Minimalist Tanu

Hello!

At the age of 24, I developed psoriatic osteoarticular disorder associated with palmoplantar pustulosis, and later I was also diagnosed with multiple chemical sensitivity. At one point, it became difficult for me even to get out of bed.

I also had severe allergies, and as I began reducing my belongings as a way to deal with dust, I realized that having fewer things made both my mind and body feel lighter.

My life became very simple, and before I knew it, I was living what could be described as a minimalist lifestyle.

While trying various treatments, I came to feel the need to fundamentally rebalance my body, and that was when I encountered natural therapies.

Since I had been pushing myself all along trying to heal on my own, the thought of “just returning to nature is enough” helped me let go of tension, and I still remember how my heart suddenly felt much lighter.

Even so, there were times when I would unknowingly tense up again.

Because I took things so seriously, my mind would become rigid, and ironically this often made my physical condition worse…

As I repeated this cycle, I began to realize how greatly the mind affects the body, and I also became interested in the way we hold our thoughts and attitudes.

On this website, I share honestly the ideas and practices I have learned and applied over the past 15 years to lighten both mind and body through simple approaches to clothing, food, and living, as well as ways of thinking.

I would be happy if even one small idea here could be helpful to you.

I also offer online private sessions and online courses (both paid and exclusively for women), so please feel free to reach out with any concerns or questions about your body, mind, or life.
