Ere Meera Sakamoto, LMT, CST

Ere is a holistic somatic therapist with over 20 years of experience blending Eastern and Western healing traditions to support mind–body integration, emotional release, and nervous system restoration. Her work is deeply informed by her own healing journey - anchored in meditation, somatic awareness, and a heart-centered approach to transformation.

Her intuitive and trauma-informed sessions are rooted in presence and compassionate witnessing, creating a safe space for clients to meet emotional truths, ancestral stories, and body-held memories with gentleness and respect. Drawing from Craniosacral Therapy, SomatoEmotional Release, Five Element Theory, Primal Therapy, and Systemic Family Constellation work, Ere helps clients gently reconnect with their bodies, regulate their inner experience, and rediscover their innate vitality.

Originally from Tokyo, Ere’s early life was infused with meditation and healing traditions. After years working in the fashion industry across the U.S. and Europe, a personal awakening led her to shift paths and dedicate her life to somatic healing. Her work is grounded in both personal transformation and deep professional training across meditation, bodywork, and emotional facilitation.

She has trained extensively in:
Craniosacral Therapy (Upledger Institute: CST 1 & 2, SER 1 & 2, The Brain Speaks, Unwinding Meridians, Enteric Nervous System and more)
Primal Therapy and Inner Child Healing with Svarup de Kooning completed in 2021
Systemic Family Constellation with Suzi Tucker (in progress)
Hypnotherapy and NLP with Melissa Tiers completed in 2015
Meditative therapies, including OSHO Mystic Rose, Vipassana, and Satori inquiry
Ashtanga Yoga Teachers Training in 2012

In addition to her one-on-one sessions, Ere has co-created and facilitated group healing programs and was a co-founder of Padma NYC Meditation & Holistic Center.

When not holding sessions, she continues to create ethical, nature-inspired clothing through her line Farms NYC, and regularly travels to Japan and Europe to offer retreats and connect with loved ones.
