In Japanese, Katsura means the path of life or a way forward. It represents the journey we take to find meaning and growth, especially through life’s challenges. Within the Heartache Helper approach, Katsura symbolizes the starting point of self-examination—the conscious decision to walk through one’s pain instead of avoiding it. It is where we begin tracing the threads of experience, loss, and resilience to understand how they shape our path.
At Heartache Helper, the Katsuro path guides clients to gently uncover what has been buried beneath survival patterns. It emphasizes awareness, curiosity, and compassion as the first steps toward transformation. Through reflective dialogue, somatic awareness, and integrative practices, Katsuro becomes both a mirror and a map—helping you see where you have been and where you wish to go, walking beside with me to steadiness and care as you rediscover meaning in the midst of change. With my 25 years in various therapies including Somatic body therapies, Eastern philosophies, and varied career as a homeschooling, single parent who is Autistic 1 herself, I listen from Lived in experiences and challenges, and parlay my deeply empathetic nature to helping others today.
