Yoko, thanks for joining us again. We’re so excited to have a services focused conversation today. Can you bring our readers up to speed on the service-offering side?
Thank you so much for this opportunity to share about what I do and the services I offer! I’m Yoko, an Image Consultant passionate about helping people uncover their gifts and present their best selves. Over 17 years, I’ve worked with thousands of leaders, artists, and organizations, and I’ve discovered that defining your own charismatic and dynamic style—based on your unique element—is key to success.

What is the Power Imaging Method?
The Power Imaging Method is a personalized approach to discovering the style that truly harmonizes with who you are. By integrating fashion, psychology, and image typing, it helps you move beyond dressing how you think you “should” and instead embrace what highlights your unique beauty. This method simplifies daily wardrobe decisions while empowering you to dress in a way that lets your essence shine and leaves a lasting impression.

What the Power Imaging Session Includes
At the heart of my work is the Power Imaging session—a transformative 90-minute one-on-one consultation conducted via Zoom. During the session, I’ll look at your face, body, tone of voice, way you speak, and body movements to discover your Element Type. You can enjoy the session comfortably from home as we explore the kind of fashion that enhances your natural strengths and presence. Together, we’ll dive into colors, shapes, textures, fabrics, hairstyles, makeup, and products that bring out your best. Our session will also highlight your gifts and unique qualities to help you step into your best self with an exceptionally impactful signature style.

What Inspired This Work?
This work was inspired by my own journey. For years, I used clothing as a way to hide, feeling misaligned with my outward appearance. Discovering my Element Type was life-changing—it gave me confidence, authenticity, and a renewed sense of freedom. Realizing how many others were struggling in the same way drove me to create a method to help them find clarity and confidence in their style.

What Problem Does It Solve?
Many people feel stuck or overwhelmed by their wardrobe, unsure how to make choices that reflect who they are or what they want to achieve. This session provides a clear, customized framework for expressing yourself authentically while simplifying daily wardrobe decisions.

What Makes It Special?
The Power Imaging session is not about trends or one-size-fits-all advice—it’s an individualized process designed to uncover your unique strengths and qualities. By combining expert observation with a deep understanding of personal expression, this session creates lasting results for professionals, leaders, and anyone seeking to elevate their presence with a signature style.

Can you paint a picture for prospective clients of what they can expect if they work with you?
The Power Imaging Session is designed to deliver lasting impact. The session itself is 90 minutes, conducted virtually over Zoom, and clients receive their personalized Element Style Tips Sheet and Color Palette (PDF) within 2 to 5 business days.

Clients describe the experience as eye-opening and transformative. They gain:
1. Clarity in their wardrobe, with colors, fabrics, and styles that complement their lifestyle and goals.
2. A simplified shopping experience, saving time and money.
3. Boosted confidence to present themselves with ease, whether professionally or socially.
4. Practical tools, such as a Style Tips Sheet and personalized color palette, to make getting dressed effortless.

Before the session, many clients feel overwhelmed and unsure why certain outfits don’t feel right. Afterward, they feel confident, polished, and ready to step out every day as their best selves. The guidance is lifelong, rooted in physical traits that remain constant, providing a timeless foundation for their personal style.

If you had to boil your services or brand down to one core message – what would that message be?
If I had to distill my services and brand into one core message, it would be this: Your style has the power to reflect your brilliance, and I’m here to help you uncover it. By providing clarity in personal style through thoughtful, tailored guidance, I’ll help you dress with confidence, attract opportunities, and step into your most confident and effortless self every day.

What has been the biggest surprise for you along this journey?
The biggest surprise for me on this journey has been discovering how deeply personal style can transform not just how you look, but how you feel and how others connect with you. I experienced this firsthand when I realized I was using clothes as armor to hide my vulnerability. My outfits didn’t feel like me—they were a shield to keep people at a distance. When I discovered my element type and began dressing in a way that worked for me, everything changed. I felt free, natural, and confident. People started connecting with me in ways I hadn’t experienced before, as if they could finally see me for who I truly was.
This personal transformation inspired me to create the Power Imaging method. I realized that so many others were using clothing to hide rather than express themselves. Helping clients shed that armor and step into their confidence has been the most rewarding part of this journey.
