I originally from Japan, graduated from a Japanese vocational school of acupuncture and moxibustion, and an athletic trainer(sports therapist). After 5 years training and study at the school, I have worked for some clinics as a sports therapist, massage therapist and acupuncturist and worked for some amateur and professional rugby teams as a sports therapist in Japan and New Zealand.

I do gentle to firm pressure massage of aroma oil massage / Japanese shiatsu massage and gentle needling. My treatment is mixed with Western medicine and Oriental medicine, which is a method of balancing the body using meridian lines and acu-point of whole body.  I combines with the both medicine to best fit the patient’s conditions and needs. Because of my experiences, I am especially good at treatment for musculoskeletal injuries.
