Meet Mariko

Hi, I’m Mariko, a certified life coach and mindfulness teacher.  As a coach, I bring a unique blend of lived experience, extensive training, and a mindful presence that is deeply curious, compassionate, creative, and insightful. Working together, we can transform habituated ways of being, seeing, and doing, into new perspectives, possibilities, and action. If you are interested in mindfulness, I would love to share this ancient practice and its benefits of cultivating well-being, resilience, inner strengths, and equanimity.

Testimonials

“I have been working with Mariko since the summer of ‘20 to assist me with various life’s transitions, the most important being the transition from my professional life. Mariko is patient, kind, and an incredibly good listener. When with her, I have the feeling that her attention is totally focused on me, that I am all that matters to her during our time, my needs, my concerns. She has a way of guiding you to the point where conclusions on various matters suddenly become clear and obvious. I have no words to describe the positive impact she has had and will continue to have as I navigate my way through all transitions”

- B.G. (Small business owner)

“Locating purpose and meaning and learning how to focus on them is very, very difficult - so difficult, in fact, that I can easily abandon the effort. When that happens I need an open, reliable and generous person who can gently remind me where and how to look for the perspective I've neglected. I need to have a safe place where I can be heard deeply and challenged compassionately. Mariko is not only trained but fundamentally wired to provide just those things. I always leave my work with Mariko feeling like I've been given a big sincere hug of affirmation and tools to help me recover my real reason for being.”

-K.C. (career/life transition)

"I wanted to update you that the seeds I've been planning since January have resulted in something exciting - I am taking a new job in a few weeks...Throughout the rather long interview process both leaders kept emphasizing many if not all of the values and goals I expressed to you in our three coaching sessions - balancing the big picture with the details, complexity, curiosity, and empowering others. I would share what I'm looking for and they would say "that's exactly what we are looking for, exactly."

-C. B. (Chief of Staff for IT company)

“Mariko is an exceptional listener. She helped me uncover and neutralize subconsciously held beliefs that stood in the way of reaching my goals. Mariko brings a wisdom and intuition to the table that can’t be learned from textbooks. She is kind but highly effective. It is apparent that she wants you to succeed.”
