FREE Event for ages 0-99
Are you finding it increasingly difficult to focus for long periods of time?
As if you can actually feel your attention span dwindling?
Are you noticing that more and more, people's tolerance for one another + minor inconveniences is decreasing? Maybe you're seeing it in yourself?
Congratulations, you’re paying attention!
Self-awareness is the first step towards better self-care.
What if I told you that the solutions to your problems are so simple that they're child-like?
On Saturday, May 24, join ERMELS Consulting for a live, 60-minute class that focuses on the holistic health practices of the healthiest + longest-living people on the planet: Okinawans (Ryūkyūans).

Testimonials
Your host
Haitai! (Hello in Okinawan)
I’m Stephanie, creator of ERMELS Consulting and I’m honored to teach this class that marries two of my passions: Asian culture and mental health. My background is in early childhood education and my life’s work is teaching others how the life experiences between the ages of 0-8 years impact the rest of our lives.
I was born on the island of Okinawa, Japan, to an Okinawan mother and American father. At the age of 6 months my father’s shipping business took us to Taiwan for 3 years, then Indonesia for 3 years, then the Philippines for 4 years, before my mother and I moved back to Okinawa, Japan – where I lived from 11-18 years old. Although I am an American citizen, my first time living in the US was for college at 18.
As a result of my upbringing, I call Asia home and experienced tremendous culture shock upon moving to the States. I also made profound connections in America and began learning everything that I could about emotional intelligence + mental health – a language that barely exists in Asian culture. I’ve enjoyed doing that with children for over 20 years and now I love connecting with children (inner + outer) ages 0-99. 🙂
It is my passion to teach others about my Okinawan culture and our secrets to lifelong health + vitality.
