Story & Credentials
A Life in Motion.
1,000+ Lives Transformed.
I was born in Nagasaki, Japan — and by 17, I was training at the Princess Grace Ballet Academy in Monaco, then in Paris, pursuing my dream of becoming a professional ballet dancer. At 20, I made a sharp turn: moved to the U.S., studied business at Fort Lewis College in Colorado, and graduated as a Dean's List Honor Student. From there, I worked in Tokyo's corporate world before spending over a decade in Hawaii running real estate — leading 50+ investment and development projects, handling everything from design to logistics, and earning my Hawaii real estate license along the way. In 2018, I stepped out on my own. Five trips to India deepened my study of consciousness-based practices at their source.
Since going independent, I've worked with over 12,000 people — executives, doctors, lawyers, investors, athletes — through seminars, online courses, executive retreats, and more than 1,000 one-on-one sessions. My first book became a bestseller in Japan. I've led seminars across Hawaii, Tokyo, Fukuoka, and Nagano, and hosted three executive retreats.
And I'm still at it. In 2025, my family and I sailed from Greece across the Mediterranean and the Atlantic on a 58-foot catamaran. Still out here — still teaching, still learning.

Real Stories, Real Change
From books, coaching, courses, and meditation — hear how people's lives actually changed
This book genuinely changed my life. After reading it, things started falling into place in ways I didn't expect. If you're struggling or searching for something more — read this. It changed my heart, and I think it could change yours too.
I hadn't cried in years. This book took me somewhere deep inside myself I didn't know was there. When I finally let go of what I'd been holding, something opened up — and for the first time in years, I cried. It felt like coming alive again.
Through coaching, I realized how much of my life had been shaped by my father's expectations. The real lesson was learning to let go — to stop doing things I didn't need to do. Life got lighter. My decisions got clearer. Business actually got easier.
Nami doesn't just teach this stuff — she lives it. You can feel it in her voice, her energy, even through a screen. There's a warmth and authenticity that makes you trust the process. She made me feel supported from the very first lesson.
This helped me understand why I'd been so caught up in myself. It reminded me how important it is to just slow down and look inward. Grateful for this.
I've struggled with insomnia for a long time. Nami's guided meditation was the first thing that actually worked — I slept 7 hours straight. That had never happened before. Truly life-changing.
