Beyond Technique: Building Therapeutic and Empowering Tsumami Zaiku Learning Journeys

More than 2 years into my journey as a Master Trainer and Curriculum Developer for Tsumami Zaiku, I continue to learn before I teach – going through training personally, again and again, from subject matter expert Tomoko Ota with a learner’s mindset, refining not just theory but the practicum so techniques are accessible, structured, and transferable. I also spearhead all digital marketing, business development, publicity, branding and marketing initiatives for Palette Japan Asia.

The curriculum is continuously updated and refined, and as we move into our 7th iteration, I feel deeply grateful to be welcoming our 14th trainer this March 2026, an ongoing learning process that humbles me greatly.

The Tsumami Zaiku Trainer Certification Course was created to ensure that skills are passed on with professionalism, consistency, and integrity, so that at a glance, one can recognise the standards and values we represent under Palette Japan, while also equipping trainers with essential knowledge in branding, marketing, publicity, and digital marketing—areas that are my core expertise, strengthened by my DDDLP and ACLP training.

Through my yoga therapy journey, I came to realise that crafting and other mindful hobbies support the Manomaya Kosha by calming the mind and regulating emotions, reinforcing my belief that skill-based learning can be both therapeutic and empowering, especially for women seeking confidence, independence, and sustainable pathways.

As we move into 2026, I will also be developing short yoga courses alongside a full suite of programmes in branding, marketing, entrepreneurship, customer service, sales, digital marketing, teamwork, collaboration, and business strategy – continuing to integrate mindfulness, professionalism, and purpose in all that I do.

Art and music have been my lifelong passions. From singing alongside adults as a young girl and performing in competitions to exploring lyric writing, I find deep meaning in weaving words into melodies. Painting, craftwork, embroidery, and sewing are my creative outlets, allowing me to express stories through colors and textures. In recent years, I’ve been channeling my love for music, arts, and entertainment into meaningful projects, leveraging my connections to support and amplify these works. Every piece I create, whether a song or a handcrafted accessory, is a reflection of my commitment to preserving artistry and sharing joy through creativity.
