About ByAromatherapist 關於芳療師的精油生活

 

從工程師變成了芳療師 From Engineer to Aromatherapist

我從少數理料讀書成績優異,中學畢業後順理成章選擇了香港大學工程系並取得一級榮譽學士及碩士。大學畢業後當上了十年機電工程顧問,事業路途十分順景,並輕易取得香港及英國註冊工程師資格。但自從生了三個小朋友,覺得工作時間實在太長,每天放工回家後小朋友已經睡了,沒有時間跟他們相處,於是決定放棄高薪厚職當全職媽媽!

 

當媽媽後,發現最大的煩惱就是小朋友的健康及行為問題,他們上幼稚園時,每兩星期便看一次醫生,哥哥未病完到妺妹病,妺妹未病完又到弟弟病,有時候更傳染給我和工人姐姐。基本上整段幼稚園時間,我就在擔心丶無助及惶恐中渡過!

 

直到小朋友上了小學,機緣巧合下遇上了精油,我本身不認識芳療,認為那些香氣只可以令家居更舒適,或做spa時更放鬆!當朋友叫我買一套一千多元的精油產品連擴香機時,我認為價錢相宜,用來點綴家居也不錯!

 

豈料,原來芳療學問甚多,適當地使用精油可以有很多功效,例如増強免疫力,精神更集中,護膚 ,情緖舒緩等等數之不盡,亦自此之後,我們一家慢慢地遠離了醫生、診所及醫院!

 

作為工程師的我,當然想尋根究底,就這樣我便毅然修讀國際芳療師專業課程,並取得各不同資格,其後更到外國修讀芳療產品工藝師資格。把健康及興趣變成了工作,每日有充足時間陪伴家人,芳療師這份工作的確十分理想!

 

健康無價,大家也希望自己及身邊至愛的人身體健康,不受外來環境污染,我亦希望用自己的能力為大家推廣天然健康生活!

 

I was good at Math and Science when I was young. After graduating from high school, I chose to study Electrical and Electronic Engineering in the University of Hong Kong. I graduated my Bachelor and Master degree with First Class Honour. After my university graduation, I worked as a mechanical and electrical engineering consultant for ten years. My career path was very smooth and I easily obtained the qualifications of charted engineer in the United Kingdom & Hong Kong.

However, since the birth of my three children, it was hard to keep up with all the work. I rarely got to see my children due to my long working hours, so I decided to abandon my high-paying job to be a full-time mother!

Being a mother, my biggest stress was the health and behavior problems of my children. When they went to kindergarten, they had to visit the doctor every two weeks. My kids kept getting sick and took turns to be infected. My children's kindergarten years were basically torture to me. I felt helpless and terrified.

It was until my children went to primary school when I discovered essential oil. At that time, I knew nothing about Aromatherapy. I thought the most that aroma could do was to make my home with comfortable smelling or to make us feel relax during spa! When a friend asked me to buy a set of essential oils including a diffuser, I only thought that the price was fair and the diffuser might actually be nice to decorate my home!

To my surprise, proper use of essential oils can actually have amazing effects, such as boosting up your immune system, helping mental concentration, skin care, emotional ease etc. Since then, our family has slowly gotten away from doctors, clinics and hospitals!

As an engineer, I grew a habit of making a thorough understanding & investigation. That was why I decided to take an international aromatherapist professional course, and obtaining other qualifications. Later, I went overseas to study the qualifications of different aromatic products, handcrafts & art. Turning my passion into my career, I can still spend enough time with my family every day. I love this job!

Health is priceless. We also hope that the people around us and those we love are in good shape, away from any pollution. I wish to use my expertise to promote natural and healthy lives for everyone!
