Simple Holistic Solutions

I grew up in Japan and the U.S., and have now lived in the United States for over 30 years. I currently reside in New Jersey with my husband, our two teenage kids, and our two cats.

​

I hold a doctoral degree in piano and run a piano studio at home. Every year, my students perform at Carnegie Hall after winning competitions. My daughter is a professional actress, with credits on Broadway, TV shows like Sesame Street, and Netflix movies. Supporting her career has inspired me to continually explore ways to maintain optimal health.

​

When I was young, I struggled with fatigue, stiffness, feeling cold easily, low stamina, low blood pressure, vertigo, and cold feet. My blood tests were normal, but I knew something wasn’t right. Looking back, it was likely low thyroid function, anemia, adrenal fatigue, and nutrient deficiencies, and other underlying imbalances that can contribute to silent, low-grade inflammation. For years, I thought this was just who I was and how my body was built—and that there was nothing I could do about it. Things got worse during peri-menopause—fatigue hit harder, my vision would blur after using my smartphone, and and I even considered quitting tennis because I would get so exhausted, with muscle aches that could take days to recover. Then I realized I had to do something—I couldn’t accept aging like this at 45, feeling like I was already 65.

​

I tried everything: massage, chiropractic care, acupuncture, changing my diet, going vegan, and taking a variety of supplements—sometimes as many as 15 per day—without knowing if they were truly helping.

Then, in 2017, I discovered hydrogen water from Japan. Known for its advanced technology and Japan’s long life expectancy, I trusted the quality. Within a few weeks of consistent use, I noticed improvements I hadn’t seen with anything else. Adding supplements from the same company helped reduce eye strain and improved my vision.

​

I continued studying nutrition, digestion, gut-brain connection, and how each organ influences overall health.

Now, nine years later, I wake up refreshed, maintain steady energy throughout the day, and enjoy tennis without fatigue or muscle aches. My eyes stay clear after long hours on screens, and I haven’t needed reading glasses. Simply put, I feel I’ve reclaimed my health, and aging no longer feels intimidating. I now feel healthier than ever and look forward to staying strong and vibrant for many years to come.

​

Since then, I’ve become a Certified Hydrogen Advisor through the Molecular Hydrogen Institute and an Integrative Health & Functional Medicine Coach accredited by leading organizations.
