Our Approach Explained


  • Conventional medicine and drugs can be very effective, but, sometimes we may experience recurrent symptoms, or may not have a definitive diagnosis or might simply feel that we’re not living our best life.  We might want to feel more empowered and in control of our life and our wellbeing. We might want to find our true direction or discover our true potential. 

    That’s where self-healing can really help.

    Leaves Institute can teach you how to reconnect to your true self and your deep inner knowing. You will learn (or, rather, remember) how to heal yourself from the inside. You will be supported to return to a natural state of balance. You will discover a holistic approach to healing your body, mind and soul.

  • Our approach – which we call Jikochiyu (pronounced Jick-oh-chee-you)  - combines meditation, energy work and spiritual healing. It is the culmination of a lifetime of study by our founder, Yumiko Asakura, who is a qualified, experienced psychotherapist as well as a renowned shaman and healer in her native Japan. She has studied extensively in the field of complementary medicine and her unique combination of ancient wisdom applied to new techniques makes the Leaves Institute teachings unlike any other. 

    We offer powerful healing for our troubled times.

  • Everyone is different, so no two people will experience the same benefits from working with this approach. However, you may:

    Discover your true purpose.

    Realise your full potential and reconnect to your true self.

    Experience relief from physical and emotional symptoms.

    Connect with a feeling of inner peace and freedom from mental chatter. 

    Allow yourself to experience greater happiness, fulfilment and feelings of contentment.

    Connect to greater wisdom and knowing.

    Develop a better understanding of yourself.

TESTIMONIAL


“I’m really excited to have discovered Leaves Institute. You know how you just know when someone is the ‘real deal’? Each time I have been fortunate enough to listen to Yumiko I have gained another nugget of wisdom that I can use to improve my life. Really practical things, too, such as using a marble to focus on to help still my mind so I can meditate. I love the fact that she has such humility and warmth. I tend to run a mile from anyone who has the teensiest bit of The Guru about them and Yumiko has none of that despite all her wisdom and training.”
