Hi there, I’m Katheryn!

I’m the CEO of Thrive Tokyo Co., Ltd. as well as a Coach and Trainer who helps people adjust to new challenges with ease and alignment.

I’m a trained Executive, Leadership & Wellness coach (PCC) who has trained and coached thousands of professionals since 2016.

I discovered that the key to success for people in Japan is a clear purpose, cultural insights, and community. If even one of these is missing, people can feel lost or isolated.

I started Thrive Tokyo to offer coaching, leadership skills training, and community gatherings to help people with sustainable success.

How come everyone is so quiet during meetings?

“I feel empowered knowing that some of the situations that baffled me before are actually culture-based - it's much easier to solve issues knowing where they come from.”
