Marci Kobayashi is a writer, coach, and entrepreneur who has called Japan home for over 30 years. As the founder of International Education Blueprint Inc. (IEB Inc.), her business evolved from study-abroad advising to English classes and eventually web design and development for international organizations. Through personal experiences—especially caregiving for her father-in-law with Alzheimer’s and supporting her husband’s cancer recovery—Marci discovered a deep passion for coaching around the Japanese concept of yoyu. This powerful idea helps create space in life—whether time, energy, or emotional reserves—to avoid burnout and cultivate balance and resilience. Leveraging her tech-savvy background and love for holistic health, Marci helps others thrive both personally and professionally. Originally from the US West Coast, she now lives in Hiroshima, Japan, where she continues her work and writing.
