Yoko has truly helped me to remediate my health during this program. She provided wonderful guidance which was backed by studies on how and what to eat, and how to best take care of my health. I was able to avoid serious medications for my severe autoimmune disease due to observing and changing my eating and lifestyle habits. I am so grateful I found Yoko and was able to get my life and myself back!

My health coaching experience with Yoko was exactly what I needed. As a bonus to all the remedies and mindful discussion, I have learned to let the stress melt away better than I ever have. Yoko encouraged me to hold myself accountable while walking the walk with me. This allowed me to make positive personal changes not just with food, supplements and movement but with a real support system. My health, mindset and hope for the future has never been better.

—Jennifer Miller, yoga instructor

I came into the coaching experience already having an understanding of my autoimmune disease. However I was struggling with managing my stress levels at work which affected my body in numerous ways, including sluggishness, and increased inflammation. Yoko was able to provide me the personal attention I needed to identify and manage my stress, equipped me with the tools I needed to deal with the stress triggers, and ultimately better manage my autoimmune disease.

Working with Yoko has been extremely beneficial, she's very knowledgeable and offers suggestions and resources when you reach a plateau and as you progress she helps keep you motivated, even when I have setbacks. Always encouraging and truly advocates food as thy medicine, and works with what is best for me, listens, and when one avenue doesn't work, since we're all different, she's right there to offer suggestions to improve on that goal and strive for the next one!

— Nicole, Accountant

I love working with Yoko! She is so kind and reassuring on both good and bad days. The first two months of the program were really tough and it was great knowing I could always talk to Yoko about any topic and any problem/achievement. She shares a wealth of knowledge and I am grateful for that.

Yoko is an amazing heart-centered coach and a wonderful ally to have on one’s healing journey. Not only does she share her knowledge and resources regarding functional methods of healing, she shares life experiences and offers guidance each step of the way. Her support has empowered me to find out the root causes of illness and to move forward with making changes to achieve balance and vitality. She always finds time to answer any questions I may have, helps ease my concerns, and knows how to bring it all together with a mind-body and nutritional connection. Healing from chronic illness can be challenging and knowing there is a caring friend who will help me meet my goals has raised my confidence and made the effort so much more rewarding.

Yoko helped me get through the hardest health challenge of my life. I was really struggling with the unknowns of long Covid-19 and she helped me put together a plan that would give my body it's best shot at getting well again. The food choices she suggested and her knowledge around supplementation were both very helpful. She also helped me focus on some of the wider issues that were not helping me in my fight to regain my health including stress. I had never used a health coach before but I would certainly recommend the experience and Yoko in particular. She has the perfect balance of knowledge and empathy and I would definitely contact her the next time I need a boost.

“Working” with Yoko was like having a super knowledgeable friend that cares about your health always available to help you. I put working in quotations because it truly was just like chatting with a friend. She was so kind, supportive, understanding and encouraging as I tried to figure out food intolerances and make lifestyle improvements. I’m so thankful for the opportunity to learn more about how to heal and make the best decisions for my body from her. Having Yoko in my corner really helped motivate me as I navigated some challenging health symptoms and she made it enjoyable! I always looked forward to our chats.

— Nicole L., mom of three kids

I truly enjoyed working with Yoko. She was caring, compassionate, knowledgeable, and professional. She went above and beyond to help me reach my wellness goals and was readily available when I had questions between appointments. I don’t think you can ask for anything more in a Health Coach!

Yoko came into my life when the pandemic was just starting. I suddenly had more time than ever to focus on my health. She helped me identify my health goals and the areas in my life that needed work and gave me real practical solutions. From accountability with my eating, to smoothie and recipe suggestions, to meditation apps, and even researching my specific health issues to give me the best path forward, Yoko gave me the tools I needed to transform my health. During the time we were meeting I began to have severe pain in my hand and wrist, ultimately needed carpal tunnel surgery. I was laid off from my job causing a lot of anxiety. My health goals shifted from exercising daily and eating right to just managing pain and getting by. Yoko was extremely understanding and flexible and helped me shift directions so that I could focus more on my physical and emotional well-being. She found resources for me that helped me get through this difficult time. She is intelligent, caring and talented and has so much to offer her clients. I highly recommend her services!

Working with Yoko was just the boost I needed to take charge of my own health and make lasting lifestyle changes. She embodies the role of coach - offering guidance and expertise, lifting up with encouragement, all while acknowledging my role in the process as well. She took into account my health history & symptoms, my needs, desires, experiences, etc. Working with Yoko is a team effort and offers a sense of accountability and empowerment. I loved her truly holistic approach - focusing not just on my physical health, but diet, exercise, spirituality, personality, etc. as well. I feel more educated, more healthy, more prepared and more seen after working with her!

— Meghan H, Assistant Director, Fund Raising

Working with Yoko was incredibly insightful and helpful. She has this calming and accepting presence that helped me dive deeper and share the why behind some of my approaches to health. While I’ve considered myself knowledgeable, I’ve never gotten to some of the root causes as I did with her. She helped me tailor a strategy towards making incremental, but enduring changes that fit my lifestyle. I find myself energized by these changes, seeing results and confident in my ability to maintain these lifestyle changes over the long term. I’m very grateful I had the opportunity to work with Yoko.

—Molly A., Brand Strategy Director

For years, my doctors have told me that I have chronic inflammation in my body, but not one of them bothered to identify the root cause. Though Yoko’s approach is very holistic, what sets her apart is that she draws on real science (and explains it in a very approachable way) to coach you on your health concerns. Yoko made the process of empowering me to improve my health both educational and very easy to sustain by providing me with recipes, links for purchasing pantry items, suggestions of foods to eat or avoid and everything in between! Her personalized follow-up made me feel wholly supported every step of the way. Yoko is a gem - she is an incredible person, fiercely intelligent, and very dedicated to her clients. I can’t recommend her highly enough!

— Jennifer K, yoga instructor + mom

Yoko is a marvelous professional...She’s been conquering an autoimmune disease day after day and has learned the hard way how to get to the core of the issue and lead a full life without restrictions. She has extensive knowledge on how the body works, and she is as gentle and supportive as you can imagine. When I worked with her I felt so much at ease and so safe to open up and share things I would otherwise be shy about. And I have also learned a lot about myself and how I can sometimes stand in my own way of getting better. Yoko has plenty of resources and suggestions to share with you and if one thing doesn’t work, she’s got another for you to try. She wouldn’t force you to do anything, but she doesn’t need to because when you converse with her you feel at ease and inspired, so you want to do the right things for yourself. You would do yourself a great favor in more ways than one if you hire her as a coach. I am glad fortune let me cross paths with her.
