The life of a healing facilitator is not an easy one. But once you awaken to your soul’s calling, there is no turning back—for in giving, we receive. With deeper understanding of my past and present, I now see that my journey as a healing facilitator began in childhood. Even then, I felt an unspoken bond with nature and all living beings. I remember tending to birds with broken wings, nursing chickens with injured legs—small, delicate lives I cradled with the greatest care. Compassion bloomed in me early, and with it, a deep sensitivity to the suffering of others. That tenderness followed me into adulthood, growing stronger with the realization of my own child’s condition.

 

Throughout my life, I’ve often felt watched over—protected by a presence I could not name. One memory stands out: as a child, my family narrowly escaped tragedy one New Year’s Eve, guided by the warnings in my mother’s dreams. Only now, reflecting with spiritual clarity, do I see that this was no mere coincidence. It was divine intervention, another quiet moment of grace. As I stepped into adulthood, life continued to offer me unexpected gifts—opportunities I had long wished for, outcomes shaped by a force greater than chance. Looking back, I know these moments were signposts on the path I was always meant to follow.

 

The arrival of my son, my dream child, marked a profound turning point. When I learned he was autistic and had ADHD, my calling as a healing facilitator deepened. I began to explore new ways of understanding the world—through energy, vibration, and the unseen threads that bind us all. This was when I truly began to live with intention, when the ordinary world revealed its hidden layers.

 

In 2023, the Leaves Institute and my teacher, Yumiko Asakura, entered my life and forever altered my perception of reality. Through Yumiko’s profound teachings, my healing practice found new depth, my heart found new purpose, and my spirit stepped onto a transformative path. Today, I walk this path with reverence. It is not easy, but it is true. And I am grateful—for every wound, every lesson, and every sacred encounter that led me here.
