High Performance. High Pressure. No Pause.
You have mastered performance, but not peace.
As a CEO, you carry the weight of decisions, people, and expectations. You excel professionally, but internally:
-
your mind rarely slows down,
-
calm feels inconsistent,
-
clarity gets buried under noise,
-
shifts in purpose leave unanswered questions,
-
and you've stopped trusting your intuition.
You’ve achieved more than most people ever will.
Now it’s time to lead from serenity with inner steadiness, without sacrificing performance.
Serenity first. Success follows.
The Kominka Method™
Steady Serenity for Fulfilling Success
Neuroscience Meets Zen Approach
I help high-performing CEOs dissolve mental overload, regulate their inner world, and step into a calmer, clearer, more strategic version of themselves. The Kominka Method, a blend of neuroscience, Positive Intelligence, and the grounded wisdom of Zen & Japanese tea ceremony.
The Kominka Method™ provides high-performing leaders with:
-
Clarity they cannot get from anyone around them.
-
A structured system to regulate body + mind, not just inspiration.
-
Decision-making elevation based on neuroscience.
-
A grounded, confidential partnership where they can be fully honest.
-
Identity recalibration in midlife: "Who am I now? What do I want next?”
-
Sustainable calm, not motivational highs.
This is inner leadership training for your next decade of success without sacrificing your peace.
You'll feel calm, but not passive.
You'll experience growth without force.
You'll have greater performance in all areas of your life, harmonized with serenity.

I help leaders move from mental exhaustion to strategic calm using an integrated approach of:
-
Neuroscience
-
Positive Intelligence
-
Zen tea ceremony and Japanese cultural wisdom
My work is built on one belief:
When the mind is clear and the heart is centered, life and leadership unfold with ease.
In a world that glorifies doing, serenity often feels like another thing to achieve.
I understand this deeply. I lived that way for years.
For almost 20 years, I’ve run my own tea business, guiding countless people to experience the healthful power of Japanese tea and its rituals. Along the way, I faced my own burnout and significant stress, so I deeply understand how overwhelming professional life can feel.
Drawing on my experience as a tea master, my work as a certified life coach, and decades guiding individuals toward clarity and purpose, I discovered a path where serenity and success don’t compete—they coexist. In fact, serenity is the nurturing home of creativity, curiosity, and growth.
Through Japanese tea rituals and Zen principles, grounded in science and neuroscience, I help busy professionals dissolve burnout and return to their authentic essence—with energy, clarity, and motivation.
My programs—both online and onsite—make serenity effortless, turning everyday moments into a foundation for a life of peace, focus, and achievement, all without sacrificing joy.
My mind is quieter, my decisions sharper.
