KT Hamilton - The Founder of Enriched Living - Body and Spirit
Born in the vibrant heart of Japan and anchored in the sun-soaked landscapes of Australia at my late 20s. I married to an Australian then became a mother of two boys. We landed to Japan in 2018 for my husband's work. Life's journey brought me love and the beautiful fusion of two cultures.
Both in Japan and Australia, I've explored the worlds of sales, marketing, and promotion. My journey led me to a unique chapter of exporting Japanese Sake.
My interests are the quiet joy of crafting, sewing, knitting, Japanese tea ceremony time tranquility, and the piano is new companion of my life's journey. I also love feeling fit!
Every drop of this sacred elixir carries my passion for sharing the rich tapestry of my heritage.
I would like Enriched Living is more than a digital space; it's a haven where wives and mothers can find comfort, inspiration, and shared experiences living and surviving in overseas life. Whether you're seeking parenting tips, a moment of reflection, or just a virtual hug on those challenging days, you're not alone!!

Derya Aytemiz
Born in Germany, raised in Turkey, and calling Japan home since 2009, my life has been a rich blend of diverse cultures.
From an early age, my profound passion for animals and a health-conscious lifestyle led me to pursue a Doctorate in Veterinary Medicine. During my time in Japan, I specialized in cardiovascular disease, earning a Ph.D. in life science from a national university.
In 2013, I embraced parenthood with a feline friend, and in 2015, my first human daughter was born.
Immersed in the Japanese way of life, I became increasingly aware of the prevalence of preservatives in common ingredients. This realization spurred me to make conscious choices, aiming to enhance the health and well-being of my family.
The year 2020 marked the arrival of my second daughter, and two years later, we joyously welcomed another feline member into our home. Today, we proudly represent a vibrant Turkish family, harmoniously living in the heart of Japan.
I am also happy to share my experiences and knowledges with others through Enriched Living - Body and Spirit.
Hyojeong Kim
I am originally from South Korea, and I have been living in Japan since 2009. I have a son who is currently in elementary school.
I find pleasure in various activities, including traveling, reading, listening to music, and staying informed through news in three languages: Korean, Japanese, and English. My interest in global issues motivates me to continuously learn new languages.
In the past, I used to travel the world solo before getting married. Nowadays, I relish traveling with my family and exploring various activities together, such as camping and skiing.
I sincerely hope that Enriched Living enhances the value and enjoyment in your life!
Yuko Otake
Born in Osaka, the city of laughter and great cuisine cultures.
At the age of 10, an Italian film caught my eye, it guided me to sparking a thrilling two-year adventure in Italy in my late twenties. Those experiences abroad shaped my perspective on both Japan and the world.
My twenties and thirties were mostly a hustle in Tokyo's fashion scene. Eventually, I traded the chaos for a more peaceful life in Tsukuba City, where I became a mom to two girls.
I keep my health in check with regular course of yoga and swimming. Indulging in indie movies at the theater is my thing, a soul-feeding pleasure.
Through my experiences during post my backpacker days, my family now bonds over a shared love for immersing ourselves in different cultures, making our days lively with overseas travels and bold culinary adventures.
I'd be thrilled to help make your life in Japan even happier.

Hello! I'm Sihem, originally from Algeria. I married an Algerian and embarked on a journey that led me to various corners of the world. We started our adventure in Florida, where our family grew with the arrival of our first and second children. Guam became our next home, where we welcomed our third child into the world.
In 2014, we made the exciting move to Japan, where I gave birth to our fourth child. Now, I'm a proud mother of two girls and two boys. My children attend middle school and primary school, keeping me actively involved in their lives.
Beyond my role as a mother, I have a passion for baking, painting and crafting. I also enjoy sharing the joy of Arabic language and culture with my kids.
