Kirsty Schofield – EarthSynergy’s owner/operator
Hi, my name is Kirsty Schofield. I established my business EarthSynergy in 2005 when I returned to New Zealand after living abroad for 8 years. My first experience with associating crystals with healing came when I was doing care work in a magical part of England. My client was a lovely lady called Tisha who was recovering from having a cancerous breast lump removed. As soon as I met Tisha I loved her. She had a magical ethereal quality about her and was very open minded when it came to holistic healing. Tisha and her husband Jeremy lived in a lovely cottage that also had its own little forest attached to it, which I believe also had resident Fairies, and was one of my inspirations for Fairy Treasures.
During caring for Tisha, on a trip to town, the smell of incense drew me into a quaint crystal shop. I asked the sales assistant if she was aware of any crystals that could be used for healing after having a cancerous tumor removed. After consulting with her crystal book, she located a quartz cluster and said that Tisha should wear it close to her wound during her recovery period. I took the crystal to Tisha, who was so incredibly moved by this gesture. She wore it next to her wound day and night until it healed. She had a genuine belief that this crystal helped her and I believe in turn that this hastened her recovery. Once she had no more need for its healing properties, I made this very special crystal into a necklace for her, which she loved wearing. This lady is very special to my heart and we still keep in touch all these years later.
A few years after that I was visiting Thailand and came across a stall in the Chatuchak markets. I was mesmerized by the crystal beads in one stall that were all hanging in strands from every available piece of wall. I bought as many strands of crystal beads as I could afford at the time. Among my selection was Tigers Eye, which I was intensely drawn to – despite not normally being attracted to gold and brown colours. I got home from my trip and felt compelled to make myself a necklace solely out of the Tigers Eye beads, and I felt the NEED to wear this necklace solidly for about 6 months. During this time I discovered Judy Hall’s Book ‘The Crystal Bible’ and when I looked at the healing properties of Tigers Eye, It made ABSOLUTE sense that I was so attracted to this crystal – its healing properties were EXACTLY what I was needing at the time!
I became fascinated with the concept that each magical crystal has a distinct set of healing properties. According to folklore, each crystal has its own set of healing properties, whether physical, mental or spiritual. These are not exclusive to each crystal however and so I had the opportunity to combine crystals to make POWERHOUSE crystal combinations for specific ailments/issues. I utilize mostly the information in Judy Hall’s Crystal Bible for my crystal healing information, and I take pride in providing this information with each crystal product I sell.
My original vision was to make ‘Purposeful Jewellery’ where I combined crystals in necklaces for a specific purpose. We still do a range of purposeful jewellery, but these look different to the original jewellery we produced.
A few years down the track our focus have moved more into loose tumbled crystal blends, which can be placed in your environment, carried around on your person or used in crystal therapy to treat the body holistically, and ensure all round wellbeing. Each crystal blend or piece of jewellery comes with a booklet, and many of our them also come with affirmation rituals so you can be in the best possible space to manifest what it is you are trying to achieve, whether that be attracting abundance, soothing anxiety or support during the difficult time of grieving.
In 2010 I had my identical twins boys Max & Toby. As a natural progression I started importing genuine amber teething necklaces from Lithuania which borders the Baltic Sea. I had Max wearing the dark cherry teething necklace and Toby wore the Cognac, which helped people tell them apart!
These days I have a bigger range of different amber teething necklaces and bracelets which includes, polished amber, raw amber and also polished amber with crystals which bring their own healing properties to benefit the babies.
When warmed on the skin, Amber is said to release trace amounts of Succinic Acid- which is a natural plant component known for its analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties. This makes it an ideal holistic approach for teething babies.
Worn for centuries in Europe as a natural remedy for pain relief, Amber is said to help calm and soothe a teething baby whilst also promoting a stronger immunity to common infection, plus assisting general well-being.
We also have massage crystals and Yoni eggs which by design of their shape, serve their own special purpose.
Our only non crystal products are our range of stainless steel memorial keepsakes.
Each have space for a small amount of cremation ash or keepsake, providing a tasteful and special talisman for anyone that has lost a loved one. I am so humbled with the feedback about how these memorials have helped people through the very difficult time of grieving.
I look forward to expanding my knowledge of crystals and applying this to enhance our health holistically – physically, emotionally, mentally & spiritually.
