About Me

I am Akiko, born in 1970 in Tokyo, Japan. I grew up surrounded by my parents and two siblings, laying the foundation for self-discovery and exploration. In 1996, I moved to the United States, initiating a series of adventures that would take me across the globe, from The Netherlands to Saudi Arabia, Jordan, UAE, Bahrain, and Tanzania. I am currently settled in Nairobi, Kenya, alongside my husband, Daniel, and our son, Toma. My academic pursuits led me to major in Dance, a field that allowed me to express my deepest passions through the art of movement. Throughout my life, I was drawn to the intricate connections between mind, body, and soul, influenced by my maternal roots in Okinawa. During my college years, I encountered a transformative professor who introduced me to a new perspective on life and ignited my interest in holistic healing practices.
My innate desire is to help alleviate others' pain and facilitate healing which led me to explore various healing modalities. This culminated in my decision to pursue formal education as a Holistic Health Practitioner at the International Professional School for BodyWork in San Diego. There, I delved into various Eastern and Western healing methods, including massages, somatic psychology, trauma work, emotional release, Tai Qi, Qigong, yoga, and energy healing. Since then, I've remained committed to my personal growth and professional development journey, continuously seeking new modalities and expanding my awareness. Drawing upon my evolving intuition, I guide clients through transformative experiences, assisting them in accessing their core issues and facilitating integration, shift, and energy alchemy with newfound awareness. My approach encompasses various modalities, including intuitive readings, guided meditations, movement therapy, yoga, Qigong, and subconscious belief shifting, offered through individual sessions, workshops, and group experiences. With each interaction, I aim to empower others to embody their true essence and elevate their consciousness to lead fulfilling lives.

"I have had a few sessions with Akiko and I always feel emotionally “re-aligned” after seeing her. The sessions help me regain clarity, and lift the mental fog that my monkey brain can cause. Akiko had been transformative in making me feel calmer and more centered. It’s a true healing experience."

“Akiko, in the last weeks has supported me, in the journey both physical and internal, through her guidance, excercises, workshops, aromatherapy, she has become a key part, of my process to find a better and more contained self. Her approach and techniques are assisting me in finding a balance, I was logging for some time.
Tomoko

"I have worked with Akiko many times, and I keep returning in part because of her ability to reach my inner child. At our very first session Akiko noticed that my inner 10-year-old wanted attention and wanted to become an active participant in my adult life. In a sense, my inner child wanted to be free and bring back playfulness and infuse more creativity into the work I did. Soon after this first session I started a project that has had great flow, and I was able incorporate humour and whimsy into the serious content I am teaching in a very productive way. Akiko’s ability to see my inner child and engage her has been a huge part of my personal growth in recent years. During every session now my 10-year-old has a role and invariably creative solutions and fun surface and unfold in my life as a result."

When I met Akiko I just had a feeling that working with her would be to my benefit. I remember opening my mouth that night and having the information flow from me, like water flowing in a river, I immediately felt comfortable and connected. That night we made a plan to see each other soon, which began our beautiful journey together.
Akiko’s healing sessions are truly inspired and cannot be summed up easily. She has helped me to understand myself deeply both physically and energetically, she has helped with ancestral patterns, and she has allowed me to shift the relationships I maintain with the spiritual world as well as those with family and friends.
She has helped me to embrace the notion of abundance and to understand that I am surrounded by it. I look forward to every session we have. Akiko’s work is gentle and kind but also incredibly powerful. I am grateful to have continued opportunities to work together and also to consider her a mentor.
