Testimonial

“Going through life changes that have brought confusion and upheaval, I have been seeking new ways of relating to myself and the world around me.  Taking Aiko’s courses during this time helped me reconnect with the possibility of thriving again. Participating in her guided meditations has helped me taste the depth of our sensory awareness.  Even when I've started a meditation feeling fragmented, Aiko’s guidance has helped me tune in to sight, sound and touch.  This deep attunement has helped me access vitality and joy in unexpected moments!

Because of her warm and compassionate communication, I feel comfortable speaking to my raw, uncensored experience.  When she reflects what I say, it hits home.  Her synthesis also brings additional insights and helps me tap into hidden feelings and yearnings. I am so grateful for the supportive community that Aiko creates through her courses.  I feel affirmed in a space where each person feels safe to share.  Besides a welcoming group, Aiko offers exercises for practicing mindfulness techniques in pairs, too.  It has been so much fun to collaborate with others, listen to their wisdom, and build intimacy together!

Aiko has taught me a fresh way to engage with my thoughts by bringing a practice of curiosity. Studying with her, I have felt what it’s like to honor my thoughts, without feeling beleaguered by them. At times, it has helped break the overwhelm and has brought me back to clarity and freedom. Studying with Aiko, I see mindfulness as a path to more authentic expression, greater energy and a life guided by gratitude. I am so excited to continue learning with her!”
