I was born and raised in Japan. I had a long journey of finding my profession as a Naturopathic doctor. My life-changing moment was when I overcame PCOS by changing my diet and lifestyle, but the biggest factor I found was the importance of finding authenticity in myself and knowing the real causes of my stress.
I believe finding the root cause(s) and your true self is the most important starting point to treating the whole person. It is so important to understand what is going on in your body and the reason why you are having symptoms.
I speak English and Japanese.

6 Principals of Naturopathic Medicine
The Aster is a plant in the Asteraceae family. It's called "Aster" (flower of the star) in Greek because of the look of its petals. In Japan, the Aster is called "Shion", and it was used in some classical literature such as "The Tale of Genji". Its light purple color with a slight blue tone has been loved since ancient times.
The language of flowers in Japanese culture is "recollection" and "I will never forget you" and in the Western culture, they are "patience", "femininity" and "symbol of love."
I chose "Aster" for my business name to think of Japan where I grew up and learned the depth of its culture and history, and aiming to be a woman who is like the languages of Aster -- patient, femininity and loving.
