Come home to yourself.
Start the CourseYour place for the behind-closed-doors therapy skills you’ve always wanted—at your own pace, without the pressure.
Â
For the high-achieving, heart-heavy humans who...
- Are in therapy, but want something deeper between sessions
- Or aren't in therapy, but crave that level of insight and support
- Feel like they're doing all the right things but still feel stuck
- Carry cultural complexity and emotional weight that no checklist can fix
- Want change but not through hustle shame or self-blame
- Are usually the readers, the researchers, the self-aware ones, but are just too tired to keep doing it alone
- Are ready to feel like themselves again, but more rooted, more whole
Â
This isn’t just self-help.
It’s therapist-informed support designed for the in-between—the space where insight meets actual movement.
Most people don’t get the real tools until months into therapy.
You have to find the right fit, navigate insurance, build trust...
And all that time? You’re still carrying everything alone.
This is different.
- Nervous system support that actually fits into real life
- Emotional insight without emotional overwhelm
- Language for the quiet, cultural ache of living in-between
- Space to land—not perform
It’s not therapy.
It’s the work we eventually get to in therapy—available to you now, with warmth, clarity, and no pressure.

Meet Jenny Mariko
I’m a licensed therapist, a mother, a course creator—and someone who’s had to unlearn a lifetime of people-pleasing just to find my way back to myself.
I was raised by an immigrant mother who taught me how to survive by staying small. Keep your head down. Be agreeable. Don’t make waves.
She gave me everything she had—but she couldn’t show me how to thrive in a world she was still trying to survive herself.
I also navigated a complicated relationship with my father, learning early to tune into everyone else’s needs while muting my own.
That pattern shaped much of my early adulthood—including a marriage built around keeping the peace rather than honoring my truth.
Eventually, I found myself deeply disconnected and profoundly unhappy.
It took unraveling everything to realize:
You can’t build a fulfilling life by abandoning yourself.
Now, my work is about helping others come home to themselves—without shame, without burnout, and without waiting for someone else’s permission.
Â
Â
For over 15 years, I’ve supported bicultural, high-achieving, emotionally overloaded people in their healing journeys.
Through therapy, community work, and now online tools and courses, I offer:
- Therapist-informed support for people ready to move from survival mode to sustainable thriving
- Practical nervous system tools for everyday life
- Emotional clarity and voice work, without the overwhelm
- Healing guidance for those who live at the intersection of culture, family, duty, and longing
This space is for you—whether you’re in therapy, between therapists, or building your own path.
You belong here.
You’re not broken.
You’re just in the middle of your homecoming.

"Working with Jenny has been a truly healing experience."
"As a child of immigrant parents who was struggling showing up both in my personal and professional life, engaging in the self development coaching sessions with Jenny has helped me work through some of these barriers and challenges I was experiencing. From learning how to create healthy boundaries for myself to exploring my sense of duty vs autonomy when it came to my identity and family, this all helped give me the tools I needed to continue to do this work. Jenny is a remarkable coach and an amazing human. It is a gift to have her work alongside you as you go on this journey of discovery and healing."
