What Our Clients Say
Matsuo Keiko
“The therapists here provide traditional shiatsu massages, similar to those provided in Japan. The experience is not only relaxing, but is a proper treatment of Oriental medicine. In Japan, many visually impaired people are acupressure therapists, as their sense of touch is much more sensitive than others. I strongly recommend people to try this out.”
Anna Suvorova

Yuwanmini Landersz
“It was an experience. The treatment was professional, done very well and with great care. It’s also an inspiration to all of us that it’s possible for anyone to accept what life has offered and move forward to impact so many.”
