About the Author:

Hi! I'm Marci. I live in Japan, follow a whole-foods flexitarian diet, use alternative healing modalities, and write about life, "yoyu," & spirituality. When I'm not writing or building websites, I love helping other soulful authors show up online with their stories.

Here on the blog, you'll get a peek into what it was like caring for my Japanese father-in-law who had Alzheimer’s, and helping my husband make a chemo-free recovery from Stage III colon cancer. Learn more about my book, Finding Yoyu.
