What is

The Hachi Spirit

Hachi is both a beloved, real-life legend and the namesake of the dog that inspired the film Hachi: A Dog’s Tale. The popular film is shaped by two profound inspirations: the historic story of Hachikō, Japan’s beloved and “most loyal dog,” and the real-life bond between Vicki and her canine companion Hachi.

Now celebrating the historic Hachikō’s 100th birthday, the film’s simple power has stood the test of time, inspiring all viewers seeking to tackle life’s challenges.

Hachi’s story includes pure joy but also upheaval, uncertainty, and sorrow. Yet through it all, he stays true to his nature, even when he feels lost. His tenacious love and passion guide him on his journey, and his loyalty and adventurous spirit transform the hearts of a community.

Whether you’re familiar with the historical Hachi, the film, or you’re here to simply experience a little more joy and a lot more adventure, I couldn’t be more excited for you to embark upon a journey of self transformation.

Hi, I'm Vicki

Dog Lover, Life Travel Guide, and Joyful Adventurer.

Looking back at my colorful life, you’d think I was a born adventurer. Considering my role as a producer of Hachi: A Dog’s Tale, you’d certainly think I had a film background, or at least some industry experience! In reality, I’m a sensitive introvert who has learned to channel her passion and purpose into a kaleidoscope of new opportunities.

As the founder of Vicki & Hachi, I guide women on their journey back to themselves and into their one big, visible, authentic life, but I used to never even want to be noticed. I watched other people’s lives from the sidelines, scared to speak up or express my own desires. 

What lit me up, though, was my rich inner life, fueled by limitless imagination and endless curiosity. I dreamed of the day when I could escape the boundaries around me and enter a world full of endless possibilities.


As it turns out, my dreaming was never in vain! 

Because I’ve had a unique and colorful life full of magical, glittering moments like my exotic dream homes in the South Pacific and Hawaii, a series of life-enhancing adventures from an idyllic month in Tuscany, a villa in St. Paul de Venice, and marlin fishing in Vanuatu, (just to name a few!), developing lifelong friendships with fascinating individuals while forging soulful connections.  

Now, I’m helping you do the same!

It’s never too late to stand on the brink of change, channel your Hachi Spirit, and become the hero of your own passion-full story.

"If you don't cry at this story, you're probably dead inside."

This is a very important movie about the true meaning of life: benevolence, connection, love, loyalty, hope.”

"It's heartbreaking and meaningful and so much more than a 'dog story:'

it's about our deepest connections and how they transcend our limited view of reality. "Hachiko" is a compelling story about a noble animal, a great teacher, and one man's closest companion.”
