Your Active, Pain-free and Youthful Lifestyle

Self-proclaimed "Massage Geek"  
Sakura LOVES massage & bodywork - both giving and receiving. Sakura's favorite pass time is to learn new techniques & theories of massage & bodywork through workshops, DVDs, books and reguarly training with mentors.  Due to childhood injuries, she had suffered from a variety of chronic tightness in her body.  As a result, she received numerous massages in her native Japan, America, Canada and Europe.   After 12 years of desk work, she decided to realize her life-long dream of helping others by her skills and compassion.
