You Know Something Needs to Change

You're feeling a persistent ache, one that quietly dims your inner spark.

It's like no matter how hard you try, finding your true footing in life remains elusive.

You find yourself constantly giving, trying to be everything to everyone, hoping that it will fill the void inside.

Yet, despite your efforts, a sense of inner unrest lingers. Questions haunt you...

Am I broken? Misunderstood? Incapable of being loved?

But I want you to consider this: maybe you weren't born feeling this disconnect from your true self.

Perhaps, this feeling slowly crept in, unnoticed over the years.

Think back to your earliest memories. Were there moments your emotions were overlooked? Times when the nurturing you needed just wasn't there?

It's often in these overlooked childhood moments that seeds of doubt and disconnection are sown

The vibrant, imaginative, free-spirited child within you is still there, but years of adapting, masking your true self, and fearing judgment have left their mark.

These are not just passing scars - they are deep wounds that, if left unaddressed, continue to influence your life in subtle yet profound ways.

Could it be that these unresolved feelings, perhaps stemming from your childhood, are shaping your current experiences?

This isn't about assigning blame but about understanding the roots of these feelings.

And I totally understand that you want more than just coping strategies to paper over problems. You want real change, a way to heal from the inside out.

That’s why, together, we can gently uncover and illuminate these hidden parts of your story.

Together, we can help you reconnect with that carefree child within and reignite your inner light.

I've Walked This Hard Road - You’re No Longer Alone

Like you, I know what it's like to unconsciously carry old wounds no one can see. For so long, I coped by striving to be everything for everyone else.

But in time, I started to crumble, realizing something had to shift.

I really put in the effort to improve my relationships. I focused on better communication, expressing gratitude, planning quality time - thinking if I could just be ‘better’ in some way, it would help.

But no matter what self-help book, theory, affirmations, or rituals I tried - I still felt something vital was missing inside.

Those methods helped short-term, but I kept finding faults, almost without meaning to

It’s like I was fixing small stuff yet missing the big stuff underneath that really bothered me.

Desperate, I sought help.

Through my therapy sessions, I gained valuable insights, but I felt something was still missing - a deeper healing I longed for.

This led me to discover somatic therapy, a method that truly spoke to the core of my trauma. It was a revelation, not just in understanding but in feeling and healing.

The journey continues - I needed to apply these insights to my everyday life. Despite knowing my patterns, changing them was challenging, especially with the cultural backdrop of my upbringing in Japan, where family roles and parenting styles are rarely questioned.

Meanwhile, I encountered an evidence-based coaching method grounded in neuroscience and cognitive psychology. This approach taught me effective ways to leverage brain function, enhancing outcomes significantly.

As I transformed into my most authentic self, I uncovered my life's purpose - to be the compassionate guide for others I wish I had.

Now I want to share the gifts I've been given - so you no longer have to brace against storms alone.

My practice has grown internationally, serving clients in both the U.S. and Japan. With insights from working over 400 individuals, I've developed unique techniques, blending my 8 years of experience in psychotherapy with advanced somatic therapy and neuroscience-based coaching methods.

This approach not only helps you heal from painful experiences but also empowers you to create the life you truly desire.

Finally, you can stop self-abandonment patterns, establish boundaries, and uncover the essence of your identity.

If you're seeking a drama-free relationship where you don't have to overextend yourself to maintain it, but rather transform from within, I'm here to support you every step of the way.

Together, we'll unlock your full potential, taking you from feeling invisible to becoming invincible, empowering you to step into the world with your true, radical self.

You are seen. You are heard.

And you don't have to walk this road alone anymore.

Transformational Stories

"I immediately felt relieved to skip all of the cultural explanations about how Japanese society models intimacy, vulnerability, confidence, etc. This aspect of working with Reina is priceless, I feel incredibly understood and seen. I believe that I was guided to Reina by my ancestors to dive into my cultural identity issues, decolonization, and to help heal my family's generational traumas. I am so thankful that Reina and I can talk about concrete things as well as metaphysical and ethereal, I had never even considered that I'd be able to find a therapist like this and I'm so so grateful.

I noticed a change after my first session with Reina because she immediately understood that I, myself, am somewhat of a juxtaposition because I hold two very different cultures within me. I feel like most people cannot flip back and forth between cultures without judgment but Reina lives in this space, just as I do. After every session I feel relieved, empowered, honest, and like it was the best session yet (not sure how that's possible but it's true)."
