Dr. Eka is a psychiatrist, trauma therapist, and mindfulness coach known for her warm and heartfelt greeting as a content creator, “Hi, how are you?”. Her deep belief that even in a fast-moving world, we can choose to live with awareness, gentleness, inner clarity, and self-leadership.
She became a medical doctor in 2011, a psychiatrist in 2020, and earned her Ph.D. in Psychiatry in 2024 from Niigata University, Japan, with a research focus on mental health in the population of women, children, and adolescents.
Beyond her credentials, she is someone who has walked through major life crises, burnout, overgiving, perfectionism, emotional exhaustion, and depression, and discovered that healing doesn’t mean “being strong all the time,” but learning to come home to yourself with honesty and love amidst the life challenges.
To deepen her knowledge and service, she has completed several international certifications and advanced training, including:
● Internal Family Systems (IFS) Level 1 fromIFS Institute
