About Akiyo Kodera
Certified EFT Coach
Always having a desire to help people, I had a long career working in the nonprofit, health research, and academic fields. In my late 30s, as I struggled with how to move forward in my career, I was simultaneously overcome with recurring stress and anxiety from challenges in my personal and social life. Not long after, I began to experience physical health problems, which I intuitively knew were tied to my stress and anxiety. It all became too much to ignore.
I first tried multiple ways to relieve my stress and anxiety, but the effects were always short-lived. I realized that I needed to face my challenges head on to truly make a productive change.
It was then that I was introduced to EFT, which began an unexpected journey of healing and transformation. Not only did my stress and anxiety go away, I experienced changes in myself and in my life I never could have imagined. I understood the profound impact that our emotional challenges and their root causes have on our mind, body, and how we live our life each day.
Now, my focus is to empower others in finding resolution to their challenges so they can break free of their stress and anxiety.
I am based in Brunswick, Maine, but work with clients from around the world. I grew up in the U.S. and Japan, and speak English and Japanese.
