"From the moment I interacted with Satsuki, she really drew me in. Her kind heart and genuine character spoke volumes, without me even knowing her. Over the years, she has been such an encouragement and rock in my times of emotional craziness. Her ability to articulate and bring clarity through words, to the unspoken emotions of my heart, is truly a gift. She helps you zoom out of the situation and gather a larger picture that you may not be able to see. I value her perspective and heart so much… knowing her has helped me grow in so many different ways, I am truly blessed to be her friend."

"I am thankful for the chance to share life with Satsuki. Though it was Satsuki's creative work that had first clued me in about her, it is her caring and contemplative spirit, and how she shares it so sincerely, that I've come to admire so much. The way she approaches whatever lay before her with purpose and grace, and her ability to understand the smaller parts that make up the whole, have been helpful at times when I've needed guidance in my work and perspective in personal situations. Her calm disposition always puts me at ease, her kind words invite me to be more open and honest with myself. Conversations with Satsuki have been filling of the heart, and I've always come away feeling refocused and deeply inspired."

"Satsuki is one of those people whom you first meet and then walk away thinking "Wow, I just met someone really special!" She is warm, genuine, intuitive, and that person who you want to have in your corner forever. Her depth of character and keen sense of humor make her the person you think of when you're seeking wise counsel and an attentive ear. I'm fortunate to have a friend in Satsuki and I can't praise her highly enough."
