EMBRACE THE PATH OF RAISING YOURSELF

My early years in Japan were very similar to the experiences of many other immigrant mothers. I put my children first and tried to create a safe environment for them while navigating cultural differences every day. I quickly realized that adapting to a new culture and improving my quality of life required both study and discipline. It has been an amazing journey!

It's been filled with challenges, but I've loved every minute of it! During those early years, my body went through some hormonal changes - I lost weight and muscle mass and dealt with high levels of stress and anxiety. But I found a way to deal with my stress and anxiety. As a form of therapy, I started working out at home (I still can't help but smile when I think of doing push-ups with my 3-year-old son on my back). I've always been active, ever since I was young, from practicing martial arts to working out at the gym. I was so committed to getting stronger, balancing my hormones, and managing my stress better. That was the first step in what has now become my life's work.

Over the next four years, I eagerly pursued academic training, becoming a certified personal trainer, furthering my studies in sports nutrition, and specializing in gluteal training. It wasn't long before I was captivated by bodybuilding and started competing. It's been such an incredible journey, opening doors for me and connecting me with amazing friends from all over the world.

Years later, with my children growing up, my Japanese improving, new friendships with like-minded people, years of training experience behind me, and successful competitions under my belt, I transitioned fully into personal training. I'm so proud to say that I've become the trainer I wished I'd had when I was just starting out.

Through my personal journey and helping others reach their goals, I've learned that achieving a healthy lifestyle doesn't require extremes. I'm all about open communication, proper technique, and sustainable habits that support both mind and body.

My ultimate goal is to use my knowledge and experience to help you build a balanced, long-term approach to fitness—one that fits your life in Japan or anywhere in the world. With perseverance and a positive mindset, lasting change is absolutely possible, and I can’t wait to help you achieve your fitness goals!
