About Miyako Nagai
Certified Hypnotherapist & Reiki Practitioner
Hello, welcome to Miyako Hypnotherapy & Reiki!
My mission is to empower people to lead happier lives. I recognize that each of us encounters various challenges, occasionally finding ourselves stuck in less-than-ideal situations and overlooking the joy in our everyday experiences. I am here to guide individuals in overcoming challenges, realizing their goals, and manifesting their ideal selves and lives.
How did I choose my path?
I was born and raised in Yokohama, Japan. In 1999, I made the life-changing decision to come 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.
Like many, I navigated through numerous challenges in my life. Childhood trauma affected my self-esteem, leading to social anxiety. In a workaholic environment, I lost sight of my true identity and the meaning of life. I faced fertility and marriage issues, went through divorce, and grappled with mental health struggles in close relationships, including panic attacks and clinical depression—battles I fought in search of happiness over many years. And I found it. It was through hypnotherapy and Reiki that I discovered the happiest place in my whole life.
It has always been my dream and passion to assist those facing life’s struggles. Now, I’ve discovered how. With utmost conviction, I believe that hypnotherapy and Reiki have the transformative power to bring profound happiness into our lives. From the depths of my heart, I am dedicated to sharing these modalities to uplift and guide others towards a happier and more fulfilled existence.
Spiritual Journey
My spiritual journey is deeply rooted in Japanese culture and has guided me toward self-discovery. Since childhood, visiting shrines and expressing gratitude to the gods has been a natural part of my life. At the age of thirty, after experiencing a personal tragedy, I began to explore the meaning of life and learned about spirituality, seeking answers from my past through regression therapy
Through these sessions, I uncovered fascinating glimpses of my soul’s history—living as a devoted Buddhist in one life and serving as a Shinto priestess in another. These experiences helped me face the concept of death and connect with a sacred spirit that guided me to powerful insights.
I believe we are born to grow and evolve through our experiences. Life may seem unfair or full of challenges, but we also have the choice to embrace it, seek out its purpose, and live with joy and determination. Everything is in our hands! I continue to explore my soul and, through my spiritual journey, hope to help as many people as I can.
