🌺 Press & Media Inquiries

Thank you for your interest in my work! I love sharing stories about Okinawa’s wellness, food culture, and slow living.

About Me

I’m a certified gut health coach based in Ōgimi Village, Okinawa, home of Japan’s northernmost Blue Zone.
Through my Okinawa Wellness Retreats and my husband’s Ogimi Walking Tours, we help visitors experience local culture and wellness practices firsthand. Click here and learn more about what we do.

Media & Interview Requests

To ensure I can provide thoughtful responses, all interview requests should be scheduled at least two weeks in advance. Please note that our business is closed on Sundays and Mondays, and if a retreat or walking tour is booked on your requested date, we may not be able to respond immediately.

I cannot guarantee an interview will be possible, as it depends on my availability and schedule.

When you email, please include:

  • Publication name and link

  • Type of project: non-profit or for-profit (e.g., blog, YouTube, podcast)

  • Topic, angle, or questions for me

  • Format: written, video, podcast, etc.

📩 Send requests to okinawahealingkitchen@gmail.com with the subject line: "Media Inquiry"

Media Policy

  • Short interviews (15 minutes) for legitimate media outlets with proper credit: free.

  • In-depth or research-based interviews, or private consultations: may require a paid consultation.

I’ll review your request and confirm whether it falls into a short feature or paid session.

Media Resources

A media kit with my bio, photos, and retreat info is available upon request. Please credit all materials appropriately.

Additional Note

At this time, I’m not accepting volunteer work, farm stay internships, or similar opportunities, as things are manageable between me and my husband.
Thank you for understanding!
