Yayoi Komiyama has over 20 years of experience in the wellness industry, where she has successfully helped countless individuals rewire their brains to cultivate a healthier relationship with food and their bodies. Her unique coaching approach, Brain to Belly, emphasizes the deep connection between the brain, body, and soul, enabling clients to achieve lasting change and peace.

Yayoi’s journey from personal struggles with food and body image to becoming a transformation specialist serves as the foundation of her work. With expertise in neuroencoding, life transformation, brain health, and working with the subconscious mind to release and upgrade oneself she
empowers clients to shift their mindset and develop a more harmonious, sane, and joyful relationship with food. Through her compassionate guidance, clients not only transform their physical appearance but also feel more empowered and magnificent in their own skin.

As a dynamic speaker, presenter, and leader in the weight health community, Yayoi brings both her personal experiences and professional training to every client she works with. Her philosophy is simple: by rewiring the brain and embracing self-love, we can reclaim freedom and peace with food.

Born in Johannesburg, South Africa, and fluent in both Japanese and English, Yayoi’s bicultural and bilingual background adds richness to her coaching. Fun fact: while her name, Yayoi, represents the old Japanese name for the month of March, she was actually born in September during the Southern Hemisphere’s spring, giving her name a playful and unique twist.

Fun Facts:

Yayoi is a huge Sci-Fi/Fantasy, Manga, and Anime fan. Come mid-October, she’s fully immersed in the world of NYC Comic Con, where her coaching takes a brief backseat to indulge in her passions. Yayoi is also a proud dog lover. Friends and family know that when asked about her own pup, she lights up and becomes the ultimate pet mama!

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING

Queen of Yo-Yo Dieting to Zen Goddess

"I was the queen of yo-yo dieting and emotional eating. Every Monday, I started a new ‘diet’ only to crash by Wednesday. Working with Coach Yayoi was the game-changer I needed. Her Brain To Belly method helped me break free from that toxic cycle, not just by changing what I ate, but by rewiring how I thought about myself.

I now eat with intention, listen to my body and finally have a healthy relationship with food and myself. This isn’t just about releasing weight; it’s about finally feeling free.

Learning Self-Care

"Self-care was always the last thing on my list—I thought I was being selfish. I was stuck in a cycle of stress eating and neglecting myself. Everyone else came first. Working with Coach Yayoi not only helped me reconnect with my body, but also made self-care a non-negotiable part of my life. Now, I prioritize my well-being, eat mindfully, and feel in tune with my body. I don't feel guilty about loving myself. I’ve never felt so balanced and alive. Yayoi truly guided me to find my courage and me!

Being Honest

With Myself

"Honest, kind and warm, but when she needs to she will ask you questions that require you to stop making excuses. She will gently, but tenaciously keep asking you thought provking questions until you get to that 'ah-ha moment". Yayoi helped me to re-wire my brain, so that I no longer struggle with eating too much or too little. I started to listen to my body and what I can to do honor it.

Grace, Growth, and Success

"Having Yayoi for a coach has been inspiring and it's helped me succeed greatly on my weight loss journey. She has helped me to realize just how connected ones thinking is to ones success when it comes to losing weight. Our overall thinking is imperative. She's helped me work through being human and therefore imperfect. I must give myself grace, that's one of the many important things she has helped me grasp and hold onto. I will forever be grateful to Yayoi for her kindness, support and encouragement."
