I want to be someone who can connect with the tension and anxiety that people feel.

This was the initial reason I became interested in the world of massage.

It was a treatment I had seen on TV a long time ago, performed by an esthetician.

A French esthetician.

I believe her name was Rose.

An actress visits Rose and receives an oil body massage.

And then, after the treatment was finished.

Tears were streaming from the actress's eyes.

Nothing particularly sad happened.
I didn't hear any sad stories.

However, I did let them touch my body.

And yet, tears are welling up.

For some reason, that scene left a strong impression on me.

"This is what happens when you touch a person's body."

That might have been my starting point.

⸻

As people go through life,
I have a lot on my plate.

I have to do my best.
I have to do it properly.
You shouldn't cause trouble for others.
You have to prioritize someone else over yourself.

Even if you don't really want to,
Even if it feels strange,
Even if you have something you want to say,

"Well, that's fine," he said, closing the lid.

I think everyone probably experiences putting themselves last in their lives.

I was the same way.

Of course, I think I am happy.

But people cannot live alone,
When interacting with others, you have to be patient, or compromise,
I try my best.

While doing so,
Without realizing it, both your body and mind gradually become tense.

It's as if it's a string that's been stretched taut the whole time.

⸻

Therefore, I

I want to become someone who can connect with the "intense tension" that such people possess.

That's what I think.

It's not just about relaxing the muscles.

It's not just about getting your body in shape.

That person,
Even for just a short time

"You don't have to try so hard anymore."

I want to create moments that make me think, "That was great!"

It's okay to leave it to them.
It's okay to relax.
You don't need to do anything.

Such peace of mind,
I want to be someone who can communicate through my hands.

That's why I've always been so particular about "how we touch."

⸻

And now I think...

It's not that I just want to become that kind of therapist myself.

I want to train therapists like that.

Only by acquiring skills and knowledge,
It's not about becoming a skilled therapist.

What kind of feelings will you have when you touch it?

How should one use their body to touch someone?

What kind of "presence" will you project when you stand before that person?

Then, that person's hand appears.

People,
Instead of becoming complacent with a reassuring hand,

People relax around those they feel safe with.

Therefore, I
I don't want this to be a school that only teaches techniques and knowledge.

When you touch that person's body,
That person can feel like they "don't have to try so hard anymore."

I want to train therapists like that.

I saw it on TV a long time ago.
The tears of one woman.

What touched my heart that day,
I might still be chasing after it, even after 23 years.

And now,

With my own hands.

and,

By the hands of the therapists I train.

To someone's tense state,
I want to increase the number of people who can be gently touched.

I think that's why I continue doing this job.
