In this episode of How I Ally, I sit down with Kumiko Kanayama, founder of the longest-running Shiatsu center in the U.S., to explore the healing wisdom of her family tradition.
We talk about:

How Shiatsu goes beyond massage to work with energy channels and meridians


Simple practices that ease pain, improve digestion, and bring emotional clarity


The transformative journey of motherhood—from exhaustion to deep connection


Why rest, presence, and small daily rituals are essential for healing



Kumiko’s story is a reminder that healing is not just physical—it’s emotional, cultural, and communal. Whether you’re a parent, caregiver, or simply seeking balance, her insights will leave you inspired.
