Travelling
Description

Hello, beautiful humans out there!

My name is Kaori. I was born in Tokyo and have lived in various countries in Europe (UK, Spain, Italy, Portugal) and in Central-South America (Mexico, Chile, Peru, Colombia), where I studied and worked with children and their families at social risk. After my first stay for 1.5 years in South America, I studied baby massage, then expanded my therapeutic/ healing skills, knowledge & experiences such as facial reflexology, energy medicine, ancient female mysteries, astrology, animal communication, etc.

Last 4 years I lived in Portugal, where I facilitated women's circles and worked with ceremonial cacao, holding space for self-awareness and inner healing. I offer unique private sessions for women, facial reflexology with closing ritual based on Mexican midwifery traditions. I have some working experience in hospitality, including hostels, event venues, and retreat centres.

Some of my interests at this moment in life include learning about growing my own food, being part of a community to create heaven on earth in togetherness, and celebrating cycle of life today and everyday! I hugely enjoy travelling, belly dancing, connecting with beautiful-minded people, playing with the Mother Earth and animals, and living a life that matters. I see myself as a down to earth, curious, open-minded, responsible, dedicated, observant, compassionate, and fun-loving human being. Travelling around the world (since 2006) has been one of the best teachers ever for me. I am always looking for new experiences and encounters that allow me to grow and learn more about myself.

I stayed with Jhanuby and her son Amaru for 6 weeks and I'm struggling to find best words to describe how grateful I am for this encounter. Jhan is a wise, gentle, and loving woman, mother and I now feel honoured to call her my dear sister from different mothers. I helped her mainly in her medicinal plant and herb garden, which can be physically … read more

Suzanne & Diederick have got a magical project in a magical forest, where I felt strong pure energy and full of spirit. They are building a very unique house in the forest, respecting all beings and in harmony with nature.

I spend a month with Elizabetta, Carlotta, Emanuele, and two proud Akita dogs, Ryu and Maiko. I enjoyed my stay as we had so much in common, especially love for dogs and good food!

Kaori è una donna meravigliosa, molto profonda. Stare in sua compagnia è magico, riesce a farti stare bene con la sua tranquillità, con il suo essere sempre rilassata. La sua presenza nella mia casa è stata molto gradita, e quando vorrà potrà tornare! La cosa che mi piace di lei oltre a ciò che ho già scritto è il suo amore per il cibo italiano! … read more
