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 Mental State. Better Decisions. Sustainable Results.
Neuroscience Meets Zen Approach
The Kominka Method™ is a structured, disciplined approach to mastering the mind, designed for leaders operating under constant pressure.
At its core, it trains awareness and discernment through four precise steps: Notice, Allow, Discern, and Align.
This process enables leaders to move out of automatic survival-driven reactions and into intentional, aligned decision-making, grounded in what truly matters now.
This is not mindset work.
It is mental state regulation.
I work privately with high-performing CEOs who carry significant responsibility and complexity. Leaders who are capable, driven, and successful, yet increasingly aware that mental overload, internal noise, and constant urgency are quietly eroding clarity and satisfaction.
The Kominka Method integrates neuroscience, Positive Intelligence, and the grounded wisdom of Zen and Japanese tea ceremony to stabilize the mind, regulate the nervous system, and restore strategic clarity.
Through this work, leaders gain:
-
Clarity they cannot access inside their own organization
-
A structured system to regulate mind and body, not motivational insight
-
Higher-quality decisions, rooted in how the brain actually functions under pressure
-
A confidential, grounded partnership where complete honesty is possible
-
Identity recalibration in midlife: Who am I now? What is my next chapter?
-
Sustainable calm, not performance spikes followed by depletion
This is inner leadership training for the next decade of your life and work, designed to support success without sacrificing peace, health, or integrity.
You will feel calm, but not passive.
You will grow, without force.
You will perform at a higher level with clarity, steadiness, and grounded authority.

I help leaders move from mental exhaustion to strategic calm using Kominka Method™, which is 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.
