Hello!

Born and raised in Japan, and calling New Zealand my second home since 2014, I discovered climbing in July 2022. Since then, it has become a central part of my life, taking me from indoor walls at Boulder Co. to outdoor routes across New Zealand, Portugal, and Morocco.

I’m passionate about supporting others through climbing, which inspired me to start Wāhine On The Wall. Whether it’s building confidence and skills or simply enjoying movement, my aim is to create a welcoming and encouraging space where climbing feels more like an adventure than a workout.

Beyond climbing, I have a background in teaching the Japanese language and the Tsugaru Shamisen, a traditional Japanese instrument. These experiences have shaped my teaching style and strengthened my ability to adapt to different learning styles, helping others recognize their own strengths — through language, music, or climbing.

I can’t wait to meet you and support you on your climbing journey!
