Midori Kameoka was born in Japan and has lived her whole her life in Tokyo. She graduated from collage in British Columbia in Canada (BC) in business and financing in 1988. After graduating she worked for an American corporation in Tokyo for 15 years.
While she enjoyed the challenges of a business life her heart often thought of the natural beauty that she witnessed in Canada and the healing properties of plants. She began to follow her heart and discovered healing through aromatic plants and registered for an Aromatherapy intensive course by Michael Scholes in Hong Kong in 1996. She continued to study and attended Michael’s Aromatherapy 300 hour diploma course in 1997 in New York City. Midori successfully graduated and enrolled in additional aromatherapy specialty courses on Subtle Aromatherapy, Five Elements, Chakra Healing and Effective Blending Methods for Personal Blending. She has studied aromatherapy world wide with internationally recognized teachers that include Debbie Freund, Jane Buckle, Suzanne Catty and leading French aromatherapy doctor, Dr Daniel Penoel. Her commitment has included attending several aromatherapy conferences in the US and UK.
Besides being an expert in aromatherapy, Reki master, Midori is a yoga instructor and has practiced Ashtanga Yoga since 2002 and has visited Mysore in India and has had professional training in New Zealand from John Scott in 2008/2009 (TTL1 & 2).
Midori integrates aromatherapy, yoga and vegetarian cooking into her daily life and for the past seven years she has been teaching, practicing and healing with aromatherapy with all her clients operating from a small shop, school, cafe and salon in Nihonbashi.
In July 2010, after 15 years of operating her healing practice, Midori decided to relocate to Minami-aoyama and open “Argutha” in an authentic 4th floor house that has offers a Yoga Studio, Aromatherapy Salon & School, Vegetarian and Natural Cafe & Lounge Bar and Shop.
