自然の贈りものである植物が、健やかな心と身体を育むために、いかに大切なものか。それを理解するための鍵を、私は、みなさまにお渡ししたいと思うのです。
この度みなさまに、長年培ってきた知識と経験を伝え、そして、そこから生まれた製品をご紹介できることを、たいへん嬉しく思っています。

日本でも、ここ数年で、アロマセラピーが広く知られるようになり、日々の暮らしに取り入れる方もふえたと伺いました。けれどその半面、情報網と流通の発達した国ならではの現象もあるとか。イメージや、モノとしてのアロマオイルだけが独り歩きし、その理論や正しい利用法が充分に伝わっていないのでは、というお話もお聞きしました。
日本の多くの方々が、もしも思いこみや誤った知識のもとに利用しているとしたら、それは、とても残念なことです。
言うまでもなく、本来アロマセラピーは、医療の現場でも用いられる自然療法。
正しい知識を身につけた専門家によってなされる“セラピー=癒し”なのですから。

このような現状を踏まえ、もういちど原点に立ち戻って学び、経験を積み、人々の役に立ちたい。
そう望んでいるセラピストの方々に、私は協力を惜しみません。
そして、私の理論やテクニックに共感し、習得していただけたなら、それは、たいへん幸せなことです。

アロマセラピーは、人々を健やかに美しく導くもの。
そして、その素晴らしさを知り伝えていくことは、自然の営みと寄りそいながら生きること。
みなさまに生涯学習をすすめるように、私自身も、一生、学ぶことをやめません。
自然には、まだまだ未知のことがたくさんあるのですから。

日本のアロマセラピストのみなさま、そして、これからセラピストを目指すみなさま。
私とともに、この自然の贈りものを大切にしながら、人々に、うるおいのある豊かな暮らしをとどけていきませんか。

Eve Taylor

Seventy-two-year-old Eve Taylor broke the mould when she launched her own business during the 1960s.

Eve Taylor Aromatherapy was the brainchild of the entrepreneurial mother-of-five who was determined to bring a little femininity into her male-dominated world more than 36 years ago.

She started the business in 1968 to satisfy the demand for quality aromatherapy products, within what was then a niche market. In fact, her first salon in London was opened by long-standing Coronation Street actor Johnny Briggs, alias Mike Baldwin.

Eve Taylor Aromatherapy oils are now used all over the world to relax, stimulate, detox, soothe sensitive skin and sore muscles and for bubble baths, freshening up and many other uses.

Today the company has grown to become the leader of the aromatherapy market, while Eve has become the doyenne of the profession.

She is so committed to impeccable quality that the standards of her products have practically become industry standard benchmarks.

Originally based in South London, Eve also owned and ran hair and beauty salons together with a health food store. As interest in aromatherapy and natural products grew, many saw Eve as the forerunner, and as the company expanded, it eventually outgrew its premises and relocated to Werrington, Peterborough, in the early '90s.

The company now employs 10 people from the Peterborough area, and enjoys an annual turnover of between £600,000 and £800,000.

It was Eve's concern for standards of training and knowledge of aromatherapy professionals together with her reputation as a teacher of aromatherapy which led her to establish the Institute of Clinical Aromatherapy in 1981, which is registered with the Aromatherapy Organisations Council.

Not only does Eve devote time to the Institute of Clinical Aromatherapy, but she has been co-chief examiner for the City & Guilds of

London Institute for Beauty Therapy, the first Secretary of Education for the Confederation of Beauty Therapy and Cosmetology (BABTAC) and the chairman of BABTAC.

She has also written a book on Face, Figure and Fashion, all about skincare for school leavers, and spent years lecturing about healthy skin.

Even now, more than three decades on, Eve remains as dynamic and impassioned as ever, travelling the world training and teaching others.

Her dedication has earned her a Lifetime Achievement Award this year from Dermalogica and the International Dermal Institute, for her contribution to the beauty industry.

And Eve had words of encouragement for women in Peterborough who want to embark on the challenge of a lifetime.

She said: "Go for it. Be prepared to study

"I'm still studying now. And be prepared to put yourself out and to work hard.

"I work seven days most weeks, but I love my work and I love my life.

"Unfortunately, there are now so many new rules,

regulations and directives coming from Brussels. It all means a lot of red tape for people setting up a business.

"But setting up my business was one of the best things I've done in my life. Running a business can be a straight road at times, and at others times the road may criss-cross. But you have to take the good with the bad. It's certainly worth it."
