My story
My story
My journey led me from depression, unhappiness and a very unwell body to feeling strong, healthy, happy and confident. I am now in my 40’s and feel better than ever.
I am Silke Whittaker and over the past 10 plus years I have been on a health and healing journey. I used to drink way too much alcohol, smoke sometimes up to 2 packets of cigarettes per day, I used to eat really unhealthy, I used way too many toxic body care products and when I looked in the mirror I didn’t like what I saw… I had a toxic body and a toxic mind and was completely lost in this world. In my late 20’s I had enough of my unhappy life in Germany, working in the corporate world and not knowing where I belong or why I am here or what I am supposed to be doing.
Fast forward and here we are. Today I am a yoga teacher and essential oil educator and a mother of 2 beautiful children. I live in Hawke’s Bay, New Zealand with my supportive husband Tim, who is a photographer.
Over those years I have struggled with many health issues, such as excema, recurring illness, severe migraines, pre-cancerous cells in my cervix, toxicity in my blood, food allergies…. Our firstborn had severe, re-occuring earaches when he was little. Our second child had daily tummy aches and so on. So over those 10 years I have tried lots of alternative tools to increase our families well being.
I am passionate about prevention, rather than treating illness. Prevention and conscious living can be your health insurance long term. What we see today in modern medicine is mostly suppression of symptoms with chemical substances. Not much of figuring out the underlying causes if the illness. I firmly believe alternative tools, like Acupuncture, Massage, Chiropractic, Cranio-Sacral Therapy, Homeopathy, Naturopathy, Herbs & Nutrition, Mindful Movement and Essential Oils can help us to maintain a good state of health from a young age.
This is why I am here – to help you on your own healing and health journey, to help you detox your body, mind and household.
This website is dedicated to my essential oil education. Over at heartspace.nz you can find all about my yoga teaching and sound healing with Tibetan Singing Bowls.

” Silke has been a wonderful mentor and leader. Simply watching her grow her business has been inspiration enough. But seeing how she incorporates the oils into her yoga business and into her family life has really provided me with fantastic knowledge and ideas. “

What can I do for you?
Interested to use the essential oils and products?
Usually I meet with people that are interested to start their own doTERRA journey for around 30 minutes to hour to find the best products and essential oils to support you and/or your family. This consultation is free of charge and there is no pressure to purchase.
Interested in the business opportunity?
When I first started using the essential oils in my yoga studio I never had the intention to sell them. However lots of people do ask me about the products and I became to passionate about the doTERRA products that I decided to partner with doTERRA. If you are interested in distributing the oils and helping more families to experience the benefits of these oils I can help you get started.
Ongoing free support & education!
One of the best things about doTERRA is the ongoing support you receive from me personally and also from our wider team and worldwide network of individuals, families and businesses who use these products on a daily basis. I have leared so much not only product related, but also personal coaching that is at times provided free of charge in the forums. You don’t receive free education and support when you purchase a product off the shelf. This benefit has really blown me away when I first started and my learning is continuing on a daily basis. I have now created my own facebook group “Heartspace Essentials” to which you will get access once you join my team.
