Dr. Yoshi is a Japan-trained medical doctor with a background in psychiatry. Through years of clinical experience, she came to recognize that many modern mental health challenges cannot always be resolved through medication alone.

Alongside her work as an occupational physician and online counselor, she supports many people each month who are navigating stress, emotional challenges, and the demands of everyday life. Her approach is holistic and mindful, integrating mental, physical, and spiritual wellbeing.

Her philosophy is beautifully reflected in the principles:
“Meditation over medication.”
“Movement and nutrition as prescription.”

After volunteering in communities affected by the major earthquake in Japan in 2024, Dr. Yoshi felt inspired to explore deeper, non-verbal approaches to healing. This journey led her to sound therapy, where she discovered the profound ability of vibration and music to create calm, connection, and inner restoration beyond words.

Today she continues to deepen her practice of the handpan, sharing its gentle and meditative sounds as an accessible tool for relaxation, emotional regulation, and wellbeing.

Located at around 1,000 meters above sea level in the heart of the Austrian Alps, Bad Gastein is a unique mountain village known for its healing thermal springs, majestic waterfalls, and mysterious old-world atmosphere.
For centuries, kings, emperors, artists, and seekers traveled here to restore their body and spirit in its legendary thermal waters.
Surrounded by powerful alpine nature and timeless Belle Époque architecture, Bad Gastein carries a special energy — calm, grounding, and deeply transformative. It is a place that naturally invites you to slow down, breathe deeper, reconnect with yourself, and enter a more meditative state, making it an exceptional setting for sound healing, bodywork, and water therapy experiences.
