I started my writing career as a travel writer for Tokyo Walker & Mapple Tokyo then joined the health and beauty world, sharing tips on anti-aging. I worked for Health Magazines for seven years, but now I’m a freelance writer. I also wrote numerous articles on how to be financially savvy and how to manage daily stress.

I soon realized that a lot of top health trends came from Los Angeles and that solidified my decision to move to California. I am currently a columnist for Yoga Journal online and a Japanese newspaper.
