Who is Kami Y? Hi! I'm Kami...

The Meaning of Kami
I recently discovered that in Latin-Japanese, Kami means "sacred spirit," "divinity," and "Shinto gods." It also has roots in Arabic, which means "perfect." At first, my ego sprouted—Wow, really?—but my humble nature soon responded: I am not a goddess, nor am I perfect.

As I reflected on the meaning of these descriptions, I realized: I am not divine, but like everyone else, I carry a piece of God within me. This divinity shines when my heart is full of love, compassion, and care. I am in a state of divinity when my mind is filled with joy, equanimity, peace, and happiness. Divinity within me, and within all of us, emerges when I am relaxed, energized, focused, joyful, creative, and compassionate—when I am perfectly attuned to nature.

My sacred spirit believes in the divinity of the Universe, the Creator, and the connecting power of the Source. It recognizes the miracle of birth, existence, and every moment. I also learned that Kami spirits are close to humans and respond to those in need. This resonates deeply with how I live and practice.

So yes, this is me—Kami.
Founder of Sunshine State of Mind Academy, educator, wellness advocate, arts and motivational coach, and seeker of the best in every human being. I am a believer in sacred power and limitless potential.

My Journey
My life has been an unfolding story of changing seasons—overflowing with beauty, happiness, challenges, and unexpected twists and turns. My teachings stem from the authenticity of my personal experiences, including overcoming three cancer diagnoses and navigating trauma.

These profound experiences inspired me to seek diverse healing modalities and transformational practices. After each challenge, I uncovered new methods to restore balance, resilience, and joy—blending conventional education with unconventional approaches, infused with love, creativity, and laughter. I became the first recipient of my transformational program and a motivator for others seeking their own paths to resilience and a balanced, vibrant life.

My Mission
Through a multifaceted approach, I’ve turned adversity into purpose. My life’s calling is to share the cross-disciplinary knowledge and practices that helped me survive and thrive. I guide and inspire others to discover their inner strength, overcome limiting beliefs, and embrace their own Sunshine State of Mind—a state of abundant energy, motivation, and love.

By spreading good deeds and positivity, I strive to make the world a happier, healthier, more compassionate, and creative place. Together, we can create a ripple effect that touches lives far and wide.

Viva You!
