Where Japanese wisdom meets Scandinavian clarity
Searching for your ikigai (life purpose)? Looking for a mindfulness practice like shinrin-yoku (forest bathing)? You’ve come to the right place! Drawing on my blend of Japanese sensitivity combined with Scandinavian pragmatism, I provide an authentic, simple and sustainable space where you can identify what is truly important to you.
Born and raised in Japan, having studied in the US, worked and lived in Sweden, I have naturally developed my intercultural resilience. While appreciating everyone’s differences, I help to find common ground. This has helped me to overcome the challenges in leading international, multi-stakeholder initiatives.
With my background in social sustainability, anthropology and animistic practices (mindfulness), I bring a unique perspective to conversations. I raise awareness of the biases you have acquired from your family, culture, and society, and help you find your authentic voice to express what you really want and need.
Be the captain of your own ship
I am neither a doctor nor a teacher. I don’t have a remedy or answer that is best for you. However, I do know that you are the only person who can find the solution you need.
What I offer are one-to-one coaching sessions. Each session comprises a confidential, focused, in-depth conversation centring on you within a defined timeframe. The agenda varies from client to client. Sessions can be 30, 60 or 90 minutes long. You and your coach will meet regularly, once a week, bi-weekly or as you choose.
Whatever your goal, the process revolves around exploring and realigning yourself. The coach’s role is to remind you of your insights and encourage you to make decisions and take action. However, all this is wasted if you don’t commit to taking the helm of your own life.

Clients’ Voice
Already within 3 weeks of starting our sessions I saw real progress! I bought a house which I had been wanting to do for the last 7 years! She helped me draw up a plan and put it into action immediately, I had no idea my possibilities were just right around the corner. ⎯ Anna, Sweden
心の真ん中にあった、大きな固い真っ黒な岩が砕け散ったことは衝撃でした。⎯ 亜紀子、日本
Kazumi has the wonderful gift of holding space for the client while asking important guiding questions. The process stripped down my ideas only to the essential, and messy situations became clear. ⎯ Lin, China
わかっていたようで自分のことをわかっておらず、カズミさんからいただく質問で私自身を振り返ることができ、反映していただくことで周りを見渡し、より深く物事を考えることができました。⎯ 朋子、日本
What I appreciated the most was the feeling of safety during the sessions where we sometimes touched on delicate and difficult topics. Kazumi has a deep and profound universal knowledge, this makes her very calm and present in the sessions. I felt safe and it made me able to open up even more which led to deep teachings. ⎯ Marisol, Italy
