I help people get out of pain and improve performance by teaching them how to play with their brains. I use practical tools and techniques taken from cutting-edge neuroscience to help people understand and overcome their obstacles to better health and performance. I work with a wide variety of clients, ranging from people stuck in pain to elite-level athletes and performers looking for an edge-up. It is my personal mission to share this information with anyone who wants to deepen their relationship with their brains and bodies.

I discovered a love for Pilates while in college, but it wasn’t until I moved to San Francisco in 2011 that I considered becoming an instructor. I was inspired by the Bay Area’s commitment to health and wellness, and started participating in various running events in San Francisco and beyond. My passion for running motivated me to make a career change and transition to the fitness industry. I now teach Reformer and Mat Pilates, Barre, functional movement, and, of course, I love to run!
I was raised by 2 artists and lived in 3 different continents – Japan, Peru, and the U.S. I started my career as a professional dancer in Tokyo that inevitably led me to Pilates through a bulging disc. Having a deep interest in consciousness later took me to study the interconnection between stress and soul through my graduate school in holistic health education. Guiding people to realize the divine self in them is my calling. The body is a reflection of the mind – more importantly the alignment of the mind with the spiritual part of us.
