FAQ About Makiko

I am a hypnotherapist who graduated with honors from 2-year Clinical Hypnotherapy and AOS Degree in Mind-Body Psychology programs from HMI (Hypnosis Motivation Institute: nationally accredited college of hypnotherapy). (https://hypnosis.edu)

My passion from childhood was the piano. Although I still love music, my lifelong challenges through chronic illnesses sparked an interest in the correlation between mind and body.
I first turned to homeopathy for many years with great success until the severe flare-up causing me not able to lead a normal life for more than three years. I then expanded my knowledge and experience into quantum biofeedback for stress reduction, becoming a Certified Biofeedback Specialist. My biofeedback trainer, also a graduate of HMI, encouraged me to study hypnotherapy at HMI.”

Hypnotherapy does NOT treat any illness, but it changes the state of mind and awareness, in turn affecting your body and behavior. Surprisingly, it makes a big difference.
I also experienced stage fright as a piano student in graduate school. Again, mind/body connection. My fear translated to shaky, clammy hands and feet, and my mind went blank on stage. I so wish I had known hypnotherapy back then.
You don’t have to give up your career, goal or aspiration because of fear. It IS possible to change how you feel, think, and behave.

I believe anything is possible if you have a strong enough desire and the ability to find resources to help achieve your goal.
Hypnotherapy is a powerful tool that changes your mindset in alignment with your strong desire, leading to motivation and actions that will take you to the goal.

1. Business/career struggles. I assist in getting “unstuck” from the present, shifting the mindset to help turn around the business and gaining clarity on future direction.
2. Stage fright/performance anxiety. I’ve been there, done that! I assist in releasing fear by replacing the negative associations from the past and gaining confidence to perform to the best of one’s ability.
3. Many issues have “self-doubt” and “self-confidence” components, whether in a specific area in general. It’s a sheer joy to see my client transform from a negative outlook on self to a positive one by releasing self-imposed pressure and self-criticism and recognizing all the strengths within.

If you have business/career struggles, rest assured that I have 20-year experience as a freelance conference interpreter (English/Japanese). It has given me a strong business background as well as exposure to a wide range of sectors and industries. This experience helps me understand your background and career.
If you have stage fright/performance anxiety, I know what you go through and how you feel. It is possible to stand in front of your audience with confidence, exerting 100% of what you are capable of.

All sessions are conducted online. In-person sessions and online sessions are equally effective. You can have sessions in the comfort of your own home or anywhere that is private and relaxing for you.
