Description
Hi, I’m Maminko from Japan.
I’m in my 40s and starting a new chapter of my life through traveling and volunteering.
I used to run a beauty salon in Tokyo, where I worked with many customers and managed daily operations.
I have been experiencing contact with people's skin and hearts.
Prior to that, I worked in the legal and jewelry industries. I have the discipline I developed in my legal career, as well as the delicate sensitivity I gained from working with jewelry.
In your space, I can provide a special experience that combines Japanese healing (beauty salons), health (Pilates/yoga), and Japanese food culture, and bring smiles to the faces of your guests and families.
I love Yoga, Pilates, and Dance.
I'm especially into Brazilian Zouk.
I'd love to meet someone who would join me for a Brazilian Zouk class or party.
I’m a calm, responsible, and open-minded person. I enjoy supporting others, working as part of a team, and learning from different cultures.
I’m traveling solo and looking for meaningful experiences where I can contribute, connect with people, and grow together.
I have a background in Legal work and the Jewelry business so I am very organized and trustable.
