Our Approach
Welcome to our coaching practice. We’re here to support you in overcoming challenges and creating a life that aligns with your values and desires. As a team of coaches, we each bring unique expertise to our sessions, providing you with flexible options to meet your specific needs. Whether you choose to work with one of us exclusively or combine our approaches, we’re committed to helping you find clarity and practical tools to move forward effectively.
Our Philosophy
We believe each client should be in an emotionally safe space free of judgment, to be seen and heard as they are. Each client is encouraged to communicate their feelings and to exercise their free will and freedom of choice in determining their path forward. Our coaching is grounded in respect, empathy, and collaboration, ensuring that the process aligns with your personal needs and goals.
Our Focus
Resolution, Not Just Coping
While we recognize the importance of coping strategies and tools in supporting Highly Sensitive Persons (HSPs) through their challenges, our primary expertise lies in facilitating meaningful change and creating effective outcomes. Our focus is to help clients feel equipped and confident in addressing the challenges they face, enabling them to take actionable steps toward the life they want to lead.
About Akiyo’s Coaching Approach

Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT)

Choosing Your Coach
You don’t need to have all the answers about where to begin. An Insight & Strategy Session is a standalone introductory session that provides you with immediate insights and strategies for your current challenges. If you decide to explore long-term coaching afterward, we can have a follow-up conversation to determine the best path forward.​
