Do you listen to and follow your intuition?

You may have been led here by fate, or "Goen", and I believe you are one of the lucky ones!

By listening to this book, you will discover how to trust your intuition and live a more joyful and fulfilling life.

I am an ordinary Japanese woman who currently lives in California.

I always knew I wanted to write a book and introduce the Kotodama class, which changed my life. Following my intuition, I published my first book in Japanese in July 2021, and later an English version in November 2021.

Many women in Japan loved my book, and I wanted to share it with English-speaking women too.

In this book, I will introduce more details of the Kotodama class and authentic stories from women who have learned and used the method.

I wrote this book:

• For women who work so hard.
• For women who want more joy and freedom.
• For my old self who struggled with growing up in a single-parent family, money, relationship problems, being a single mom of a mixed boy in Japan, marriage problems, and divorce.

I hope to share the method that helped me overcome these challenges.

I also hope that those who have already been practicing the Kotodama method will find new insights and tips from this book.

My goal is for this book to become a textbook that listeners can come back to again and again.

In addition to this, I added some descriptions about Japanese words and culture which are not in the Japanese version of this book!
For anyone who is interested in Japan and Japanese culture.

I'd like to share the beautiful and interesting Japanese culture from my point of view, using simple words and expressions that feel like a friend of yours is talking to you.
