Originally from Osaka, Japan.

After working as a nurse in hospitals and an obstetric clinic in Japan, I moved to the Netherlands, where I have been working in kraamzorg since 1998.

In my work, I value personal attention, calmness, and individualized care for mothers, babies, and their families.

My hobbies include reading, classical music, cooking, and traveling.
