Ayumi is native to Japan and massage has been part of her everyday life since childhood. Throughout her life, she experienced various forms of manual therapy and admired this approach to healing: gentle, holistic, and multi dimensional. 

 

She appreciates the benefits from a variety of massage techniques and she continues to expand her tools to help a wider range of people. Currently she offers Neuromuscular therapy, TMJ massage, manual lymph drainage therapy (MLD) and post surgery recovery massage, as well as Swedish and deep tissue. She is a Certified Cosmetic Surgery Therapist (CCST) specializing in post-op recovery from reconstructive surgery. 

 

Before transitioning into massage therapy, Ayumi spent 10 years working in dentistry, collaborating with TMJ specialists. This experience deepened her knowledge and laid the foundation for her specialization in TMJ massage. ( TMJ massage can be booked through Neuromuscular therapy. )
