History

Established in 1998.

I started the Alexander Technique because of repeated dance injuries twenty years ago in Japan. I have recovered from chronic back pain and severe sciatica pain successfully for good. I have been dancing Argentine Tango seriously for fifteen years in four-​inch heels without pain or injuries. I specialize in foot, knee, leg and back, sciatica pain including Plantar fasciitis, bunions, flat feet, bow legs and any balance/​alignment issues. I have helped many dancers, athletes, actors, martial artists, Pilates trainers. I teach at Academy of Arts University Film School as a movement coach to actors, singers and models.
