About Miyako Nagai, C. CHt. /AHA1 Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist
Thank you for visiting my website.
My name is Miyako Nagai.
I believe that true change begins from within. Hypnotherapy is a powerful approach that can support not only the challenges we struggle to overcome consciously, but also the goals we deeply wish to achieve. It offers a gentle yet empowering path to explore your inner world, heal from within, and gradually move forward.
In each session, I create a safe and calming space where you can relax and connect with your subconscious mind. My aim is to help you rediscover your inner strength, gain insights, and open up to new possibilities. I tailor the approach to each individual, drawing from evidence-based hypnotherapy techniques as well as imagery work, NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming), and EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques). If it feels right for you, I’m also happy to incorporate spiritual perspectives that I’ve studied over the years in a natural and supportive way.
Whether you wish to move forward as your true self, clear inner confusion, heal emotional exhaustion, or find relief from stress and anxiety—I am here to support you, gently and wholeheartedly. I believe that each of us holds a deep strength, a unique essence, and a grounded center within.
You don’t have to walk this path alone. By connecting with the limitless power of your subconscious, we can gently find your next step together. It would be an honor to support you on your journey toward becoming the version of yourself you truly want to be.
How did I choose my path?
I was born and raised in Yokohama, Japan. In 1999, I came to the U.S. and pursue my education, eventually graduating from a university in San Diego in 2002. Subsequently, I dedicated many years to a fulfilling career as a CPA until I became a certified hypnotherapist.
Like many people, I’ve faced numerous challenges in life. I often found myself wondering, “Why do we go through so many struggles in life?” and “Why are we born?” In search of answers, I turned to spirituality and started to study it seriously. I also read various self-help books, and after coming to the United States, I sought individual and couples counseling, continuously searching for ways to overcome life’s challenges and become the person I wanted to be.
One day, an old book caught my eye—Dr. Brian Weiss’s Many Lives, Many Masters. At the age of 30, I had undergone several past-life regression sessions, recalling numerous past lives, which turned out to be invaluable experiences. This ignited a passion in me to learn everything I could about hypnotherapy. I discovered that hypnotherapy is not only a profound tool for exploring past lives but also a highly effective method for addressing a wide range of challenges, including stress management, overcoming fears and phobias, breaking unwanted habits, enhancing self-confidence, and even supporting physical healing.
As I delved deeper, I learned that hypnotherapy is recognized in the medical field and is even provided at well-known hospitals to assist patients with pain management, anxiety relief, and pre- and post-surgical recovery. Driven by this realization, I enrolled in a college of hypnotherapy in the U.S. to become a hypnotherapist, determined to help others unlock their inner strength and achieve positive transformation. That journey has brought me to where I am today, and I am honored to share the power of hypnotherapy with you.
Life is an endless journey.
We are bound to encounter various challenges and difficulties along the way. Instead of wandering aimlessly through this journey, I believe we can transform our lives by identifying how we want to live and who we want to become, then taking steps in that direction.
When it feels difficult or impossible to figure this out on your own, I would be truly honored to support you through hypnotherapy.
