✎ I highly recommend Kayomi’s English coaching as well as her career and job coaching services. I took her coaching to prepare for my first job interview with a large U.S. company after I relocated from Japan to Hawaii. When I emailed her, she immediately responded and offered a free, trial coaching session. I was not familiar with coaching, and I thought that she would just give me some advice. To my surprise, Kayomi took the time to really listen to my career goals and current circumstances. I felt understood. And then she suggested a plan with action steps to achieve my goals. I went on to pass the 1st, 2nd and final interviews and then landed my dream job!…Read More …

I would not have been able to accomplish this successful result without Kayomi’s coaching. I had no prior knowledge and experience in how U.S. companies conduct job interviews and how to prepare for them. I took a total of 7 sessions. Kayomi has many years of experience as an interviewer and Human Resources Manager in large-scale U.S. hotels. She shared great insights and interview techniques as well as how to relax and connect with interviewers. All the things I learned from her session made a huge difference and led to my success. I will definitely seek her coaching again in the future when I pursue a new position to advance my career. ~ T.I., Flight Attendant, Hawai’i


✎ “If you are serious about making your dreams come true then I recommend Kayomi’s coaching.
I started coaching with her on 9/19/2014, and I had two goals in mind:
1. Moving to an ideal place — Goal achieved 10/17/2014.
2. Win first place at Toastmasters Hawaii — Goal achieved 11/7/2015.
I thought that it would take much longer to achieve my goals. There is no doubt that Kayomis coaching helped my dreams quickly come true…Read More …

She is kind. She supports and encourages you in many ways. She sometimes shares her own experience in life. Coaching with Kayomi brought me deep awareness and spiritual healing. I used coaching sessions to focus on my dreams, get inspirations and take the necessary actions. Your desire changes life. I wish that your dreams come true quickly and that you live a fulfilled life. ” ~ Mayumi Otaki, Business Interpreter, Hawai’i


✎ “I was facing a wall and lost my confidence, when I came to Kayomi’s life coaching. I was not certain if I could continue living in a foreign country (Hawaii) and building my career. I was afraid of taking my next step. It took me a while to contact her. I was not sure if I could openly share my personal issues and take advice from someone whom I have never met. I am glad I did! Talking to Kayomi opened the new door for me. I achieved one of my dreams shortly after…Read More …

She was truly supportive and completely believed in my ability to succeed. I could feel her strong support through each Skype session. I quickly opened up and trusted her. What I loved about her coaching was how gently she guided me to organize my thoughts and come up with my own best solution without pushing her “expert advice.” I was also inspired by her charming smile. I was able to take my big courageous step because of Kayomi’s coaching. She has skills and techniques to listen to my true voice, which was hidden and rather complicated. I will seek her coaching again in the future!

✎ “I recently sat down with Kayomi Kaneda to discuss my life goals. I am goal oriented and have little trouble setting and attaining goals…Read More …

However, once in a while a goal seems to be just a bit more elusive maybe due to road blocks, distractions and other impediments, thus I sought out Kayomi. She helped me to identify and focus on a goal, to identify obstructions, and create a more direct path to getting results. This whole process was very enjoyable and really saves time. The end result is an incredibly nice internal feeling of having set out to achieve, then actually attaining my goal.” ~ T.G., Project Manager & Researcher, Hawai’i


✎ “Life coach Kayomi Kaneda was highly recommended to me by a friend who was helped enormously by Kayomi. I e-mailed Kayomi and got a warm, helpful response immediately…Read More …

We quickly established our first introduction and session. To prepare, Kayomi suggested that I think about my goals and what I hoped to achieve in life coaching, and in my life. I had two sessions with Kayomi, and they were both tremendously helpful. Kayomi asked important probing questions that helped me articulate my short and long term career goals. I appreciated her kindness and her directness. Kayomi is extremely sensitive, communicative, gentle and encouraging. It is truly amazing how much came into focus for me in such a short amount of time. This is no doubt due to Kayomi’s inborn talent and considerable skills. I recommend her without hesitation.” ~ E.F., Professor, Hawai’i


✎ “I had never been to a life coach before, but when I saw Coach Kayomi’s offer for a free introductory session, I decided to give it a try. I was at the point in my life where, although everything was basically going fine, I had some important decisions to make. But for some reason, I was avoiding making these decisions…Read More …

It felt like my thoughts were all jumbled, like bees buzzing around in my head. I couldn’t really focus or effectively weigh the pros and cons. Meeting with Coach Kayomi allowed me to carve out the time to focus on something important to me. She was wonderful – very caring, wise and respectful. It was like she held up a mirror at just the right angle to allow me to see things in a different light. I never felt pushed or pressured, or that she was making value judgments or telling me what to do. Instead, she used a variety of techniques to help me work through my thoughts and feelings until I made a decision that was right for me. Before I met with her, I was a little nervous and wasn’t really sure what to expect. But I’m so glad I went. After just a few sessions, I feel confident that I’m on the right path.” ~ B.B., Geologist, Hawai’i


✎ “By listening to me, asking thought provoking questions at just the right moment, Kayomi was able to help me discover for myself what was really important in my life…Read More …

I was then enabled to make decisions and changes in my life to pursue my life dreams. Kayomi helped me follow and live my dreams and make them a reality. It’s a struggle to balance family, work and my own passions and hobbies. Kayomi brought an obvious solution to maximize my time by combining family and work. She has a talent to listen and really hear what direction I should be taking. My thoughts and ideas would be going around in my head, but after I had voiced it to Kayomi’s trained listening skills, I was able to change my life and prioritize what was the most important to me.” ~ J.F., Flight Attendant, Hawai’i


✎ “I did not know anything about “life coaching” until I met Kayomi. My life felt like I was this horse on the race track, racing 24/7 and not getting anywhere other than more stressed out. Kayomi embodies change. As soon as I started meeting with Kayomi calm set in…Read More …

She works with the whole person, mentally emotionally and physically. In her gentle way she knows how and when to encourage and when to push, never too much. With this technique I was able to see (remember) the importance of being aware of my obligations and equally important what inspires me. Through consistent and positive feedback and encouragement she helped me remember what is important. I “relearned” balance. If you want change and you want to learn how to change, Kayomi has the tools to do exactly that. You will learn about yourself in a very insightful and inspiring way, subsequently set the foundation for a new healthier lifestyle. What I received in working with Kayomi was such an uplifting positive experience; I state my highest recommendation for her.” ~ I.S., Project Coordinator, Hawai’i


✎ “I started coaching with Kayomi at a low point in my life. I was living alone, spending a lot of time on my computer doing the start up work for my company and entered a downward spiral of negative thoughts and emotions…Read More …

Kayomi’s insights and comments enabled me to get a clear picture of my situation. Through her coaching I questioned my beliefs and discovered the real fears I had of my situation. Through exercises we discovered together, I was able to stop and reverse the spiral. I still use many of these practices today to keep me focused and enthusiastic as I continue to work on building my business. If you have a dream that feels too big and/or overwhelming, I highly recommend working with Kayomi!” ~ L.F., ESL Teacher, Japan


✎ “I recommend anybody to experience coaching sessions from Kayomi. I learned very important life lessons from the sessions. This is different from counseling…Read More …

While counseling focuses on helping you to cope with some unpleasant situations, her coaching session will help you to grow spiritually and to find your goals. Before I received these coaching sessions, I haven’t thought of my goals. I probably had dreams and goals when I was very young, but those have been gone for a long time now. I think I was not living my life, but just living everyday. When I had injury and “just living everyday” became challenging, I felt empty inside. Then I encountered her life coaching, and I am very grateful that I took her coaching sessions. Her coaching helped me to listen to my own heart and to find my goals. Finding goals is not easy, but her coaching helps me to identify the obstacles for listening to my own heart and for finding my own goals. I realized that I didn’t know myself very well. After receiving a few sessions from her, I started noticing changes in me. I can now see more clearly what is and is not important for me and what I like to do. I think the skills I learned in the session with her will be my lifetime treasures. She also sent me a follow up email to see if I am applying the skills and how they are working in my life. Thank you Kayomi.” ~ Y.G., Hotel Concierge, Hawai’i


✎ “I highly recommend coaching sessions with Kayomi. Her presence is gentle, compassionate and deep…Read More …

I felt like she really understood me, and she listened not only to what I was saying, but also was aware of my expression and body language that speaks much more than words alone. She asked me thought provoking questions that allowed for me to go deeper into my own understanding, and as a result I felt clarity and an expanded state of awareness around the area of my life we were exploring in the session. Kayomi was able to see my essence and reflect that back to me which I really appreciated. She embodies wisdom, insight and grace; and I always feel safe and supported in her presence. She is a gift to this world, and is here to facilitate healing, transformation and life enrichment.” ~ N.H., Life Coach, Canada


✎ “Kayomi is a gentle and loving witness to my whole experience. When coaching with her, I feel I can express myself freely and openly and that all of my goals, dreams, and desires are fully honored and respected…Read More …

Kayomi’s style is warm, empowering, and gently encouraging. She has the gift of being insightful and always asks powerful questions to help me find my own answers. I always leave each coaching session with a renewed energy to help me move forward, as well as a clearer feeling about what I want and how I want to pursue it.” ~ C.T., Librarian, Virginia
