Where it all began...

Deborah Lahman

August 27, 1953, ~ November 27, 2022

Deborah intuitively and intentionally designed her life around her dreams and goals since childhood, with God as her guide. She, alongside her husband, children, and their spouses and children, founded the Living Well Now community that we love today.

 In her mid-50’s, Deborah retired from public education and began her encore career as a Young Living Essential Oils Brand Partner. This dynamic business owner, motivational speaker, and team-builder extraordinaire never stopped offering herself to her Living Well Now team as a generous leader, sparkling visionary, legacy builder and prayer warrior. 

She passed from her earthly life on November 27, 2022, surrounded by her family in Carlsbad, California. 

One of Deborah’s early dreams in the early 1980s was to learn more about holistic health. She was an informal student of many prevention and intervention strategies over the years that were an integral part of the family’s health and wellness journey. She also started to look for the opportunity to create and actively participate in several business endeavors as a family.

Another of Deborah’s dreams was to be a school counselor. She served as an intervention specialist for 16 years in public schools. Some of her favorite lessons to teach were “Managing Your Feelings In Positive Ways”; “Building Your Self-Esteem Through Cooperation And Respect For Others”; and “Creating A Learning Environment Of TEAM (Together Everyone Accomplishes More).”

Young Living came into her life in 2006, when she was beginning the peri-menopause stage of life.  In addition to regular chiropractic care, healthy nutrition and reducing stress, the hormone balancing properties of Young Living essential oils made a huge difference in her life. She became an avid YL product user from that moment on, and gave her children their first oils as Christmas gifts to introduce them to the company.

A few years later, with her business owner skillset fully engaged and by enlisting the support of her daughter-in-love Andrea and daughter Angela, they created Living Well Now, undergirded by quality, plant-based products from Young Living.  In their early years with YL, the business maintained a huge emphasis on teaching the health benefits of the products. 

In the summer of 2012, they launched their system to the masses, with boldness to teach people the business opportunity with a duplication system. Inspired by YL leaders, mindset and motivation coaches, and thought leaders, the Living Well Now team expanded its reach to include leaders across the US and beyond. They expertly combined health/wellness passion, business owner knowledge, and Deborah’s basic counseling strategies to teach, empower, and equip women and men to fulfill their dreams of becoming financially independent through network marketing and Young Living.

Living Well Now Foundation

Together with their son Aaron, they created the Living Well Now Foundation. Deborah and John purchased a home in Carlsbad, California for the purpose of hosting workshops, and retreats in the vacation home. They envisioned the property being a forever place for wellness expansion and to make these experiences accessible to all.

The ongoing work of Living Well Now is continued by John and the children undergirded by their 7 Principles Of Prosperity, the family’s commitment to sharing abundant blessings and being good stewards of God’s resources.
