B eth Kempton has been inhaling the magic and mystery of Japan and has been influenced by its philosophy and aesthetics for over two decades. With a master’s degree in Japanese, Beth has spent many years living and working in Japan, which she considers her second home. Over the years, she has taken lessons in Japanese papermaking, flower arranging, pottery, noren making, calligraphy, the tea ceremony and weaving. Collectively, these experiences have led to a deep love of the country and a rare understanding of cultural and linguistic nuances.

Beth previously trained in TV presenter skills at NTV in Tōkyō and, many moons ago, hosted her own TV show on Yamagata Cable Television in the north of the country. She has written about Japan and Oriental philosophy in various publications including Wanderlust, Yoga Magazine and Where Women Create.

Beth is also an award-winning entrepreneur and self-help author, and co-founder of the online design magazine MOYŌ (which is Japanese for ‘pattern’). Together with her husband, Mr K, she runs dowhatyouloveforlife.com , makeartthatsells.com and makeitindesign.com – all of which offer tools, resources and online courses for living an inspired life. Beth also co-leads an online members’ club for soulful women entrepreneurs at hellosoulhellobusiness.com , and mentors individuals through times of major life and career change (see bethkempton.com for details).

Named a ‘Rising Star’ by Spirit & Destiny magazine, Beth was also nominated Kindred Spirit Magazine Mind Body Spirit Blogger of the Year 2017 and her blog was recently named one of the best happiness blogs on the planet. Her first book, Freedom Seeker: Live More. Worry Less. Do What You Love ., was published by Hay House in 2017. She loves leading workshops and speaking live, and is on the faculty of 1440 Multiversity in California.

Beth describes herself as a wanderer, an adventurer and a seeker of beauty, with a slight obsession with chocolate and Japanese stationery. Mother of two adorable girls, she lives a slow-ish life on the south coast of England, and loves nothing more than a dose of shinrin-yoku (forest bathing) and a picnic with her young family.
