My Story
I grew up in a small, happy-spirited town in Japan. My grandmother suffered from aches and wanted me to massage her neck and shoulders. Because I wanted some pocket money I started massaging as a kid, and I noticed straight away that a good massage makes people happy.
That’s why I wanted to study to become a professional massage therapist.
After I moved to New Zealand, I studied Relaxation Massage Level 4 at the Southern Institute of Technology in Invercargill. I also hold a Certificate of Achievement in Reflexology, a Certificate of Attendance for Visceral Manipulation Abdomen 1 and a Certificate of First Aid level 1. In the meantime, I have fourteen years of experience in clinics.
Massage and wellness is my passion and I love to apply my skills to make my clients feel fit, healthy, refreshed and more in tune with their bodies.
I am married to a Kiwi and we have a lovely and cheeky dog, Gigi.
