Hi. I am Kimine Mayuzumi, PhD.
I love helping overwhelmed higher-ed professionals turn anxiety, imposter feelings, depression, and burnout into clarity, purpose, and focus.
Together, we work on creating sustainable practices that lead to both personal and professional fulfillment.
Based on our BLSD principles, I’ve had the joy of supporting hundreds of higher-ed pros through my resources and programs.
Yes, I have witnessed their significant transformations.
It is possible to navigate productivity-driven lives while prioritizing holistic wellbeing.
Our mission is to help you find meaning and fulfillment on your own terms, especially within an academic context shaped by neoliberal pressures and inequities, which disproportionately impact minoritized individuals.
You deserve to live with a sense of ease, flow and purpose.
I would be honored to support you!
