YOUR COUNSELOR
Care that considers
your body and your life.
Tomomi Akasu
Founder of Elegant Aging · Wellness counselorIt has been over 40 years since I qualified as a nurse. I have not spent all of those years in a hospital. Alongside my work caring for people in medical settings, I raised three children, and I continue to watch their lives develop now that they are adults. Health screening and consultations have brought me into contact with many people’s daily lives. The loss of loved ones has also made me reflect deeply on life.
People, bodies and circumstances never stand still. Even a balanced routine needs ongoing care. I try not to rely only on past experience or titles, but to look at myself as I am today, keep learning and make adjustments along the way.
People, bodies and circumstances keep changing.
Caring for ourselves is an ongoing practice.
I respect the important role of modern medical testing and treatment. My counseling also considers the whole of a person’s daily life—things that numbers alone cannot capture.

Frequently asked questions
What will I take home?
Three practical steps chosen together for your everyday life. These may relate to food, sleep or routines, depending on your priorities. We also discuss food options you can find in your home country.
Can this tell me if I have a disease?
No. This is an experiential wellness consultation involving live blood images and a review of your daily habits. It does not diagnose or treat disease. If you have symptoms, we can suggest consulting a medical provider as appropriate.
Does it hurt?
You operate a dedicated self-sampling device to collect one drop of blood. How it feels varies from person to person, but the sampling takes only a short time.
Do I have to book more sessions?
No. Further sessions are optional. We can explain the choices if you are interested, with no pressure to continue.
