My name means "happy child" in Japanese. I'm the owner + lead consultant at Soulful Simplicity. A long-time west coast girl from Vancouver Island, with stints in Paris and the south of France, Montreal is now home. I'm a mama to two beautiful and now grown-up girls, a daily green smoothie drinker, into yoga, mindfulness, slow living + playing outdoors as much as possible.
I'm Japanese-Canadian on my father's side and Scottish on my mother's side. I grew with nature all around me and have always been passionate about art, design and the beauty of the natural world.
Influenced by scandinavian, Japanese and modernist styles, I'm inspired by spaces that are filled with natural light, simple furnishings and just the amount of personal items that bring a sense of "soul" yet still allow the spaces to breathe. These kinds of spaces feel so good because with a harmonious balance of complementary elements and few obstructions, positive "ki" (life-force energy) can be amplified and flow freely.
The energy of our spaces is super-important. When we set up spaces with intention, they can nourish and inspire us and make it easier to live the way we want to live.
My team + I absolutely love helping our clients get empowered and re-inspired by their surroundings - it's why we do what we do!

Sylvie Entrepreneure, Longeuil
Découvrir Sachiko, La rencontrer et réaliser combien elle est empathique, à l’écoute, d’un professionnalisme incroyable couplé à une présence douce et apaisante ... La voir travailler avec énormément de passion de plaisir et un sourire constant... Après son départ tout est et reste lumineux, clair, agencé et logique... Ce n’est pas juste votre espace en tant qu’intérieur qu’elle« nettoie et agence », mais quasiment votre « moi intérieur » aussi ...
