BWITI Initiate: Student of Iboga
Death care & dream work medium
Yoga teacher

I am committed to embodied (un)learning, repair and growth for a post-colonial & post-scarcity planet. I enjoy sound healing, forest bathing, collecting rocks, reading, jumping and trees. I love animals and moss. I am a painter, a skydiver and a lover of all things miniature. I love elves. I am also a bookworm. I am biologically rooted in Japan, and raised in Southeast Asia (Manila, Singapore). English is my second, and now my primary language.

My therapy work (art therapy, Brainspotting consultant, EMDR & Heartmath+ trained) is informed by my life studies with Earth medicines, death care. I am in service to honoring and caring for the dying of seasons, lives, attachments, identities, stories, and places. I listen to the full spectrum of life and death with reverence. I explore the transpersonal dimensions of life and death through dreams, the unseen, and symbolic experiences that reveal our web of life across time and beyond words. 

I practice neurophysiological approaches (Brainspotting, Somatic Archæology™) to listen and learn about every person’s ecosystem that is built by ancestral legacies, shaped to meet heteronormative or neurotypical expectations, socio-political and ecological conditions.

Bwiti has strengthened me in the weaving arts of dreams, mediumship, ancestral relations and psychotherapy. I bliss out to hot yoga, Reiki everyday to ground and tend to the quality of my care work.

My role is not a job. This is a practice and way of life passed down to me through the Love of my Grandparents, and therefore I hold my work+life integration very close to my heart. This is our walk home.
