the shift of emotions and thinking that takes place. Joanne understands and explains things so that we can understand what is holding us back or creating unease within our bodies. Her intuitiveness and healing modality is absolutely mind blowing. Joanne has a vibrant personality she delivers information in a straightforward manner while still being respectful and kind. Leaving these sessions I have felt lighter mentally and have learned to look at life a little different. I can’t thank Joanne enough for sharing her abilities of healing with us.

“My son and I have had a profound experience with Joanne with much needed time of healing. Our lives had been turned upside down many times in my sons 25 long years here. We both suffered from mental illness and suicidal thoughts on a regular basis. We no longer feel this way. The best way i can describe myself is I feel balanced for the first time in my life. Physically as well as mentally.

My son has type 1 diabetes as well as kidney disease and mental health with a diagnosis at 9 years of age of ADD. After working with Joanne ,the kidney Dr. as well as the Diabetic team in London we have been blown away at his test results. The Dr. even said to my son you even look different. Friends and family have been asking why such a profound change . His reply was I guess I am happy. I have never felt that before. We both look forward to continuing our journey with Joanne. Neither of us will do life without Joanne. Best investment we ever made.”

“I initially had a session of body talk to help with my neck and back pain. It was incredible to have relief after just one session. I was so excited with my results that my wife booked a session to deal with knee and foot pain. After two sessions with my neck and back, and my wife’s one session with her foot pain, we were well on our way to feeling better. After a month or so, we booked a couples session. It was incredible to watch and receive the energy movement that Joanne performed on both myself and my wife. It’s so hard to describe, but you could picture and feel large amounts of negative energy leave your body during our non invasive sessions. Joanne’s ability to identify and help move the energy’s in our bodies was absolutely incredible. We felt so much at ease both during and after the sessions. Much more relaxed and more in tune with what our bodies were saying. Joanne is unbelievably talented and we are so very fortunate to have been helped by her. We look forward to involving body talk with Joanne in the future should our bodies need it! ”
Forever grateful,
Greg & Kim Wilhelm
