Who I AM
I’m Yuki — a bilingual, trauma‑informed life coach who was born and raised in Japan and chose to build a life overseas to live in alignment with my true self.
Today I live in a small town called Biggenden in Australia with my partner, our 5‑year‑old son, and three dogs.
As the eldest daughter in my family, I grew up being responsible, attentive, and deeply sensitive to the needs of those around me.
I learned to read the mood, care for everyone around me, and put my own feelings aside.
These qualities shaped my compassion — but they also taught me how easy it is to lose touch with your own truth when you’re always prioritising others.
This lived experience is the foundation of my coaching.
I understand, deeply, what it feels like to be strong for everyone else while quietly carrying your own struggles.
My Story
Prologue: The Search for Wholeness
For a long time, I lived with a quiet yet persistent sense of "something is missing." Even while I achieved success and adapted to societal expectations, I was constantly searching for an answer to that inner void.
In Japan, I was deeply drawn to the philosophy of nursing—the art of supporting an individual’s innate power to live life on their own terms. I loved my work as a nurse at a university hospital, finding great fulfilment in caring for others. However, at age 26, a mysterious physical collapse brought my world to a standstill. My body was speaking what my heart couldn't: I had been so busy caring for others that I had forgotten how to live my own truth. My bioresonance doctor’s words still resonate with me today: "If you are not honest with yourself, your body will keep repeating these cycles."
2019 – Present: Motherhood and the Depths of Integration
I moved to Australia at age 28, embarking on a quest to rediscover myself. While I discovered coaching in 2017, my true transformation deepened in 2019 when I encountered the "Heroine’s Journey" and became a mother shortly after.
Motherhood in a foreign land brought new challenges: the struggle of raising a child in a second language, the complexities of community relationships, and the shifting of my own identity as a Japanese woman in Australia. These experiences forced me to confront old patterns—the "Good Girl" or the "Strong Woman" who had to do it all perfectly.
Through this struggle, I found the key to True Integration. I realised that success isn't about fighting harder or winning in a man’s world. It’s about shining a light on every part of yourself—your shadows, your vulnerability, your Japanese roots, and your evolving English-speaking self. I discovered a new model of success: one where you can protect your sacred family time and remain soft in your femininity while thriving professionally.
My Mission: A Coach for Your Journey
Today, I live in the beautiful nature of Australia, with my partner, our son, and our dogs. From here, I hold space for women across the globe through 1-on-1 coaching.
I am not a "teacher" or a "guru." I am a Coach—a partner who respects your sovereignty and supports your process of reclaiming your wings. I am a woman who is still on her own Heroine’s Journey, constantly refining my power to heal myself, my family, and the world.
When you are ready to shed the "Role" and return to your "Soul," I am here for you. With the foundation of Trauma-Informed Care and the courage of Dare to Lead, I will be the lighthouse that helps you illuminate your own path home.
