Kyoko's Background: Swapping Petroleum for Healing Oils
Tired of the corporate world despite the big bucks, Kyoko Saeki abandoned a lucrative career as an oil broker to answer a calling to become a healer of tired bodies and minds. In 1997, she was ending her career in the oil industry after realizing that her soul purpose was to provide a safe place for people to transform their minds and bodies through aromatherapy.
As a broker, she worked long hours and negotiated naphtha and petroleum contracts under tremendous stress. Even after work hours she found herself mentally preoccupied with numbers and obsessed with the ups and downs of the crude markets. As the stress weakened her immune system, visiting the doctor every month either for flu or persistent headaches became a part of her life. She kept Panadol on her office desk so she could reach out for them when headaches struck especially since she had to negotiate with traders on the telephone for hours.
Then she discovered essential oils. She stumbled upon the oils when her friend who had just returned from England gave some to her as a souvenir. Struck by the positive effect the oils had in altering her mood, she found herself less irritated and better able to concentrate on work as her headaches alleviated.
Around the same time, she enrolled in “Pathways to Wholenessâ€, a spiritual and self-realization course at The Work Sanctuary. Having had enough of nine years in the petroleum industry, which she felt was characterized by pressure, stress and a widespread penchant for money and materialism, she chanced upon a life-transforming opportunity through her delightful experience with essential oils.
Armed with three diplomas in aromatherapy/anatomy, physiology and massage/ reflexology, she set up Healing Gardens, a holistic healing centre, in 1999. The Aromatherapy centre was the realization of her dream to offer a safe haven in which people could transform their minds and bodies. “I wanted for those who came to the centre to experience a bliss-consciousness, which is very important for our well-being,†says Kyoko.
Her early years of practice as Aromatherapist also helped her to write Hormonal Balancing Programme to share her knowledge with her co-therapists, which they could then use to treat women during and after pregnancy. When she launched her Aromatherapy practice, she attracted many women who were suffering from irregular menstruation, cramps during menstruation, infertility, PMS, menopause. She experienced unexpected yet wonderful results in restoring the hormonal balance of many women so that they could have children they desired.
After obtaining her certification from the Upledger Institute, Kyoko began using Craniosacral Therapy (CST) to treat special needs children in 2002. Within 3 months she was treating 50 children weekly. As a result she was rewarded by witnessing many miracles. She also helped many children and adults who could not cope with their stress at school and workplace. Their problems manifested in physical problems such as insomnia, migraines, unbearable pain in the body. Subsequently, Kyoko also decided to share her abundant knowledge of CST methods with others and introduced her CST Workshops.
Today, Kyoko and her team at Healing Gardens combine customized essential oil blends, Lymphatic Drainage Therapy (LDT) and Kyoko’s specialized CranioSacral Therapy (CST) techniques to help restore perfect health to each individual.
