"As a flight attendant for a number of years, I enjoyed travelling and exploring the outer world, meeting with a wide range of people and sampling delicious foods and beverages. I moved to Portland, Oregon, USA from Japan in 2005 to study process work. And now, my focus has sifted to exploring the inner world as well as outer world. I have completed M.A. in Conflict Facilitation and Organizational Change at the Process Work Institute (PWI) in 2007. Now as an advanced student in the Diploma/Master degree program in Process Work at the PWI, I am interning as a student therapist at the River's Way Clinic. I have been fascinated by the dynamics of the relationship between our inner and outer world. Additionally, I recently started practicing yoga which further attempts to throw light on this connection."
