Since childhood, she had the ability to see spirits and was so energetically sensitive that she often felt emotionally and physically drained just by being around others. “I was always seen as a strange child,” she recalls. When she started elementary school, she struggled to keep up—understanding material about three years behind her peers—leading some to believe she had a developmental disorder. At the age of 10, a traumatic emotional experience triggered nightly episodes of out-of-body experiences. Soon after, her parents divorced, and she began living with just her mother and younger brother. At 15, a life-changing encounter with a mentor became a turning point. Inspired by her mentor’s words, she decided to move to New York at the age of 20. With no more than 500,000 yen in cash, zero English ability, and a one-way ticket, she left Japan. Within a few months, she found herself homeless. Alone in a city where she couldn’t speak the language and had no one to turn to, she says, “I was like a newborn baby, starting from nothing.” Yet, in the depths of that hardship, her spiritual sensitivity only deepened. One day, she met a family of Indian astrologers. After hearing about her past and experiences, one of them told her, “You have a gift. You must use your spiritual sensitivity to help others. And to do that, you must continue your spiritual training.” It was in that moment that she finally accepted who she was—and realized that her entire life had been a journey of spiritual training and divine tests. That was the moment her true path began. Her great-grandmother was a master of Reiki healing, and both her parents were former athletes. She first touched tarot cards as a child, enchanted by the colorful, mysterious illustrations she found in her grandmother’s drawer. “Looking back, the cards have always been with me,” she says. “Even as a child, I often received readings from a woman in Daikanyama. Tarot was like a quiet companion throughout my life.” The words her mentor once told her echo in her heart to this day: “You must go to New York. Just like how connecting one dot at a time eventually reveals a bigger picture—your life is the same.” And so began her journey—one that continues to unfold, one dot at a time.
