Junko Yamasaki - New South Wales, Australia

Dropping In to Power: Personal stories of the transformational power of surfing from women of all levels, all ages, all over.

Junko Yamasaki went on holiday to Australia from her native Japan at 20 years old, and never looked back. Breaking away from her culture’s traditional expectations, she trailblazed a life fueled by curiosity, compassion and courage. Over her 52 years, she has embodied many aspects of both personal and professional womanhood - daughter, sister, wife, step-mother, daughter-in-law, sister-in-law, aunty, friend, migrant, client, translator, cat’s mum, counselor, and transformational coach. At 49 1/2, she paddled through her lifelong fear of the ocean, including the trauma of near drowning, and, not even knowing how to swim, took up surfing, which she credits for teaching her how to truly take responsibility for her own life. Through surfing, she navigated long Covid, menopause, and marital challenges with grace and humor. Junko brings such wisdom and joy to her practice of surfing! She also shares some meditation ninja tricks that help keep her grateful in the surf. Listen to Junko!
