FAQs

What is NLP?

Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) is a psychology-based method designed to help you understand and change your inner processing patterns of external information, such as what people say and events that happen to you, to achieve your desired outcomes easily and more efficiently.

By practicing NLP consistently, you will master your mind—connecting deeply with yourself, feeling calm, positive, and focused. This allows you to eliminate wasted time, take effective actions at ease, and ultimately develop a strong core self, enabling you to lead in areas that truly matter to you.

"When I was feeling overwhelmed with parenting and work, I came across Junko's coaching. While counseling is common in America, I was a bit hesitant, but coaching was perfect for me, as I felt I needed help with stress.

Even with my jumbled thoughts, expressing them aloud and having them heard helped clarify my thoughts.

Most importantly, Junko showed me a positive perspective of my negative thoughts, which greatly eased my mind.

Especially since my concern was about my career, Junko's coaching sessions, drawn from her own experiences and overcoming career struggles, were very practical and inspirational. My desired future became clearer.

Discussing problems causing stress but not knowing how to deal with them, Junko helped me pinpoint specific actions to take, leading me to consider what kind of person I ultimately want to be. I think it's a place I wouldn't have reached on my own."

"I am very lucky and blessed to have Junko as my personal coach for almost a year.

Junko is a very good listener. She created a safe and warm coaching environment, so I can be myself. Her patience and understanding make me feel I always could trust her.

She always helps me to unpack my feelings and emotions from the past life event and move on.

Through Junko’s sessions, she assisted me to gain so much awareness. I realized I could come up with different action plans and figured out my resources.

During this year, Junko also helped me reframe my thoughts and accepted who I am. By making this mental empowerment, I am so glad that I could look forward to a different path to my future and feel so relieved. My quality of life improved a lot because of her. Thanks Junko."

"After my coaching sessions with Junko, it became clear what was truly important to me, and I also realized that I had been underestimating myself. I was losing sight of who I was, but after coaching with Junko, I began to feel more confident and self-assured.

With her guidance, I also gained insights into why I wasn't enjoying my current work environment and developed small actionable steps to move forward.

I appreciate that her sessions always began and ended with a smile on my face.

Following the sessions, I was able to take action on these small steps and recognized that I could indeed progress.

I gained a lot of self-awareness from each session. Thank you so much, Junko, for caring about me and my journey even more than I do."

"I was recommended to Junko by an acquaintance. She helped me work through various issues I was facing before starting my business and unknowingly limiting my performance (such as spending too much time on my phone, family relationships, morning habits, language barriers, etc.).

Junko patiently and thoroughly addressed each issue, big or small, and after each session, I felt lighter and more motivated.

Thanks to Junko's warm personality, I found it easy to talk to her. She listened sincerely to what I had to say, and sometimes even laughed at my jokes, making the process enjoyable and allowing me to make steady progress one step at a time."

"I’ve realized that the value of private coaching sessions is that they are more thorough than self-reflection alone. I was able to articulate and express my thoughts, which is something I rarely get to do. This process highlighted the importance of taking time for such introspection.

The biggest revelation for me was discovering what’s happening in my mind when experiencing fears and worries.

After a coaching session, I had a realization that I don’t need to worry so much about fear and anxiety. It’s like a new formula I discovered within myself! It was a major breakthrough!

Junko also taught me practical tools, so when I feel anxious or scared, I can use these methods to keep my thoughts moving forward and stay focused on solutions.

The coaching sessions made me feel much lighter. Thank you, Junko."

"Since coming to America, and especially after having an accident, I have been struggling with a fear of driving, which has severely limited my activities and made my days difficult.

When I brought it to Junko, she guided me step by step for overcoming fear. I believe this method can be applied not only to driving but also to any other fears and unpleasant situations.

Thank you for teaching me such a wonderful tool. Junko listened to my various stories and taught me effective methods, for which I am grateful.

After receiving Junko's coaching sessions, I gained new insights each time and am truly thankful for that."

"I needed to prepare for a media interview about my business. I knew I could potentially ramble on about one question or another, and I did not want to be overbearing to the audience.

Junko helped me prepare for the interview. She listened carefully and asked me follow-up questions that helped me tidy up my responses so they were clear and to the point.

The interview went well; I did not ramble and was grateful for the opportunity.

If you have a job interview, an important presentation, or a media interview, Junko can help you get your thoughts straight so you can give clean and professional answers. Thanks a bunch, Junko, for all your help!"

Junko listened carefully and always responded in a respectful, insightful, and very kind and sensitive way. I felt safe and inspired to take action and bring forth the positive change I had hoped to experience.

Thank you, Junko, for your help! I recommend her as your coach. :)"
