I’ve always lived between worlds — emotionally, culturally, and spiritually.

Born in Switzerland to a Japanese mother and a French-speaking father, I grew up with a quiet sense of difference. I didn’t always feel like I belonged — not in the classroom, not always at home. But early on, I learned to tune in to what couldn’t be seen: energy, emotion, intuition. That quiet sensitivity would go on to shape everything I do.

I was raised in a deeply spiritual home. My mother, a devoted Buddhist, created an atmosphere of stillness and inner discipline. My father, warm and affectionate, taught me that love doesn’t always need words. From them, I learned that connection often lives beneath the surface — and that presence is a powerful language of its own.

A major turning point came in my mid-twenties, when my mother passed away unexpectedly. In that moment of loss, I felt something profound shift — a spiritual knowing that life is shaped not just by what we do, but by what we feel, what we sense, and how we flow with the unseen forces around us.

This experience sparked a deeper journey into Chinese Metaphysics and the study of Chi — the life energy that moves through everything. I later moved to the UK, where I immersed myself in personal development and emotional work. Along the way, I began to heal old beliefs and uncover a deeper truth: that we are shaped not just by circumstance, but by our inner stories — and that those can be rewritten.

Professionally, I spent over two decades working in the energy industry. What I loved most wasn’t the numbers or the structure — it was the people. Supporting their growth. Creating flow in systems and spaces. Without knowing it, I was already practicing what would become Akiko Flow: the art of aligning both the inner and outer world to support real, lasting transformation.

I trained as a life coach and then as a holistic coach, because I believe that true change doesn’t happen on the surface. It happens when we reconnect — with our truth, our energy, and our emotional clarity.

Akiko Flow is where modern coaching, ancient wisdom, and energetic alignment come together to help you move forward — in your life, in your space, and in yourself.

This work isn’t about fixing.
It’s about remembering who you are.
And beginning from exactly where you are now.
