I've had the privilege of witnessing Nanae's work, and her intuitive presence is truly something special. She listens beyond words, sensing the emotional undercurrents in the room and responding with grounded, attuned care. The way she holds space invites depth, safety, and honest connection — a testament to both her skill and her inner wisdom. I trust her deeply as a colleague and fellow practitioner.

Nanae is gentle and down-to-earth yet fierce and wise. She brings a nurturing energy coupled with the ability to challenge those in her care. She seeks depth and delivers insight with fellowship.

I’ve had the honor of knowing and witnessing the healing presence of Nanae Ito—and I can’t say enough about how special she is. I’ve personally experienced her powerful healing energy through Brainspotting, and it’s clear she holds space with deep intention and care. I also had the joy of attending her Steady Your Heart Embodiment Practice event, where her gentle guidance helped create a deeply grounding and restorative experience. She has a true gift for helping people feel seen and supported without judgment, just genuine encouragement to show up as their full selves.

If you're seeking a therapist who is present, compassionate, and rooted in mind-body healing, Kokokara Therapy is a beautiful place to begin your journey.

-Lluliana Flores, LCSW, PMH-C

Nanae is truly an exceptional person and therapist. She asks powerful questions and listens deeply, holding an intersectional and multicultural lens. I’ve had the honor of experiencing her Brainspotting sessions and thoroughly admire and recommend her work.

My session with Nanae was profound! The level of patience and finesse coupled with her determination and straightforward approach helped bring to light the things I didn’t want to look square in the eye. Nanae gently guided me to pull this information to the surface and then offered a steady hand while she helped me navigate through the intricacies of it. I felt safe to experience this breakthrough in real time with her, and also knew she wasn’t going to let me run from myself or leave the work unfinished.

I never much resonated with traditional therapy because it kept me looking in the past for answers. Nanae dove into the resistance and confusion I was experiencing in the present and offered me insight and clarity for my path forward. Every time I talk to her I feel such peace and empowerment all at once. She truly is a unique and beautiful soul. Thank you Nanae!!!

Wow, just had a powerful healing session with Nanae - wow wow wow, this was life changing in my relationship with my mom. This heals years of trauma and it’s all because of what she brought to me. So much more peace in my life and understanding and release that I can finally move on in an empowered way, no longer be trapped by the past.

Forever grateful that I had this session with her. She is powerful and so good at what she does.

-Jess Gray, Intuitive Healer, Channeled by Jess

I had such a powerful session with Nanae, she’s honestly an incredible intuitive. She helped me clear and get to the root of my fear tied to thunderstorms. She picked up on the lack of safety and nurturing I didn’t get from my mom. We ended up connecting with my younger self in such a deep way. I cried hard, but it was the kind of release I didn’t know I needed. She also gave me practical but really grounding tools to help move the fear out of my body.

I left the session feeling lighter, clearer, and like a part of me had finally been seen and held. Truly a life-changing experience.

- Amber, Intuitive Healer

Nanae is such an extraordinary intuitive reader. She’s given me deep, meaningful messages for myself and for people in my family. Every single one of them has resonated so strongly. She’s incredible at decoding reflections and always brings such a thorough, detailed approach to her readings.

On top of that, her personality is so fun and uplifting. Our sessions are always such a great experience. I trust her completely and feel so safe being myself with her, whether I’m laughing, crying, or both. Working with Nanae is truly a gift. SHE IS A GIFT! I highly recommend Nanae! She will change your life!

-Kasey Diaz, Intuitive Healer

Nanae is such a beautiful soul, in her session she helped me see and acknowledge parts of my inner child that were left unattended for years. I had a huge & beautiful release in her session and then with her healing practices I felt super light, I could feel my child self is so happy seeing me doing this inner child work. At the end of the session I saw my inner child smiling and had this lovely satisfaction in her heart ❤️ Thank you so much Nanae for creating beautiful & safe space for me & my inner child, I will always be grateful to you for this session 😇

-Kirti Basantani - Intuitive Energy Healer & Coach

The session with Nanae gave me so much clarity and a sense of peace about my Soul Path… she exudes a pure, calming energy and it felt great to connect with her. 

I’m extremely thankful for the gift she gave me yesterday as I feel so much more connected to what I am here to do and have found a new sense of trust in myself.  

I feel like I finished that read with a clearer way of seeing the path ahead and allowing myself to surrender to the process more. This session was pure gold! Thank you! ♥️

-Monica GS

Nanae is such a joy to work with! 💛 Her intuitive read into my situation was enlightening, fun and most importantly got straight to the heart of the matter. Nanae helped me to see the root cause of something that had been bothering me for several months. The “path to freedom” she saw for me was literally the opposite of what I logically thought it was! We worked on identifying the best way to handle it, and Nanae gave me a couple simple practices and exercise to do moving forward. I can say that I have been practicing these now for only about a week and a half, and I am already seeing significant improvement with the problem I wanted help with.

Beyond that, I am noticing expansive, beautiful benefits elsewhere in my life as well. Thank you so much, Nanae, for sharing your calm, light energy and your amazing gifts!

-Tracy Delia

I am so grateful for the read Nanae gave me about my financial area of life that ultimately helped me go from a forecast of rain on my wedding day to being a sunny day and the rain holding off until the end of the night after we were all inside for dinner!

Her intuition was spot on, at first I didn’t believe it could be related to this area but after deeper review, it was totally spot on. She gave 3 incredibly helpful tools in the reading that helped me shift my perception in a matter of days that ultimately changed the weather circumstance that day for me.

Not only is her intuitive read spot on, but the way she describes things makes it so much easier to integrate and her energy has you feeling like you’re in a safe space. I would highly recommend an intuitive reading with Nanae!

Nanae is an incredible intuitive. The blend of skills she brings together as a result of her background - intuition, therapy, healing; allows her to conduct precise and accurate sessions (she really got me without me saying a word!), and offer me simple and tailored action steps to shift myself and move forward. 

I've always had, almost, a "phobia" of moving house - I'd simultaneously urgently want to move but also be almost frozen when carrying out the practical steps. When I eventually would move I would go into a period of depression every time.

I need to move house (and country) next year and didn't want to do it from a place of fear and urgency, which would inevitably be followed by a turbulent emotional state. 

With her intuition, she traced this back to my childhood and gave me exercises to work with my child self, as well as small  exercises that I can do every day to cultivate a feeling of safety. These were tailored steps, not the stock standard, "nervous system regulation" exercises you usually see. I have been travelling a lot in the last few months, and practicing these exercises on the go has been life changing. It's been good preparation for a big move next year, which I feel far less urgency and fear about now.

She also picked up on the fact that a lot of the proposed move was for perceived financial reasons i.e. me expecting the move to magically result in improved finances! The exercises she gave me to help me here resulted in unexpected cash inflows and seeing money (and the move) in a completely different way. Sometimes, we need that reminder that we have far more control than we think we do.

I highly recommend Nanae as an intuitive. In fact, don't even stop to think about going to her. Just do it! She will change your life. Thank you, Nanae!
