The course facilitator, Sumi Hoshiko, is dedicated to helping people create more effective change in their lives, realize their dreams, and live their most joyful and fulfilled life. After a lifetime of reading self-help books, attending seminars and meeting with counselors, she envisioned an approach that would not only be more effective, but be more accessible to more people, and thus created Change Made Easier: Simple Steps, Big Change! 

 In addition to the Change Made Easier program, Sumi offers individual life coaching. Sumi recently completed her coursework from the highly regarded Life Purpose Institute and is launching her coaching practice. She draws on past training in Non-Violent Communication (NVC) methods and somatic approaches to change.
