Welcome!
Touch is an integral part of our health. There have been an increasing amount of studies showing the benefits of touch as well as the negative effects of a lack of touch on our health. In Japanese, healing with hands is called Te Ate literally meaning applying hands or placing hands, which is often said when you are helping treat someone from an injury. In eastern healing traditions touching is the act of charging the Qi, or vital life force energy, to get the life force moving. Additionally, touch unlocks and cultivates our inherent healing powers and compassion.
We all have healing powers within and the most powerful is through targetted, pressure therapy. Kaneko Shiatsu Anma therapy is an effective combination of kneading and pressure therapy using meridian lines and acupuncture points, which Dr. Kaneko has been specializing in for 50 years. With our simple educational classes, your healing power will be guided to bring people happiness.
If you have family or friends in your household this is the best time to help promote relaxation, spread compassion and share healing energies with this ancient therapy. Additionally, let’s remember when you give, you receive.
Kaneko Shiatsu Anma is beneficial for interested individuals and professionals alike.
Beginning with our Introductory Level training, Shiatsu and Anma will now be taught separately to help students develop a deeper understanding of each art individually.
Our Shiatsu Short form class will cover pressure, correcting and exercise techniques, with the additional techniques of vibration. Our Anma Long Form class will cover soothing, kneading and pressing techniques with the additional techniques of vibrating, shaking, tapping, semi-tapping, snapping, tossing and lifting. Both classes will also cover some Traditional Chinese Medicine as well as Shiatsu Anma theory.
By learning the techniques separately, students are able to build a stronger foundation, improve body mechanics, and gain greater confidence in their practice. Combining Shiatsu and Anma helps treat the body as a whole for healing fundamental issues, beyond local symptoms.
In our Advanced Level classes, these two powerful systems will then be blended together, creating a more complete and sophisticated healing approach that reflects the true depth of Shiatsu Anma Therapy. Combining Shiatsu and Anma helps treat the body as a whole for healing fundamental issues, beyond local symptoms.
Grandmaster Dr. DoAnn Kaneko and Alan Saruwatari, a former graduate of the Shiatsu Massage School of California will be teaching these classes.
