Why would anyone want to live with muscle tension, and minor aches and pains? A full body massage by Makiko is a real treat. I am a 63-year-old endurance athlete, so I know about sore muscles and joints. Makiko does an amazing job relaxing my muscles, soothing my joints, and helping me improve my posture. Be kind to yourself, why don’t you give her a try? - Seth H. Frisbie, Ph.D. 

I am so fortunate to know Makiko as my massage therapist who I have been working with for many years now. I too am a body worker and an energy healer and it is so powerful to work with someone who shares a healing language, often non-verbal, for accessing life force energy and ease. When I receive a massage from Makiko I feel that I travel to a different realm for healing energy and she is right there traveling with me. This is in addition to an all around fabulous vigorous massage that leaves me feeling tranquil and calm in body, mind and spirit. Makiko is an incredibly gifted healer and massage therapist. - Anne Connor, Taproot Access Coaching

Makiko is a true healer. I find her massages to be extremely thorough and even transformative. Her deep knowledge of the human body is obvious. She uses her intuition throughout her practice. I believe that massage is essential for good health, whether you are massaging yourself or you have the honor and privilege of receiving a massage from such an expert as Makiko. - Kelly Sullivan, Shop Owner- Splash Naturals
