About me
Hi there! I’m Michelle, the face of Essentially You. My journey isn’t your typical straight line; it’s more of a winding path that has taken me from the classroom to the emergency room, and finally, to holistic health and wellness.
Michelle Fulmer
From Teacher to Nurse to Wellness Advocate
My career began as a high school teacher, teaching Biology and Anatomy & Physiology. There was something incredibly rewarding about sparking curiosity in young minds about the wonders of the human body and the natural world. However, I felt a calling to be more directly involved in helping others, which led me to nursing. As a Registered Nurse (RN-BSN), I’ve worked in high-pressure environments like the ER, specialized areas like Endoscopy, ventured into IV Therapy, and even served in the Army Reserves until 2017. Each step on this journey has taught me the value of compassion, resilience, and the profound impact of proactive health care.
Story continues
My pivot toward holistic health and living a more natural and clean lifestyle began a few years ago when I became increasingly aware of the harmful ingredients lurking in many everyday products. This realization sparked a deep dive into the principles of clean living, the use and benefits of essential oils, and the things we can do to help ourselves live a healthier lifestyle.
My quest for a healthier, more natural lifestyle also emerged from battling gut health issues, anxiety, and depression, where traditional medicine fell short. Diving deeper into research, I discovered that enhancing my diet with cleaner choices, incorporating exercise into my daily routine, and scrutinizing product ingredients significantly alleviated my symptoms.
All this led to the creation of my first product: a nourishing face spray that embodied my belief in simplicity and purity. This was just the beginning of Essentially You, a labor of love where I could share my discoveries and creations with a wider community.
Living and Sharing a Healthier Lifestyle
While exploring this holistic, natural lifestyle, I felt compelled to share my knowledge and ongoing discoveries with others. Eager to guide people on how to embark on a similar journey, I decided to become a Functional Medicine Certified Health Coach (FMCHC) to officially support and educate others on where to begin.
