I am originally from Japan and now live in California with my husband and two boys. I started running in 2011 and have completed many marathons and ultramarathons, including a 3:13 marathon and a 100K trail race. I coach beginner to intermediate runners—especially busy moms—who are training for 5K to full marathons. My approach is supportive, flexible, and based on real-life balance. I believe in progress over perfection and helping runners feel confident and empowered.

I believe running should empower and energize your life—not complicate it. My coaching is designed for real people with real responsibilities, especially moms balancing family and personal goals. I support beginner to intermediate runners with flexible, online plans tailored to your schedule and mindset. My style is encouraging, honest, and built on mutual trust. I focus on progress, not perfection, and believe in consistent growth—physically and mentally. As someone who understands the daily juggle, I’m here to help you train smarter, stay motivated, and feel proud of every step forward. Your journey is unique, and I’ll be with you every mile.
