About Us

Essential Survival Founder — Julie Behling-Hovdal, MA

Julie Behling-Hovdal founded Essential Survival in 2010 with the goal of helping as many people as possible be equipped to take care of their health on a daily basis, as well as in times of chaos when drugs and Western medicine might not be as readily available.

Julie’s passion for helping people be more empowered to take care of their health developed after she experienced a debilitating autoimmune illness over a six-year period and was able to have her health restored through lifestyle changes and products from Young Living Essential Oils back in 2005.  She had a wake-up call concerning the need for preparedness in 2008, and immediately began to see how even a basic kit of essential oils from Young Living could benefit every family.

Essential Survival combines the effectiveness and purity of essential oils from Young Living with Julie’s passion for and extensive knowledge on both natural healing and disaster preparedness.

Rebecca Potter –  a Master Herbalist and assistant extradinaire — and Rhetta Hovdal — shipping manager and Julie’s amazing husband — round out the Essential Survival Team!
