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 until I became a hypnotherapist and Reiki practitioner.
Like many people, I have faced numerous challenges in my life.
“Why is life so hard?” “Why are we born?” Seeking 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 could be a powerful tool to help not only myself but also many others in various areas of life. Driven by this realization, I enrolled in a university to become a hypnotherapist, and that journey has brought me to where I am today.
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 and Reiki.
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.
