Dancing since 6 years of age, I had been a ballet dancer in Japan and a modern dancer in New York before I turned to Bodywork.  For the past 12 years, I have also been an avid Yoga practioner.  I became Guild Certified Feldenkrais Practioner in 2013 and started to build my practice in San Francisco as well.

My bodywork sessions are strongly informed by my experiences as a dancer and yoga practitioner.  I also rely on my intuitions as well as observation and listening skills developped by my years of experiences and Feldenkrais training.
