As a woman advancing in your career in Japan, it’s normal to go through crazily busy and difficult times—especially when responsibilities grow, your workload explodes, or you step into a new role (not to mention commitments outside work!).
If you’re like many women, you might hesitate to ask for help.
At first, you tell yourself, “I just need to work harder and push through. もっと頑張らないと！”
But deep down, you worry about meeting everyone’s expectations.
Your mind feels scattered, and it’s hard to make good decisions.
You may feel lost and overwhelmed.
The exhaustion—physical, mental, and emotional—starts to take over. ヘトヘトもやもや。
And those around you don’t seem to fully understand what you’re going through.
As a working mother with a 3-decade corporate and entrepreneurial career in Japan who’s experienced burnout more than once, I get it.
But I learned to do things differently.
Now, with my team of expert coaches, I’m here to help :)

(おまけに英語もレベルアップできます!)
These are real and typical results that our program graduates have achieved.
I've seen it happen (and you'll see some of the stories below).
But the question is how could this be possible for you—with your unique schedule, situation, and needs?
Introducing
Women’s Success Essentials
Women’s Success Essentials is a transformational online group program for women in Japan to go from feeling stressed and struggling to having clarity, confidence, and calm in just 3 months.
The program is unlike any other professional development program for women in Japan.
It's unique and gets unrivaled results because it's founded on the Sasuga! Success Cycle, which teaches participants essential mindset techniques, professional skills, and habits around
PHASE 1: Care For You - embracing selfcare as a success strategy - not just physical selfcare, but also mental and emotional selfcare through thought patterns and habits for greater energy and creativity at work
PHASE 2: Create Your Plan - developing a long-term Vision, setting program goals to overcome current challenges, and planning realistically toward them even in a demanding work environment
PHASE 3: Communicate Your Ideas - speaking up clearly, confidently, and convincingly, facilitating meetings efficiently, and understanding influencing essentials
PHASE 4: Complete Your Tasks - getting the important things done at the right time by setting boundaries and using best practice techniques for productivity
But Women's Success Essentials is not just about cultivating a positive mindset, polishing professional skills, and developing helpful habits.
What’s distinctive about the unique methodology is that it supports women to recognize and leverage their hormonal and physical changes, which are VERY different from the male experience and usually overlooked in the workplace.
When women understand and start to align with their natural ups and downs (whether they're menstruating or not, in perimenopause, or menopause) and know how to compensate when they have no control over work timing, they discover how to perform with even greater excellence and ease. How great is THAT???

What do past program participants say?
I overcame my uncertainties and struggles
“As a mother and entrepreneur, I had lots of uncertainties and struggles and always wanted to do something about those “weaknesses.” I thought it wasn’t right that I was always swamped with work and I wanted to change the way I was working.
I had a busy schedule and was already working and taking another course. At first, I wasn’t sure about taking another program on top of that. But I’m truly glad that I joined. All the participants were lovely women, and I always felt it was an environment where I could get realizations and motivation. For any women wondering whether to join, definitely take that step!”
Emi
I'm leading a life that I feel happy with
"Another year would go by with me feeling just “ugh” about work and being a mother. I was always tired and constantly sighing. I was overwhelmed with day-to-day tasks and kept putting off the idea of investing in myself. I now carefully choose what’s important for me and am leading a life that I feel happy with."
Akiko
I'm now happy to step out of my comfort zone
"I had been thinking about challenging myself to move to a higher position within my company, but didn't have the confidence and thought I wasn't qualified. However, through the program, I started to realize that this was just my own thinking and was not a fact. I gained confidence and decided to talk with my bosses - and I got a promotion! I'm now happy to step out of my comfort zone."
Maiko
I became confident and can now be more than who I was
"I started having an "essentialism" way of thinking and began to notice when I’m comparing myself with others. When I do, I switch my focus to something more meaningful."
Kanako
This is a turning point
in my life
"I felt the world is big and life is short. Why do I push myself so hard? Because of the first session being “Selfcare” and Helen’s mindset, I realized their importance and was able to change little by little throughout the whole program. I understood that other women were having similar problems even with different types of jobs. And I got a wider viewpoint outside my business industry. Thank you for everything. I believe this is a turning point in my life"
Keiko
I thought that I didn't have time - but I did!
"It wasn't an easy decision for me to take the program since my schedule was tight. But as I started taking the course and learning the method, I realized that I was managing my time much better than before and wasn't panicking at the thought that I didn't have time!!"
