After her own cervical cancer, she obtained various certifications in oriental medicine, naturopathic medicine, medicinal herbs, and macrobiotics. She was fascinated by "Mochi-diagnosis," a method of diagnosing a person's physical condition by looking at the person's face, and studied it further.

Later, after more than 15 years of experience as a lecturer and dietary counselor of Mochi-diagnosis, Oriental medicine, and medicinal herbs, she founded "Feminine Mochi-diagnosis (R)," an eating care for women. Her original method of building a rust-free body with supermarket ingredients has been well received by people of all ages, from children to the elderly over 80 years old.

In 2023, with the desire to "create a society full of people who are healthy and beautiful in mind and body, and who can challenge their dreams with confidence at any age," she launched the Japan Mochi Health Care Association(R) and is spreading "Kirei Yakuzen" in Japan and abroad together with many instructors.
