A place to restore the
“light of your true self.”

Holistic Being Lighthouse offers  

trauma‑informed, bilingual life coaching  

that bridges Japan and the overseas world.

Like a lighthouse holding a quiet, steady light,  

I gently hold a space for you to find the path that you to  

remember who you are, integrate your inner world, and step into your authentic self.

This is a place for women navigating:

  • cross‑cultural stress

  • emotional ups and downs

  • deepening self‑understanding

  • life transitions and identity shifts

to safely return to their true selves  

and move toward a future beyond what they imagined.

Welcome

Life overseas, cultural differences, relationship fatigue…  

and the quiet question that arises:

“Is this really okay as it is?”

In those moments, we sometimes need a safe place to pause  

and listen to the voice within.

Holistic Being Lighthouse is a lighthouse that supports you to:

  • understand the meaning behind your emotions

  • deepen self‑awareness and self‑compassion

  • build healthy boundaries to live as your true self

  • recover your sense of authenticity

Life Coach Yuki

Certified Life Coach

I’m Yuki Kawai,  

a bilingual, trauma‑informed life coach.

As the eldest daughter, I grew up believing that “putting others before myself” was natural.  

That way of living nurtured kindness and responsibility—  but it also created a habit of pushing my true feelings aside.

My clinical experience as a nurse, a period of unexplained health issues, and my search for “living as my true self” in my mid‑20s led me to a working holiday and eventually settling in Australia.

Later, through the identity shifts of motherhood and the process of forming a sense of self in an English‑speaking culture,  

I came to deeply understand the importance of  

returning to my true self.

Now, like a lighthouse holding a quiet light, I support women as they remember who they truly are and step into the life they long for.

Client Voices & Transformations

Ms.S - Japan

"I kept searching for myself, taking every tool and assessment, yet still couldn’t understand who I was.  

Through coaching, I regained my intuition and sense of self, discovered what I truly want, and began taking action.  

Past experiences now make sense, and I feel confident in my direction."

Ms.K - Canada

“Even when I tried new things, something always felt off and I ended up back at the start.  

Now I can recognise my true desires and distinguish them from things I pursued out of comparison.  

I’m finally taking steps toward what I genuinely want.”

Ms.M - Australia

“I was finally able to close a chapter with my former partner and began regaining self‑respect and confidence.  

Talking regularly with Yuki created time to reflect on myself, which helped me stay on the path toward what I truly want.  

She listens without judgment and gently guides you to see what’s happening inside.  

I wouldn’t be where I am today without her sessions.”

Podcast (Japanese)

On Stand.fm, I share guidance for women who want to live freely as their true selves,  

beyond social and cultural expectations—a journey of inner integration.

Drawing from Maureen Murdock’s The Heroine’s Journey, I explore modern femininity, new role models, and the process of healing the soul, mind, and body through self‑healing.  

I also talk about releasing the “shoulds” we absorbed since childhood and following the subtle signals of your inner truth.

Community — Living as Your True Self (For Japanese)

To live as your true self, we need to release old patterns and subconscious conditioning, learn self‑healing, and integrate body, mind, and spirit.

This online community offers a space to learn and practice these together.

As your own pace, from here.

The light within you has always wanted you to live as your true self  

and continues to illuminate your path.
