1-1 Coaching for changemakers who desire to make an impact with flow
In a world that expects constant productivity, linear progression, and immediate results, many of us fall into the trap of critiquing our capacity and doubting our impact — not to mention, putting our wellbeing last.
The truth is we are whole, cyclical humans. Each one of us deserves to honor our multifaceted desires and longings even when working towards the world we envision.
Allowing our full human self to lead is a prerequisite to bring meaningful change in our communities and the world.
And that starts with you!
Work with me!
Are you looking for values-led approaches to driving social change — rooted in who you are, what matters, and what you yearn for? This is what I am here for!
I support you 1:1 in navigating the often lonely process of challenging internalized norms and assumptions, breaking patterns, and reclaiming what matters.
So you imagine and create another way of living, working, and making an impact as your unraveled self.
Hi! I’m Nanami, a certified coach.
I firmly believe that we can build the world we imagine while honoring our humanness, without sidelining our own wellbeing, whether it’s physical, emotional, mental, relational, or spiritual.
Having lived in different countries like Japan, the US, UK, and China, I learnt that someone else’s “normal” doesn’t have to be mine. I get to choose who I am and what matters. We all do, too.
I’ll help you reconnect with who you are and what matters, so you can make choices that are rooted in core values. Find out more about what I stand for to see if we are a good match:
The changemakers I work with are daring and imaginative not only in making an impact but also in honoring the wholeness in themselves and those they serve.
The kind of clients I’ve worked with are artists, entrepreneurs, executives, movement-builders, medicine practitioners, activists, human rights lawyers, and policy makers.
They come to me for a non-judgmental space and co-creative partnership to explore questions like:
☼ How do I redefine success/self-worth, so I embody softness and savoring every day?
☼ How do I invite collective care into my business, so I feel alive and connected?
☼ How do I challenge my inner critics, so I finally do what I’m called to do?
☼ How do I show up for my beloveds while being authentic and upholding my boundaries?
☼ How do I push back against scarcity and urgency, so I play and rest unapologetically?
☼ How do I thrive in a capitalist society without subscribing to its extractive practices but rather giving back to my communities?
They come out of coaching:
⚘ Confident in challenging normative answers,
⚘ Reconnected to their deep knowing, and
⚘ Thrilled with what is possible.
And they continue to challenge the status quo from a place of alignment.
Are you also a values-led disruptors? I can’t wait to meet you!

Her coaching feels like playing a very relaxing ping-pong rally. I tune into what I am really thinking and feeling, which I rarely have time to do outside the sessions.
