About Me.
Since childhood, I have been on a profound journey of self-discovery—seeking not just my voice, but the unshakable foundation of my own self-worth. Life, in all its complexity, became both my teacher and my canvas. As I raised my family and navigated diverse professional landscapes, this inner quest only deepened, revealing the intricate connection between personal transformation, spiritual depth, and the courage to live authentically.
Now, at the enriching age, I step forward with the wisdom, skills, and purpose cultivated through decades of growth, challenges, and spiritual practice.
I understand what it means to question, to evolve, to yearn for something deeper—and I know the beauty of finding clarity, alignment, and true presence.
I integrate the science of well-being with the depth of spiritual tools. My lifelong journey as a dedicated Buddhist practitioner and certified Ikebana instructor has further shaped my approach, blending mindful living with the art of intentional creation. This fusion allows me to offer a coaching experience that is both grounded and transcendent, guiding you to cultivate inner stillness while stepping boldly into your soul’s purpose.
My mission is simple yet profound: to help you live a soul-driven life—one that is rooted in authenticity, deeply connected to the larger source (regardless of one's religious denominations), and aligned with purpose and intention. Together, we will dissolve limiting patterns, strengthen your autonomous self, and empower you to make decisions from a place of inner wisdom. Whether you are seeking clarity, emotional freedom, or a deeper spiritual connection, I am here to guide you toward a life that feels not just successful, but truly meaningful, liberated, and aligned with who you are at your core.
This is your journey—one of self-discovery, transformation, and awakening. And I am honored to walk beside you.
On a personal note, I am originally from Japan, of half Japanese and half Korean heritage, and now a U.S. citizen. I came to the U.S. for college at 18, where I earned my academic degrees and credentials while raising a family and building a diverse career. I am a proud mother of two sons and have been sharing life’s journey with my beloved partner, Tim, for nearly 20 years.
