After working for a year and a half at a foreign-affiliated consulting firm, she became a trainee at the Permaculture and Peace Dojo to pursue a lifestyle in harmony with nature’s cycles, later joining its management team.

While performing with her husband, Shun Kodama, as the musical duo Kodama to Chiyo, she was invited to compose the music for the permaculture film "TERRA-Green Planet-." This led her to encounter the Dances of Universal Peace, and she now finds deep healing in this primal, elemental approach to music.
