My name is Eileen, signifying 'light,' in Irish, a fitting reflection of my affinity with crystals, giving birth to Crysto.light.
In 2018, at age 30 after finally having the courage to move out of a chaotic home, I started renting. I did not have a lot of savings nor I was earning a lot. But I know that something had to change, even if it means that I had to downgrade my lifestyle.
Despite changing my environment, what I did not realized was that, I was in survival mode all those years. I wasn't living, instead I brought all that trauma and pain with me.
I then sought self help in the form of books like 'Atomic Habits', James Clear & 'The Untethered Soul' - Michael. Singer. It was also during that phase of my life where I did a mid career switch and met 2 wonderful bosses that played a big part in my paradigm shift.
Being encouraged to pick up a meditation practice was one of the most crucial turning points for me. It wasn't until July 2020 that I experienced a transformative Reiki session, igniting a profound shift within me.
The true turning point arrived in November 2020 when I turned to Meditation, Reiki and Crystals to navigate the challenges of a lung cancer diagnosis. From then on, my life took a new direction.
I was fortunate to undergo a minor lung procedure without needing chemotherapy. It took approximately eight months for me to fully recover and regain the ability to jog and climb again.
Experiencing the fragility of life firsthand, I felt immensely grateful to simply breathe and be alive. This profound realization shifted my trajectory. I made the decision to leave my full-time marketing job and prioritize living a life aligned with my true desires.
My newfound perspective drives me to embrace every moment and live life to the fullest.

What started as a personal page to share my crystal collection on Instagram in November 2020 evolved into Crysto.light, inspired by my firsthand experiences of how Meditation, Reiki, and Crystals bolstered my mental health during periods of surgery and recovery.
My upbringing immersed in natural crystals, courtesy of my mother's passion, coupled with hands-on experience gained in my 20s managing my father's business—particularly handling crystal corporate awards—deepened my understanding and proficiency in this field.
At one juncture, my extensive knowledge and hands-on experience with crystals even earned me the playful moniker "Crystal Princess."
Having grappled with clinical depression and anxiety since childhood, within an environment lacking understanding and support, my journey has been an uphill battle. Compounded by a family history of mental illness and upbringing in a dysfunctional household, my adolescence and early adulthood, typically perceived as carefree and prime, were instead marked by reliance on antidepressants and seeking psychiatric assistance.
With limited resources for professional help and confronting stigma from those closest to me back then, reaching this point of strength, wisdom, and happiness seems surreal at times.
However, standing here today, I am resolute in my commitment to offer support to young individuals navigating similar challenges. One meaningful way to offer support is by making a monthly contribution to organizations like Limitless, (https://www.limitless.sg) which aid youths struggling with mental illness. Platforms like Give.asia (https://give.asia/) provide a convenient avenue for donating to causes that resonate with you.
I encourage you to consider contributing because, as Oscar Wilde aptly said, "The smallest act of kindness is worth more than the grandest intention."
I am deeply invested in sharing my insights on holistic practices beyond mere commerce. My interests span Meditation, Reiki, Crystal work, Health, Nutrition, and Fitness, all of which I advocate for their transformative effects on well-being.
In my free time, I revel in the joys of reading, rock climbing, conquering mountain peaks, and finding peace through yoga, all while staying active. I also find great pleasure in reading, writing, crafting, and nurturing my indoor garden. Fueling my journey is an insatiable curiosity cultivated since childhood, driving me to explore Astrology, Ba Zi, and other esoteric sciences through self-study.
My commitment to spreading positivity and nurturing healing goes beyond financial gain. It's about empowering others to embrace holistic wellness and find fulfillment in their lives.
Practicing self-care and seeking professional medical advice when needed is crucial for maintaining optimal health. In addition to using crystals for healing, it is also important to practice self-care on a daily basis. This includes regular exercise, eating a balanced and nutritious diet, getting enough sleep, and engaging in activities that bring joy and fulfillment.
By caring for ourselves physically and emotionally, we can help promote balance and harmony in our energy system, leading to a more fulfilling and joyful life.
