Audrey Kaihatsu is the author of The Essential Handbook of Daily Zen Hacks Series, creating guides dedicated to helping people—especially the busiest adults and teens—navigate life’s ups and downs with resilience, inner strength, and peace. Finding their calm, clarity, and balance in the real world. Born with the grit, compassion, and resilience of a Navy Chief father and a transplanted Japanese WWII survivor mother, Audrey grew up as a fearless tomboy—driving tractors, hauling hay, and tackling anything life threw her way. Her journey has spanned nursing, horticulture, excavation, small business ownership, and the fast-paced world of airline gate operations. By the time she was 28, Audrey was already a mother of three and a multi-business entrepreneur, navigating high-stress industries with drive, humor, and heart. But beneath her go-getter energy lies a lifelong quest for something deeper: peace. Inspired by her mother’s quiet wisdom and cultural roots, Audrey has spent decades studying Buddhism and seeking out energy and teachings from around the world. From hidden forest temples in Japan to sacred sites in Southeast Asia and tranquil meditation halls across the U.S., she has immersed herself in global spiritual traditions—learning from monks, healers, and teachers while refining her own deeply personal practice of mindfulness. Even after an auto accident led to early retirement, Audrey didn’t stop. She shifted inward—caring for her parents with dementia while continuing her mission to make peace and wellness accessible to everyone. Her work distills the best of what she’s learned—ancient Zen tools, practical stress-relief strategies, and powerful breath and body resets—into something fast, approachable, and deeply human. Audrey’s voice is rooted in experience and love. Her mission is to help others reclaim their energy, manage the chaos, and reconnect with their inner stillness—even in the middle of the storm. Because as she’s learned in temples, airports, and at the kitchen table: peace isn’t somewhere far away. It’s already inside you, waiting to rise. Audrey’s mission is to help people, especially the busiest adults and teens, Her journey is a testament to the power of adaptability, resilience, and a strong-willed woman carving her own path.
