I began therapy with Mirin in mid 2024 and can honestly say it changed my life. I came into contact with Mirin through my job when I was juggling life long anxiety, seasonal bouts of depression, both child hood and adult traumas and extreme professional burnout. Mirin offered me a calm and safe space to completely open up and reflect on my life to date to identify what had led me to feel and behave in the way that I was (low and unpredictable moods, compulsive behaviour and thoughts, self destructive ideals and dysphoric self image). Over the course of a year myself and Mirin, through various means, identified ways to tap into my own mind and highlight what was intrusive and what was reality. Mirin also helped me connect with my inner child to allow her to heal which has been monumental in my growth as an individual. Mirin taught me various strategies and provided me with the tools to allow myself to live fully and face fears that have often held me back. Mirin also worked closely with me on allowing myself to live a life I want to live and to not live a life solely to serve the needs of those around me. My experience with mirin has been completely life changing and I cannot thank her enough. I could not recommend her more

I loved Mirin's practical approach to any of life's problems, no matter how daunting. She offered me so many tailored solutions to try out and find what feels good for myself. Tools that I will continue to use even as our sessions have ended. She was a flexible teacher, always open to my needs, responding carefully to my feedback. I loved the follow-up emails I'd receive, having a record of our sessions, references, ideas etc.

I most recently participated in a 1-hour session with Mirin, and I felt instantly at ease and comfortable to have an open conversation, answering questions and sharing in some of my history as well. She is very intuitive and has a great sense of people and the elements that surround them, bringing her own insights and passion for wellness to provide a path for healing. She is a very kind, warm-hearted soul, and I truly think everyone would benefit from getting to experience the support she provides.

Mirin and I met through Instagram. It was divine timing! At the time, I was feeling stuck in an emotional experience that wasn’t serving me and my existing tools were failing me. I knew I needed something new. After our sessions, I felt more aligned - body, mind and soul. Mirin offered a supportive environment during our calls. I felt understood and validated. Mirin provided me with a plethora of tools that have continued to support my emotional healing journey. I am grateful for Mirin and highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for support in navigating their healing journey.

Mirin is such a powerful healer! Her heart and intentions are pure and it is EASILY felt during a session with her. When I had my session with Mirin, I was actually living in a different country than her (thank god for technology) - but it felt as if we were together. That’s how warm, big and expansive her energy is!!! After our session I felt lighter, freeer and had much more clarity around the situation we were discussing. I would highly recommend her services to ANY of my family or friends

Thank you for the time we spent in the sessions because for me it was really essential to be able to recover and to reconnect with myself, something what i was searching for long time. Thank you Mirin for being such a special coach, because that is very difficult to find.

I’d just like to thank you for everything you helped me through this year. Our conversations helped me greatly to process my thoughts and feelings and I’m happy to say I’m coping much better since our work together. Talking through those difficulties with you was so helpful to gain perspective and patience – Thank you.

I have always, for as long as I can remember, struggled with silence and stillness. That stillness and silence was a space where I would experience an almost suffocating, heavy discomfort. Past trauma would creep in- It was overwhelming, confusing and scary. Constant distraction allowed me to stop the flow of emotion. Busyness was (and still is) a tool that I use to numb myself and escape those uncomfortable realities. Initially, working with Mirin, I had a difficult time with slowing down and feeling. Just like all the times before those same feelings, self doubt and judgements kept coming up. Mirin’s support encouraged me to keep going. She helped me navigate the self-judgment and doubt and even made it light-hearted and fun. When my mind would berate myself for not "doing it right" "or thinking too much" she would remind me that there is no right way to be present and thoughts are not who we are. She allowed me to feel safe in my vulnerability and created a space where I was able to explore my inner landscape and my own emotional holdings. With the tools and practices I learned through Mirin I feel more capable of managing my anxiety and stress. Most importantly, this practice has given me an opportunity to look within myself and to create more authenticity and joy in my daily life. I am still working on it. This wasn't an overnight fix. But going forward I know I have resources within myself to handle *anything*. And I know Mirin will be there to support me along the way. So grateful to Mirins guidance!

Recently, I had a one on one session with Mirin. I have deep seeded life old patterns of self-sabotage. I struggle with creating healthy boundaries, with asking for what I want, for what I need, for what I deserve. I struggle with the overpowering need to please everyone around me. Including those whose behaviour shows me I will never be good enough for them. Even the seemingly simples act of caring for and loving oneself is difficult for me. These were the things that were coming up for me. These were the things I wanted to run from but forced myself endure. That’s where Mirin comes in, she helped me find more clarity in what I was experiencing. I have never met Mirin in person, but throughout our calls I felt completely safe and at ease even with all the vulnerability involved in a practice like this. I felt heard and understood and she was a fantastic resource for other tools and resources that I could add into my regular practice. I went into the first session feeling apprehensive and uncertain about myself, but I left it with newfound clarity and confidence. Mirin is one of the most unconditionally supportive and loving people I have ever met. She is perfectly suited for this line of work and I recommend getting in touch with her if you are struggling with any big emotions or life events.

"From the first meeting with Mirin, I didn't know what to expect from the sessions, but I felt such an ease with her and for the first time in my life i wasn’t ashamed or fearful speaking about myself and my past. I’ve learnt to talk about the future and putting  plans in place, I learnt I can’t keep going over the past and the what ifs as it is never  going to change the present moment and that’s all that matters. I really have had such a positive influence from going to counselling and making changes in my lifestyle"
