We’re all striving for essentially the same things, right?
Being happy and living life in harmony with the people and environment around us is important.
Having a sense of purpose, feeling acknowledged, supported, and fully seen ignites something deep inside that allows us to feel vibrantly alive.
Can we have it all?
I think YES! We can absolutely have it all!
Hi! I’m Misa…
I do believe we can have all that we desire. The key is knowing what you really want and following the signs your inner being gives you to lead you to your desires. It’s important to recognize that the end goal is not the purpose of life. Life is all about the journey. The people we meet, the experiences we have, and how we interact with these is what makes up our lives. What we want today will most likely change over the course of time. We adapt and evolve depending on who and what we encounter in our environments.
Just like the seasons in nature, the seasons of our lives have a flow and rhythm that shift as we grow our conscious awareness.
The basis of all of my work is the system of the Chinese 5 elements and Taoist principles. Both of these are rooted in nature and I find that guiding people through this lens is effective in bringing balance and joy into the lives of my clients.
Tuning into energy is not as complicated as some may think. Looking at the natural world around us can be the 1st step into feeling that there is something more than what we can see with our eyes.
For over 25 years I have been learning how to “BE” with the energy that surrounds me.
Using the ancient 5 Element Taoist system (Wu Xing) allows me to energetically connect with clients whether outside in nature or in virtual sessions.
Through this work I’ve been able to help my clients in the relationships they have with the important people in their lives as well as help them discover deeper parts of themselves.
There is support for you. You CAN feel well, be happy, and live a full life.
Sometimes it just takes a little extra guidance; someone to walk with you on your journey to find what you’re looking for or to help you get clarity on what it even is that you want in life.
Mission:
To lead people curious about the world in discovering their sense of purpose, fulfillment, and freedom through extraordinary experiences.
My Story
Life Decisions
Trying to decide what to do in life as a young adult was hard! I went through several majors in college before graduating from Louisiana State University with a BA in Communication Disorders in 1995. I love learning, but traditional school was not always fun for me.
I’ve always been a little different. What I really love studying wasn’t taught in any university I knew. I had many intelligent and kind professors but, finding my “real” teachers came after leaving my hometown.
About 2 months after graduating from LSU, I left my hometown of New Orleans and headed to Fukuoka, Japan to teach English on the JET Programme. My plan was to live in Japan for one year and then return to LSU to work on a Master’s degree in speech-language pathology. That one year in Japan stretched into three years and I let go of the idea of becoming a speech-language pathologist. The Universe had a different plan for me!
Trusting the Process
One of the most important, life changing experiences I’ve had was meeting my first “real” teacher, Mr. Oyama. He was a Shiatsu practitioner and worked with the energy of the body, mind, and spirit. He wanted to practice English so we traded Shiatsu classes for English conversation. He became paramount in my life’s journey. Mr. Oyama taught me how to sense energy in the body. He introduced me to the system of the Chinese 5 elements and how food influences health. He was such a wise soul! I was fascinated with all of this new information and I enjoyed practicing Shiatsu so much that I decided to pursue bodywork when I returned to the US in 1998.
Side note: Mr. Oyama’s name translated into English is Grand Mountain. I love that!
There are no coincidences. The people you meet and the situations you encounter are all based on the thoughts you are putting out to the world. Allow me to help you get into alignment with what you truly want in life.
