I stumbled across Minka Brooklyn soon after moving to New York. It was one of those very Brooklyn places I was very thrilled existed and couldn't wait to check out now that I lived in the city. Aki, the founder was kind, nurturing, and sweet right off the bat. She gave me a tour of the space and a full treatment of Reiki and flower essences, both of witch I had never experienced. I knew immediately I wanted to now more about Aki, her story and the genesis of her holistic healing wonderland, Minka.  We recorded this conversation a few weeks ago on a Sunday afternoon in her cozy office. We talked for hours on everything from holistic healing to her fascinating story of immigrating from Japan at 18, moving to New York, dealing with depression, motherhood, and entrepreneurship.  We get into so many topics including dabbling in lots of different things, healing tools for depression, wellness, connecting to your true purpose, tarot readings, activism, self-care, masculine/feminine energies, flower essences, reiki, and so much more. Her advice on relationships is some of the best I've heard and there are so many wise moments throughout this. I know you'll love her throughout this long meandering conversation.   Notes from the Show:-Aki Online | Facebook  | Twitter-find Aki's wellness space, Minka Brooklyn Online | Instagram | Facebook -the compound co-working space (the brother organization) masculine and feminine-DBT therapy (dialectical co-behavior therapy)-I mentioned going to Sqirl in L.A. — discovered this spot with Lynn Chen (past podcast guest)-Zodiac Lounge-Dropping Seeds herbal blends-Music: Jazzanova-Books: James Baldwin &amp; Holistic Tarot-Podcast: On Being &amp; Hidden Brain-Movies: Whale Rider &amp; ElizabethCool Things to Check-Out:-LISTENER GIVEAWAY -- enter before November 15th, 2017 to win a package of some of my favorite things!
