1-on-1 sessions
1-on-1 sessions offer a compassionate and supportive space to explore the inner world with curiosity and self-compassion. Grounded in the principles of Internal Family Systems (IFS), this approach gently supports individuals in connecting with their emotions, uncovering and releasing inner blocks, and accessing the internal resources needed for transformation.
In IFS, we recognize that each of us is made up of many different “parts”, each with its own perspective, feelings, and needs. You might notice a part of you that wants to stay busy and productive, another that longs to retreat from a world that can feel hectic and overwhelming, and one that simply wants to make space for creativity, away from pressure or expectation. Rather than seeing these parts as in conflict, we learn to listen to them with care and respect. Each one carries a story, and each is trying to help in its own way.
At the heart of this work is the creation of a safe, attuned, and respectful space where change can unfold at a natural pace, and where clarity, confidence, and self-trust can begin to take root.
I'm taking new clients during my winter break from studies. You’re welcome to book a free 20-minute session before then if you’d like to connect.
For those who never feel “enough”
One-on-one sessions can be supportive for those who find themselves caught in cycles of overthinking, self-criticism, or a constant sense of mental fatigue. You might struggle with focus, procrastination, burnout, or anxiety, pushing yourself to meet high standards while feeling like you’re never quite enough. Imposter syndrome may creep in, even when you’re objectively doing well. IFS-informed session offers a space to slow down and listen inward.
Whether you’re navigating ADHD, perfectionism, or frustration in communication, 1-on-1 session helps you understand what’s driving these patterns such as the need to prove yourself, or the pressure to get everything right. As you gain more insight into what’s happening beneath the surface, it becomes possible to respond with more choice, compassion, and calm, even in high-pressure environments. Over time, this inner clarity and balance can naturally lead to greater focus, confidence, and improved performance on things that truly matter to you.
Trauma Informed
Somatic practices are integrated into sessions to support a sense of safety and embodied presence. The goal is to engage not just the mind, but the nervous system so that change can be felt, not just understood. Techniques like Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT/tapping), polyvagal-informed regulation, and principles from Nonviolent Communication (NVC) help increase body awareness, support emotional regulation, and create space for lasting integration.
About the Practitioner
Yuki’s path to IFS began after years of pushing herself beyond her limits as a software engineer.
She lived in her head, constantly reasoning through everything, trying to solve her struggles as if they were just another logic problem.
In doing so, she ignored the signals from her body. Brushing off exhaustion, stress, and discomfort, until burnout finally forced her to stop.
That breaking point led her into intensive childhood trauma healing work, where she began to truly listen to herself in a way she never had before.
Over time, she explored a wide range of modalities: EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT/tapping), polyvagal theory, Eugene Gendlin’s Focusing, Sensory Motor Therapy, NLP, Hakomi, Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy(AEDP), and somatic experiencing.
Through this process, she discovered a deep fascination with the intricate connection between mind and body.
*Trained by IFSI and IFSCA stepping stones. Receiving regular supervision and consultations as well as her own IFS sessions.

Working with Yuki has been an incredibly grounding and healing experience. From the very first session, I felt completely safe and at ease in her presence. She holds space with such gentleness, deep understanding, and what feels like limitless patience. Her guidance through the IFS process has not only helped me connect with different parts of myself, but it also had a real impact on how I navigate daily life. Step by step, I’m learning to integrate the tools she gives me into everyday situations, and that’s been truly empowering. I always leave our sessions feeling more centered, supported, and seen.
Yuki’s IFS sessions have been truly transformative for me. Through our work together, I’ve become much more self-aware and better able to recognize the subtle signals my body gives me in moments of stress or tension. She’s taught me practical techniques to refocus and ground myself in the present, which has helped me navigate challenging situations with greater ease and calm. Yuki brings a wonderfully calm and compassionate presence to each session, and her deep, attentive listening creates a space where I feel fully seen and supported. I always come away with new insights and a renewed sense of balance. It’s been an absolute pleasure working with her!
By focusing on my body and following Yuki’s guidance, I was surprised by how quickly I was able to reach the deep pain and emotions that had been hidden inside me for so long.
Finally reaching those parts brought a sense of profound relief and warmth that I hadn’t experienced before. One of the most powerful moments was when I felt those parts beginning to shift back into their rightful place within me. Getting in touch with those parts gave me a deep sense of peace, like I could finally return to myself.
Thank you, Yuki.
I’ve done parts work many times before, but in my sessions with Yuki, I was able to connect with a younger part of myself that I had never met before. And that encounter brought a deep sense of connection.
After the session, I felt something shift, like parts of me that had held tension since childhood were finally beginning to integrate.
What was especially helpful and inspiring was how attentively Yuki listened to all the inner voices and treated each part with equal care and respect.
