My Story

I grew up in a small, cheerful town in Japan where my love for massage first began. My grandmother often had aches in her neck and shoulders and would ask me to massage her. At first, I did it just for a little pocket money — but I quickly noticed how much happier and more relaxed people felt after a good massage. That simple joy inspired me to learn more and eventually become a professional massage therapist.

​

After moving to New Zealand, I completed my Relaxation Massage Level 4 training at the Southern Institute of Technology in Invercargill. I also hold a Certificate of Achievement in Reflexology, Certificate of Attendance in Visceral Manipulation (Abdomen 1), and First Aid Level 1.

​

Over the past 15 years, I’ve worked in various clinics, gaining experience with a wide range of clients and needs. I have also completed Myofascial Release (MFR) training with Beth Beauchamp, including MFR Foundation, Upper Body, and Lower Body courses.

​

Massage for me is not just a skill — it’s a way to help people feel lighter, calmer, and more connected to their bodies. I’m grateful to share that through every session.​​
