ABOUT
Iris Law is an author, a wellbeing educator and cultural interpreter/consulta, focused on Japanese approaches to restoration, self-care, and everyday wellbeing. Her work emphasizes how these practices and traditions can be realistically integrated into modern life.
Having spent two decades in senior roles at a top-tier U.S. investment bank, the high-pressure environments gave her insight into the realities of fatigue and stress, and the limitations of idealized wellbeing advice. This experience grounds her work and serves as the foundation for her study in self-care that are sustainable, practical, and honest about human limits.
Iris maintains a practice centered on movement, nature connection, and restorative wellbeing traditions. Her approach is grounded in professional training in health and wellness coaching, forest bathing, and Gyrotonic®, combined with extensive study across various complementary health and wellbeing disciplines. These experiences deepen her understanding of how stress and recovery manifest in the body.
Iris operates across writing, wellbeing education, and developing immersive wellbeing experiences inspired by Japanese culture. She runs wellness retreats and teaches Gyrotonic® to encourage learning through movement, travel and direct experience. She also offers workshops, talks, as well as consultation services on curating wellness experience programs. Instead of providing formulas or one-size-fits-all solutions, her work encourages a reconsideration of pace, rhythm, and recovery as vital components of everyday life — shaped in ways that are realistic and personally appropriate.
Iris is the author of The Onsen Experience: A Guide to Japan’s Hot Spring Sanctuary, and The Book of Japanese Self-Care. She is based in Hong Kong and works internationally across Asia, Europe, and the UK.
