I was born and raised in a small town called Shimane prefecture in Japan, an island country.  It is in the countryside surrounded by the sea and mountains.

My massage life made me move to Osaka at the age of 23. Everything started from there. I’m constantly learning and provide the best service.

At the age of 23, I started working in a big esthetic salon in Japan, where I learned the theory, technique, experience and customer service of facials, body massage, slimming and hair removal. I provided these services not only to customers but also to the staff, to improve and educate them. I started my first experience as a trainer.

After that, I became an esthetician at a dermatologist and studied under a dermatologist.

However, I wanted to learn more about massage. So I went to a massage school in Bali. There I was, able to learn lessons about the energy released from my hands.

From there the travel lover in me took over and I enjoyed the combination of traveling and a massage job on a cruise ship and in Turkey.

The job was so much fun that I set my goal to live and massage abroad. I wanted to show the world about Japanese massage. I learned techniques from many experienced veterans in Japan. Finally I started working at the Hotel Spa in Amsterdam. After Amsterdam I met the city of Arnhem through a relationship. I fell in love with the city of Arnhem where people and nature were in harmony and where there is a lot of healing energy.

For me, massage is not just a technical thing, but it regulates the flow of qi(気) and blood(血). I am convinced that the energy that can be transmitted from the heart and hands are enormous.

I would like to stay in Arnhem and meet a lot of inhabitants of Arnhem. I would like the people of Arnhem to experience my Japanese massage.
