Initial Counseling
If you are visiting us for the first time, we invite you to consult with our director, who brings extensive experience and a trusted track record, at our introductory rate. This is the beginning of a journey to discover yourself.
How the Initial Counseling Works
Initial Counseling is available either online or in person at our Sagamihara-Ono salon. Both formats follow the process below.
1.
We will listen to your concerns based on the questionnaire you complete in advance.
2.
We will clarify the underlying nature of your concerns and what you need, and establish goals and a plan for your counseling
3.
We will teach you the HeartMath© breathing technique, which you can practice as self-care until your next session.
Heart Rate Variability (HRV) Experience
Benefits for Continuing with Individual Counseling
During an in-person session, you can experience and visualize how your heart rhythm changes and stabilizes through heart-focused breathing by using the HeartMath Institute's “Inner Balance” sensor.
As support for those who continue with individual counseling after their Initial Counseling session, the “HeartMath Method Basic Course On-Demand” is available at 50% off at any time.
There is no obligation to continue counseling after your Initial Counseling session.
Initial Counseling is intended as preparation for individual counseling as part of Clinical Care, but you are not required to continue with individual counseling afterward. If you do not feel that further counseling is necessary, there is no need to continue. Depending on your needs, we may also recommend other forms of physical care, counseling services, or medical institutions. We hope you will feel comfortable attending an Initial Counseling session, as gaining a clearer understanding of what you need can itself be valuable.
How to Apply for Initial Counseling
The process from booking your Initial Counseling session to the day of your appointment is as follows.
＊The Initial Counseling fee is 50% of the director's regular session fee.

COUNSELING SERVICES
Supporting Mental Well-Being, Self-Alignment & Resilience
At Otsuki Holistic, we offer three main counseling courses tailored to your individual needs.
Each course is designed to support your emotional healing and personal growth, helping you move forward into the next stage of your life.
Trauma-informed
Clinical Care
Restoring Inner Well-Being
You may be struggling with everyday life, tension, anxiety, impatience, or low mood.
You may want to heal from painful experiences in the past or trauma, and regain greater physical and emotional well-being.
You may want to break free from negative cycles, make peace with the past, and move forward.
You may want to strengthen your self-esteem and resilience.
You may wish to regain a sense of safety and confidence and live a healthier, more authentic life.
The Clinical Care “Restoring Inner Well-Being” Course is a process of fundamental healing and renewal for those experiencing physical or emotional difficulties, anxiety, stress, or a sense of struggle in relationships or at work, and who may feel emotionally overwhelmed or broken.
Through this process, you are supported in improving your inner well-being, learning to truly value and care for yourself, and gradually restoring your natural sense of well-being.
〜A Message from the Director〜
This course began about 20 years ago as the “Inner Well-Being Clinical Hypnotherapy” course. It was developed through collaboration with doctors in fields including psychiatry, psychosomatic medicine, pediatrics, surgery, and internal medicine, as well as pharmacists at Kampo consultation pharmacies and practitioners of acupuncture and massage. Over the years, it has matured and evolved into a process of fundamental healing and renewal.
Just as a broken bone can heal, even when the heart has been deeply hurt, it has the capacity to recover and renew itself.
The Clinical Care Course at Otsuki Holistic is a process of healing, recovery, and growth for people who are frequently absent from work or currently on leave due to physical or emotional difficulties, as well as those experiencing stress or exhaustion from relationships or their environment. The process is designed to help you gradually and safely regain a sense of safety and self-esteem.
Do you worry about how others see you and find yourself feeling anxious or tense?
Are you tired of regretting the past and repeating the same patterns?
Do you wish to value the present and live more freely and authentically?
This course supports those who are genuinely ready to make a change and move toward a way of living that creates a new future.
Throughout the process, including the practice of self-care, you will be supported in safely and steadily restoring your inner strength and well-being. By working through unresolved experiences from the past, trauma-related responses can gradually become less reactive, while greater emotional stability and resilience are cultivated.
As you reconnect with your authentic self, you may begin to rediscover what gives your life meaning and the moments that bring a deep sense of joy and fulfillment.
At turning points in life, however, you may sometimes feel constrained by old patterns or ways of being, even when you long to be more true to yourself and free. These can be meaningful times to consider a session.
We are here to support you during important periods of transition, as you move from the path you have walked so far toward the opening of a new chapter in your life.
We welcome you to begin with an Initial Counseling session alone. You will be introduced to self-care practices, and by continuing to practice them, you may gradually begin to see things from a different perspective.
Director Maiko Otsuki
Methods & Approach：
Our approach centers on careful counseling and Clinical Hypnotherapy (Inner Garden Method), combined with empathy-based counseling, breathing techniques, and meditation. These approaches are used to support a safe and steady process of healing from trauma and developing self-acceptance.
Methods are customized according to your needs and circumstances in each individual session. Alongside therapy, you will also be encouraged to continue practicing HeartMath breathing so that you can develop greater self-regulation and stress-management skills through self-care.
Four-Session Continuing Program：
Clinical Hypnotherapy is a comprehensive process aimed at addressing long-standing emotional difficulties and personality patterns and restoring inner well-being through careful counseling, Clinical Hypnotherapy (Inner Garden Method), and trauma recovery. Because this process is more like a thorough “deep clean” of the mind and heart, a series of sessions—approximately four—is generally needed. For this reason, continuing programs are available at a discounted rate.

Youth,Family Care
Support for Children, Students & Families
We provide counseling for children (elementary school students, junior and senior high school students, university and vocational school students, and other young people), as well as parents and families, addressing a wide range of concerns and challenges.
〜A Message from the Director〜
Parents and children who come to us for support are all doing their best while carrying different kinds of stress. If you or your child feels “this is too hard,” “I can't keep going like this,” or “something needs to change,” please don't wait until you reach your limit before seeking support.
We recommend that the mother or father begin with an Initial Counseling session. If possible, the child is also welcome to attend. Depending on the situation, we may speak with each person individually. We will then develop a counseling plan according to your needs, beginning first by reducing the stress experienced by both parent and child.
Even an Initial Counseling session alone can help you organize your thoughts and feelings and learn self-care practices that you can continue at home. This alone may help create a healthier environment around the child.
I am also a mother who has raised a son and a daughter into adulthood, and I have written a book about parenting. I believe that raising children is one of life's greatest challenges for parents, and one of the most meaningful roles a person can undertake. Although parenting brings great joy, there are also many situations that do not go as planned and many difficult challenges along the way. It is a great joy for me to support mothers, fathers, and grandparents as they navigate these challenges, and to see children grow in a healthy way and families regain their smiles.
At Otsuki Holistic, we have been providing consultation and support regarding children's development and parenting for more than 20 years, guided by the principles and approaches described below. Our approach is always customized according to individual needs, supporting gradual and integrated progress and growth through established methods.
Director Maiko Otsuki
Our Guiding Approach：
Children and young people are in an ongoing and delicate stage of development. For this reason, support should be approached more carefully than with adults, with full respect for their autonomy and intrinsic motivation.
Our support addresses the areas where the child is genuinely struggling while also helping them learn how to better understand and care for themselves. We help them discover their own inner strengths and resources, regain a sense of safety and self-esteem, make greater use of their capacity for growth, and develop a healthy sense of self.
Both parents and children who come to us for support are doing their best while carrying their own individual stresses. We therefore begin by reducing that stress and then provide support through the following approaches, applied gradually and comprehensively and customized according to each person's needs.
Main Methods & Approaches：
・Caring for Your Mind and Body➡︎ Practice breathing techniques based on the HeartMath Institute's science of the heart and Polyvagal Theory as self-regulation and self-care for balancing the mind and body.
(Neurophysiological approach)
・Communicating with Yourself➡︎ A counseling process that helps you honestly recognize how you feel and what you need, and develop a deeper understanding of your own emotions and needs. (Self-empathy approach)
・Communicating with Your Subconscious➡︎ A simple breathing-based meditation practice, Heartfulness Meditation, which can also be practiced by children. It encourages you to connect with the intelligence of the heart and become more familiar with the wise part within yourself. (Meditation approach)
・Healing Yourself➡︎ With gradual preparation, support a safe and manageable process of healing from trauma and restoring resilience. (Inner Garden Method hypnotherapy and trauma recovery approach)
・Affirming and Reconnecting with Your Authentic Self➡︎ Discover your inherent authentic qualities and the gifts you were born with. (Authentic Self Renewal approach)
※ First, please begin with an Initial Counseling session.
The Initial Counseling session can be attended by the mother or father alone.
If possible, your child is also welcome to attend.
During the Initial Counseling session, we will teach self-care breathing techniques to both the child and the mother.
Even when a mother or father is able to better regulate their own mind and body, this can help create a healthier family environment.
After the Initial Counseling session, individual sessions are also available on a session-by-session basis. However, as part of a continuous process, we recommend the discounted four- or five-session programs.
The session time also includes time for speaking with the mother.
The continuing program can also be shared among family members, including the mother or father, rather than being limited to the child.

The Self-Mastery Course supports therapists, coaches, business owners, and professionals and supporters in fields such as healthcare, welfare, education, sports, the arts, and media—people who have an influence on others—in strengthening their mental resilience, mastering themselves, and fully living their life mission.
〜A Message from the Director〜
You may not be facing any particular difficulty, and you may have already achieved a certain level of success, yet still feel that something is missing or wonder whether this is really enough.
You may feel that there must be more you can do, and wonder how you can continue to evolve.
You may have already experienced a certain degree of self-actualization by using your strengths to contribute to others, yet wonder where to go from here and how you can continue to make a meaningful contribution.
You may want to discover what your soul is seeking and where it is leading you, and experience more deeply those moments when you feel, “This is what I was born to do.”
As you encounter various challenges along your life's journey, you may wish to look more deeply at those challenges and gain greater insight into what life is trying to teach you.
You may feel that you have reached a turning point in your life and that it is time to make a shift in your work, health, or relationships.
You may feel the need to reassess the ways you have thought and acted up to now and shift into a new mode.
You may wish to transform situations that initially appear to be crises into opportunities for learning and growth, and continue to evolve.
You may want to overcome barriers that you have not been able to overcome before.
As you move into the next stage of your life and a new chapter, you may wish to rebuild and redefine yourself.
What can you do for yourself now to make that transition?
You may want to communicate more deeply with your inner self.
And you may wish to shed old layers and move toward a more authentic version of yourself.
You want to embrace yourself as a whole—your strengths and weaknesses, what you are good at and what you struggle with, your visible and hidden sides, and every aspect of who you are.
You may want to learn to love yourself more and, in turn, love others more deeply.
You may wish to cultivate greater openness, generosity of spirit, and genuine wisdom.
To do so, you may wish to understand your own origins, inner workings, individuality, characteristics, and your own “user manual.”
You may want to learn how to treat yourself better, care for yourself, and value yourself more deeply.
And you may wish to strengthen your resilience and become more flexible and resilient in the face of life's challenges.
You may wish for your heart and mind, subconscious and conscious awareness, to work together in greater harmony and freedom.
You may wish to connect with the core within you,
and live with a sense of alignment with your soul.
You may wish to awaken to your essential self and be fully present here and now as your authentic self.
You may wish to contribute more to others and to a better future for our planet.
You may wish to learn to walk in alignment with your inner guidance.
You may wish to remember your Soul Contract,
continue living out the purpose for which you were born, and move into the next stage of your life.
You may wish to reach a new dimension where an unexplored landscape opens before you.
You may wish to live the rest of your life fully, with no regrets.
If you feel and wish for these things, this course may be right for you.
In this era, we sincerely support you in truly embracing the life you were born into and evolving into the best version of yourself.
